Re: The pumpkin patch

[Guest guest]

Dear Janie,

What a wonderful memory for you and your children. Your daughter

was able to see you for exactly who you are - an angel in her life.

She is not making any judgements based upon what you are wearing or

the current state of your laundry or your home. She can see through

all that superficiality to who you are and what is in your heart.

She and your son will have a wonderful memory of the fun of going to

the pumpkin patch. You have given your children something precious

that was denied to you.

Here is to many more loving memories for your family,

Sylvia

Janie How sweet the funny things kids say make me laugh and bring

little tears to my eyes. You really blessed her heart! and it sounds

like your husband got a funny little blessing also! You have some

good creative bones. We didn't get to go yesterday we sent looking

for fertilizer and found out there was like 50 kinds so we decided

to research it more and went shopping instead I needed more levis

but it was fun! I am going to try and make it to the pumpkin patch

some time today after church, Our day is pretty full already we are

going to toys r us Mc 's and a football party I want to ditch

the foot ball party and go w/ my grandma and kids to the pumpkin

patch today, it sounds like so much fun. Putting the kids in

costumes what a great idea even if the laundry is done! I will pack

them along. Thanks for the great tip. Love, Lizzy

That's just too cute! I hope you guys had fun at the pumkin patch.

We're trying to plan an outing here soon too for the pumkin patch.

Never been to one before and kind of looking forward to it:) How was

your visit?

Kerrie,

Oh, it was fun. There's usually other things to do, too. (Lizzy

described the one near her in a recent post--that one sounds really

good.) But they're all different. We always save getting the actual

pumpkins till the end! Hope you and your family have a good time.
