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.

 

 

Serious Happenings

Josiah and Stennes were honored with an invitation to Georgia's Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black's (in the center below) private barn in north Georgia for a cook-out / press conference. They were two of ten 4-H students chosen from the whole state, and they were the only two invited from the same county! What an honor! They had a great time rubbing elbows with agriculture "big wigs"!

Anders has been helping Pop finish up some oxen yokes and other "shop" jobs.

Pop and ChubChub have been working on pens such as these in the photo below. Aren't they beautiful?

Finishing Our Week

ChubChub turned his first pen on the lathe while Pop watched and instructed. He's pretty proud of himself!
