Coming soon!

Hi Ya Yas!
It's a unusually chilly day, and I'm listening to the rain, as I write. I think we're going to make up for all the rain we didn't get all Summer! It rained all day yesterday, and they're forecasting more for the whole week.
I love an all day rain! It's so peaceful and relaxing. Wish I could crawl back into bed

Please say a collective prayer, that the rain Stops by Saturday.....I'm having a yard sale, and I don't want all my work to be in vain!

I'm sorry I missed the family camping weekend, Michael arranged at Kelly's Island a couple of weeks ago....I had to work. But I will be there next time!

I've been busy in my art room, making new collages, and designing our "Flyer" for this year's Mothers & Daughters (YA YA) day.

COMING SOON!

OCTOBER..... As it draws near, I'm getting more excited!

I'm looking forward to the Colors of Autumn, the cooler weather (hopefully!)

making a big pot of Navy Bean soup... mmmmm..... my favorite Chilly day food

and.. of course.. YA YA! OCTOBER 13TH, 2007

This year, the "Elders"... aka: Rita, Susan, Debbie and I... have decided to team up. Rita and Susan will be on Breakfast detail, while Debbie and I will be doing Dinner. In an attempt to cut back on all the mass quantities of food we end up with! We will still request everyone bring something, but it will fall in the catagories of deserts, snacks and beverages...... more details in the flyer.

COOK BOOK VOLUME 3

Yes, it's true! Rita has managed to create another marvelous cookbook!

I can't wait to see it! New family recipes, and more photos! YAYA!!!

DUST OFF YOUR HATS!

As you probably already know, this year's YA YA, will be at the Cottage in Madison, Ohio again. And like last time, it's a sleep over. So start making yourself a check list of the things you'll need to bring. (DON'T FORGET YOUR YA YA HATS!)....Also for those who are staying over ( and I hope you all do.. ) please plan on bringing $22 per adult, if you haven't already paid.

If you're planning on a project for us to do, please bring enough supplies for everyone, or let us know if you'd like us to bring something for the project.

....ALSO.... PLEASE BRING PHOTOGRAPHS!!!

Rosemary, if you would be so kind as to bring the prints of Odile & of Jerome again!...I don't know what happened to them last year, I suspect it may have accidentally ended up in Jeanette's scrapbook ?

We would relish any old photos you might have to share with us. Especially of your mom, and Aunt Cora, or photos of all of you, or my sisters and I as little girls? What ever you might have to share would be great. I will bring our family albums to share too.

Everyone should bring some old or new photos!!!

Ok.. that's all for now.

Take good care of yourselves, and we'll see each other soon!

Bless you!

love,

MaryEllen... Daughter, Sister, Mom, Aunt, Cousin.. and friend.
