Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms who do so much for their family!
Yesterday, Mom wanted to go to a few antique stores. We usually don't come home with anything but after asking Dad, I was allowed to get this book for only 4 dollars.
It is called "Practical Cookery and The Etiquette and Service of the Table". From reading the inside cover, I found out that it was given to someone for Christmas in 1923.
Between some of the pages there were recipes from old newspapers and magazines, and a few recipes written out.
One of the pages in the book explains how to use your coal stove....
and what temperature (roughly) to cook your cakes.
Later, Jasmine got a clover necklace.
As Sweet Pea the parakeet enjoys the nice weather, Henry and Milo become curious. Sweet Pea didn't seem to mind though.
Ashlyn eats strawberries at Grandma's.
Milo watches Dad fix a flat tire on the hay trailer.
Ashlyn is quite fond of catching lightening bugs.
Henry and I sit on the hay in the cool of evening.
And...two little pigs. They are girls and will one day have piglets!
I don't have a picture of the other girl, but they are almost identical.

Jane Austen's Emma was on these past few weekends and Ashlyn loved the clothes and hair. She decided to dress up ,as she does nearly everyday, as Emma Woodhouse. (I helped a bit) She was exited to go to a ball...
but the dress was "choking" her.
Time for tea and cream (as she calls yogurt "It makes it much more fancier" she says.)
A time to relax and write letters.
Ashlyn (4) had fun drawing this picture of Grandma (right), Dad (center) and Mom (left).
