Froggie

When Tim and Mark were clearing out and trimming the tree out front, they found this frog. But it was all dirty and faded. I brought it up here to H.E.A.R.T. and Cathy ( one of the Sower ladies)
painted it for me. Isn't he cute? I plan to put him out on the patio.... Same frog.. new paint..
Another day of working in the library.. all the books are on raising food in 3rd World countries and goats and pigs for the villages... or so it seems... nothing interesting to borrow and read. We did borrow the book The Shack and we take turns reading it... have to finish it by Thursday . Tim and the guys are putting up a fence for the goats...Only 3 more work days.!!!! Attended the Church of God on the Campus and it was REAL good. Also the dinner in the college dining hall... ham and broccoli chicken.... Now tonight I am making broccoli chicken in the crock pot. We are trying to use up ALL out frozen foods by Thursday as the motor home will be put in storage for over 2 months while we are down to the house.....

grills, tables and sunrises!!!!

Donna and Dick bought us a new BBQ grill as a 'thank you' for letting them stay in our house while we have been on the project.... We were so surprised in Lowe's when they said "pick it out'.. Actually it has been a real blessing to have them watch the place and do all kinds of jobs for us.... Note our messy garage in the back ground....
This week-end when we were down to the house, we went to a used furniture store that buys from estates. We got: this table set, queen bed set, dresser, computer desk and 2 book cases... It sure seems good to have a house and have furniture to put in it. As I said before.. we have not had a house or furniture in almost 10 years!!!


This is the beautiful sight that we can see every morning out our front window in the motor home.. We see some lovely sunsets, too!!

NOMADS and Asian Buffet

On Sunday we met 2 Nomad couples that we worked with about 5 years ago... Nomads is similar to Sowers but is Methodist.. We worked 10 projects with them about 5 years ago.. As you can guess we met at Cracker barrel. It was fun to share a meal with them and renew friendship!!
This is the sushi bar that was at the Asian Buffet on Valentine's... NO.. I do NOT eat that.

The crab cassarole was the best item at the buffet... Had scrambled eggs in it..



YES!!! This is the octopus.... Granddaughter Emily actually ate some!!!!


Slide



Ty was sure not afraid to climb up the big ladder and go down into the 6' deep pool!!! All of the kids enjoyed it....
