Birthday Girl Today!!

 

 

Today is our Granddaughter Amanda's 20th birthday! Amazing...where do the years go? One minute you're in a birthing room watching a beautiful baby girl entering this world! And then "she" is no longer a teen, but a young woman turning 20!!! How awesome is that? God is so good to us! 

 

 

 

Here is another picture from the other day when we were down by the Pavilion, which is by the river..what a beautiful setting..smile...

 

And another view. Can't you just see a big wedding going on up there under the pavilion? smile...

 

 

And last but not least...we saw something going on across the river..so I told Tom I'll zoom my camera in and see what it was. Well, guess what? It was a dog show... and we never heard a thing about it! Darn, we could have entered "Rusty" in the competition and he probably would have won! smile.. What do you think??

 

Hope you're having a wonderful week...

In The Heat of the Day....

I promised you some pictures from down by the river...and what a perfect day to share them..it is very warm here. This first picture is of the Anderson Dance Pavilion...it is beautiful! (And look who helped build it...my Tom!) When we went by Sunday..someone was having a party in it. Yes, from weddings to outside church services... We use to hold our MS Walks there also. It looks like Tom helped build this 21 years ago...and it still looks wonderful!!! (Even survived the flood of 2011!) smile...

Boat flying down the river.........

 Meeting up with friends on the river.......

 Another one flying down river..........

They look like their floating down the river....smile..(but I think their actually buzzing down the river...smile..)

You always hear me talking about the "South Bottoms" (where Tom grew up) and this monument is on the river front also! 

We spotted this shell of a Model A (?) and I wanted a picture of it. So Tom did a u'y (or should I say a u turn) and drove back and stopped in front of it so I could get this picture...smile....Isn't he just the sweetest? Of course when we do these things we're always sure we are safe and not causing any traffic issues..smile..

Did you have a nice day? I'm sure it's HOT all over the U.S., and only going to get worse...so sad. We need to take a moment and pray for all those who are afflicted by this heat and humidity. And of course those states that have the wildfires. I believe this is the worst I've ever seen... Father, hear our prayers...

"The Many Thoughts of Grace"

April 14, 1940: It was such a nice day 85 degrees. Mrs. Schopp came down about 4:00. We went up to Dairy. Saw Vincent M. Baby had his first ice cream. Mrs. S. gave him a pair of coveralls.

(BTW: Mrs. Schopp is Jack's mother. smile..)
