Our Interesting Evening, er, night, er, Morning...

It all started with Mumzie making some Blueberry scones. After taking a few pictures of her making them, I went to bed. Then, a while later, when I was just getting ready to fall asleep, the smoke alarm in my room went off. I open my door (probably looking like a wild woman who had a bad hair day) to find...

..Daddy trying to quiet the smoke alarm (the smoke alarm is direct-wired into the electrical system and we didn't know which breaker it was on to shut it off)...

..And Mumzie taking care of a fire in the oven!

An interesting site indeed

The reason of all the problems. Too much butter. Can you see it?

Cleaning out the oven and putting together the next batch (we are waiting to bake them until we go to bed and wake up :D)

Daddy looking at both of my sister's blogs while we wait for the oven to cool down

Waiting to get put in the freezer

Clean, clean, clean...

..And clean some more!



When I wasn't taking pictures, I was putting the scones on a better cooking sheet. Please take note of the date and time! :D

Random Picture of the Week

My two dear (and I might add, cute :)) sisters quite a few years ago.

It is amazing to look back and see how the Lord has worked in our lives and how very different things are from when this picture was taken. May it remind us every day to seek the Lord's help to "[T]each us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom"! (Psalm 90:12)

Weekend Away

Daddy, Mumzie and I spent a weekend away with Uncle David and Aunt Amy!

This is the house where my Grandpa grew up. Believe me, it did not look this way while Grandpa and his parents lived there! Such a pity.

After driving around a bit, we headed to one of my absolutely favorite places...

The Antique Mall!!

We thought this chair was so cute!

Daddy perusing through some old pictures

A beautiful chandelier

Now what would be a trip to the antique store without trying on a hat or two? :)

This is some jewelry that reminded me of my Great-Grandma

Typewriter Art

Hm. This looks familiar. Does it remind anyone else of Cranford? Buttermilk seems to come to mind... :)

Art :)

It was more difficult trying to get a hat picture without Katie there :)

An old washing machine

An old refrigerator. Can you imagine having a freezer that small?

Heading back down the rickety stair case

Daddy did not know Uncle David was outside... :)

Daddy laughing once he realized that Uncle David was in the picture, too :)

Downtown

Daddy and I with our drinks...wait a minute...my cup is bigger than Daddy's. How did that happen? I guess I needed four shots of espresso and Daddy just needed one... :)
