Quilt Donations

The Friends of the Marathon Public Library is having a quilt donation drawing. The quilt is queen size, jalapeno fabric, and was made by Carol. Carol received a 3rd place ribbon, in tied quilts at the quilt show this year in Marathon. Carol has been making these types of quilts since she was 9 years old.

The tickets (donation) are $5.00 each or 3 for $12.00. The money goes into MPL Friends group. We are trying to raise funds to have a covered porch for our summer reading program at MPL. If you wish to purchase tickets contact Carol at the library at 432-386-4136.

Marathon Public Library is a branch of Alpine Public Library. We are a small library in West Texas with wonderful community support. Please help us with our fund raiser and you could be the winner of a beautiful jalapeno quilt.

Birthday




Hi everyone. Sky will be 16 on the 19th of September. Time really goes by fast. We went to the ranch to pick-up his things and celebrated a little with Cinda. Sky's new friend Kaila went with us. Sky thinks that is how she spells her name but we will find out.

We also celebrated at church with a cake for his birthday. We took the rest to Cinda and Teryn's to share with them.

Sky will miss the ranch and hopes to visit soon. We will miss going down there to visit too. It is a beautiful place and Cinda and Teryn are wonderful friends.

We also took a picture of the donkey Mijo and the horses name is Jasmine. Sky will really miss them too.

Happy Birthday Sky, we all love and care about you.

Rose Bush

Roses are beautiful.
Thanks Sande for the beautiful gladiolas. They brightened my day.





Ace is on the run looking for the cottontail!




















Our rose bush in the yard. I received this when I was in the hospital a few years ago. It blooms most of the time and the flowers are great. Our other plants are fruit trees and they did not do well this year. Enough apples to make 1 pie and just a couple of peaches from the peach tree.











Beautiful sunsets



Found a small cottontail wondering around. Maybe looking for our Bunny Ace?



Beautiful Sunsets out our backyard.


I took a few pictures around the yard last night as the sun was setting. Thought I would share with everyone.



Hope you all enjoy the pictures. We are all fine and busy working and Sky is busy with school and playing guitar.
Have a great Day.

Upcoming Events

Sky will be 16 on the 19th of this month. Hard to believe time goes by so quickly. Marathon is having a Westfest on Sept, 22, 2007. It has a cabrito cook-off, desert contest and many things for the children to do, and a dance. We usually have a lot of fun at it.

Not sure what we will do for the birthday yet but trying to see what Sky would like to do. No recent pictures lately. Have not been out with the camera.

Homeschooling is going great. The library has slowed down because all the students returned to school. Sky has been working a little part time job with Mark and Shirley and has been doing great. They really appreciate the help they are getting and Sky likes making a little money too.

All is well in the homestead and hope all is well for our family and friends.
Have a great day.
Carol
