SOUTH AFRICA BOUND Zach and a friend are in South Africa right now.  This picture was taken as they were getting ready to board their first time.  It was a crazy trip for them.  They landed in SA 48 hours later than they were scheduled! They are splitting their time between Johannesburg and Durban.  Right now they are in Durban with almost no internet so we have had only 1 short note from Zach.  Can't wait till he gets back to Jtown when we hope to be able to Skype with him.  We did see one photo of him being taught the Zulu language by 2 young boys!  Tee Hee  wish I had been there to see that.  :)

WEEKEND AWAY  Becca and I recently had a weekend away by ourselves.  We started at Missouri Town 1855.  We had a great time.  Took a rag rug class.  Couldn't have asked for a better day.  We had a little reprieve from the 100` weather.  That particular morning it didn't get above 80!  We were so thankful for the cool temps as we sat on the porch of the tavern and learned a new skill.  Can't wait to hit the thift stores for old sheets to get started on a rug!

LAMBSLoved the baby lambs.  We could have watched them for a long time!  I just love how they skip and jump.  So happy!

TEACHER Our fantastic instructor.  Loved the period costume.

TURKEYS I think she was watching the turkeys at this point.  3 very large turkeys walking thru the yard.
SNAKE!!!!!  We got with in a foot or 2 of stepping on this guys.  Yes, lots of screaming and running before I gathered my wits and went back to take a picture of him.  He was about 3 foot long.  I was told that he was small.  They have seen them up to 10 foot long there!  Thankful we saw a small one!


SIGN  I took this because it is what I want for the store.  Well, not quite like it, maybe a tea pot instead of an anvil, but you get the idea. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there.

We had a great day around here.  Up early for church.  Home for a bit of gift giving and then steaks on the grill and baked potatoes.  Later in the afternoon we all met again at the dining room table to have some fondue.  We were introduced to fondue by our friends, Greg and Deanna, in Florida and it is a treat to have every so often!


Life is really starting to feel kind of "normal" around here again and it is GREAT!
