In process--adding pictures now; text later

Double Rainbow!!!  View out our back upstairs windows--beautiful!

We are still enjoying the fruits of our labor from our garden--that was one big turnip in that bowl!  We just dug these up on Sat.  Our carrots, lettuce, etc. are still growing! 

Sat. night at 9pm the swallowtail that made her chrysalis in the paper filter hatched.  The odd thing was this was a dark brown chrysalis; not a green chrysalis.  So much for me figuring out the difference between the brown and green chrysalises!!  Sorry this photo isn't the best; I was going to take another pix of it on Sun., but Dd released it before I got a new photo.

Dh took off Thur. & Fri. so we didn't get as much done as I had thought we would.  Dh taking off was a surprise to me--a happy surprise!  On Sunday, as a final flourish for his last day off--Dh and Dd went to a Colts football game together.  Dh rec'd free tickets in the 'suite' section.  They had free food and drinks.  They could have rec'd a free massage, but they weren't up for that!  (I would have!)  I'll post pix of their Colts vs Browns game in a separate post--we won by the way.  Also, you all might remember we went to see the Indiana Fever (our Woman's Pro Basketball team) play a few weeks ago.  You might like to know they just won the whole championship over the weekend too!!!!  They ROCK!  We will be going to see more games next year.

Piano:
Everyday!  And lots during the day.  She has been composing her own songs and remembers them exactly and can replicate them exactly each day.  I can't believe she can remember exactly how 'her' songs go---but she does.  She also won her $5.00 prize for getting My Country Tis Of Thee and Away In A Manger successfully passed by Giz last week.

Sewing- She has sewed a new purse--for her "Hippie" Halloween costume.  I will post a pix of it soon.  She worked on it for a few days.

Add-Ins:
 Person of Focus: Davy Crockett

A Picture Book of Davy Crockett (Picture Book Biographies) (Picture Book Biography) by David A. Adler, John Wallner and Alexandra Wallner

Davy Crockett (Famous Figures of the American Frontier) by Daniel E. Harmon 

 

 American Frontier: Davy Crockett at the Alamo - Book #4 (Disney's American Frontier, Book 4) by Justine Korman

Robin Hood (Graphic Revolve) by Aaron Shepard, Anne L. Watson and Jennifer Tanner --Dd loves these books are re-reads them periodically.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Graphic Revolve) by Twain, Mark, Strickland and Daniel--Dd loves these books are re-reads them periodically.

Yo, Millard Fillmore! (And All Those Other Presidents You Don't Know) [Paperback] by Will Cleveland/Mark Alvarez  (still reading)  This book is a pretty visual way to learn the order of the American presidents.  It is one of those books you need to re-read a few times to get the whole system down.

The Mystery Off Glen Road (Trixie Belden #5) by Julie Campbell

  (still reading- Summer 2012 Sonlight had a Trixie Belden on their "Summer Reading" list and so I got Dd the book -Book One of this series- and she is still enjoying this series.  She doesn't have as much free time right now to read them as quickly as she was; but she really likes them.  The author wrote them back in the 1940's-1950's.

She reads other stuff too--but this is just to give me an idea of what types of things she was reading this week.  She is always picking up books and flipping through them.  She also gets subscriptions to magazines from relatives that she enjoys that I don't post--like: Ranger Rick, Ask, Nat'l Geo. for Kids, or she checks them out from the library--American Girl Magazine.....
