Where The Orange Blossoms Grow...: December 2009

Finally, here are some more pictures of our trip to Ark/Mo.

Sorry it's taken me so long, our computer has been having problems:/ Someday I'll start posting something more recent. Boy am I behind.....Anyways, here they are--Hope y'all enjoy them:)
"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."

I Timothy 6:11

We all hopped on a 4-wheeler or the Polaris and took a ride up to the top of the mountain to look at the property.

Uncle Jay and Deeda

There really is a lovely view from the top

Callie and Vanna

I love this yellow tree, it looks like its glowing:)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Millers came over to the property and we spent a lovely day with them

Hehe:) something must have been funny:)

A little goofy girl

Aha! Caught in the act of stealing chips!:):)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There were thousands of these little Asian Beetles all over the RV and the house

Meet Uncle Jays little (or not so little) pet, "Harry" They found him on the property

Deeda and Vanna had alot of fun together

Seizing the opportunity to go outside without shoes while it was still relatively warm, I grabbed a camera and Deeda and I took a walk down the driveway and on down to the creek.

(No, I couldn't resist...)

**************************************************

The creek was nice and clear.......

.........and absolutely freezing I might add. Next time I'll think twice before doing this--I couldn't feel my feet for a while.....:)

Deeda looking for neat-looking rocks:)

Hmmm...A jacket and no shoes? That makes sense. No, she couldn't be from anywhere but Florida.....

Callie Susie

Deeda, our faithful dessert maker:)

Savannah loves big bubbles:):):)

Rachel stayed the night up at the property, so we enjoyed her company for a few days:)

The creek almost came up over the bridges after it rained one of the days

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Granddaddy started up the Polaris and we hopped on and headed down to see the cemetery

The path going up to the cemetery

Trying to take a few pictures before it started pouring on us:/

"Tut! Tut! It looks like rain!!"

(In case anyone wondered, we didn't escape the rain.We got home quite drenched and cold....)

There was a warm fire burning in the fireplace when we got home much to our delight and relief:)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We all loaded up and headed down to the Miller's house after enjoying a week at the property with Uncle Jay, Aunt Ashley and Savannah. We couldn't wait to get there and see our "favorite-cousin-named-Joey":):)

Our lovely hostess

RG.... ummm......enthusiastically telling a story.....:)

Matt listening intently

My "Favorite-cousin-named-Sammy" enjoying his meal:):)

Matthew telling us a story

Wow, it must have been funny.....:)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Joey and I took a walk up to the RV to get the camera.....Obviously, Joe has the camera:)

Rachel and Margaret picked us some greens to have for supper from Aunt Katie's lovely garden. Rachel would be in this picture, but she strongly objected to having her picture taken, so.....here is Deeda picking greens:)
