Whatever Girlfriends

Fall fun means pumpkin, cider, cinnamon, leaves, vines, gourds......you know what makes you smile.  We did the pumpkin quest and hayride.  Also threw in a campfire at the request of our grandson.  I will show you the pictures from our adventure then I want to give you a really good recipe for a pumpkin spice cake that is delicious.  I also have been busy with some craft creations so I will show the pics of them, too.    Here we are at the farm.  It was a beautiful day and lots of fun!    Posing with the pumpkins.  Picking out a pumpkin to take home was a job.  Lots to choose from.  All shapes and sizes!  Sister and brother.  Busy getting the pumpkins ready to carve.  Messy business!  Tada!    Proud of his creation.  Can you tell what this is?  Looks pretty good!

Hey,girlfriends!  I have not been able to take the time to blog and I would like to share a little of that with you.  Then I will share my recent pumpkin capers!  grin Some of you know we have been trying to help Kevin, a young man that we have known since he was 5 years old because he and Mark have been in school together and been friends all through elementary school.  Kevin has been with our family on vacations, weekend camping trips, church, lake days, and more through out the years. We moved away, but still tried to keep in touch with him and see him when we could.  A year ago he was in a pretty bad accident and we did not know if he would live, then we did not have much hope he would be able to function in any kind of normal way.  But our God is generous and He gave Kevin a miracle of life and such vast improvement, so much that if you met him today you would not have any idea that he was practically lifeless and broken last October.  Well, Kev...
