Antique Sunflowers Kit by Carol Rupley

My sunflower friend, Marsha, shown here with her growing colt. A true country gal...but was city born and raised! These are some wildflowers that grew along the edge of her vegetable garden. Our DHs consider them weeds, but we don't weed them...lol!



I took this photo after the giant sunflower was spent and leave drying. Marsha mention she kept thinking she would call me because she knew I would like to take a picture. Well, the picture turned up in my calendar Marsha always gives me for Christmas.

Journaling - I bow my head and give thanks for you - Marsha, My friend

Attended a national Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America Annual Meeting in Las Vegas...we were celebrating our 50th Anniversary and thought Vegas was a good place to hold our 2002 Annual Meeting! Got to see a few sights including the erupting volcano at the Mirage...pretty amazing to see!



One of the ladies in our group had a niece who work for Paul Anka and she got us free tickets to his show at the MGM Grand! Brought back lots of teenage memories...he opened the show with Diana and sang all his greatest hits and answered questions from the crowd!

We had Thanksgiving with Aunt Allie's great-grandchildren...cousins we haven't seen since Luke was a baby. We made two table cloths. One for Sue, the cousin's grandmother, and one for me, the younger cousin's grandmother, and put everyone's hand prints on it, even Reese's! What a keepsake! Initials and their date of birth were put by each set of hand prints. Names and ages were printed very large around the edge of the table cloths.
Journaling:
From right to left--Ian age 14, Hannah age 16, Reese age 6 weeks (Hannah is holding her), Olivia age 12, holding Avery age 3, Luke age 6, Sophie age 11, Bryce age 8 and Jordyn age 5.

Love the stickers from Old Fashioned Thanksgiving by Paris Designs...perfect for a LO for Aunt Allie Rae who is now 91 years old. The bluebird stickers worked great, too, as there are all ages of cousins here!
