Family--It's about time

Well, the girlies have a couple days off from school for fall recess---we are going away to play!! I love being with them and my hubby. Hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week--see ya later, alligator.
Oh, since I won't post for Thoughts for Thursday, I thought I would share a thought my Rebecca wrote. Her assignment in English was to write something similar to the saying in the movie "Forest Gump" that goes, "Life is like a box of chocolates....."(you know the one). Anyway, she wrote 10, but this one is my favorite:

"Life is like an orange...You won't know if it's sweet or sour until you peel it and eat it." Pretty perceptive for a 9 year old!!

Be Nice to People,
Julie

I just found your blog and have loved reading the first few posts. Family is SO IMPORTANT to me also. I LOVE the HAPPY JACK wall hanging. I want to learn to quilt so badly and this looks like something I might be able to do with just squares but I've waited too long to do a Halloween hanging for this year---maybe next. Do you have a "simple" idea for a Christmas one? I'll be back visiting you again.

Hi Julie

What a beautfiul family you have.

I hope you enjoy your time away as a family and I know you will have a wonderful time together.

You are so very clever making your Happy Jack wall hanging.

Our temperatures are starting to warm up here in Australia, getting ready for a hot and humid Christmas. The snow is falling in your neck of the woods, getting ready for a white Christmas. Ahhh, how I love Christmas.

Love
Elise
