Lazy Days of Summer

Just tryin to stay cool playing with the kids in the summer heat.

Woo Hoo !

We had a great time in the mountains! A whole lot of laughing and cutting up was done by all. We stayed at a great log cabin just outside of Murphy, NC. There was a babbling creek which was great to cool off in and explore. Maggie Beth loved the tire swing in the back yard and we all enjoyed visiting the nearby antique shops. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary!

Field of Flowers

How sweet is Sarah Beth in this field of flowers? She got her hair cut last week - a bob with bangs. So the next time you see her here she will have a very different look. She tells me she likes her new hair a lot! Nothing like a new hair do to lift your spirits!

Make a Joyful Noise

Maggie Beth and her Dad singing some of their favorite tunes or otherwise making joyful noises!

Savannah Connection

Recently caught up with John's sister and her boyfriend in Savannah. We enjoyed wondering around Savannah . Had lunch on Rivers St., treats from Savannah Sweets (love those gophers and pralines), refreshments at Wet Willies, YUM! We strolled around the squares and watched several brides take the horse and carriage rides to their weddings

Sleeping Beauties

So sweet and precious these sleeping angels. I know their Daddy will be looking in on them from far far away, sending his love.

Happy 50th Anniversary

John's aunt and uncle recently celebrated there 50Th wedding anniversary. It was held on May 8th which helped with the surprise celebration. Their daughter ask them to meet them at the Tellus Museum for a Mother's day luncheon. Now to add to the surprise they got in touch with John's Mother, his uncles sister, from Ohio to come. Now they had not seen each other in over twenty years. There had been a sibling conflict going that had resolved itself earlier this year.

The look on their faces was priceless when the happy couple walked in! It was all smiles and tears of joy when they all got together!Lori, their daughter did a superb job with all the details.

Tellus Museum was a wonderful place to visit too!. It many exhibits on dinosaurs, rocks, fossils and many modes of transportation. I included a picture of one the earliest motorcycles. Doesn't look much more than a bicycle with a motor strapped on. Thought the boys would get a kick out of this.
