Road Trip #2


 
This was *very* North for us.
Except for the two times we flew to Alaska.
That was *totally* North.
 



Destination, Kalamazoo.
 


Was fun to see wildflowers still blooming.
Where we come from,
most of them are spent by the middle of June.
Gone to seed and waiting for next year.
I had to brighten these up a little bit.
Had they been Texas wildflowers....
I could have let the picture stand on its own.
 


 
Moving Lydia in.
 
I counted the steps.
 
73.
 



Heading for the court house.
It was a pleasant experience because we actually had
ALL
the right papers and identification.
If I had a dime for every time I had to GO back
to TDOT in Angleton.....
from our house....
because of kids needing I.D. and
driver's licenses.....
and not having the right stuff....
and papers and proof ,
I could buy a Lemon Slush from Sonic.
 


 
We had some days of waiting.....
so we of course went to the water.
I was SO different.
Beautiful.
No sharks.
No salt.
Also, no funky smells.
 


 
enjoying the sites
 





 
So, we go to Texas Corral to eat.
I KNEW the music would be loud....
and I knew I wouldn't want to hear the songs.
I was right.
But the food was good.
 
And we all had plenty to drink.....
 


 
 
So ended Thursday.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
