** 2 mile Ranch is filled with......**

Rogers 2 Mile Ranch-Prescott AZ

filled with family
filled with good food
filled with laughter
filled with antique shopping
filled with perfect weather
filled with a 1940 willy jeep rides
filled with mountains that go on and on
filled with long walks
filled with animals
filled with a good book
filled with lazy days and naps

no phones
no computers
no television
no hurry
no time restraints































-- My favorite place to be--

SMALL & SIMPLE BLESSINGS OF FALL

This little guy, my Linkers-
who is usually full of running, jumping, climbing, and all kinds of energy
helped me spread out a beach towel in the back yard
and we laid down looking up
To see magical clouds, airplanes, and little birdies,
What an awesome quiet moment shared by both.
I ♥ you Linkers!

----- pièce de ré·sis·tance----

Oh my, look what I discovered at the State Fair....
Quilts, Quilts, Quilts-on the walls, ceiling, and hanging from the rafters
Every size, shape and kind every color
I think I was in quilt heaven!
(click on the picture for a close up view)

{ ♥ the inside border on this one..}
This quilter must crochet her flowers first then applique them on the quilt.
This one was crazy- it's called Masquerade-
see the little ladies in their masks-
look further to see the squares....
♥ it ♥ it ♥ it ♥ it
beautiful colors and design
Even an old baby bib had its place in the quilt world! How CUTE!!
This quilt was huge!
The most amazing thing is that each square was different and unique.
No two squares are the same
Go ahead!! - try to find two alike!!
Where are the squares? No squares here!OMG -- perfect point after perfect point after perfect point!
This next quilt didn't show very well.
Not much in color, not much in uniqueness,
but when you get up close, this is totally hand stitched.
Take a look at the white piece and see all those beautiful straight little lines--
all teeny tiney little stitches.
OH MY-this is one your great grandma would have made.
This may look like applique of fabric flowers, until...
you get close enough to see each flower is embroidered!
pièce de ré·sis·tance (pyes de ra-ze-stäns')n. pl.
1. An outstanding accomplishment:

Award winning and most gorgeous thing I've ever seen
Again- no two squares are the same.
a little close up look.
I just stood there for about 20 minutes looking at all the stitching and was amazed.
Such Talent!!
[IDK- Maybe I should give up even before I start]
New hobby- quilt shows.

SENIOR NIGHT

No-- I am not saying anything about ME!
(NO-- Not John either!!)
It's all about the "other" Senior in my house!
I'm talking Sr. Night at MHS Football game.
I ♥ my Sr. High School Boy♥ ! Can a parent be any prouder?
Straight A Student, good morals and standards, strong work ethics,
kind, loving, athletic,
a real Saturday's Warrior!
(dubbed the "golden boy" by others in the family)
I was proud to present him his "candy lei" and walk the sidelines with him.
