Happy Halloween

Hope you have a Safe, Fun

Trick or Treating time

My littel ghosts, gobblins, monsters, and princesses

will be out in full force.

But I think Grandma will stay home

and get the hot chocolate and cookies ready for them

when they are done. . . . I am not sure what the little sweethearts are going to be

They have changed several time.
I will be sure to have pictures of them after
Saturday night

We will celebrate Halloween on Saturday this year

since the 31st fall on Sunday.

We like to keep Sunday reserved for

worshiping our Savior and Lord.

Saturday night the witches will be out

So

Be safe and have fun

And especially be nice.

It is a fun time for the youngsters

to dress-up and get lots of treats

After this celebration

We will start preparing for the next one

THANKSGIVING

and then you know what follows that?

But in the mean time

Happy Halloween

I have so much to be thankful for in my life. . .

The blessings just keep coming.

It Is Fall and I Love It!

I see the beauties of Fall

all around. .

I can even see Fall in

the color of the blue sky

I see it in the trees

The flowers

I fields of pumpkins

And all that is being harvested

I feel it in the air and I hear it!

Ya, I hear it.

At Football games!

My favorite sport of all

Bring it on

FootballAnd I love it!

It is my favorite time of year

I even see Fall in my home decor. . . .
I like to decorate for the Fall season
This is just a sampling of the things I have sitting
in little vignettes.


My door will WELCOME you as you
enter my
Fall colored home

Mmmmm! I love this time of year
I wish it could stay this way
But, I have to admit I do like the changing of
The Seasons

My Pickering Family

The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend

is traditionally my

Pickering Family Reunion

We started it over 45 years ago

We are all so close in our relationships

that we wanted something to keep us together and

in each others lives.

If you are wondering how I am a

Pickering

Well, my Grandma is a

Great -Aunt Colleen

I love my Great-Aunt Colleen

My Mother is her niece!

They were the same age!

She and my Mom were very close

They were best friends.

It was hard for my Aunt Colleen

to lose my Mom.

She and I have been very close.

I guess I just kind of filled in for my Mom.

She is a very creative woman.

And has taught me a lot.

I'm glad I carry some of the same creative genes that she does.

(funny how families are like that)

I am thankful Pickering is part of my heritage!

Family Lions

This little Lion is one of my very FAVORITES!

This Lion is just about as cute as they come in the Lion Kingdom!

She appears to be fearce and scary, but never fear.

She is as gentle as a lamb. . . .

Now you say

Why have you put a Lion at the first of your blog?

Well, I am happy to tell you. . . .The Lion has become my personal mascot.

You see

I really like Lions.

I come from a long line of Lions. .. . .

My Daddy is a Lion

His name is LEO,

now if that isn't a Lion I don't know who is. .

And you won't believe it

but I gave birth to a Lion.

Yes sir ree

His name is Blake LEO

I say that is a Lion also.

And to top it off

my high school mascot is a

LION!

One of my all time favorite Disney movie is

of course,

Lion King!

Yep, I love LIONS

Right now I am trying to find a BIG LION PICTURE

I have in mind what I want.

I just can't find the right one.

It will represent my

Strong, Wise Lions!
