Happenings

The Girl participated in a "food bank foods" cooking contest. We'll know more about it in a few weeks.

The big news is that we were able to travel to Minnesota for my good father in law's funeral. It was a time to be with family and friends. You can see the funeral (including The Girl playing and the boys singing) at YouTube, Lowell Austinson.

July 10

Chub shot a squirrel. Pretty gruesome, but these little things critters are becoming destructive. Plus, they're edible, too. Fried squirrel, anyone?

 This rogue sweet potato sure has become a pretty plant. It won't last much longer, but it's amazing how an old sweet potato can produce such beautiful leaves.

 Pop's roosters are becoming more intricate. He has added beads to his latest collection.

Trying a New Angle

I'm using my Ipad to upload to my computer to upload to this blog. Haven't been here for quite a while, but I've had many requests to return, so we're giving this a try. This summer has been busy, with yummy food, lots of good friends, and great times.

This is an experiment post. Please let me know if it worked for you. If not, we'll stick with Facebook and Instagram.

Saturday Morning

This fearless girl decided to make fried mushrooms just because she wanted to. She's mighty fun (and fattening) to be around...

 

Busy Week

Stennes' high school graduation cake was full of ice cream and yumminess

The boys participated in prom this year and looked spiffy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silly Stuff

The Girl and ChubChub had it in their minds to make tortillas from scratch. Yummy!

Can she possibly get any taller?

Finer Things

Branch, Josiah, and Anders participated in the school's end-of-the-year performance. Anders and another student emcee'd the event and did a fabulous, entertaining job.

 

Branch played in the Advanced Strings group (back row, right hand side).

Josiah and Anders sang the song that won them First Place at state for Men's Quartet.

 

 

Josiah also played bass (center stage, in front of the screen) while Branch played violin (right side, back row) and Anders sang (left side, in tuxedo).

There was a very large crowd that filled the whole auditorium, which is partially pictured below.
