The Sinking Spring

The family of Abraham Lincoln drew water from this spring located in Hodgenville Kentucky near the cabin where he was born.

Solitary steps
Amid his own thoughts and prayers
As life surges past

How to Have a Tinkerbell Party!

Image
What can be nicer than having a Tinkerbell birthday party when you are turning TWO! The first thing is to dress up just like Tinkerbell herself! Have your party in Neverland   You will want it outdoors where there is a shadowy lagoon with a volcano, a hot springs and a bridge to fight off pirates or walk the plank!  Beyond the lagoon.... a ticking alligator lurks.  Also, at a Tinkerbell birthday party, one must serve her guests a beautiful Tinkerbell Cookie Cake! Every little girl believes in fairies and who better to grace her  special two year old birthday cake but charming Tinkerbell nestled in a flower!

I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...
