Need A Favor???

Hello from Applejack Lane!  This morning the UPS man brought a package for our family reunion that is being held next weekend.  I promised to bring the favors.  So I ordered party favor wrappers from Shindigz.com. This company has lots of designs so that you can personalize any occasion.  The wrappers were fun to create, and the ordering was simple.

The labels came on a sheet...
A close-up...
Peel off and wrap around a Hershey miniature...
And eat away...

I would definitely use this company again.

A Shark Attack!

It was such an exciting afternoon for us at  Applejack Lane!  We witnessed a SHARK ATTACK!
  Come on in to Stuart's Shark den...
Stuart dressed in his Shark t-shirt for the occasion.... 
There were Sharks everywhere...

 And monkeys too in a bed of Sharks...



Stuart is a Lego architect....


This Shark says it's time to open presents...
Stuart dons 3-D glasses to read his new Shark book...
And this budding architect has 750 new house plans to ponder...
How clever Stuart's mother is to construct a fruit Shark...
This Shark even eats Swedish Fish...
Move over Betty Crocker!  Stuart's mom can even bake a tasty Shark cake...
Time to say good bye to these Shark-y revelers...


Happy Birthday Stuart!!!

Toodles and Smokey

Hello from Applejack Lane!  A few months ago, a kitten came to live on my son's doorstep.  After several days of lingering on the front porch, Dave took the kitten in, and she became a permanent fixture along with his other cat and two dogs.  Just hours before he was to go to Orlando on a business trip, lo and behold, the kitten delivered a kitten.  His laundry room became a make-shift nursery away from the other three animals.   Our daughter was preparing to move to a new house with her two dogs so we decided to take in the new family-Smokey and Toodles.

Out with the old...
And in with the new...

Smokey is slowly adjusting to her new surroundings.  This has been a stressful time for her-being a new mother and moving to a new environment.  She is so elusive.  It is hard to get a picture of her...

Toodles, on the other hand, doesn't remember her old laundry room-nursery.  She is pure entertainment...


All tuckered out...


 Until next time...
