SueAnna D'Arbonne in the COUNTRY.

NOTE: I made the veggies and tray and the lattice topped peach pie that had actual slices of (pretend) peaches.

off on a COUNTRY ADVENTURE

I am so excited, i am going to visit my Grandmother and Aunt in Mississippi. They have so many interesting things for me to do.

I arrived early Saturday, so I was able to go to the COUNTRY AUCTION in town. My Grandmother wanted another quilting frame, but there wasn't one this time. I was warned that sometimes Bleuettes were auction and sold, so i had to wear a name tag saying i was NOT4SALEand my Grandmothers name. I bought a teaset, its all Magnolias because Mississippi is called the Magnolia State. My COUNTRY CHECKERED pink and brown dress was made by my Aunt Bella, and my Grandmother made my hat to match.I am such a lucky girl

Visitors Sunday

Just one more picture of that yummy S'mores!!

There were so many people today, everywhere, doing all kinda fun things. There was a lot of food, but i still am a hamburger girl, especially cooked on the grill. Although the mac and cheese sure looked good..i dont like celery.

In crafts i made a paper frog, oh my goodness you should have heard all the moans and groans and paper rattling. It is OrreyGamie. I know how to make a hat and a drinking cup too

My egg was perfect!

I LOVE 'MORES!! that drippy hershey chocolate and squishy toasty marshmallow is soooo good.

It was so cool this morning, when I built the fire it felt good. I fried an egg and ate a banana and squeezed some orange juice.. that was hard though, i kept getting a cramp in my hand.

Boat Maintenance

I am an LSU TIGER FAN!!! we painted my boat in LSU colors and then Mrs Judipatootie added a ferocious Tiger.. his name is MIKE, he weighs 465 lbs, has a 2 million dollar compound all his own and a private trainer,caretaker.He is a beautiful tiger

Goodness it was heavy, one of the Scouts from the other camp offered to help me get it back to the lake. We got the giggles and almost dropped it.

oops, I don't know how to erase this photo..it jumped out of place

My Boat Maintenance Badge is completed. I sanded it first, sealed it , then painted it purple and lightly sanded it again and sealed it,. The stripe and registration numbers , name and LSU Tiger were added to the back
There aren't any barnacles yet, but I will check for them.

SueAnna working on Hiking badge and others

Look ! the sky is falling, ..just kidding, but it was getting cloudy

This pond under the swamp willows is covered in green algae, i DIDN'T get in it at all. There were some frogs and a long legged bird.I think its called a regret?

This is definitely FLORA the berries looked good,. but I know not to eat something unless I am positive its safe .

I think that lump was a baby alligator..but it might possibly be a log.

These rocks were nice to sit on, they were in the sun and they were warm.There were lots of bugs rustling in the leaves.

I hiked almost two miles , there is a path marked through the woods. I had my compass and water bottle. I put on some mosquito pellants before I left. they really bite . I wondered if there could be buried treasure, but figured since it was a marked trail .. well, I think I know a place to look but I am NOT saying so here Treasures are secrets and this writing is not secret,

My boat maintenance is done, the painting is finished, I am waiting for someone to help me get it back to the lake.
