Where The Orange Blossoms Grow...: August 2009

Where The Orange Blossoms Grow....

Hello! Welcome to the Stricklen's blog. We hope to keep our family and friends up to date with what is going on with our family. You will find a variety of experiences posted here -- you may find pictures of the never ending project of building our house, Callie helping William with his first steps, Mary studying a rare insect species, or perhaps you may be terribly bored with Molly's numerous fruit trees, berries, vegetables and rare plant pictures! Who knows what we may find Chris and CJ doing -- probably something having to do with a tractor or machine of sorts. Abby and Margaret will keep us entertained with costumes from other lands or a fairy story. Whatever we post, we trust it will lift your spirits and bring honor and glory to our Lord!

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

William learned his first Bible verse:):)

Willie was constantly washing off, and then rolling around in the sand, and washing off again......and so on:):)

Welcome to our beach house:)

There is a lovely view from here

An Osprey, I think.....(Abby??A little help???)

Notice the approaching storm

The seagrapes make nice shade

"Let's go fly a kite....."

Skip-bo, anyone???? I used to love playing this with Grandmama when I went with her and Granddaddy on jobs:)
