Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Our last event before school begins was a trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. We listened to Patch the Pirate adventures on the way down—reminded us of our first trip out west many years ago. After spending the night about 15 miles north of the downtown area, we arrived at the aquarium at about [...]
Summer Happenings
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008We are in the hottest and driest part of the summer. School is just around the corner. I am thankful for an opportunity to rest and not to have as much on the schedule. Serveral things have happened in the past week. The birds in the crepe myrtle tree are getting bigger. Mother bird does not like [...]
The Fowls of the Air (To Be)
Monday, July 28th, 2008This has been a hot and dry summer in Greenville, and yet we have been blessed with four different bird nests in our front yard’s flora. Two sets of wrens have built their homes in the ferns from Abby and Lincoln’s wedding. Three small black eyes are visible in the wren picture. All three birds [...]
Happy Birthday Grandma Q!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Tuesday was Grandma Q’s birthday. Yeah! Yippeeeee!
By the way, she made both Joyce’s wedding dress 29 years ago and Abby’s dress this year. She does great work!
Wilds 2
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008All right, as promised, about camp. I had a great time at the Wilds, meeting a lot of new people. My counselor, Megan, was awesome, although she had a cold all week and could barely talk. We had 10 girls, including Megan, in our cabin, which was called Mysteryland. I went with my [...]
29th Anniversary
Monday, July 21st, 2008On July 21, 1979, Joyce and I were married at Evangel Baptist Church in Dale City, Virginia by Pastor Richard Gelina. God has richly blessed us over the years! Yes, we have gained a few pounds and some gray hair along the way too. It may have been the four kids that did it to [...]
A Quick Trip
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Auria needed to be at the Wilds on Monday. Joyce and I needed to get out of town for a while. Sounded like a perfect “excuse” for a quick trip! We took the opportunity!
We took Auria and two of her friends to the Wilds Christian Camp in Rosman, NC. The three girls talked the whole way [...]
WILDS
Sunday, July 13th, 2008This week I’m going to the WILDS, a Christian camp in North Carolina, about an hour and a half away. I’m really looking forward to it, and when I get back, I write another post about it, and hopefully get Dad to show me how to post pics. I also get to see Anthony who [...]
Playing Softball
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Both Abby abd Auria played softball for the Press-Library team in the BJU summer league. Abby played various infield positions. Auria pitched for a couple of games. Joyce and I enjoyed going to see them on Monday evenings. The team did not win a game but definitely improved through the season.
Cookies
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008My Father’s Day present to Dad was a promise to make a batch of cookies any time he wanted. (1 time only) So, I made them today on his request. They were oatmeal raisin, and as far as I can tell, he approves. He also told me I needed to make a post, so here [...]
