I was pretty busy all day – worked this morning, then popped down to L&L Fleatique. I was looking for a mini pumpkin – like the size of a nickel. Found it!
My castle gets little seasonal additions… The sunflower fairy on the tower.
Sunflower cow and mini pumpkin
Had toast and tomato for lunch, then changed the sheets on the trundle bed in the Flag room. It’s a chore, especially with my wrist not having enough strength to achieve certain tasks. Then I washed the other sheets – one to pass along (I’m not a fan of microfiber) and one to keep for the other beds.
First set of matching sheets for the trundle beds.
I took a few minutes to cut back the mini black eyed Susans growing in the gardens – there were 3 places. Got those bagged and up to the road with the trash. Then I ironed the sewn rice bags and filled them with rice, and stitched them shut. I have 8 for camp and 2 for here. The sunflower one is for the Crooks room, since it matches the theme in there.

I have been putting off making potato soup all week – so today was the day. Just finished it, and will let it cool and have a big bowl after I finish posting this.

Took my time getting moving this morning – read a few chapters in my book, got breakfast, then started cleaning. That’s basically most of my day until mid-afternoon. Dom came after work and cut the grass. It looks perfect. The cooler nights are helping.
Bottom yard looks especially nice.
Side yard
I got a mum for my purple flower pot chair – it’s not blooming yet but it will be dark purple when it does. The petunias were scraggly and dying.
Once I looked at my bedroom, I decided I like my new ‘dresser’ too much than to keep it in the closet. So I moved a few things around. I like it better at least for now.
Much better arrangement if not a bit crowded.
Closet works better.
The marbles and little pouches for the Flax festival were delivered. They will be perfect! The kids can decorate the pouches and we’ll give them a few marbles to put in it. This is in conjunction with a new book (one of two) that we created for next year’s festival. That’s why I made the apron that I posted the other day.
The pen is there for size comparison.
Still needs flowers on it.
I got a little round platform for my lantern in the living room – so it doesn’t sit on the floor. Gives a whole different look and reflection for the lights.
Also put some pretzels in a little fall container to keep upstairs to have with cheese when I need a snack.

I had a meeting this morning at Hanna’s Town for the fall tea. We had a nice turnout with lots of input. However, my suggestion were not interesting, although I knew they wouldn’t be! But we did get a lot done. We were there almost 2 hours. I left and went straight to work, where I did title work for my cousin’s friend, then worked on Pinnacle deals. We had another quirky deal but I should be able to finish that up on Thursday. Rege and I got caught up on our holiday weekends. I stopped at Walmart to grab a Snoopy wall calendar for 2027 – I heard they were out and they go super fast! Also broke my sunglasses and got a new pair. That was a good move because there were not a lot left in the style I prefer.
Hanna’s Town
And when I looked outside at breakfast this morning I noticed I had lilacs blooming in my trees! White ones! Those trees are driving me crazy….
Trees are all but dead – but they’ve got flowers!
Autmn stopped yesterday and shared the pictures of her afternoon at the Renaissance Festival. It was kids’ weekend and Cameron had a ball. He loved meeting the mermaid, and having a dragon painted on his face! He’s just growing up so fast! They both looked adorable!
Cameron’s dragon!
Meeting the mermaid – feeling kinda shy!
Dressed for the occasion.
Beautiful mother and son!

As promised, here is a quick recap from our Skunk Hollow Swim Party at Colleen’s. I’m so glad we got to do that! We were all 10 there at least for a little while, and Kath and I did stay late into the afternoon. We stopped to say hello to Uncle Clifford and Aunt Joan – they had corn for us to share with our families. Such as blessing they are in so many ways!
Holly, Gwen, Connie, Kathy, Beth, Karen V, Gail, Karen O, Colleen – Colleen’s husband Larry at the sink; I was taking pictures.
We had a lot of food – Colleen had different drinks, hot dogs and buns. The rest of us brought side dishes, snacks, desserts, and goodies. We basically ate all afternoon except when we were in the pool. Not everyone went swimming but everyone had a great time talking and relaxing. Beth’s Harold bought r/w/b star headbands for all of us to wear and we all did! It was very festive. Connie is getting married this month, Karen V is dealing with Lyme disease (I can identify!), and Colleen is going to be a grandmother again twice! Kath shared about her trip to TX in October, Gwen’s granddaughter is starting pre-school (age 3!), Beth has a granddaughter in a nursing program at college and a grandson in basic military training. Holly is enjoying a little grandson who likes to have sleepovers, and Karen O and Gail shared just little bits of what was happening. I can always talk about Cameron! I also read my VALLEY FORGE essay that was in the Loyalhanna Review.
Lots of food!

