Ginger

How many remembers our beloved pony Ginger?  We got her October 13, 2005, from my brother Billy.  Hannah and Faith sure had a lot of fun over the years with her.  Now Ginger lives with another farm family not too far from us.  We went to visit Ginger today because..........

Ginger became a mommy!   She had the cutest lil' baby named Cookies and Creme!  Here are some pictures of her and Faith and the baby.  By the way, Ginger is about 15 years old and this is her first baby.

Together again


Hannah, Jaylon, and Kyle came for a visit and we were all together again!  We had a wonderful time.  Here is a few things that we did together but mostly we took turns snugglin' Kyle and talking baby talk to him.  He's very sociable.  :o)

I gave Kyle his first piano lesson.




Went to see "Moses" at Sight and Sound.




Kyle getting dedicated.













Isn't the Love of Jesus something wonderful?!

Towers and Trucks

We took a hike on Labor Day and discovered an old stone tower.  People aren't quite sure what it was used for but some say it was used to mine coal from the mountain.  This is located in Stony Valley.  There is lots of history here and if you would like to go to the website for more info click HERE. It was 2.5 miles up the mountain.  We had to follow the red blazed trees to know where the trail was.  The creek at the bottom had so much moss!  I've never seen so much thick moss in one place.  The pictures can't really show how much there were but it was pretty amazing.

Faith and I take turns riding along in the feed truck with Daddy on Saturdays.  We both took pictures and thought you might like to ride along with us.










Finally made it to the stone tower!
Oh, by the way, Karl met up with a couple of rattlesnakes...ahem...so we quickly left and headed back down the mountain!

Faith is ready to take a load out to a farm!

Faith took this picture of daddy, :o)

When I went our first stop was at an Amish farm.

Then we went to a pig and sheep farm.

Making sure it's all out of the truck.

At the next farm, the wife had a business of selling fresh cut flowers.  There were flowers everywhere.  It was beautiful!

Ever hear the expression "eatin' like a pig?"
