Red Roses
Once a year, usually in October my boss, gives all of us a dozen roses. This year was no exception.
Serving at the Ronald McDonald House
Monday, Sept 29th our small group Bible study served supper for the guests at the Ronald McDonald House. Here is some of our group!
Deb & I
Deb and I went to the Metrodome and watched the Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 6-0 on Sunday. Don't we look like true Twins fans?
Nathan and Eva at Oxbow Park
I took the day off from work on Friday, Sept. 26th and Nate and the girls and I went to Oxbow Park which is a little park north of my place here. Oxbow Park has a few animals whch the girls enjoyed. The weather was gorgeous which made the day even better!
Ashleigh at Oxbow Park
Even though Ashleigh wasn't wearing a "pony tail" the day at Oxbow Park, she still had to check out a different "pony tail"

Garrett, Haley & Natalie
I made these blankets for Cheryl's children. Garrett is six, Haley is four and Natalie will be two in December. Cheryl said the kids were all laying on the living room floor with their blankets and had to take a picture for me. I'm going to Portland for Thanksgiving so I'm sure you'll be seeing more pictures of them!

My mother-in-law, LaVonne, gave me this recipe years ago. In fact it is still in my recipe box in her handwriting on a piece of notebook paper. If I would re-write it and put it on a recipe card, I probably wouldn't know what I was looking for so I just leave it the way it is. I make these bars for church quite often and anyone who likes peanut butter really likes these bars. If you have a craving for peanut butter, try these! Enjoy!
