Not exactly sure what this is! We couldn't decide if it was a storm cloud or a dust funnel. We finally come to the conclusion it was a fire, well smoke from one anyway! This was some where in the foreign land of Arkansas!

Chili Relanoes and fried mushrooms!! Defiantly something to do again! YUMMY YUMMY !!

Homemade donuts. Although they don't look as tasty as my dear sisters (Kris) they were still pretty good! At least Mike acted like they were! Lol

My beautiful family!!

The trading for the bus did not go through. The bus was in way worse shape than we first thought. We did sell the VW though and bought another car that has both heat and air. Lol. We were also able to purchase a 84 suzuki sj410 this will allow us to park the big truck (Ford F350) while we are at home and save us quite a bit on our fuel bill. It will also be a fun toy for hunting, fishing and mudding! We are still planning on the purchase of a bus in the future whenever God allows and sees fit for us to make that change. His timing is always Perfect! Im learning more every day how to put my trust totally in him! And oh boy! What a trip!!

Happy Birthday to me! It isnt till the 25 but im gonna make it last all month long if I can!! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Hello and a very hot early morning! I am still awake I do believe I have caught my dear sister-in-laws insomnia! Lol. No to be truthful we came in after church tonight, well last night I guess I should say, after an overnight stay in Murfreesboro to a seized air-condition fan motor! ( a run on sentence to say the least, my senior English-Lit teacher would NOT be happy!! Or Sis Cricket!) I was feeling pretty sorry for myself then I considered how blessed I really am! I at least have several fans unlike some of our new made friends. A local Amish family! Speaking of which I am pretty excited about a bartering deal I have made with them. Their green beans and potatoes are coming in sometime this week and we are going fishing some morning hopefully this week. So we have made a trade of fish for fresh garden veggies!! I am delighted!! The pics of water color paintings I posted afore are all some of my own original works. (that sounds pretty important eh? Lol!) But nonetheless they are all for sale if anyone would be interested. The unfinished one can be finished. I am asking $15- $30 for them depending on which one. All the proceeds will go the building of our new home! We are in the process of, for various reasons, changing our mode of transportation and living quarters ( which we call Home!). We are in the final stages of trading for a 40 ft silver eagle bus. That we plan to convert into custom living quarters for our family! I am both excited and looking forward to starting this part of our journey! Maybe I'll do better about keeping you updated on this project than I did my car! Lol! Pictures are much easier to blog from an I-Phone than a long post like this one! But lucky for you all, I'm both hot and not sleepy! Well I wasn't sleepy but I've laid still long enough I've cooled off and my eyes seem to be getting heavy! Pics only until another attack of insomnia and hopefully no more tore up AC parts! Smiles and prayers from ours to yours! The T. P. W.
