Savannah House

We went to Branson a couple of weeks ago and 

this was a great place to stay.  We went with

a group from church.

A room was reserved so that anyone who

wanted to could play games or visit as long at

night as they wanted.

And, the best part was the late evening

hospitality room with cobblers, ice cream,

cookies, and drinks (water, coffee and juice).

In the morning they offer a great continental breakfast.

Savannah House in Branson

Lovely place with beautiful flowers and butterflies.

 

A nice welcome to the Southeast Baptist Church folks.

 

Awesome waterfall!

Beautiful giant size flower

Butterflies were abundant.  I loved the scenery. 

Birthday Boy

Nathan enjoyed the gifts.  Elmo and a microphone

seemed to be really big hits with him and the brothers.

"Elmo cupcakes were good"

Thanks guys!

 

"Two, I am really two now"

"I wanna be a singer, man"

 

 "I really do"

 "And, I'm not kiddin' around"

 New potty for birthday....

"I think I might know what this is for."

ELMO DAY!

Someone is two years old today.

Happy Birthday Gracie!

Gracie is "11" today!

I hope you have a great day Gracie, and

I hope to see you very soon.

I understand that your soccer skills are just 

getting better and better.

You are growing up so fast and I think 

you are a beautiful girl.

I will bring your birthday gift when I come.

We all love you!!!!

Gracie and the Goats

My granddaughter Gracie (aka - Ellie Mae) at a

Fall Festival in Texas.

She loves animals and they love her.

I am missing me some Texas grand kids.

A Beautiful Sunday Afternoon

I was summoned outside via way of a text message

this afternoon.  It went like this - from David--

"Nice scene of heifers behind house picturesque".

That was my cue to grab the camera and take dairy heifer

pictures. I found more than just these beauties outside.

Our dog Shadow above, dug herself a huge hole 

to lay in....guess she is trying to keep cool.

Look below at these beautiful Rose of Sharon bushes

complete with yellow butterflies and bumble bees.

Nature never ceases to amaze me.

It has been so hot and dry for weeks.....it looked worse

than the middle of winter around here.

But, a few nights ago we received some flooding rain.

Now, everything looks fresh again.

The weather is beautiful today.  I think there needs to

be another season....that of the few weeks between

the hot summer and the crisp fall.

Maybe it could be Sumall....not summer and not fall.

Is this blue sky behind the flowers and butterflies

  not just gorgeous?  

Busy, busy bee embedded in the blooms.

And, this is about the last living thing left

on my back porch....survived only by the 

slightly cooler weather and watering.

Cute Friends

Cute picture of Gracie and her friend Rebecca
at FC Dallas Soccer game. They look ready to
support the team. It is my understanding that
this is a professional team.

Looks like the girls were happy about the trip.
