Forgot to blog about Ashley's Topsy Turvy tomato plant.  Papaw had the right idea way back, when he put tomato plants in buckets.  We'll see how well this actually does. Was going to do a bucket too,but really don't have many places to hang them. No big old trees around here. Bill says the deer and rabbits will probably get these tomatos,due to them hanging so low to the ground. The swing set is the highest thing we have. Sad huh? At least we don't have to rake much in the fall.

Me feeling like a million bucks after working all day on the garden and getting a shower. Did not look or smell so pretty before shower.

We had a big day today. I voluntered to go on the third grade field trip, to the Vernon Historical Society Musuem. It was really fascinating, looking at all the cool old stuff there. Did not see any ghosts, which have supposedly been sighted there quite frequently. Ashley was able to weave on a loom. I thought it was really cool that they let the kids actually take part in weaving a rug. We also visited a Blacksmith. The kids just thought he was so cool. He made three things for the class and at one point asked the class a question and Ashley answered him correctly,so she was able to go up and bend a piece of steel. She was on cloud nine. Of course I forgot to bring my camera for these awesome expierences.

After our field trip,we had an award program to go to.  It was called the B.U.G program. Bring Up Grades. More then just grades are involved in choosing a kid. One kid per class. Ashley improved her Math grade from a B to an A.  She also is an excellent student,who takes school seriously.She was recognized and will get a plaque when she gets her awards at the end of school. She is very proud and honored to have been chosen.

She got all dolled up for the occasion.

Getting called up to be recognized and getting this lovely T-shirt.
