"THANKS GOD"

                     WE HOPED THAT CHRIS, LILY AND THE GIRLS WERE GOING TO COME DOWN ON SATURDAY TO EAT AND SWIM WITH US, BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED UP??? BUT THEN I DON'T HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO ASK EARLY ENOUGH TO REALLY MAKE PLANS. I FIGURE IF I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, EVERYONE ELSE DOES TOO.. LOL                  MISSED YOU TOO JEFFERY! MAYBE SOMEDAY YOU WILL ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH US AGAIN! LOL .. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU!
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GRANDDAD AND HIS LITTLE FISHING BUDDY, ABIGAIL.. DAG ON IT, I MISSED THE PICTURE OF HIM AND NATHAN FISHING.. BUT THEY DID! SORRY NATHAN! MAYBE NEXT MONTH BUDDY, I'LL TRY HARDER!

        BELOW, THIS IS NATHAN AND HIS DAD SITTING LOOKING OUT OVER THE WATER! HE IS SO MUCH LIKE HIS DAD .. LOOKS LIKE HIM EXCEPT THAT HE'S JUST LIGHTER.. (SKIN AND HAIR) AND HE'S ALWAYS HAD THE SWEET DISPOSITION, AND NOW JUST TRIES TO BE HELPFUL LIKE HIS DAD TOO.. ABIGAIL TOO, LOOKS LIKE HER DADDY!  AND SHE CALLS  HIM "THE WEASEL'S DADDY" AND CALLS HERSELF "DADDIES LITTLE WEASEL" .. JUST TOO CUTE!

SEE THE TREE RIGHT HERE ^ IT WAS DAMAGED

BY A BEVER.. PRETTY COOL! DUMB BEAVER.. LOOKS LIKE THE TREE WOULD HAVE FELL ON LAND INSTEAD OF IN THE WATER, BUT THEN WHAT DO I KNOW? LOL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE KIDS AND HOMER SLEEPING IN THE TENT! IT WAS SOOO CUTE, ALL YOU COULD SEE WAS HOMERJOE'S FOOT! LOL HE WAS SUCH A GOOD AND SWEET FELLA WHILE WE WERE THERE, BUT THEN HE ALWAYS IS. (AND HE GOT HIS HAIR CUT JUST IN TIME FOR OUR VACATION (*.*)

THE REST OF HIM WAS LAYING ON HIS BACK, WITH ONLY HIS FOOT STICKING UP!

JUST TO FUNNY!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SORRY EVERYBODY (FAMILY ESPECIALLY) THAT I AM NOT BETTER AT TAKING MORE PICTURES.. IT'S SO IMPORTANT, AND HELPS WITH MEMORIES.. AND I AM GETTING WORSE, AND WORSE AT IT AS TIME GOES ON.. SORRY! GUESS MY "MEMORY" NEEDS A HELPER (SAYING TAKE MORE PICTURES) ! LOL

===================================================

I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS THE HAPPIEST TO SEE WHO.. ABIGAIL OR THE CHICKENS

THEY STRUTTED AROUND JUST BABBLING ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SHE'S IN THERE TRYING TO TALK TO THEM. SHE EVEN FOUND 5 OF THE 6 EGGS THAT WERE IN THERE THIS AFTERNOON.. NORMAN JR WAS RIGHT IN THERE TOO, FIRST PLACE HE WENT WHEN WE GOT HOME.. IN THAT CHICKEN PEN.. ME, I CHECKED ON THE RABBITS ON MY WAY IN AND THE CATS SOON AS I GOT THERE!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 SPOILED ROTTEN OR WHAT? THEY BOTH ARE, BUT MISSY IS THE WORSE.. AND SHE'S SOOO BOSSY AND EVEN CRAZY AT TIMES. SNOOKIE IS A LOT MORE CALM AND RELAXED.. BOTH ARE PRECIOUS =========================================================

 IT'S NOT SHOWING HERE (this picture wasn't from today) BUT WE'VE HAD A FAN OSCULATING ON HOMER AND HIS BED ALL SUMMER. HE WAS SOOO HAPPY WHEN I WALKED IN THE HOUSE WITH THAT FAN IN MY HAND AND SOON AS I HOOKED IT UP, THERE HE WAS LAYING ON THE BED.. ALL STRECHED OUT! LOVING LIFE!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

THE TRIP WAS REALLY NICE.. WE GOT OFF TO A LATER START ON FRIDAY THAN WE HAD HOPED TO DUE TO THE THUNDER STORM! BUT WE GOT THERE FINALLY.. AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR OUR TIME TOGETHER "THANKS GOD!" AND, IT'S GOOD TOO BEING HOME JUST FINISHING PUTTING THINGS AWAY AND KICKING BACK A LITTLE (I'LL WORK ON THE LAUNDRY TOMORROW AFTER WORK)
