food, crochet, merriment
I had this idea that for each of Dane’s Birthday and Christmas presents I would just make him a fireplace garland for a different holiday.
Trouble is, whenever I make a new one, I usually love it so much that instead of putting it in a “Save for Christmas” box…
I get so excited to show it off…
that I just…
you know…
give it to him.
Now I need to think of something else for Christmas. Ha,ha.

My son Dane has had a booth for his work at the fairs and festivals in the area since early summer. I love going with him to just sit in the booth and talk.
This week, he had a booth with some real perks. THIS was a Fall Fair staring the Bacon Brothers!
I had no idea that Kevin Bacon–from Footloose and his brother Michael, tour around the country playing their own music–just for the fun of it. The concert was totally free and open to the public.
I’ve loved Kevin Bacon in Footloose–even named my son Rhen.
I’ve hated Kevin Bacon after watching him be SUCH a scary bad guy in River Wild. Seriously, it scarred me for a long time.
But I’ve come back to the loving Kevin Bacon phase again, seeing how much fun he’s having playing his own music with his brother for no other reason than that it makes them both so happy.
We should all give that a try.
These guys are so dang incredible. Amazing talent.
If I spoke another language…which I don’t, it would be this.
I remember telling my babies to “be brave, and it will be all right.” Maybe that’s just the advice we all need these days.
