Fish and Fowl

Sam caught a 35 lb Halibut and won the grand prize. We could eat for a week.













This cockatiel found it's way to our motor home. Nick went on the roof to bring him down and it climbed up onto his shoulder. He now has a cozy cage and is protected.

Frame Signing Aug. 8th

Not many photos to share, we we're too busy touring with our friends. Our walls are covered with blessings and drawings. We look forward to our next milestone celebration.

Aug. 7th The Cow Jumped Over the Moon!

When I got home from work tonight Nick shared some photos he took with his new camera. The moon was full and bright. He is so creative! It reminded me of a video I have of Sam reciting the nursery rhyme. What a sweet memory. We still have the video, thank God. Tomorrow is our frame signing. I thought the day would never come.

Waiting for roof tile.

I saw the Skylift arrive at about 7AM. Then nothing. The delivery truck loaded with roof tile broke an axel. It never arrived. We wait.
