Life, Misc., at Home :)

My special grandmother's perfume, my (to me) priceless wedding and engagement rings, and pearl drop earrings... I'm ready! :)
Travis called me to the door the other morning -- "Look, Lish!" There all the horses were, waiting right at our back door for their morning feed! ;)
Today being Saturday, Travis and I did the cows. :) At our hay lease he stopped, got our, and came back with these lovely lantanas for me that were growing wild in the field! So sweet! :)
Working on the water trough...

I am so grateful to God for this man!!

Trip!! Part 3

Sunday was another lovely day, announcing our news to church friends... In the eve., we watched a live stream that ICR was doing... it was good!

Kathryn found the last mud puddle! ;)
She wanted to just stand in it! It was cute! ;)
Another scrumptious dessert made by Debs!
The neighbor boy caught this bass in the same pond, and gave it to us! Here Travis holds it up :) It was pretty big!
All good things come to an end -- now it's Monday, and we're heading back to our happy home in south TX!
We stopped at a Cabela's to stretch our legs -- and admire the stuffed animals! Pretty amazing antlers!
They even had an elephant! It was quite impressive! (Even tho they're neater in real life, of course) :)
Home that evening, and enjoyed a tasty meal provided by Mrs. E and Kandace! Thanks so much, all of our relatives, for your love, support, and friendship! :) We are blessed!!

Fun game of Canasta at N&K's!
 
 

Trip!! Part 1

It's Friday, and Travis and I are on our way to Dallas!!!!
Why? Because this:
It was so fun announcing our news to both our families! (Thanks, Debs, for the pic!!)
As we were visiting that eve., this stray dog ran straight into the house, and into the living room rug! ;)
Thankfully he had a collar and tag, so we were able to contact his owner, and reunite them! :)
Lovely rainbow...

And a gorgeous sunset to end a lovely, exciting day! :)
Saturday, coming next!

These are some more pics from the hay fire at Uncle Paul's -- Travis and Kandace took them with Travis' phone. :) I'm a little late in posting them, but here they are anyway! Better late than never, right? :)