Colleen’s granddaughter Alea brought her earring display collection over and most of us bought something. She’s very talented and she’s been doing this for several years. Appears to be very successful!

Beth suggested that we plan a trip to the Dillweed for fall rather than a bonfire and we all agreed. So hopefully that will be early November! The day was perfect and being with cousins is always the best place to be!

On this day in History:1565 First permanent European settlement in the US is founded in St. Augustine, Florida
Well, yesterday pretty much finished up vacation – except for the 6 hour drive home. We reviewed every detail, the good and the bad (which weren’t really bad) and the easy and the hard (which were, in fact, a little hard to adjust to!).
Williamsburg to Greensburg
I had a good co-pilot – who had to follow the directions we printed to drive DOWN to Williamsburg backwards, so she gets an A-plus. We made it home in good time and avoided the predicted rain – it never did show up. I dropped Kathy off at her place then came home myself. It took me all evening to unload the car, sort out all the suitcases, coolers, packages, and put the house back on ‘live in’ mode, rather than ‘abandoned’ mode! Got laundry done and sorted out receipts and instruction documents and was in bed by 9:30pm. Saturday the 29th was our Skunk Hollow Swim Party at Colleen’s so I’ll post that tomorrow.
Home!
Now – the past week since I’ve been home! I already posted the little segment and photos of Autmn and Cameron stopping after church a week ago Sunday. Worked on Monday and got everyone caught up, including Mike P. Grabbed a few necessary items from Walmart. Tuesday I spent most of the day cleaning, as Kelly and Chase were coming up on Wednesday morning. Updated all my calendars to September and balanced my checkbook. Dom moved for me and I weed whacked…..
work!
After lunch on Wednesday Kelly and I popped over to Gabe’s – Chase says it’s not a visit to Grammy’s if we don’t go to Gabe’s at least once. We had Giannelli’s pizza for supper and went through all the Flax supplies in the shed – then made a list of what we still need.
I asked Kelly to get the little wooden block for me at Hobby Lobby – cute, huh?
Kelly had a boat-load of boxes full of shirts for Camp Christian, so Thursday we met Greg Voss (director) at Sam’s Club so he had them for Labor Day Weekend’s Family Camp. We also took Kathy’s shirts over to her for the Ladies Retreat Weekend – the ‘deanettes’ always get matching shirts. Kelly and I spent time planning and booking our October Gettysburg trip. We had a nasty triple storm about 6pm – just when we planned on starting supper! So we made do with cold foods that were in the house. Power came back on around 2am.
Storm clouds
More clouds
My new Williamsburg Lantern came in handy when the power went out!
Friday the sky was clear and the temps were cooler. Kelly and I drove over to the Thrift Shop in Export. It’s very big and has a ton of stuff! (Yes, Kathy, lots of clothes on the second floor!) Stopped again at Aldi and I got a little dresser to put in my closet – she helped me by putting it together. I really love it! Matt sent Kelly a picture of Ransom (supposed to be Logan’s dog but probably is more Kelly’s dog!) watching out the window for her to come home. She got home about 6pm and that was one happy dog!

