Sue's Blog

Sue put some new pics in of a project we and others have been working on together. That's why I've been away for so long. Check out her blog from my link on the side bar.

Furry Spotted Visitors

No, these are not new additions to the Reign Forest at New Pointe. They are two young deer who apparently got separated from Mom yesterday. They stayed around all day waiting for her. They did not seem to mind too much when I came around. Today they were gone.

Picture from Kevin's Florida Trip

This is a view from the audience during the worship at Bigstuf Camp that Kevin went to. I believe there were over a thousand teens there.

New pictures

Sorry Tina, out of all those fireworks pictures I took, I couldn't find one worth posting. My camera is not doing well on action shots.

We went canoing with our friends Mark and Chris, their daughter and friend, and Kevin and friend. These were worth sharing.

At the campgrounds we stayed they were having a vintage camper convention. The whole place was filled with historical campers. Some were beautifully restored. Some not. The gentleman talking to Dave owned the one in the other picture. He claimed to be Jay Leno's mechanic. Interesting!

Happy Birthday Marianne West

Saturday, Sunday, Monday......Whatever day it is I hope it's filled with many blessings. Maybe I'll get it right next year.

Happy Birthday Wyatt

He's a warrior, a baseball player, a racecar driver, and a big game hunter, all in one small package. He's also my nephew.

Even a child knows the value of a life

Over the Fourth of July weekend we had the privilege to work at the Town Days Festival, Right to Life Booth. We’ve been volunteering for around ten years now. There was a baby girl that stole our hearts when she was hugging the life-like babies on display. So I took a picture of her. Isn't she adorable! Children seem to know instinctively the value of a life. We can either nurture that instinct or teach them that life doesn’t matter.

The weather broke for a change and allowed for a nice fireworks display. Several friends were there to share the moments. Kudos to Kevin and Marianne West who ran the 5K race at the festival.

Happy Birthday Big C

Dave's Dad's birthday was last Thursday. He and Wanda are coming out to see Kevin off today. Then they're coming out for supper. They're the best and we love them.

Kevin leaving for Florida

Today Kevin is leaving for Bigstuf Camp in Panama City Florida.

Thanks family and friends for buying all that chicken.

Here's a link to see what you helped finance. http://bigstuf.com/panama/
Pray for him, the twenty-five other students, the leaders, bus drivers. etc. I wish I were going.

Happy Birthday Mom

On your birthday I pray for you all your favorite things:

Humming birds, blue birds, misty eyed deer
Songbirds of every kind you'll hear
Books by Thoreau and Hawthorne to read
Visits to Linda and Duffy's, Godspeed
Milkglass and china as far as the eye can see
Perdita licking your face with glee.
These are the things I pray for you
On your birthday and every other day, too.

Love
Karen

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. We had lunch today so I didn't post this until today because I wanted her to see it first. We went to lunch at a new restaurant called Hot Rod City. It's really nice there. They have it made up to look like an old time gas station on a large scale.

Happy Birthday Jim Howard
