Raking leaves then a bonfire & roast wienees

Rolling down the hill into a leaf pile. They buried me in the pile.
My friend Wendy and her kids were over to help rake leaves then burn them, it made short work of the leaves in the yard--thanks guys!

Bachelor Party

Three of my neighbor bachelors were over for dinner. I wanted to fix lasagna but can't make "lasagna for one" so invited the fellows. They are very appreciative when they get a home cooked meal. A couple nights later they grilled out and I was invited, I brought salad. That's how we do things here on the river. The toast is "Above the damn and below the tracks, we watch each others backs."

Doll clothes

For Lizzy's dolls: cheerleading outfits and "spa day" gear. Bec said Liz and a friend played non-stop as soon as they arrived. These are fun to make and much easier than Barbie clothes.
