Jacob's Car Pictures

Last summer, my grandson, Jacob and I got to see lots of cool cars. This blue one is a Mustang that was at the car show for Lehigh, Iowa's 125th Celebration on Father's Day weekend in June.

The next weekend Jacob came to visit us in Henderson and these cars were in the parade for Henderson Sauerkraut Days.


Jacob really likes Mustangs.

Jacob is here visiting again and we have had lots fun together this weekend. We went shopping, bought some toy cars, Christmas presents, wrapped lots of little Christmas presents for Jacob's mom and made Christmas ornaments with Sara. Later I'll post the ornaments that they made so that maybe you can make some, too!!!

There really will be pictures and projects.......

Really, there will! It's just that "real life" took precedence. All things come to those who wait so soon the wait will be over and there will be fun stuff to read, to see, and to do!

Memories of childhood

I have great memories of my childhood. It's those memories that inspire me in my quilting and craft projects, in the designs I draw and the stories I'll share. I recently discovered "the world of blogging" and thought it would be fun to set up a blog to share with my grandson. We are going to post pictures of the projects we do together and I will also tell you of things I did with my kids when they were young and what my mother did with my brother, sister and me when we were kids.
This week, Jacob, my grandson, is on vacation. He and his mom and dad are at a campground not far from home that provides a nice place to relax and yet doesn't cost much to get there (less than an hour from their home). While he is vacationing, I am going to get a "head start" on our blog and then next week, he will have something fun to look at when he returns from vacation.
I will post some pictures of our projects and, I'll also tell you why he calls me Grandma Skeeter.