Where is my Mommy? Why isn’t she HERE???
Chase decided to stay until Sunday, and we drove over to get Domino’s pizza for him. The ovens broke down and it took well over an hour to finally get the pizza. But he had it for 2 days’ meals. I worked outside on Saturday and he played online video games with his friends. After lunch on Sunday I took him down to Sheetz to meet his Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Greg and they took him the rest of the way home. I washed the windows and worked on the Word Garden posts.
Today I lazed around doing little in-house chores until about 11am, then ran errands. I got corn and tomatoes from Palmer’s and had some corn for lunch. Also got potatoes at Walmart to make potato soup later. It was super busy at Walmart, and I asked a friend who works there what was going on – I guess 3 other local Walmarts were closed with no electricity so I guess everyone was at ours. I was glad to get home. Finished the laundry and that will be it – now other than tomorrow’s SHWF swim party post I am up to date! I’m sure I posted snippets of all this on other posts but here we are – done!
Karen gave me this mushroom – she forget to bring it in the spring!
Connie found this antique doll for me and knew I would love it – I had the perfect chair for her!

Chase and I went to Sunday School and church – he was the only person in his class. We don’t have high school kids and the college kids went back already! The sermon was great – about the examples that King David gave us – not what you’d expect! We came home and I made him Quesadillas. We loaded up his game system and met Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Greg at Sheetz in New Stanton. I grabbed a frozen Coke on the way home!
I had been neglecting my reading this past week – so I kind of took a little time to read a few chapters. I also washed the windows, which is my normal Labor Day laboring! Autmn just stopped to pic up a few things here – Cameron is staying with Noah’s parents for the night. Hope to see him next week!
Back to vacation – day 4 – Thursday. Since we were up early, after breakfast we went out to the mini golf course and played 18 holes. I am certainly NOT an avid golfer and do NOT practice; seldom play at all. But I got three holes in one! So at least I had something to my name!
Kathy at the course
My first hole in one.

We had been checking the app for the daily schedules for the Historic Area – and Basset Hall was open Thursday! We hadn’t been there in probably 20 years as it was closed. So it was super fun to tour it, especially with a docent and not just a walk through. This is the house that Abby and John D. Rockefeller Jr lived in when they stayed in Williamsburg during and after the restoration – they loved it there, and were very hands on with the work being done. And we found a butterfly in the garden.

Added on to several times.

After that we went strait to the Capitol building, since we were told they too were giving building tours with a docent. That was fun as well! So many amazing things happened there in the original building – history was made for sure!

By then it was time for lunch so we had a sandwich and cookie at the Raleigh Bakery – since we were very close by. We walked around to some of the other buildings, and made our way to the art museum auditorium. Thomas Jefferson was explaining some of his philosophies. He’s intelligent and humorous and talented. We have always loved seeing him. He and Martha Washington are my two favorite interpreters in Williamsburg.
And he’s Cute!

Armistead House – the only privately owned building on DoG street, if I remember correctly!

Ludwell Paradise House – first house purchased by John D Rockefeller Jr and Rev. W. A. R. Goodwin for the restoration.
We realized that we were very close to the windmill, farmer, and the gardener – so we walked over there. We were amazed at how tall the corn was, and how fat and round the ears were. There were several plants in the garden area that I didn’t even know what they were but they were unique and beautiful!
Windmill
Tall corn!
Fat corn
Cypress Vine
Ricinus – VERY poisonous! Even to touch!
Two years ago the Foundation acquired the Bray School (for enslaved children) and totally restored it. The interpreter in there had great information, and since it was new (to us) and freshly opened we really enjoyed it.

We had our picture taken after supper at the Merry Mushroom with our Kelly-made Williamsburg shirts in front of their Pizza sign! It seemed appropriate!

After supper and a little more shopping we went to our evening program. No photos of that – not permitted. It was a trial of a patriot who was found guilty of treason – under the supposition that the British won the war and the Colonists lost! Very intriguing.

