Christmas is around the corner!

Ok, so if you know us, you know that our lives revolve around Christmas. Not the gifts, but the decorating, the time with family and most important, the birth of our Savior. So we are always moving the living room around to see where the Christmas tree is going to go this year. So we moved the fern in from the deck to play the part of the Christmas tree, and walla we have a new way to have the living room. The love seat is at an angle and the big couch is on the longer wall. We like it, but it is only August and Christmas is still 3 months away......but who is counting?

We are in it together!

This has been a week. We can do anything together, and this week has been a testament! With the good Lord, we can get through anything the ole devil dishes out.....so bring it on! As I sit here and have sprite sprayed on me! Wow he works fast!

Up Up and to Bed!

Ok last post of the night.....these are our Superheros. Not sure what their names are....but they sure look cute!

Tomorrow is the day!

It's just down to these two people the next couple of days. God, please help my father in law use and cook on the range. Let him not over cook his meal and not throw it out the back door. Help him do laundry but not have to go to work with pink t-shirts or have to turn his underwear inside out just so they will be "clean". Lord help my mother in law do what the doctor tells her to do. She does not need to be and doing washing and vaccuuming. She should be resting, reading and relaxing. But being a women that I swears has ADD, this will never happen. But for our sake, please take care of both of them. We love you guys and want you around for a couple more years!

Dinner is served!

I always tell Rich to start a blog for himself and what he cooks, so since he has not done it I would start it for him. Tonight we had Gumbo and homemade cornbread, Yummy! It was great it had shrimp, chicken and sausage in it! It was wonderful after a rough Monday!

A work in progress.....

Since our garden this year was a great disappointment this year. We wanted to at least plant something that we could watch grow. so we planted gourds and pumpkins. They ha flowers in one of the plants. Hopefully we will have our own pumpkin to carve in October.Here is the new view from the pool pump. We are really trying to think how we want it to look like. I just hope we do not screw anything up! It may look like dodo now, but next year it will look great!.....I prey

Pretty happy that the big Crepe Myrtle is not shoved in the corner anymore. If I could only trim those berry bushes. Next weekend maybe ;)

School house ......fish?

Guess what?? We have a little school of fish in our pond. There is probably about 20 babies in there. Rich is so proud of his little swimmers.....uh, fish. These are not very good pictures of them but you can kind of see them. Life is so exciting around patch of heaven!
