A Special Thanks!

Just want to say thank you to a special daughter-in-law who keeps my blog background updated!! Just love her creativity and beauty that she always instills in my blog! Love it and love you, Marshalene!

Another Smokey Sunset And New Little Neighbor To The North!!

We continue to have wild fires west and north of us.  So thankful for all the hard working volunteer firefighters working hard to keep people and property safe. Many of these firefighters are friends and acquaintences, and we pray for their safety in the heat and strong winds that they battle.
One result of the fires is the smoke which makes for some pretty colorful sunsets. This sunset is one that I caught last night just as the sun was going down, and on another note, we have a new, fun, adorable little neighbor not quite a month old! Check this little guy out!

Peaceful Sunset

After a very windy day, we had a beautiful evening and sunset!

Welcome To Dust Bowl 2014

Still no rain, lots of very windy, dusty days.  Starting to water the yard to get my lawn to green out and have been watering trees and bushes  for awhile trying to save them. It's amazing how the wheat field across the street can stay so pretty and green with this drought we have going on!
Surely one day soon we will get some of that wonderful, refreshing rain!

No Rain, But Still There Is Beauty!

One of our beautiful sunrises recently!

Missed out again on the rain, but this was our consolation prize!!

So close, but it gave out before it got here! Trusting the Lord to give us a soaker one of these days!

Sounds like good advice! The One who holds our future knows best!

Early Morning!

Beautiful Sunrise, Sunday!

We missed out on much rain, (barely wet the ground),  but beautiful cloudy sunrise Sunday morning! Love the reflection on the clouds!

Family Time and Birthday Celebration!!

Last Sunday we celebrated a belated birthday party for Bradley and just enjoyed some family time and making memories!! Following are a few pics from Brad's birthday celebration!

Bradley and Scott sharing a fun moment!! These two crack me up!!  They are so much fun, life of the party as you can tell! lol

The guy side of the table enjoying a delicious meal that Marshalene prepared for us!! Daniel wasn't able to join us until later, but a plate of the yummy meal was saved for him!

The gals, and, well, Bob, side of the table!  As you can see Kay is blooming! Daniel and Kay's little boy is due next month.  Mema Koehn is going to catch up with me on grandkids.  Her daughter-in-law, Carissa is also expecting in August, a little girl!



I see just a bit on oneriness in this precious little guy's face!!

Well, not sure what's happening here!! lol

Daddy sharing his "R" rated card from Uncle Scott with Hunter! lol