OK – here we are at Saturday. I changed and washed bed sheets, and will still have ironing to do later. Chase finished his pizza for lunch and I had the last slice of Wednesday’s Giannilli’s one. My first chore this morning was to make a small apron from a piece of flax material that Mom gave me when I first published the Fields of Blue book. Kelly is going to get flowers imprinted on the front (I’m sending it home with Chase tomorrow). That took a while – because the material was very old and I didn’t want to waste it or make a mess. I think it turned out nice, although it’s not totally done.
I balanced my bank statement – first time, no errors – which was a relief. I have been taking my time and paying closer attention to my entries…. Then I went outside for an hour and pulled weeds and cut back dead stalks. As fall creeps up there will be more of that to do. Something DID bite me on the arm – and now it’s itchy.
This is all cut back
Cleaned up
Itchy!
OK – now back to day 3 of Williamsburg – Wednesday. We went down to the lobby/breakfast room with the chickens and had a nice breakfast.
Chicken watching us eat!
Chicken overhead – and lots of room to eat breakfast.
Our friend JoAnn Peterson was doing a presentation on the Unsinkable Molly Brown at a nearby senior living community and was able to get our name on the list. I learned a lot about Margaret Brown, including that she didn’t like to be called Molly, and actually never was! And she was very civic minded and used her talents and finances to help her community and her neighbors – in addition to surviving the Titanic! Very good portrayal. And we even made her Facebook page!
Margaret Brown –

We got back to the motel about noon and grabbed a snackish lunch – then walked around town visiting the trade shops and speaking with people of character in the Historic area. At 2pm went went to the Art Museum auditorium to see George Mason – and it was very interesting! He was very much a family man!

We made it to Christiana Campbell’s Tavern for our supper reservation. Kathy had fried chicken and I had fish. It was OK – but we decided we needed a break from traditional 18th century meals! Bring on the pizza!
The tavern is the white building with the 4 upstairs windows.

We walked back down to Merchant’s Square (traditional shopping) – and enjoyed taking in the ambiance of the Colonial houses, quaint buildings, and shaded benches. This trip, that was my favorite part!

We got back to the room with plenty of time to swim – and since it was still 80-plus degrees the water felt good in the evening air. It was, in fact, a great day!

On this day in History:
My Aunt Gail graduated in 1957, the first graduating class of the new school.
We have had a few busy days – running errands, going through our supply of items for the Stahlstown Flax Festival which is September 19th and 20th. We had shopping to do, and meals to cook, a trip to plan – Kelly and I are going back to Gettysburg in October. But anyway – yesterday evening the storms got really bad, and super intense — in fact Greensburg and Hempfield Township both declared a state of disaster. Our power was out yesterday from a little after 6pm until in the middle of the night. That wasn’t too bad, but we were just starting supper and you can’t cook without a functioning kitchen! We had cold pizza and went to bed!
Today we planned on going to the craft festival at the Westmoreland Fairgrounds – but it was wet and muddy and drizzling so we went to a thrift retail shop in Export. It was fun to look around and they had SO MUCH STUFF! I got a little picture frame and a tiny purple bowl. Chase decided to stay until Sunday so we are ready to run over to get a pizza at Domino’s for his supper and tomorrow’s lunch. So – I’m taking a quick break…..
Well, here we are an hour and a half later. Domino’s had their oven quit working and had to have it repaired before they could bake the pizza! So we were sitting in the parking lot from 8:04pm until 9:10pm and that doesn’t count drive time. But Chase is eating his pizza happily and I am going to jump off here and find my own slice! I’ll post tomorrow — God bless…
I apologize for doing this – but the vacation recap is going to be delayed until Friday afternoon! Kelly and Chase are here, and we have a LOT to do, things to accomplish, plans to make, etc. Thanks for understanding – catch you Friday. God Bless…
TODAY is the 5th anniversary of Mom’s passing. Miss you, Mom!
Here it is – the first ‘ber’ month! And it’s 85 plus degrees! I was outside for about half an hour after Dom mowed and I came in sweating. Not sure how he manages to make it though the whole yard in this heat. But he headed home to cut his own grass.
Grass – Good job, Dom!
I cleaned the whole house today and washed a load of towels, then did a few small repair chores. I was just finishing when Dom came to mow. I still have a few small things to do if I don’t run out of steam – like, I need to switch the wooden Snoopy calendar to September, and that takes some time.
Still on August
So – back to day two of vacation. Tuesday morning we had breakfast at the resort – I had a cinnamon coffee cake which was delicious. I wish I had noticed who makes them (they were packaged!). Then Kath and I walked down to the Visitor Center (just a few steps away) and had to wait 10 minutes until it opened. We sat by the waterfall and watched the butterflies and listened to the sound of the water.

