You see, just last week I was reading your blog just enjoying myself, then my computer started to act up and I lost your page. I was so upset. I tried my best to remember your blogs name and just couldn't remember it for nothing. I was trying high and low to figure out who I had visited that led me to you. Couldn't remember that either. I thank God that you found me! <br /><br />I was enjoying reading about your giveaway too. The one with the Cuisnart Ice Cream maker. I was so excited because I got one for Mother's Day and I am now a huge fan of this little ice cream maker. I was trying to read your comments on peoples opinions about this little machine. <br /><br />Besides that, How could anyone not fall in LOVE with your blog. It is absolutely beautiful and I must become a follower. Looking forward to trying your recipes.<br /><br />By the way, I love these lanterns! Beautiful! I wish I cold sit with you and enjoy the view from your back porch too! I use to catch them in jars as a child too. I miss those fun Summer evenings. I'm now in the city and I never see them. Sad! That's why I want to buy a farm in the country to bring back all those fun memories. Thanks for sharing these tips. I'm going to have to make these. <br /><br />Thanks again for your comment and sorry so long. It's nice to meet you too! Have a lovely evening! :)<br /><br />God bless,<br />Charmainecharmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040651529773044643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-63630639182736736362010-07-20T22:21:38.851-04:002010-07-20T22:21:38.851-04:00Hi!

A couple of weeks ago, she caught like a dozen of them and had them in a jar. She told me that she caught them for me. Later that night laying in bed I kept seeing little lights. She had put the jar of them in my room and they had used one of the holes as an escape hatch!

My children gather their jars with holes in the lids and we have so much fun catching them! Of course, we let them go just before bedtime, so "they can be with their families." Often, I have the children research the things we are doing or different things we find. Last summer, we learned that the lightening bug is actually in the beetle family! I have family coming to town from Memphis next week and we will be making your granola, as well as, displaying these little laterns! Thank you! (My son is named 'Mason' for his great grandmother, Anna Mason...on a side note!)
