Information Friday

 

October is marching on, isn't it? Wow! Only eight more days left in this month! Wow! The leaves here are coming on and I think late next week we may get to peak color! We are taking my parents leaf peeping this weekend and we are all looking forward to it!

This information from DataRepublican on X is important. She made a video but I can't upload it here. If you have an X account go follow her and watch or go to my Instagram @deannarabe and watch it in my stories!

She came to the US with a family who claimed she was their daughter, but she was not. Her father stayed in England. Therefore regardless of whether the man who she claimed was her father every became a citizen, she could not be given citizenship as a minor through him because he was not her legal father! She therefore cannot serve in our congress. She is illegally in our country.

Mental illness? This woman is an attorney, highly educated.

Autumn Dream Come True

 

On Monday night I was to host co-op moms for a campfire and hay ride. When I realized there would only be six of us, I decided to make my creamy chicken and wild rice soup, heat up a crusty loaf of French bread, and an English apple pie. 

I also knew this was my chance to make a long term dream come true - to eat under the lights on the tree in the autumn. Tim helped me set it all up. 

We went on a hayride first, then came back to eat under the lights in the dark. Warm soup and bread, some blankets on laps, and really good conversation kept us warm. Some of the ladies also had brought treats so we ate dessert and then went to sit by the campfire!

It was so much fun, and my heart is happy. They all had a wonderful time and felt special! Mission accomplished!

Here are a few photos with more light if you want to see the details.

I used my plain white bowls, and placed them on top of my Friendly Village (Johnson Brothers) dinner plates. We used my green linen tablecloth, silverplate (Rogers) knifes, soup spoons, and dessert forks, red goblets, and a polish pottery pitcher for water. Silverplate candelabra and candlesticks with my battery candles. I was going to use real candles, until Tim mentioned that they flame might catch my dried hydrangea on fire!

Tim was our hayride driver, and brought the food out for us! I couldn't have done it without him!

Dream come true!

Weekend

 

We had a lovely weekend. 

Friday evening we had a cold front move in and it's been chilly. Just right for mid to late October.

Saturday was spent preparing for our family's annual Fall Fest, which was on Sunday. We've been hosting it for about 20 years. 

I was delighted yesterday by the many young marrieds with babies, who grew up coming to this fall fest and now are bringing spouses and children! It's awesome.

We had a beautiful day Sunday and while the shade was chilly if you were in sunshine it was perfect! Coats went on when the sun set.

My daughter in law made her famous chili, we provided hot dogs to cook over the fire, buns, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. One of our daughters and sons in law brought 4 gallons of apple cider and a smoke pork butt ! There were veggie trays, cookies - people bring something to share.

Tim gave his famous hay rides, we got to hang with lots of friends. It was a wonderful time.

We had great help cleaning up and most everyone was gone by 9:00pm. 

These are some of our favorite memories of good times with friends, and I hope we are able to host it for many years to come!

The maple trees are starting to turn and they are going to be gorgeous this year!

I'm very concerned about Republican voter turn out in the mid terms. The administration has made a lot of headway in cleaning out voter rolls, trying to keep late ballots from being counted, etc. The left has fought hard against these things, and there has been a lot of interference from foreign backed sources to divide conservatives. 

So many excellent things are happening but the focus and push about gas prices has caused many to not see anything but that! Please vote and vote for Republicans. The left are now communists.

This made me laugh!

Did you see this? You don't hate the msm enough!

This was picked up by many outlets and they all ran with the story also. It would have been easy enough to check this before publishing, but all they were interested in was stirring up negativity.

In happier news - 

This would be amazing!

I'll leave you with this  - 

Incredible!