Starting the day out fun!
Bring it on!
Butterfly.
We did a little shopping and took our packages back to the room.After that we watched the Story of a Patriot before heading to the historic area. Love that movie!
We took the shuttle down and walked the streets for about 45 minutes, then went over to the Art Museum auditorium. Martha Washington was speaking – she’s very educated and informed, and also very funny.
Tidewater = swamp!
We popped into a few trade sites and then grabbed a bite of lunch. Our first stop was the Raleigh Tavern where we learned about the meetings the Burgesses held there when they were ‘dissolved’ by the governor, and people who stopped for food or drink, and balls or parties that took place.
The ‘bar’ at the Raleigh.
Apollo Room
I think this is the Daphne Room
Looking out to the Bakery – we ate lunch there twice (grab and go)
We enjoyed walking around the streets and taking pictures of houses. The sky – all three days – was an absolutely beautiful blue with white puffy clouds. It was a delight to be outside – although it was very warm – upper 80’s. We took our time. Which is a first for us!
Capitol
Market Square Tavern
Courthouse
Compton Oak – about 90 years old.
The Peyton Randolph House was open for tours, and the guide was very informed. We were able to walk through the whole house and get the stories of the enslaved people who worked there, as well as the family, friends, and relatives who visited.
Peyton Randolph House is stunning.

Again, we just walked around town and popped into buildings and talked to people who were milling about. We went back to the room and had a light meal before heading down for our evening program.

Tuesday night’s program was Haunted Williamsburg, and we went into the Geddy House, the Wythe House and the Randolph House. Heard ghost stories at each one – Two of them we had heard before! When we came out, the moon was full and bright!
Ghost stories on the stiars
Just a little spooky
Almost full moon – bright and round above the trees!
We sat over by the Magazine to wait for the shuttle, and the house across the street was lovely in the evening light. Back to the Motel – and time for bed.
Waiting for the shuttle – lovely and peaceful.

So today I went to work and got caught up – then helped Mike P with a few deals. Stopped at the bank to finish up vacation spending then came home and had a farm tomato and toast for lunch. I had a pretty long list of things to do. Still a few to finish up. Hoping to do a small amount of cleaning tomorrow before Kelly and Chase come on Wednesday. I just looked out the door and there was a big ground hog just sitting by the fence!
But now it’s time to begin a recap of vacation – I’ll start with Monday – the first day! I picked Kathy up at 8am and we set off with a car full of everything we could imagine we’d need. We made a few stops – one for gas and lunch, and a few bathroom stops, including one at GATEWAY in Breezewood. We pulled into the Woodlands Hotel and Suites a little after 3:30pm and checked in, then got settled in the room. It was nice and cozy and had a pretty view from our first floor window. The whole place is tucked into the middle of trees and bushes.
Apparently it’s always noon (or midnight) at Gateway!
SO excited!!!
Welcome!

We were down on Duke of Gloucester Street (historic area) by 4pm! I was so excited to be walking the streets, taking in the houses, seeing the colonial people and just the ambience of the whole place! An hour wasn’t enough. But we took some time to shop at Merchant Square, then walked around until we found a place for supper – The Mellow Mushroom. We split a pizza that was very good and just the perfect size for us.
We’re here!

Our first official event was at 7:30 at the Capitol building – Cry Witch! It was a trial of a woman accused of being a witch and casting spells. Kathy and I were two of 11 who were on the Governor’s Council. Once the witnesses testified and the defendant gave her defense the entire audience voted – guilty of witchcraft or not. So each program could have a different outcome. We declared her not guilty! It was a nice performance. Once that finished we caught the shuttle back to the Woodlands – the bus stop was directly behind the Capitol building, which was nice since it was later, and dark, and we had been on the go all day. We wrote out post cards and were ready for bed!
