Life In The Slow Lane

We have been taking it easy around here lately.  I realized on Tuesday that I hadn't been to "town" (18 Mikes away) since Friday...that's 4 days away from civilization  (not really, but kind of). I am honestly NOT missing the drive EVERY DAY!!
 
We have finally started to get some veggies out of our garden! Still no tomatoes, but we have squash, cucumbers and jalapenos.
 
 
I may have mentioned it before, but I do love these flowers.  Most of them are taller than I am!
 
Trey and Carl have been shooting their bows.  They are already ready for hunting season!
 
Carlie and Sadie
 
My Sadie Lou and the sack she drug up from somewhere!
 
Every year we try to take a picture of all of my moms grandkids on the diving board at her pool.
It's kind of neat to see how much they have grown from year to year!
 
Yesterday evening we drove to the farm so Carl and Trey could put their game cameras out.
They are mostly trying to see how many hogs they can get rid of before deer season!
 
Makena Faith and her giant flamingo, Fawn!
 
Carlie worked hard on verse posters for Vacation Bible School, which is next week!
 
I am in charge of the music for VBS again, so my mom ordered me some masks of different farm animals that the kids can wear while singing (we'll see how long they last).  Does this look like an owl to you?!  It really doesn't to me, but that is what it is supposed be :)
 
 
So now that things are moving a little slower for us, I think it may be time to start on some projects around the house. I'm pacing myself, so maybe next week :)
 
Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
