~It's FALL...Y'all!~

PLEASE PRAY FOR TRAVELING MERCIES FOR OUR Dear Director Mark Becker and his wife.  
They have been in Peru visiting our dear fellow G.H.M. missionaries, the Flings, 
and now 
the BECKERS ARE FLYING HERE TONIGHT!!   :-) :-) :-)
Years ago when Bro. Becker and Pastor. Eisenhart came to visit us in Colombia, Elijah and Noah had just made up the word "AWES..." short for AWESOME!!!
They said this word ALL! THE! TIME!
Pastor and Bro. Becker started calling Elijah, "Awes!"
So now, Elijah calls Pastor, "Pastor Awes!" and Bro. Becker "Awes!"  :-) ~
~Here's Elijah's CHALKBOARD Version of "Bro. and Sis. Becker"  or who Elijah calls "Awes!"

 ~And this is Mary's version of "Bro. and Sis. Becker!"~

Last night I was running up the stairs, 
and my house shoe slipped of the stair ....
making me FALL and SLAM my head against the wooden hand rail. :-(
I INSTANTLY got a huge egg (KNOT)  near my temple!!! 
My "Doctor-Sweetheart" took me straight to the couch with an ice pack for my head! 
I'm pretty sore today, 
But I THANK THE LORD that I didn't split my head open or knock my teeth out or something!  
#maybeIneedtoslowdown. :-)

It's FALL, Y'all!!
WELL, Ummmm, IT'S NOT REALLY FALL!
You see it just turned SPRING here in Argentina,
but since ALL MY LIFE I have celebrated FALL in October, (and since it's still been chilly and rainy here), 
AND SINCE I L.O.V.E. FALL...
I decided, THAT DID IT...
I'm GOING TO DECORATE FOR FALL!!  :-) 
So, here are some pictures of my Fall Decor. 

THIS IS DECORATING FOR FALL ON A DIME! :-)
 (In other words, just using what you have! :-)
(Since all of my FALL decor is in the U.S.A., I'm THANKING THE LORD for chalkboards, burlap, and T.P. pumpkins! :-)

~FALL DECOR ARGENTINA 2015!~
~I'm so glad that Sarah has her rain boots here, for they are so fun to use to decorate!~

 ~My chalkboard made out of an old wooden tennis racket frame and a white T.P. pumpkin.~

 ~This is above the cabinet in the dinning room near our kitchen.~

~In the back room / sun room here is a desk (where I normally have my food buffet set up.)
Sarah has adopted this desk as hers!
The other day Abigail JOINED her!
#homeschoolershavejammiedays!
#littlesiblingsstudywithyou!  :-) ~

 ~And then when she left, Abigail climbed up ON HER DESK... and grabbed a pen to "HELP HER GET LOTS SCHOOLWORK DONE"!!! ;-) ~

 ~I decided to do a little "Fall cheering up" of the back sun room.

Phillip made me some hooks to hang my tulle and my Chinese lights.~

 ~A fun wooden Argentine box with coffee candy in it.~

 ~An old wooden box...~

 ~Some jars with Lentils and tea lites in them....~

 ~Some books, and one of my little chalkboards with a leaf on it...~

 ~A cute little chalkboard saying, "Fall" hung on one of the jars.~

 ~And here it is at night.~

 ~On the one side of the dinning room.~

 ~One of the kids brought this little pod in from outside and it reminded me of cotton.~

 When Looking for Thanksgiving chalkboard ideas to write on my green chalkboard, I found this saying and thought it was so good.

~SOMEONE ELSE IS PRAYING FOR THE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED!!~

 ~Mary's school pic with some real apples in a clear vase.~

 ~I love to put apples in a vase.~

 ~A "little" touch of Fall in the Kitchen!~

 ~And here is my buffet in our dinning room.~

~In the dinning room above the buffet, I made and hung a burlap banner.~

 ~On some, I added a TOUCH of lace, with some scrap lace I had on hands.

  ~I had Fun putting Fall sayings on my white chalkboard!~

 ~And just as I was WANTING some material to make a T.P. pumpkin, one of my children came in with an old sweat shirt of hers and said that it was really stretched out!
I said, "GREAT!!!  I'll make a pumpkin out of her!" :-) ~

 ~And then I added our "D"~

In a store, the other day I saw a CUTE little frame with a chalkboard in it.

It got me to thinking that I could go to the wood shop near us and have them make me some CHALKBOARD FOR MY LITTLE WHITE FRAMES!!
I did!
I paid a WHOPING 50 cents for ALL 5 of my tiny chalkboards!!!
and I LOVE THEM!
~GIVE T.h.a.n.k.s!!~

 ~2 fun old things Phillip found beside the road the other day!~

 ~A little automotive fuse metal box and a silver spoon.~

 ~A closer up of the tiny chalkboards!~

 ~On the other end of the buffet I have our fun picture that Kara took,
my little can I covered with burlap,
the word "Otoño" ("Fall" in Spanish),
my little tea cup and saucer, and my cute little white birds.~

 ~The Buffet!~

 ~Elijah and Mary put Abigail in Kimberly's dirty clothes basket. :-) ~

I hope you have enjoyed my little Fall tour! 
My simple Fall Decor makes my HEART SMILE!!  :-)
We're really looking forward to having the Beckers with us!
So saying, I must run ad get ready for them to come TONIGHT! :-)
HAPPY FALL!!! 
~HEATHER~
