PIX For The Day!!!

This I couldn't resist posting...

...Hi, Baxter and Sophie...

Memorial Day !!!

Memorial Day was hot, sunny and filled with projects...

Kyri earned money on a dirty job. Climbing under the trailer with an electrical wire for her Dad!!!


Ezekiel (and Kelt) added a camper to our ...
[this one for Ezeko]
...growing RV park. When your house is small, RV's become house extensions.
[this one for Shal]
Shawn dug the holes for the poles where my clothes line will go and...

...here is the view I will enjoy while I'm hanging clothes.

Here is the main job completed...We've had this horrid, huge beater of an air-conditioner for over seven years...it was old back then. But I am so thankful for it and for Kyri's cheerful artwork beside it. Cool!! (pun intended:)

Happy Memorial Day!!!

The Month Of May--Part 1!!!

The month of May has been a busy one for us...

...Ezekiel and his friend Tomas came down for a visit Mother's Day Weekend...

So, of course, Angelica had to come up from Texas to join them...

...but maybe they weren't coming to see me? Dad and LaVerne were here on a whirlwind tour...
(Thanks, Dad and LaVerne, we truly enjoyed your visit.)


It was also a few days before Kyri's Birthday, so a celebration was in order!

Our Mother's Day Dinner was at Isaiah and Karen's...yummy!

The most special of all was that Mom was here and we got to spend some time together.
Thanks, Mom, for driving all that way...You're the BESTEST!!!

Happy Anniversary, Shawn!!!

We're we really THIS young?


And skinny?

I Love You!


My Point Of View!!!


I was never a weather buff or anything, but I have discovered the fun of watching the clouds...

...I get to watch the storms blow in and blow out...


...the sun is always shining...

...the sky is always blue...

Why can't I remember this simple lesson when Life's storms hide everything beautiful?
Without clouds our skies are so blue and well, sorta boring...it IS the clouds that make a beautiful sunset and an interesting vignette...and so with my life, I guess...

I do love the sun, though, with all it's shiningness...
(...is that even a word?)

How Can You Resist?

Some things are just irresistible...

...especially little kitty feet!

Welcome, Spring!!

Fencing...No, not the kind with barbed-wire...


Recently, Kelton and Shawn started fencing again and had an opportunity to compete in an open tournament...


...here's Kelt, suited up and waiting his next bout...


...winning this match put him in the finals...


...the question we all were asking was--Will Dad do battle with Son?...


...surprisingly, this lady beat Shawn and went on to do a final bout with Kelton...

...the Final results are in: Kelt-GOLD!!!

Shawn tied for third...he claims it was a pulled muscle in his arm...
Anyway, we aren't one bit convinced that Kelton didn't win fair and square!!!
Congrats, Buddy!

ahem,...even if your outfit looks alittle...never mind!!!
