It's been awhile since I blogged last. I have done alot in the couple weeks...took Niall and Rhiannon to the Christmas Preview aka Sunny's Craft Show. Lots of very nice things to be seen but WAY too many people. Keman spent that entire weekend over at friends' houses. Last weekend I made a ham and invited Brad over for supper, it allowed him to visit with his daughter, I spent the majority of his visit when I wasn't cooking or eating, setting up my Christmas tree. Last week was pretty boring,most days usually are. This weekend I have been working on some Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls that I am making for Rhiannon. I had one when I was little that Auntie Dona had made for me, I honestly wish I knew what happened to it...LOTS of my things went missing when Marilyn came in on the scene. Anyway, I am happy to be able to sew these for my daughter, and I hope she loves them as much as I loved mine. I found this poem online that describes how I hope she will feel about them in the future.
My Raggedy Ann
We played together Raggedy Ann,
As playmates often do.
I always shared my dreams,
with nobody else but you.
Each night my prayers were whispered,
with you snuggled by my side.
On stormy nights the thunder,
made us cover up and hide.
Now your eyes have both grown weary,
and your arm is slightly torn.
Your cuddly body is tattered,
and your nose is mashed and worn.
We did so much together, Raggedy Ann
the years, oh how they flew.
And I cherish every memory
of growing up with you.

I have been at Becky's all weekend sewing, visiting and today we made 11 trays of meat buns. Wonderful things, great for a quick lunch. Found a good recipe for coconut macaroons that I am going to make up for Christmas. Well time to get off and butter the tops of more buns and then take the kids home to bed. Until next post, Be Thou Blessed.
