Our Farmhouse Table!

Our wonderful CHARLESTON find ~ a farmhouse table with four chairs!! Y'all, Mike found this at Goodwill for $49.99. We've been looking everywhere for a farmhouse table and chairs and this one fell in our lap when we were on vacation! Though it's not exactly what we wanted, we couldn't pass up this deal! We loaded it up in the camper and brought it home with us! Now, I just have to clean it up a little. And, I am still going to have that wallpaper peeling party soon, so I can paint the kitchen!!

Sunset

Sharing a spectacular sunset, with Griffin, is just what I needed tonight!

Fourth Of July Party

We had friends over for a BBQ today. It was nice to sit back, relax, enjoy sweet conversation and good food! I only got a few pictures ~ I hardly picked my camera up!

Sunday At Home.

Sunday ~ turtle finding, chicken loving, machete weeding, yard working, blackberry finding, family loving kind of day.

Deep Thought.

Good-bye Fort Griffin

June 20, 2007 ~ Mike and Griffin put the final screws in his playset. Almost 10 years to the day, Griffin took his first swing, with Daddy pushing him, and we decided to call it Fort Griffin. We've had 10 years of wonderful memories - kids climbing, swinging, sliding, building, eating popsicles, blowing bubbles, laughing, giggling and growing. I've shared a few of those memories here. Today was moving day and Fort Griffin is going to another family. I know they will enjoy it as much as we have. ❤️

Pixie Sword

Perhaps a pixie lost her sword ...

Mike.

As I was headed out this morning, I asked Mike what I should take out of the freezer for dinner. He told me not to worry about it, he would surprise me. Taking Griffin to the doctor, going to my doctor's appointment, running an errand in town, and finally grocery shopping, kept me busy for most of the day. When Griffin and I came home, Mike made dinner. You know, THIS was better than any gift he could ever buy. It truly is things such as this that means the most. I love you, Mike. ❤️

Freedom Of Summer

I love the freedom of summer ~ no school work, a more casual schedule, warm days and lots of sunshine! We are going to soak in every.single.moment of these days!

Griffin's Summer Chore Chart

I made this summer chore chart for Griffin. I placed it in a frame and he can use a dry erase marker on it. It's a great way for him to keep up what he has accomplished and what he still needs to do.

Helping Dad.

Griffin is old enough to help his Dad with so much these days!

Serving With Carpenters For Christ

Mike has been serving with Carpenters for Christ this past week. It has been a true blessing for our church, family and community.

Griffin was invited to serve along with his Dad. The past couple of days he has been delivering water, picking up the building site and being a 'go for' whatever is needed. I am so very thankful he's had this opportunity.

Flowers

Colorful flowers spilling from a mason jar brings me such joy! Irises, strawflowers and daisies make up this sweet bouquet!

Carpenters For Christ At RMBC

Carpenters for Christ is at our church helping to build the fellowship/education building. Mr. Hawk offered to take some of our youth on a tour of the building. Our tour involved an animated and fun description of what we were seeing. It was amazing as we watched the men from Carpenters for Christ work in unison above us and beside us!! This was such an incredible experience!

The Art Lab

The Art Lab at the Science Museum is Griffin's favorite ~ he would spend hours in there if he could!

Riding With Daddy.

Daddy and Jazzy went for a ride ~ Ollie wants in on the shenanigans.

Daddy - Locked & Loaded!

Locked & Loaded ~ Mike has a Nerf gatlin gun and he surprise attacked Griffin and Christian last night. They never saw him coming!!

It's A Good Day.

It was a good day to have a good day! Enjoyed a few hours working on the chicken coop roof, loving on our chickens and enjoying strawberry lemonade.
