4-H Fashion Revue

In Vale, there is a darling old fashion theater with a stage (and no air conditioning); that is where the girls went to model their sewing projects for the Malheur County 4-H Fashion Revue. They were judged on poise, fit of the garment, and the quality of work as seen when the garment is worn. Both Jillian and Erin were awarded blue ribbons! It was a successful night!

The girls were awarded ribbons according to their level--here's pictures of the competition--it's fun to see what other kids created. Our good friend Sundee is in the teal dress next to Erin.

View From the Hill

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
