We entered them in the largest vegetable contest. I'm sure no one's pumpkin can beat ours. We could barely load it into the back of the truck. A worker from the fair helped DH load it onto a drivable cart. They will judge them later this morning. Too bad the fair is closed today. It did give us two more fair tickets. DH is going to give them to some friends that might not be able to afford them. He's a sweetie, that way.</div><div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

Every three months I have to give the Presidency lesson on the first Sunday of the month. Since it was the day before the 4th of July, I decided to talk about something I know a little about, WWII. I film the lessons each week and post them on YouTube for those that don't get a chance to see them.<br />
<br />
This is a pic of my Dad. They must have decided to take pics on the spur of the moment, because he's only wearing his jacket over his civies. <br />
<br />
My guess is the photo is from 1945-46. It's not marked. This would make Dad 24 or 25-years-old. My lesson is in 3 parts, below.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it.<br />

It's 1/1/11! DH is off working, so I thought I would start my new blog. I have been short on inspiration in my work. So in an effort to rekindle the muse so to speak, I am doing this blog. I will try to post pix of everyday life that inspire me in one way or another. Today's pix are from a local market. I guess you would call it an ethnic market, as they carry lots of things you don't normally see at Von's.<br />
<br />
I saw orange blossom water and rose water. What do you use it for? Or how about pomegranate or grape molasses.<br />
