Thursday evening

It's a nice rainy night... I'm still reeling from the choices I've made to put the girls in Christian School and take the 5 and 6 graders and start two choirs....

I miss my son and granddaughter..

Tomorrow I go eat dinner with my parents.

Life continues...

Monday in the Mountains

Today was another wonderful day the Lord created. So beautiful.
As our daughters pack for the Youth Conference, it occured to me that in 5 years they both could very well be gone from the nest. Wow...5 years. That's not very long. We must redeem the time...

I was reminded by reading of the faithfulness of God on my friend's Blog of the verse in 1 Kings 8 that says "there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promied by the hand of Moses his servants." vs. 56b. Now there's something to rejoice about!

Saturday at the "Ranch"

Today I had cantelope and a cinnamon bagel and coffee...thanks Ron! It was awesome... wow, now I have some laundry, cooking for today and Sunday... and then planning the week for the kids to go to the conference at Hammond...and Music camp! Not much time for blogging..
I did call my Mom today, but she wasn't home. I got a call from Billings MT last night... Who knows who THAT was?

God is so good to us... a beautiful place to live, a wonderful family, food on our table, shoes on our feet... So much to thank Him for!

Picture of the Harvest

Blackberries!

We had so much fun picking berries the other day... I did get stung from a wasp...but once you've been stung by a Georgia Bald Faced Hornet (notice the respect I have for them by the Caps :o) )...a wasp is nothing!

Anyway.,. here's a picture of our harvest... they are so sweet and delicious! It was a wonderful time spending time with the family. We are truly blessed.

About the Woods

Yesterday I went on an adventure! I went walking and wound up in the creek. It was so cool and refreshing. I had headed out to the pond and found the path impassable as someone is further clear cutting our beloved forest. So I turned around and headed back up the path... The creek continued calling so I couldn't resist ... I slid down the bank on my bottom and made my way into the water fall....ahhh it was great. I had to find my way up a steep steep hill back to the dirt road... wow up and up and up I had to go.... the quiet was so incredible at the top of the mountain...

Today the whole family walked to the black berry patch and we must have gotten at least a quart! Tomorrow I'm going to try and get a picture to post on this blog...

We are blessed!

Sunday afternoon musings

Sunday afternoon in the mountains. Nothing better 'cept heaven we reckon. Trying to figure out how I am going to be able to keep eating all this Southern cookin' and not die.

It's 87 degrees out there and 74 in here. I know it would be such a wonderful thing to get outside and mosey down to Nimblewill Creek for awhile.
I did this thing that tells me how many days I've lived, and how many more I have till I'm 70 and it's like 7 thousand something left... woah... better get busy and figure out what God has me here to do.... Amazing that I've already lived 70thousand something and feel like I've not done anything close to it.

Better get busy...

Today is such a peaceful day in the mountains. My girls are at church paint scenery for VBS and I am alone in the presence of the LORD. He has been so good to us.

Welcome!
