The end of October~

I've been terribly busy this month. I simply cannot believe that October is over.

Earlier this month my sister and I entered a fiddling contest, and we both won first place! But, I have to tell the whole story...we were 2 out of the 4 people who entered and we were all in a different category. :o) I like those kinds of contests, where everybody wins first!

Two weeks ago I stopped by a book sale and got a lot of old treasures. One of the books I bought is titled "Ettiquete" (published during WWII). The chapter on Flag Etiqutte amazed me, how little people now days really care (or I guess don't care) about our flag. So many men fought for us to be able to have this flag, which stands for so much more.

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN???

You may call it an old piece of bunting,
You may call it an old tattered rag,
But thousands have died for its horor
And shed their best blood for the flag.

You may call it an old piece of bunting,
You may call it an old tattered rag,
But Freedom has made it majestic,
And Time has enobled Our Flag.

Here are some pictures from our recent Old Time English Country Dance.

We also made a CHOCOLATE cake, my favorite.
