Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope everyone is with special people this weekend.

Today is Levi's Birthday and he is hunting with his Dad in Georgia. We are having Thanksgiving at my nephew's and all of our family will be there.

 A little cold snap has come in and it really puts us in the holiday spirit.

 

 

 

I can't wait for our Turkey and Ham dinner with all of the fixings....

 

Sweet Potato casserole, and stuffing, and cookies and pies....

Can you tell I'm hungry?

 

 

I better get busy and get things ready..... I hope you all are blessed this Thanksgiving and it is a safe holiday.

Barberville Pioneer Settlement

Last week we went on a field trip to a historic pioneer settlement. This was a high school built in the 1800's.

Here is the little country store.

This lady was teaching us about the Indians and she let us try sofkee. An Indian dish that was pretty much like watery cold grits.

 

Learning about Pottery.

 

Making his pinch pot.

 

The goose.

 

I love this fence.

 

Petting the goats.

 

This is the "ant" brothers.....they wanted me to take their picture because they were all bitten by ants and are now "ant" brothers... children.

This is the old train station.

 

 An adorable historic church.

 

Do I see a future preacher?

 

The slave quarters.

 

They would have used old newspapers to help insulate the walls. I think it was very smart and resourceful.

 

Old Quilts.

 

Beautiful...

 

The simplicity of this apron...blowing in the breeze. I am sure it has many stories to tell of homemaking days gone by.

 

A quaint little cabin.

 

Done up in a most homey fashion.

 

With all of the sweetest and simplest pleasures and comforts of life.

 

Well that's all folks.... thinks for touring with us...
