Virtuous traits form the foundation of a Christian life and are the outward manifestation of the inner man.”
-Bishop H. David Burton

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
If you are inspired to do the same–leave us a link in the comments.
Happy Conference weekend everyone.

PS~ Oh-oh! See my guest post at Farm Bell Recipes!
Stepping up production of the pumpkin hats in the shop. They seem to be a hot item this year–wahoo!
This one’s a bit more of …ummmm…a boyish pumpkin. Note the bolder stitching…
and the blatantly missing scallops. No lacy lady here folks–never mind the background. This is a manly pumpkin hat–I tell you, though still made with the same soft Peaches & Cream Cotton that I love–in Burnt Orange.
But in the next few days I’ll be posting some more additions to the shop for the men-folk called the “Big Hunk” and “Little Hunk” lines. And soon…oh, I promise—so soon, we will have the “Lovely Ladies” additions to our hat collections–for us grown gals.
All because you asked. So please, my friends…stick around.
I love having you in my world.

…putteth his mother to shame.”
Isn’t that a bible verse or something? If it isn’t, it should be.
So, here’s the story—
We grown-ups were minding our own business, having a discussion of some sort in the office when we heard an unusual amount of giggling coming from the kitchen—always a dangerous sign with a three year old loose in the house. We came around the corner to find, to our surprise, that a 25lb. bag of flour can, indeed be ripped in half by a determined kid with a fork. Pretty sure he thought there was a prize inside.
He was wrong…
dang cute…
but wrong.

Ooooh-hooo…lookey where we got to go–thanks to our sweet little Jillian. She saw Lion King in London and would positively not allow us to miss it when it came here, to our very own town.
But first, for the sake of the evening, we simply had to go to the Melting Pot for dinner. It was an amazing place with melted cheesy fondue in pots on the table with bread and veggies to dip into it.
And then…then…
they brought out the chocolate…and all the incredible things to dip into it.
Yeow.
I personally thought it would be a good idea if they just pulled out pillows and blankets and just let us sleep over. It was that good and the only thing that would have made it even better would have been to not be rushed.
Ahh…but we had a show to get to.
Sadly, this is the only shot I was allowed to take–before the show started. We were strictly forbidden to take any kind of pictures once the play started…and I didn’t want to go to jail or anything. I’m kind of a coward in real life.
But I found a way to show you a bit of what we saw…oh, do brace yourself.
Amazing…
Simply amazing.
Thank you Jillian.
