A Little Bit of Everything

Aahh...Saturday...it's still our favorite day of the week. Here's what the Mountain Musings crew is up to today.

Tom - Even before 9 a.m. I could hear the buzz of some machine down in the garage. Tom got an early start on his woodworking projects today. He'll work on jelly and spice cabinets all morning, and before lunch he and I will walk to the mailbox and back for our 1.6 mile walk of the day.

Jonathan - zzzz...is sleeping in since he's usually up early to head out to school. Later this morning he and Hannah will head to an art gallery. One of his art class assignments is writing a report on two paintings. He'll be driving to Bridgewater College's gallery where we're thinking the art may be less objectionable than some found at other art galleries.

Hannah & Sarah -  Today's the day to try on the bridesmaid's dress that has been picked out for them for Micah's wedding in June. We've searched and found a bridal store in Lynchburg that has one size only in stock of the style selected. We'll need to order an extra yard of material to make sleeves and cover part of the V-back; hope it will look okay.

Micah - He safely made it to Georgia last night after driving 9 hours to spend his Thanksgiving week off with Elizabeth. They will leave tonight driving another 12 hours to Ohio (outskirts of Cleveland, on Lake Erie) to visit Elizabeth's aunt who is helping pick out wedding dress material for the pattern Elizabeth has designed and plans to sew. They will drive back to Georgia on Tuesday to spend Thanksgiving with her parents. If you think of them, please pray for safety on the roads with the extra holiday traffic and success with wedding preparations.

Deb - A little bit of everything: cleaning, laundry, organizing my desk, walking with Tom, driving to Lynchburg, and getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone's weekend is a good one. Let us know what's happening.

So, did you find bridesmaid dresses you liked, Hannah? I know you mentioned that you were having some difficulty finding dresses you liked and felt comfortable with. Maybe you could post pictures. :-)

The guys headed out to deer hunt on opening day today...John shot a 9 point buck that weighed 175 pounds after it was field dressed! Sarah and I did some shopping, got our shoeboxes together for Samaritan's Purse Christmas project, and ate out for lunch at Chic-Fil-A. Sarah also bought new yarn to knit a hat to match a pullover she was given for her birthday. How did the dress fitting go? Would love to see pictures!

That sounds like fun, Hannah ( the dress part, not the art, ugh :) )! Let me know how it went!

Thanks, Jaime, for stopping by and commenting! Check your e-mail box this afternoon. :)

To everyone who wanted to know about the dresses, we were glad we made the trip to try them on. It was successful in that we were able to get measured and just see the dress in person. I don't think you would want to see a picture of me in the dress--it "swallowed me whole" as Mom put it.:) It will be nice to see the finished product once Elizabeth adds the final touches. I'm sure we'll eventually be posting pictures!
