Casey is driving......OMG. Are we getting old or what?! Just make sure he knows it's NOT ok to take the road by the golf course and try to jump the hole. LOL. Congrats Casey!!

Road collasped near our home.

This is one of the roads we used to get to hiway 200. It comes out by the golf course. The mud slid down onto the golf course. For a little while we had a waterfall. The golf course is flooded again as is the road that we take out of town. We are back to taking the long way around to work and school.

Casey passed his test!

Casey and Kelly went to Bismarck yesterday to have Casey take his permit test.  I am happy to announce he passed.  You should see his picture,  he has the biggest smile.  CONGRATULATIONS CASEY!

Megan has been making purses also. She made one for Alicia for her birthday. This is Megan's. She is able to put her DS in it and also puts the games in the credit card holders on the inside. Very easy and fun for her to do.

Last but not least here is a bag I made for a graduation gift. It is suppose to hold a laptop. I hope the person likes it.

This is a large bag and I made it for Megan's end of the year Teacher's gift. I saw it in a magazine and loved the black & white. So I ordered two kits not looking at the size of the bag. It is pretty big. I hope she can use it. I have not made the other one yet as I don't know what I would do with it. I just have to sew on a button on the flap and this is done.

Here are a couple more pictures of purses I have made recently. The green one is Barb's and the other is Janel's.

Ladies with a Purse-n-ality!

Our church is having a fundraiser on May 6th. It is called "Ladies with a Purse-n-ality". This is the second year they have done this. I was not able to attend last year but heard it was alot of fun. The event consist of dinner, entertainment, doorprizes and auctioning of purses filled with different themes. The ladies of the church donate money to purchase the purses and things to fill them. It is opened to everyone in the communities. The cost is $10 to attend. This year I decided that I would make a purse for the event. Here is a picture of the purse. The girls at the bank all were trying to get me to make another one and sell them this one.
