Bon Voyage

Sometimes when you turn the pages to new chapters in our lives it can be joyful, yet sad in ways too. My good friend Phyllis and her husband are leaving for a while. Phyllis took me under her wing six years ago. She became a very dear friend despite the differences that we have had, and I'm going to miss her so much. I'm going to miss our tea parties, our Bible studies, and the prayers we prayed together. I'm going to miss going to lunch with her, and sitting in her living room with her, Dave, and John, drinking ice tea or hot tea, depending on the weather, having a good conversation. I'm going to miss listening to Johns stories, especially all his stories about Ireland. I am keeping them in my prayers and look forward to seeing them next summer. I am struggling with her leaving because she has been my only friend since I moved back to Blanding. But I know God always has a plan, and all will be well.

Fun Day at Needles

We went to Needles to do the laundry, and while we were there we took advantage and had a little fun. Lindsey and her friends had a good time climbing in the rocks.

Kids Crack Me Up

We were all at the third reservoir for Kinzies birthday. I looked over to check on Melany and Avena, since I was watching them for Nichole, when I saw these four hanging out and talking. They were carrying on the funniest conversation, and I just had to try and capture their expressions. Melany is more interested in having her picture taken

The camera caught their attention too

I don't think they wanted me to interrupt them.

As I was looking at the pictures I realized Meleny and Avena don't have cake

with them, but they had eaten theirs already.
