Road Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know if I will be able to access the blog on vacation, but we'll be in Anderson, SC 'til July 6th or so. If you're in the neighborhood, give us a call --we'll go tubing! (We're near Greenville). We'll miss you and happy 4th!

Father's Day

My Dad

When I was just a tiny kid,

Do you remember when,

The time you kissed my bruises,

Or cleaned by soiled chin?

You scrambled for the balls I hit,

(Short-winded more than not,)

Yet, every time we'd play a game,

You praised the "outs" I caught.

It seems like only yesterday,

You wiped away my tears,

And late at night I called your name,

To chase away my fears.

Though time has changed your handsome grip,

Your hair is snowy white,

You gait's a little slower now,

Thick glasses help your sight.

Oh, do I thirst for years gone by,

To be that growing lad,

Re-living all of the memories,

Of growing with my dad.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad, Daniel's Dad, and Daniel!

Remembering Grandma

It has been 2 years since we said goodbye to Grandma, but it seems like only yesterday. Holidays just aren't the same anymore.

We miss you Grandma..

Linens N Things is the NEW CVS!

I needed some chairs for the SC house and the prices were killing me!! I needed 3 for the kitchen "bar" and 2 more for in the game room at the pub table. Everything I found was close to $99.

So, I'm at LnT last week in G-ville, and I consider this to be a pricey store, but I see these chairs on clearance for $29!!! I was estatic! THEN I realized there were 2 chairs in each box!! So they're $15 each!!! We bought 6 and laughed all the way home. The price on the box was $159 originally. The guy had just brought them out from the back of the storeroom. THANK YOU, LORD!

Homeowners Again!

A few weeks ago we helped my Mom and Dad move into their new home in Highland Lakes. This is their first house since 1994 when they left as missionaries. They are very happy with it and it's on a great shady lot.

Boy Stuff

Colton and Robert get to row around the pond one day, helping Daniel with a fence and collecting all the balls that go into the pond each year.

This isn't your normal hunting fare and we did NOT eat it - Daniel and Robert ran into him in the woods turkey hunting. He continued to advance toward them until he got too close--and wasn't backing off. Don't feel bad for him, he's not innocent. We go camping here alot and the coyotes would hurt the dog or the small children. They are a real nuisance and most states have a "kill it if you see one" policy. In fact, they mentioned that in the gun safety class they went to.

Ryan enjoyed "hunting" with Daddy--really just hiding in the bushes watching for awhile.
