Elinor won FIRST PLACE for her Construction Man pumpkin. It was a fitting idea because her school is under major construction, and her dad had all the gear. Troy and Elinor created the pumpkin together. Congratulations, Elinor!

War Eagle Craft Fair
The third Thursday of every October is the opening day of the War Eagle Craft Fair -and about ten other craft fairs- here in Northwest Arkansas! I love to go. It's in a beautiful setting and there's lots to see. This year, I bought this Halloween garland. It's so cute and my fellow shoppers Lori and Peggy insisted that I had to have it. Thanks girls!
Melissa
Melissa is having a great time at BYU. It's kind of weird being in a ward where most people have never met her, so I thought I would share a picture or two. She is taking the prerequisites required to apply for a Communications major. She is also working toward a minor in Spanish. She has great roommates and is enjoying her calling as an FHE mom.
Art for SALE
Elinor is trying to collect money for a "really beautiful pink crystal" that she saw at Hobby Lobby. I say "collect" because she takes whatever money she finds. I encouraged her the get her money the old-fashioned way--by earning it. So, she drew these two pictures and set the price at fifty cents apiece. How could I resist? I bought them both. I think she learned her savvy business skills from her friends Amelia and Eliza.
Cat Lovers Beware
A few Sundays ago, Troy was wrestling with Thunder, and Thunder got a good bite in on Troy's arm. Troy didn't think anything of it until it started to SWELL UP and get really hot. By Monday morning, there were red streaks up Troy's arm. I insisted that he go to the doctor, and guess what the diagnosis was...CAT SCRATCH DISEASE! Who knew?
