I love the fall flowers & the changing of the leaves. Here are a few pictures from my front yard including the header. (mums)

These are my first cockatiel babies and although they are not my oldest birds they are my second and third oldest. The white bird is Betty and the gray pied is Bud. They are sweet birds and very attached to each other and preen each other a lot. They are about 9 years old.

Our Day

I took Kristen bowling today. It was nice to get her out and about. She had a nice time. We goof around and get silly in the bowling alley. hee hee



















When we got home we made up the treat bags for Halloween. :P

Halloween Party Mice

Kristen and I made some mice for the Halloween party the kids are having tomorrow night. These are fun and easy to make. I haven't made them since the kids were little. They are older now but love this. You're never to old for a mouse cup cake I say. ;D I'll post some pics of the party. ;D It should be fun for them. They are very particular about the friends they have and the ones they have are very nice. :D

This most unusual sight is a few miles from Stockton College in Pomona, New Jersey. I drove by this many times and it looked like old coke bottles all along the fence. I stopped one day to take a closer look (and a picture) and was surprised to find that they weren't old coke bottles at all. lol. I guess they are some sort of solar energy thingy. I would love to know. If I ever see someone in the yard I will stop to ask. I must know!!

Kristen's Pumpkin

We picked up a couple of pumpkins at one of the many farmer's stands that line the White Horse Pike on the way to Stockton College. Kristen picked this one out and promptly sat down and did this painting on it. ;D It only took her about 20 minutes to paint. She intends to paint some more on it so I will update the pictures later.

Kristen's Story

Stop by My Book Reviews to see a short story written by Kristen. Please post your comment as she would love to hear from you. :D Thanks!

Sisters

Here are some pictures of me and my beautiful sisters. The first one is from 1961. Can you match up who is who?

"The" Mushroom of all Mushrooms

Can you believe that this is a mushroom? Look at the size of it!! I didn't measure it but if you look at the leaves of the plant in front of the 'shroom, you will get an idea. I'm going back with a measuring tape to get the size. I ran into a lady who lives nearby and she said that she sees deer regularly and a fox is also found of this area. Maybe they eat the 'shrooms? The woods are so peaceful, I love it.

Funny Sign

We saw this sign while browing the stores in the Farmer's Market. hee hee Maybe they should reword this one?

Another Play

This was from another play that Kristen wrote. Written, filmed, finished, except for editing.

4th of July

Since it's still July I don't feel too bad about posting 4th of July pics at the end of the month. :D

We had front row seats and it was a beautiful evening..........not too hot. We brought a blanket and sat on the grass. It was an A+ evening.

Happy Birthday Kristen

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Kristen. Happy 17th Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

And many more!

People of Colors

Face paint + 3 girls + plus one writter of plays. Mix them all together and you've got a very colorful play and 3 great movie stars.

Erin's painting

This is Erin's painting of Mt. Rainier. She painted it because she really, really, really wants to be near her Aunt Dodi and Uncle Tom who live in Washington. She got an honorable mention for this one. It is an awesome painting and is hanging in my living room. It gets lots of compliments and is so very beautiful!!

Kristen's Painting

This is Kristen's painting from the art show. My favorite part is the hand holding the fan. Hands are hard to draw/paint to begin with. She has really captured it......the shadows..........the foreshortening........perspective.........the works!

Erin's sketch

Here is a sketch that Erin had in the art show. It's a big size, 18" X 24". It's so realistic looking! 2 years in art school has really paid off. ;D

Kristen's water color

This is a water color that Kristen made for the art show. I think it's fabulous! She has a great eye for color and her rendering of the glass vases and bottles is perfection. ;D

Hermit Crab

The student art show was last Friday. Here is Erin's hermit crab sculpture and drawing. She won an honorable mention for the sculpture.
