Co-Workers

These ladies were my co-workers many years ago, and they all continued to work at SMH all these years.  Now that I have returned (for the 3rd time), we are co-workers/friends again.  We were out of uniform for Sharon's daughter's wedding.

Shooting Deer - Me?

Okay, so I didn't get a good shot.......I am not a very good photographer, but I keep trying.  I did just have to get a "shot" of my "deer" friends, who seem to be lingering a little longer around our home area.  Yes, I met with several unwanted obstructions, and considering these were taken a great distance from my subjects, and from inside my house and garage.....I was fortunate to even have the deer in the pictures at all.  The last picture was taken from the garage window and the carport cover certainly got in my way.  The dreariness of winter was showing through as I snapped each shot, trying to get a glimpse before they ran away.  I do enjoy the regular visits from my "deer" friends.  It is always fun during hunting season, when many hunters run around the country enjoying their sport, only to find little success in this area.  As soon as they load up and go home, my "deer" friends come close to the house.  God's beauty and wonder of nature still amazes me.

Time In A Mirror

© Susan Zakusylo
White-tip mountains, majestic, stand tall.
Images of trees, reflections of clouds in blue.
Birds in flight look down to see years gone by,
years still to see.
Leaves of green, brown, yellow and red,
reflect as they float to their winter bed.
Footprints in snow of squirrels and deer.
The rippling of rains as they fall.
Seasons gone by, those still to come.
All of nature is a reflection of time.

Texas Snow

I dare say, I doubt these Texas grandkids have ever seen this much snow in Texas.  Looks like they got pretty creative with the snow person....I do believe Gracie intended for the "snowman" to be a "snowgirl" - well, with the pink cool cap and all.  Looks like Gabby likes the snow too.

Note the attention to detail too.....Peppermint Patties for eyes (in the wrapper).

Awe, little snow angel

And, there is Gillan and Gracie each holding their snow person's hand.

Too cool!

Great pictures Christy, I hope you didn't mind that I swiped them from your facebook page.

Just Because

This kid's smile makes me happy!

Blessings for the New Year

What a way to start the New Year!  Two of my grandsons were baptized tonight at Southeast Baptist Church by Pastor Monty Baggett.   The oldest brother, Joshua, age 9,  invited Jesus into his heart about a year ago, and Andrew, age 7, invited him into his heart more recently.  The boys were both ready and anxious to follow the Lord in believer's baptism tonight.  What a blessing to be able to witness this testimony of their faith. 

Tulsa Farm Show

So, what do people do who live on farms?  They go to farm shows and let their grandkids dream about big THINGS.  Things of the future......equipment....tractors, trailers, trucks, four wheelers, motors, wheels, and maybe farming?  Who knows what the future really holds for farmers.  One thing is certain....the toys get bigger, technology changes, and the price goes up.  I really wonder what this world will do when farmers are no longer able to make a living farming and the food supply is gone.  A boy can still dream!!  My youngest grandson Nathan was able to enjoy the fun for the first time this year.

 

 Josh and Andrew each found a four wheeler that they thought was just their size.

 I think they tried out all of them.

 Oh no, Nathan likes the big trucks!

Tractors, all colors, sizes, and shapes can be had for a price.

Above was one monster crop sprayer - HUGE!
The picture does not do it justice.

 "Okay, this is what I'm talkin' about".

 "Yes, I'm lovin' it"

 This old feller really wanted me to love it.

 We saw the old and we saw the new.

 Cool antique tractors!!

"Finally, my Sonic slush!!  I am pooped out"!
