I LOVE A PARADE!!

Gourd Evening!!

This is my time of the year! Pumpkins, GOURDS, Halloween and parades! We all went to the Columbia Pa Halloween Parade. My beautiful niece Catherine was marching in the parade with her baton school.

My sister Heidi lives in Marietta, Pa the town beside Columbia. Both towns are rich with history. Sorta a Civil War Federal vintage town, the homes are beautiful and the people are great. Nestled by the river, the Civil War soldiers would stay in these towns on the way to Gettysburg.

Columbia was like New York City, bustling with people in the streets just waiting for the parade, the spooky sights and all the candy! Of course all the street vendors selling balloons, pretzels, neon necklaces, hot dogs and coffee.

Abbie had her picture taken with the balloon clown who made a twisted flower and dog balloon.

All the batons flying, veterans bands marching, the smell of fresh peanuts in the air, candy being thrown from fancy cars, clowns on motorcycles, spooky goblins, ghosts, witches, well I think Laurence Welk sums it up!

Check it out!

Gourd Wishes!!

THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY, NEW LIFE

Gourd Evening,

I am back from my long weekend at Leesport Harvest Craft Fair. What a long, tiring weekend. What used to be are best show has now been hit by the hard times are nation is facing. We still sold lots of gourds and meet lots of nice people, but the mountain was empty with vendors who didn't come back to try it again. The crowds we just passing by and looking. We are thankful for what we sold and so happy to be going back in November. It really makes you wonder how we can save our nation.

Here is a typical day on the road for a craft show. Me and my beloved Gourdfather start out early before the sun has come up. He loads everything in the truck the night before and we make our pilgrimage to Turkey Hill for coffee and I have to talk to my peeps at the Hill.

We chat on the way, he chats, I sleep. We arrive just before sunrise and unload the van, or Milty unloads the van, I sleep. I mean I start displaying gourds on ladders.

Dottie and George beside us are always set up and ready to go by the time we pull into our spot.

Soon our stand is full of gourds and sunshine, ready for the day.

It is always so nice to be HOME at the end of a long weekend!

I came home to a beautiful sight on my door, a praying mantis and if just made me feel like we all will get through these hard times and be stronger people and we will have a stronger nation. Also with my own struggles in life and what I will be facing at the beginning of November, I will be fine, I will be strong and I will survive.

Gourd Wishes and Gourd Night,

Wendy

MY ZANEY IS 16!

Gourd Evening!

Last night was a milestone!

Our son Zane is now 16!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZANE!

We had the whole family over for a Chinese buffet, Zane's favorite and we had presents and cake! Good times!!

Magi, Poppy, Heidi and Catherine and all of us were singing him the birthday song!

He is very excited about driving my car! He took it for a spin in the backyard, watch out neighbors! He will be a very responsible driver I have no doubt!

You turn around one day and they are 16! I can remember the day I had Zane, best day of my life.

You are a wonderful guy.....don't ever change.

We love you, Zane!

Dad, Mom and Dewie

BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND!!

Well, here it is Sunday night and the weekend is coming to a close. We had a great show at the Apple Fest in Darlington Maryland.

What a quaint little town. The beer at the Susquehanna Inn was great also after the show! Great food and beer! We always stop for dinner after a show and it is crazy and fun at the Inn.

At the fest Abbie had her hair painted pink and purple. She also painted some pottery for Zane's birthday and got plenty of tattoos!

The show was packed with lookers and shoppers.

We had are best display ever!! What a beautiful picture of our gourd apples!!
To all my gourdy friends! Gourd Nite!!
