How 'bout a few pictures to start this ball rolling again.....
 Margaret has been busy with her yard work and
Her dogs.
Jim has had an all consuming job with cleaning up after the  ice storm that decimated all of the pines fronting the property.

While the kids and I have played on....



It's a hard life.....


I have been gone too long!  This absence has been due to the fact that my computer died and I have not replaced it.  More than a year ago my wonderful daughters gifted me with a Kindle Fire, which I have had in constant use for all of my computer needs.  My one computing exception has been the updating of this blog.  I kept thinking I would be able to replace my lap top but, since that's not going to happen anytime soon,  I'll go ahead and give using my trusty Kindle at shot at blogging....I've missed you guys!

OMG!  No wonder small children and dogs run from me!

 It was an exciting day for the children in Sophia's class as they each were walked the cat walk in their favorite fashions.  Sophia carefully chose her clothes for the big day.  Nothing but her brightest and best would do.  I'm  very sorry I wasn't able to attend the event as I am sure each child was at their most beautiful. 

            Chicken stew and chili all around at this wonderful get together. 
Toni invited me to join her for an annual chicken stew and chili dinner the parents of one of her friends from  work have held each year for 15 years.  There were folks from all over clamoring for stew and chili, not to mention the deserts.  In fact, I met a very pleasant lady, a cousin to Sara's father, that was in from California.  She was in just for the dinner. 

 
Due to an intense rain which brought a rapid temperature drop there was a huddle on the back porch and a quick donning of sweaters and jackets.  As soon as the rain abated everyone re-set the tables, dried their chairs and filled their bowls with good hot vittles. 
 
Even though it stayed hazy for the remainder of the evening I enjoyed getting pictures of the property and outbuildings.
 
 
 This was the original kitchen to the house.
