Adventures with Kate....

Just spent a few days with my sweet sis-in-law, Kate! While she was here we did all sorts of fun stuff: we visited a few lighthouses, went to Monhegan Island, played Mexican Train until midnight and ate a good deal of seafood! It was a lovely visit! Come again soon, Kate.



Say hello to our little friend......

Meet our newest neighbor! He has just moved into a hole behind our house and has been seen on MULTIPLE occasions. This morning we were having a peek into his hole thinking he would be in there when Mr. M heard a sound in the woods behind us! It was the skunk!!! We moved off slowly and he didn't seem to mind that we were there. Catastrophe averted!

Stampin' Up!!!!


I went to my very first Stampin' Up party the other night and it was a ton of fun! I wanted one of everything! Here are the cards we made at the party!

Home again, home again....

We got to go home for the first time in over a YEAR last month! We were only home for a few days and they really flew by. But a great time was had by all and it was definitely worth four days (round trip) of driving.
Our Moms cooked us some of the best food known to man so it goes without saying that I gained about five pounds a day!!!!! (That's what it felt like anyway!)
Here are some pics of us hanging out by the smoker and smelling the brisket!!!
If you have never smelled a brisket smoking then you have really missed out.


Beau, the frisbee expert!

Fried Okra!!!!


I love a good family game of baseball! Our oldest nephew had written up a roster of who would be on each team. If we had played his way, all the men would have been on his team and all the women and small children on the other!!!
I thank the Lord for giving us such wonderful families! We love and miss you guys and can't wait to see you again.
