Learning to walk

Picnic and chickens

Greg and I went for a motorcycle ride a couple of weekends ago. We stopped at a roadside park to have a picnic. Lake Sam Rayburn can barely be seen in the far distance.

One day when I pulled up at home my chickens were on the front steps.

Sean at the pumpkin patch in San Antonio. I love the one in the middle where he is smiling and watching the ground as he crawls.

It's already November

On November 23, Courtney will be 26 years old. This past weekend we were in San Antonio for her little boys first birthday. I was trying to rock him to sleep one day, as he tossed and turned fighting sleep, I had a flashback to when Courtney was that age. She never wanted to slow down long enough to sleep, especially when it was light outside.

The years have gone by so very fast, but they have been very good years. I must admit there a few things I would have liked not to have happened, but over all it has all been very good. Thank you, Lord.

Years ago I started a tradition of giving Courtney a birthday present each day for a week before her birthday. I thought now that she is married and has her own baby that I would stop. It is hard to stop a tradition, so on the 16th I will start giving Courtney her presents. I will have to send them all to her at once, individually wrapped and she can open one a day. She never was a peeker, but I'm not sure about Darrell.

My husband, bestfriend, and lover.

Cleaning out Dawn's garage

When we moved from Kirbyville to Burkville in 1997, we stored some of our stuff in Dawn's garage, actually, at the time it was Memaw's garage. Well, mom has been on me to come go through my stuff and help get it cleaned out. Dawn said most of the stuff wasn't hers but she was wrong. We spent yesterday going through boxes and stacks of stuff. I found all of Courtney's baby clothes that I had saved, a few dishes, and lots of papers. I threw some away, left some there and brought some home. Above, are the before and after pictures. I think we did a pretty good job.
