A Good Book To Read.....

Can't Wait to Get to Heaven....By: Fannie Flagg ...Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited old woman inspire a town to ponder the age-old question. Why are we here? As this comedy-mystery unfolds, those near and dear to Elner each discover something wonderful, and so will you.... A story as sweet and refreshing as iced tea on a summer day, with a little extra kick thrown in.

Flowers and Boat Motor

This is a flower bed at my back porch. Nevermind the boatmotor and the lawn mower wheel. Someone ask me the other day what the yellow flower is called. I couldn't think of the name and I told them it was Dylantin. That is a medicine!!! I thought of it later....It is Lantana. Oh Well....A Senior Moment!

Veggies and Toes.....

I picked these from my garden this morning. My tomatoes have done exceptionally well. I placed the bowl in the floor to make the picture.......Nevermind the TOES!!!!

Five Generations!

This is on my husbands side of the family. His Mother in front, her daughter in the blue..(Bill's sister), then her daughter kathy, then kathy's daughter and her two children. Five Generations!!

Our 50th Anniversary Party.

Here we are. It looks as if the baloons are coming out of our head....The celebration was very nice. My daughter put together with Power Point....pictures of our life together. They consisted of pictures from the time we were born ...up to now. She tried to get a picture in there of all the places we had ever been. Last year I visited three place I had never been to before. That was New York, Nags Head, and The Keys in Florida. Everyone seemed to really enjoy veiwing the pictures. My husband doesn't look very happy in this picture, but he enjoyed it as much as me.

Cooling off!!!!!

LUCAS.....

Staying COOL!!!!!!

This is Ryan and Lucas after picking apples yesterday. It was 92 degrees and is going to be the same today. I kinda will be glad to see snow!!!!

Broken Apple Tree....

My Wolf River Apple Tree broke due to the weight of the apples. I have "The Boys " here with me this week and we spent all morning picking the apples. They are not near as big as they shoud be, but they are still huge. I have given apples to everyone today. Next to the apple tree you can see the edge of my cucumber patch. I have made three gallons of cold pack pickles already. Busy time....but a wonderful time!!!!!

My Footprint in the Sand.....

I haven't made many pictures since I came from the beach. I wanted to post something today and I came across this picture. When I look at it, I can just feel the cool, cool water washing upon my feet, and hear the sound of the mighty waves. Don't laugh.....maybe tomorrow, I will find another picture to post.....

Guess what I did today?????

I picked blackberries at my daughter Lisa's house. She took me into her back fields on the four wheeler, and I have never seen so many berries. We picked a gallon in no time. I came home and put them in the freezer for cobblers this winter. Yummy!!!!!

My Treasure.....

Gee, I look just like my Mother in this picture....God rest her soul. I can see her now picking blackberries......That is probably the reason I like to pick them....it reminds me of her!!!

The bride and groom

This is the bride and groom saying their vows.

Bride on tybee Island

We saw a wedding on the beach at Tybee Island. It was so pretty. Everyone on the beach came....just like they were invited..... and everyone was making their picture.

Sea Food at The Crab Shack~~~~

If you like seafood....doesn't this make your mouth water? This is just one of the trays we ate from at The Crab Shack.

Eating at The Crab Shack

This is me and my DH, Bill. We are eating at The Crab Shack. That was the neatest place. You eat outside and the atmosphere was great. Of course we ate sea food, and I wiah you could see what a table full of food we had in front of us. It was yummy. I would drive there again just for the food!

Beach Bums Return Home!!!!

Hello Everyone, We returned home last night from Tybee Island, GA. It was a wonderful week. My DH did great after being under treatment for thirty five days. As soon as time permits, I will post some pictures.

A Bridge in Summer....

This bridge is at the spring where we get our drinking water. It is a lovely place to go and the water is almost 99% pure. The picture is of Lucas and his friend.

Lisa's extended family for the week-end....

Lisa had two extra children at her house this week-end. She took them to the store and several people told her what a beautiful family she had. They DO look like siblings. The girl is Anna from Mexico and the baby is Lisa's first cousin once removed. His name is Damien. His Dad is from Mexico, but he isn't related to Anna. Anna was a former student in my daughter's class. She loves to come to the farm.

Is this a Chicken or a Turkey?

My daughter sent me this picture. She made it in her chicken house. Looks like a good roosting spot to me. I don't know if the chicken thinks he is a turkey or the turkey thinks he is a chicken.

A New Baby Donkey....

This is what happened at my daughter's farm last night. It was just born in this picture. If you look, you can still see the sac. The mama donkey is a good mother. I think this is her second baby since Lisa has owned her.
