I like this picture of Morgan. We gave her a cell phone for Christmas and hid it in a bag of 100 hair bands. Rick had it activated prior to that and when she was tearing the wrapping paper off he called her new phone number. It was fun to watch her dig through all those hair bands to get to her phone.

This is my great uncle Floyd. He makes Root Beer every year at our family reunion. Kids line up for a cup of this spicy-sweet ice cold treat. He is mixing it in a 5-gallon bucket with "the root

beer stick" and has dry ice in there to frost it quick. Talk about a frosty mug of root beer now. YUMMM! August hurry up!

This is by far one of my most favorite pictures of my guys. Needless to say, that was a peaceful afternoon.

And then the berries were made into a lovely pie.

Last summer I went blackberry picking at a friend's place. I came home with a tub full of berries and had some fun "styling" them.

Our small town has a yearly celebration in the summer and while the parade down Main Street is not long nor very exciting it IS tradition. Our "Red Hat Society" always participates by riding in an area farmer's "Pickle Barrel Train."

I took this photo last spring. I am glad to share it now. This little bird was perched upon the little red wagon just outside our front door.
