"Mrs....Mrs. Jones"

I just added a new song to our playlist. I try and pick songs that mean something to us as a family. They may make no sense to any readers, but to us they bring back memories or funny times. Sophia's Kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Jones this year. Everytime she talks about school and says the word "Mrs Jones", dad breaks out in song..."Mrs....Mrs. Jones..ooo ooo". So I though I'd better add it to the play list.

Apples of my eye

After searching for a new u-pick apple orchard, we finally found one to replace our New York tradition. What better place than to travel to the fruit capitol of Washington - Yakima! After looking online for a place to go, we found that due to the late frost of last Spring, many places were lacking in crops and didn't have u-pick. But, we found one Thompson Farm in Naches where we got to sip cider, eat fresh donuts, watch pumpkins and apples fly out of cannons, pick apples, and find the BIG family pumpkin! Oh, and don't forget the chickens we chatted with. (Audrey was longing for poultry conversation, missing her buddies we gave away in PA) We spent 3 days camping. Our kind of camping isn't really "camping"...I don't think RVing with warm beds, and flat screen TV really quite counts. The farm had many old cars and tractors to sit on. Here is Becky in her new car and Audrey riding shotgun. Pumpkin Cannon...Mr. Thompson threatened to point it at us!

Where there's a horse (any horse), there's Celeste.

This is a wobbly suspension bridge we came across on our hike. Who were the biggest scaredycats?...Dad and Sophia! The rest of us did our darndest to rock the bridge when they were passing over! Tim got to scout out some possible hunting grounds and learned from the locals more about Washington's "rules and regulations". All in all...a fun weekend...something we'll keep doing every year!

A mother who knows...

Jar for Christmas, originally uploaded by bbaitystudio.

A few days ago I received a package in the mail. Inside was the book, "The Chrismas Jars", by Jason Wright, with a note that said,
" I love you."
Love, Your Mom
I realized that not only do I have a fan that reads my blog, but that I have a mother who knows! I had an earlier post about "The Wednesday Letters" by the same author. I mentioned that I hadn't read his earlier book. A few days later, I get this package.
I realize all of the Worth family knows how great our mom is...but I felt that the world should know it too! I love you too, Mom.
