Zavalla Eagles Homecoming Accessories

Mom and I got together last Friday to whip up some earrings for us to wear to the Zavalla Eagles Homecoming game. We don't have much practice so we ended up working a couple of hours trying to design and make earrings that would match our school colors. We got a little carried away and ended up making a few extra sets to give out to our many friends at the game. It was a fun way to get into the school spirit! We ran out of some of the supplies, so I had to finish them after the game. Mom must have enjoyed the craft because she ended up making herself several different pair with different colors for wearing elsewhere. I have to be careful around her, once she gets started, she leaves me behind in the dust! However, I got her this time, I made her help me clean up the mess and it was a big one. Later that night at the game.... we had the most "styling" earrings there! I think we would have won the spirit stick if there was one! Hey mom, do you know how to make pom poms? I think we should make us some of those for next season!

New Aprons for Homecoming Week

Carlene's Cafe is the Poland Family's second go-to place for good home cooking. (The first being mom's of course). And last week was the Zavalla Eagles' Homecoming, so I made new aprons for our friends there. They are always so nice to us when we come in there after church on Sunday and my family wants to order off the menu instead of eating off the buffet, like regular people. They don't complain or even make faces, at least where we can see them. I had to get over my hard feelings that my husband and child like Carlene's cooking better than mine, but that took about 1/2 of a minute! Hey, I like it better too!! Plus, they know my favorite drink and have it ready for me almost as soon as I sit down, at my regular table that I sit at every week.

I always just eat the buffet because I know the cook has been in there slaving all morning. To order off the menu is almost like cooking a big huge meal for your family and someone asking if they can just have scrambled eggs or a peanut butter sandwich, know what I mean. And, expect you to fix it!!!

And never, never, never, do they listen to your order and ask you, "Is that on your diet"? Yep, that's right, I might even have to go there this afternoon for a snack before church. You know how it's fun to go where everyone knows your name and they're always glad you came.... hey, that sounds familiar...

Cheers for now,
