On the week-end, we stopped off to visit with Munchomom, Machoman, and the Munchkins. We made it in time to attend church where Machoman is minister.
There was a silent auction to raise funds for an individual mission trip to Africa. The items in the auction were decorated gourds, or gourd-type creations.

The theme followed the story of Jonah and the Whale. This whale was done by a teenager, and her mother carved the tiny pumpkin inside to represent Jonah. I bid on this one and was able to bring it with me. The picture was taken at Munchomom's house, and that is where I left it so it can be enjoyed by them.:-) I was most impressed by the carving of the tiny pumpkin!
The next post will focus on some "time to smell the roses.":-)
Thank you for reading. i really appreciate your comments.
The whale is so cute! It was nice of you to leave it for Munchomom and her family.

I wish I had been there to participate.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I tore out that coupon from Mayfields and took it to Kroger where I went for some other things. Mayfield's was not too far off $4.00 fir the half gallon. Kriger brand was like $1.99 so I laid the Mayfield's coupon up there in the rack for someone else to use.
KROGER...good grief!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend some time with your kids/grands... I always enjoy doing that --but it doesn't happen too often these days.
