A delicious way....

 ...to use the first asparagus of spring!

An Anniversary!

 

Yesterday, the 26th, was Dad and Mom's anniversary!  

We cooked supper over the camp fire, and Ana spent the afternoon baking and decorating this beautiful cake which we had for dessert.  Well, they had it for dessert...we girls had s'mores! ;)  

I am so thankful for my parents!!!!!

Neighboring horses...

We girls often go for walks down our gravel road, and if our neighbor's horses are in the pasture near the road, they usually come to the fence and stare at us when we walk by.  So we stop and look at them too. :)

This is my favorite of the three horses they have. :)

An Open House!

Sunday afternoon .... The weather was a bit rainy, the clouds looked ominous, and the gravel roads gave us a wild ride as we went to a friend's graduation open house; never a dull moment!
It rained at the open house but thankfully that was all as later we heard that there had been a tornado that afternoon in the cities just a few hours away. We are thankful for the Lord's protection as we traveled to our friend's home and while at their place. 

Congratulations Becca!!

Beautiful clouds. :)

Truck + Mud = Family Project

 

The truck got stuck in a wet muddy spot by the shed and we spent yesterday afternoon getting it unstuck.

 Since it was at a slightly up-hill slant and the ground is so soft, the tires spent a lot of time spinning....

 ...spraying people with mud....

 ...and digging trenches.

 Finally, we discovered that an old rug worked quite well for giving traction and preventing the truck from sinking down into the lawn.

Success at last!!

It was a lot of work, but it was fun to work on a project together!

"All the days of the afflicted are evil,
   But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast."  

Proverbs 15:15   

Resurrection Sunday!

"How deep the fathers love for us! 

How vast beyond all measure, 

That He should give His only Son,

To make a wretch His treasure! 

How can I gain from His reward? 

I cannot give an answer, 

These wounds born by the chosen One, 

Bring many sons to glory!"

 Sunday we made the long drive down to Grandma W.'s home.

The frost is really making a mess of out gravel road. It makes driving an adventure!

 Waiting for lunch...and Uncle Rob, who was bringing the ham. :)

After eating, visiting and cleaning up we all went for a walk.

 John helping Aunt Shelly with her shoes. :) 
(She sliced her fingers when making the scalloped potatoes and couldn't tie her shoes with one hand.)

 Uncle David, Dad, and Uncle Rob.

We walked up to the apartment building that Grandma is thinking of moving to.

Smile!

It was a beautiful day for a walk!  Uncle Chuck said we went 2.3 miles.
