One week ago I finished 25 rounds of radiation! To finish this I have spent eight days in the hospital, and now looking forward to healing. This all started early in May when I found out I have cancer of the uterus. This lead to; blood clods, seeing a heart specialist, having surgery, radiation, and from all the side affects from this and the drugs.. I'm now left with some pain in my lower back. I'm sure in time this will also go away. So please leave a comment to enter, and if you have time please share on your blog and Facebook. I did take some pictures of the staff and the machine, but because of the lead in the walls they did not turn out well. So please help me celebrate the end of this long journey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
May you all have a blessed Holiday Season!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween is the day before All Saints Day. First started to mark the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, with its darker days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Ireland and Scotland they used turnips to carve, but the immigrants to North American like the native pumpkin better for carving. The first recorded carving the pumpkin started in 1837, but it was not until the mid 19th century that that it become associated with Halloween. Thousand of vintage Halloween post cards shows children dressed up, but not going door to door trick or treating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first mass produced customs for Halloween where in the stores in the 1930's. Beside ghost stores at parties there is apple bobbing, or eating donuts hung from string that had to be eaten with out the use of your hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween foods include candy apples, candy corn, caramel apples, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, roasted pumpkins seeds and apple cider. Enjoy your Halloween and make it a safe day for our kids..</div>

I was away welcoming home my son and daughter in law from Afghanistan. The first shop is Melbecreations, come and meet Melissa the owner of this shop. She comes from Minnesota, where she loves to photograph Mother Nature. Once she has her pictures done she turns them into some amazing kaleidoscopes. Each picture can make many different kaleidoscopes. Melissa then turns these kaleidoscopes into prints for framing, note cards, sun catchers, ceramic titles and pendents. Check out each one to see if you can find the animal or flower that made up each one. Melissa is also are team cheerleader, promoting each of us on Facebook, Pinterest and more. <br />

The next shop is PW Originals, come and visit with Pam from Virginia. Pam designs, creates, sews, shops for fabrics for her wonderful purses, scarfs, pillows, pincushions. She even has purses and bags for girls and young ladies. Pam started sewing at a young age, making money sewing formals gowns with a rented sewing machine. She made all her clothes in college! Her love of fabric shows in the care of each items she makes. Pam has a kind word for everyone on the team, and keeps us going! Besides sewing well, she volunteers at the hospital local gift shop.

The first refrigerator used ice blocks to keep them cold. This was the latest and greatest fine for the kitchen. The poem below comes from the book "A Garden Supper Tonight" by Barbara Swell. Little poems where used to help get chores done and keeping a house in order. This one is for the new ice box!<br />

It is that time of year for straw, pumpkins, scarecrows, cornstalks! With this done it is time for the apple orchard for some cider and donuts! Take the time with very little money to make your home a happy place to be! All of these goodies (less the scarecrow - which is 15 years old) came from the local farmer down the road. Love to support our local farmers and find some great finds to make my house a home.

This group of mothers was incorporated in 1929, then on June 23, 1936 the last Sunday of September of designated Gold Star Mothers Day. The Gold Star is given out by the Department of Defense. So on the last Sunday of September hug your kids, many can not.</div>

Today I learned of the passing of Andy Williams. I remember watching all of his Christmas specials with my family growing up. This made me think of all the other great Christmas programs that came on once a year, like White Christmas, Bob Hope Specials, Charlie Brown, Frosty and more. Watching all of these great programs as a family was part of our Christmas, with popcorn sitting on the flooring and not wanting any of them to end. Sad to think back and remember all the good times and how the family fun is not part of TV watching anymore. This was a time of saying "Merry Christmas" and not worrying about not being PC correct. The magic that was part of my growing up is gone, but I can hope that this will change someday. All I can do is keep it going for my family!

I have been sick most of the summer, and then had some big issues with my blog. So now I'm getting well, and the blog is fixed!!!! YEA! With all of this behind me let's visit with some of the wonderful shops from the Dirtroad Team. The first shop is our team leader Phyllis from Montezuma Mudd Pottery, from Colorado, and one of our potters. After being evacuated this summer because of the forest fires, and the big clean up, she is back. Her shop is filled with pottery that is oven, dishwasher and microwave safe, unless otherwise stated. She uses non toxic, lead free glazes on her pottery. Plus her sister does some amazing pencil drawings that Phyllis turns into decals for her pottery. Love it when family helps each other out, plus her mother is also one of the team captains. <br />

The next shop is Metal by Mandy, from Kansas, where Amanda the shop owner specializes in silver and copper. You will find some wonderful personal pendants, plus pendants that she has made up already for you to purchase. My favorite is the baby fingerprint, what a wonderful gift for the new parents or grandparents! This would make for a very special and personal gift this Christmas season.<br />

Make sure to add both shops to your favorites so you can come back for some great gifts this holiday season.<br />

The Dirtroad Team has a web site <a href="http://www.dirtroadartist.com/">http://www.dirtroadartist.com</a>, where you can find and visit some of the other wonderful shops from this team. Each of us comes from a small town across the U.S., and each one of us comes with our own talents. Love the great mix on this team, plus the care we have for each member. If you are on Etsy and live in a small town check out this caring team.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01886113177048974899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956337066206687147.post-86970604157049334792012-09-10T15:22:00.001-04:002012-09-10T15:22:39.391-04:00Sale - Sale - Sale

Welcome to another What is it Wednesday! Yes it is a wedding dress. June is the month for weddings, and this wedding dress was my mothers. My mother and dad new each other growing up. My dad was with his friends and my mother was with hers. When World War II started, my dad joined the Army Air Core (now the Air Force), and was home on leave, when they met once again. This time they started writing each other, became engaged in a letter, ring mail home in another letter. Then my dad was sent to England, with more letter writing. Both families getting together for Sunday and Holiday dinners. My dad like so many others mailed my mom his parachute. All parachute where made from silk, and many a war bride wore a dress from a parachute. My grandfather (my mothers dad), was a tailor, and made the dress for her to wear. With food being ration, and wanting to have a wedding, most of their families and friends donated their ration stamps for the wedding. This was their wedding gift. A day to be shared with many, and everyone doing their part to make sure everyone had something to eat. After they said "I DO", there was a breakfast for everyone at the church, afternoon of picture taking, and a big wedding dinner. Both mothers (of the happy couple) and their friends did all the cooking with the food from the ration stamps. Chickens where purchased live from a farm, and killed the back yard. They where married sixty four years when my mother passed away, and my dad shortly after. Simple time for a long marriage.</div>
