Branson and Another Gift Card Giveaway

Hey neighbors!

As you can obviously tell, we have been absent lately from At the Fence!  My daughters went to a Gospel Music Sing and then my husband and I took off on a trip to Branson, MO.  We have had a really great time, but it is time to get back to posting.  We actually don't head home until tomorrow, but I thought I would share a little here and get us off to a great start with a giveaway for a $5 Chick-fil-a card!

We stayed in a really nice hotel in Branson, the Clarion!  We have a nice room with a small balcony where we can go out and enjoy the day!  We are on the 6th floor, so we have a nice view.  The hotel has a restaurant next door that serves a buffet breakfast for all hotel guests.  If you follow me on Facebook, you know that our first morning we had breakfast by candlelight, because the power went out next door.  It was interesting!


We have been doing a lot of browsing antique shops.  They are several in town and a few more just north of Branson.  We actually have made a few purchases, but most of the fun comes in being together and searching the shops.  Some of them are more craft and flea market type shops, but several are actually antiques.  I am diligently searching for Betsy McCall dolls.  My husband on the other hand likes to find old books and odd antiques.




We have of course eaten out a few times, which I will share in later posts, and a few times we have purchased meals and brought them back to the room to enjoy.  I did get Cold Stone once!  I don't do that often being diabetic, but since it was our anniversary and I shared with my husband, I chose to enjoy it.



So, since we have been missing for a few days, I decided to have a giveaway with a $5 Chick-fil-a gift card.

Go ahead and enter!

I like scrapbooking but don't seem to have much time for it anymore. I do collect magnets too from the places/states that we visit.

I collect toy guts from all of the ripped apart dog toys. I swear I'm going to do something with it some day. Make one giant toy, maybe. :-)

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
