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! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...
