Promised Pictures

... Not much to blog about.. it was one of those days where I just did routine stuff... while it feels good to have washed down the showers with vinegar and take a load of old VHS tapes to the swap shop, it really doesn't make for exciting blog reading... dinner was from boxes and cans... crafting was finishing up odds and ends...you know the drill...

  One thing I haven't shared is our family summer read... we chose All Quiet On the Western Front  by Erich Maria Remarque.  I highly recommend this book.  We have a set amount to read each week and then have a family discussion on the book each Sunday evening.  Since we all have our own reading too we don't rush it... not a marathon..but something to be absorbed.. We haven't decided if we will watch the movie when we finish the book or not.. sometimes the movie can be so disappointing after the book..if any of you have read the book and watched the movie we are open to opinions...

   Now, yesterday I promised pictures of our Sat.  any day with my 4 boys and an extra bonus of John and Tammy ( Lance's parents) are always a good thing.  Tammy is the sweetest thing and John is HYSTERICAL.. I am so glad to be able to call them family...  They were leaving us to go to a Toby Keith concert with tickets Lance had bought for Tammy before he died... how very special for them...
...It was raining... Josh was more then happy to play in the rain... Jeremy is much quieter and decided to chip golf balls in the rain instead of using the front yard as a slip and slide...

..Pray for the troops... those on foreign soil... and those getting use to life on US soil... that isn't always easy ...Have a fine day...all day long...
