More of Grandpa Dale's Junk

Some recent (and forgotten about!) photos of the junk tractor on the Ioka property......more pics of other junky machinery and outbuildings to follow at a later date. Don't want to forget this stuff--truly!

My New Hideout

Check out my new covered patio that Dad made for me! Isn't it fabulous?  He is such a handy guy to have around.  It is a cool place to sit in the early mornings and in the evening.  I have wanted to cover the patio for several years now but we finally got around to it this summer. It seriously is 20 + degrees cooler under that thing!  I came up with the plan and Dad executed it!  Way to go, hon! You da man!!

Eating at Paula's

While I was in Georgia last month, Amber and I snuck away and went out on the town.  She made reservations at Lady & Sons, Paula Deen's restaurant.  It was sooooo yummy! It is definetely a must do place if you're ever in Savannah.  Thanks Amber for a really fun night.  I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp with jasmine rice and asparagus.  YUMMO!! Don't show my Weight Watchers Consultant this picture--she would have my hide for my dinner choice!!

Pond Flowers

Here are a few pics of my beautiful pond flowers this year. Have I ever told you kids how much I really enjoy that wonderful Mother's Day gift from ohhhh sooooo long ago? Well, I really do! I look at it and tend it EVERY day which makes me think of all you kids since you are all the ones that gave it to me! Anyway, the flowers have been plentiful and wonderful this year. I enjoy them each and every day. Thanks for a great gift that has kept on giving.......

Who IS This Woman & WHAT Is She Doing?

Grandma Rae thinks that jumping on a trampoline at her age (76) is a good thing and good exercise! Craaazzzyy! She has to practically beat the kids off it first tho! Thought you might enjoy seeing what one of your grandmothers has been up to......

Man's Work

Found these pictures on my camera and couldn't help but post them.  They are from when Easton was visiting and we had just come back from camping and atving. To refresh your memory, it rained ALOT while Easton was here so the atvs were very muddy.  He insisted on cleaning the little atv on his own. He's such a good helper when it comes to the dirty jobs!! Love you E, miss you tons, Grandpa needs your help getting his jobs done so hurry back!

Rainbows

We've had a lot of rainbows this year. Maybe because we've had soooooo much stinking rain. The rainbows are always such a beautiful site tho.  I took these from the truck window while waiting for your Dad in Lowes.
