Getting Ready for School

It's that time again.  School begins for teachers in Alex City one week from today.  That means we use our last few summer vaca days to get the rooms ready and plans made.  Kennedy is going with me today to help get the computer lab in order.  I will miss her next year as she helped me each morning by setting up the laptops.  The walls at school were painted.  We now have yellow, green and blue with red stripes down the halls.  Here is Lisa in my hall.  Bright?  You need the full effect of both walls as you escape walk.  The yellow...  a teacher drove up to the school and thought it was on fire.  Quite different from my gray and maroon [school colors] computer lab.  Everyone has a reaction!  Must get the brain ready as well as the room.  Summer has been good.  I'm thankful for that time each year.

Sophie's Christening Gown

FINISHED!  Sophie's christening gown is ready for Sunday.  Lindsay wanted to use her wedding gown  to make the dress for Sophie's special day.  I couldn't let anyone else do that so I took the wedding dress and began by staring at it.  Once I figured out what I wanted to do the next step was to cut up the wedding dress.  SCARY!  I have a matching bonnet and bloomers, too.  Thanks, Lindsay for trusting me.  Sophie, Gigi was honored to make your christening gown.  I can't wait to see you in it.

I'm First, Tag You're It!

I have made a family blog. This will be a bulletin board we can use to communicate with each other. We can quickly add a post and/or a photo. Whether you are in Decatur, Alex City, Mobile, Foley, Florence or Fairhope you can find out what is going on with the family. Why "Families Are Like Fudge"? They are mostly sweet with a few nuts - and you know who you are! I will play with this for a few days in my spare time - LOL - and let you know how you can post. Translation: We just want lots of grand baby pictures and movies.
