Another week flies by!

We enjoyed opening an MRE that was a gift from one of Mean Ol' Mama's college students. What's inside? Wow! Look at all of this food and extras packed in such a small container!
The taste? Well, it's a good thing that a small hot sauce was included for the vegetarian burger...
Branch showed us his [not-too-pretty] baby pigeon. He's really excited about possibly racing this new generation.
Mean Ol' Mama's friend came for a visit. She follows a macrobiotic diet and thought to share her "wealth" with M.O.M. She's a gutsy, brave, beautiful lady.
She brought a gift of split pea, real corn bread from freshly grated corn and tofu, and seaweed (that's now half gone! Yummy!), and a pressed salad of collards with butternut squash.
Three young friends joined us for prayer time next door last Friday night. We really enjoyed the music together.
The Senior 4H Team placed third in Land Judging. This was the first time the three members competed in this category, so we're really proud of them.
Poppins took the boys to a firing range to try out their big guns. It was loud out there!


Josiah enjoyed his 13th birthday and received many special gifts, including this .22 to add to his collection. He's really looking forward to hunting this year.
Another gift? Who's M.O.M.'s favorite kid now? Is that a bag of chocolates?
Sunday evening we cooked hot dogs in a migrant camp. It was sooooo hot! The boys found a convenient place to rest and eat.

Another busy week a'coming...
