Five Years and Three Months!

That is how long it has been since this young man has been in our home.......

   He's bigger, he's older (13), and he's wiser, but he's still the same old Scott.  This visit was an answer to prayer for all of us.  We love ya, Scotty boy, and we'll see you again, soon.

For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. 1 Samuel 1:27

Lots of Peaches.....

  175 pounds of peaches,

Jars,

Lids,

Sticky, messy, work

 thanks to Mandy and Stephanie, another year of 4-H fundraiser peaches all canned and frozen.

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  Genesis 1:12

County Fair, One Last Time

The Big County Fair Weekend is over.  It was Alanna's last; her Beloved Leader is retiring and so is Alanna.

Well, they are retiring after they go to State Fair, that is.

fitting and showing

4-H in Action

These handsome Dudes or Dudettes

(didn't wanna get personnel-they are BIG)

And the favorite exhibit of the small animal barn (and probably the whole fair)

THE DUCKEY WATER SLIDE

 Every now and then they would push 

one another or reach too far and down they'd go.

 They loved swimming around after they slid down,

 but I think they might have preferred and easier way to get there.

 When they were ready, they would waddle

 back up the ramp to dry off under their light.

He Made it!

The Graduation ceremony yesterday....

I have no idea where he is in there...

Introducing one of America's newest soldiers......

 (This is really, absolutely him!)

He called from the Atlanta Airport, today.  He is on his way to Fort Sam Houston for his Medic training.  We are so very proud of him!
