CBS Friends

I've been involved in a local Community Bible Study (CBS) for a couple of years now. Jeff started coming with me last year. This group of people has been such a blessing in our lives. We also enjoy getting to study God's word with a group of brothers and sisters in Christ. The CBS class we are involved in is one of the few couple's classes, which is really nice for us because we can go together to the church. When our CBS group started many years ago, they started a really fun tradition. The church that the class was held in had an activity once a year on Thursday, so the group met in homes that one week. Ever since (eventhough we're not at that same church) we have met in a home of someone in our group. We each bring something to eat and share in a wonderful meal together. I think this is my favorite meeting of the year because you get to know the women in your group much more. This year my group met at our house! I am so blessed to have a space big enough to fellowship with all of these wonderful ladies! We had a great time together eating, talking, and finishing the book of Job.

Here's the wonderful spread of food:
All of the food was delicious (especially the deserts! YUM!)!

These wonderful ladies have been such a blessing in my life!

Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:   I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red. Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut: I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters: Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached: This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down: And viola! The words are finished! To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids. After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!

Paddling through Brunswick Stew

Last weekend was quite an exciting one for Jeff and me. Ashley and Neil came up Friday and stayed at our house that night. We love having friends come over, especially when we don't get to see them very often! The next morning we headed up to the Hester family farm that's in Virginia. The Hester clan was having a get-together because a family friend was teaching how to make Brunswick Stew. Now, when I think of Brunswick Stew I immediately think of Smithfield's. Probably because that's the only place I've actually eaten some...yes-I'm not a southerner. When we arrived at the house I was a little surprised to see this: Brunswick Stew cooking outside in a 5 gallon pot that was being stirred by Uncle Mac with a boat paddle. Ok-it's not really a boat paddle, but it sure resembles one! This was the true southern way to make Brunswick Stew, I was told by the other man in the picture (Mr. George). Mr. George also told me that he had a 30 gallon pot to make ...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
