Here’s how my little grands looked for their trick or treating nite.
I’ve finished a quilt to donate to a silent auction as a fund raiser for a motorcycle club in Fl. All proceeds go to supplying and stocking a food pantry in their area. It’s the 2nd year I’ve been a part of this. Last year was a sailboat theme quilt, so I’m keeping with the theme for this years quilt.
I’m loving the look. It’s kinda big measuring 96”x96”. The center sailboats are a fabric panel, then I used a matching blue sailboat print, a blue pinstripe, and then a white strip to form borders around the panel. Pinwheels in each corner are put in give a framed look.
My connection to this club is my daughters in-laws are in the club and I partnered with them to contribute an item for the silent auction. I’m happy to be able to join in this and give a little to those in need.
The silent auction is in December and I’ll be donating a 2nd quilt also. Only it’s not even started yet, do I have to get busy to come up with another one.

I’ve made a lot of quilts lately, so I tried my hand at getting rid of them this way. I’m did ok and sold a few. I also had an “Enter To Win” give-away to entice people to stop and look at my merchandise. That worked like a charm. 
Right before the end of the evening I had the drawing and the person who won was still at the festival and she picked it up. I gave away this baby crib quilt.
I’m now planning to do a Christmas festival in early December and sell some more. Wish me luck again!

This one had a Happy Ninth Birthday Party in October. Happy Birthday sweet girl!
A few years ago I started a new tradition where I give each grand their own special party with just me and Pawpaw and their mom dad and siblings. They choose their theme, I bring cookie cake, candles, decorations, and gifts to shower them with my love.

There was remembering 9-11 day. I happen to be keeping the youngest of the grands for the day. We had our own remembrance of that day.
I introduced him to the flag of the USA. We had our own parade and enjoyed our day together.
I can always count on dirt bike races and soft ball games to keep me entertained on weekends. My peewee class dirt bike rider brought home 1st place and hole shot, which is first off the start and first at the first turn.
This 10up team was on fire at a weekend softball tournament. They won championship after playing 11 teams all weekend.
One little one had tonsillectomy and took a few extra days to recoup and I got to stay a few days with them and give him all the mawmaw TLC he needed. He was a trooper and is now wild as ever.
Yes, this is all about the grands and how they entertain me. I have to show #3 out of the 5 to be even-steven. Her pastime is dance and having to be at all her sisters ball games. But when I’m there too, she’s my sidekick.
My dear sweet mother-in-law passed away at the age of 92 during this time. After the lovely celebration of life for her we took pictures of her legacy, which is her family she left behind. We know we’ll see her again when we all get to heaven.
Happy Birthday to the youngest of our kids. He’s a husband, a dad, a hard worker, fun, loves outdoors, loves to do the cooking, and loves everything else that would make him a great person. Yes, I’m getting carried away.
Happy birthday Trent!
