all about Durham!

The pics are up at TeenCraft about our trip to Durham.

they did it!

Sahm has not been doing her usual sahm duties. Not been studying.... kids not doing much school.... BUT...

the girls have raised enough money for the trip to Durham next week! Two girls, ages 11 and 14 raised $400 in 6 weeks. Well, I know their dad paid for about half the materials... but still, that's pretty good! They actually sewed all those pocketbooks - over 50. They used some of the money for supplies, and a few pocketbooks were given away to people who helped.

And we could not have done it without help. So I should say the girls and people helping them raised that much money in 4 weeks! ...their Grandma Shelby, Aunt Geraldine, Amy B (Mom of a child Geraldine babysits), Josie (Grandma's friend), Robin (my friend and Josie's daughter-in-law) Mabel (goes to my Mom's and Josie's church), Hannah (Shelby's sister's daughter-in-law), and of course, me -- doing the blog, posting on facebook, emailing friends, making business cards, etc. I'm the advertising manager, ha.

To learn more, read What we do.

Later I want to get pics of the people who helped and tell a bit more about how they helped, and will post that on TeenCraft.

So, now... catch up on school!

try them and you may, i say, part 2

Well, we tried them. Eggplant that is. That's Bethany on the left grilling it. Rebekah is frying squash! :o) We've never had eggplant, so I'm not even sure we cooked it the right way! I looked it up online, and will definitely look up more ways to cook it! It wasn't terrible, just not tasty. Hmmm... maybe a little terrible, lol.

We'll have to try again... Any suggestions?
