Sherlock Holmes

We have had a sneaky fox lurking around our chicken house.  We are missing a few hen.  So the other night after the rain, Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick, Penelope, tracked a fox in the pasture.  Hopefully the sly little devil will show his face in the daylight and Sherlock Holmes will become Elmer Fud and "Get the wittle devil."

Fire Safety Week

For Fire Safety Week, my first graders made hand print firemen. 

 

Do you know the 3 most important Fire Safety rules?

 

1.  Have a meeting place.

2,  Have 2 ways out.

3.  Check your smoke alarms.

 

 

Happy Anniversary

Thirteen years ago today, I became Mrs. Lough, a name I hear at least 80 times a day!  I believe it was about 78 degrees that day, the leaves behind the church were a golden yellow.  I thought I might shake the flowers right out of my bouquet, I was a little nervous before going down the aisle.  My bracelet got caught on Vicki Piper's dress after the ceremony while we were dismissing the guests.  Mom made my dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, the cake, and most of the food... what a superstar!  

 

 I married my best friend... Happy Anniversary BL!

Omaha

We recently visited Omaha... a little flea market, a little Christmas shopping, a BIG rodeo, unlucky gambling, first-time fun piano bar, good times, great friends, inspirations for new projects, and an awesome weekend get-a-way!
