“My, so what—what we got to worry about? Why are you walking
along with a long face, like you eat oats, or the bottom of a churn. Why, my,
smile. We’re happy. We’re Christians, and God has ordained us so and has given
Christ for us.”

Here are some pictures from the past couple of months
that have made us 'smile awhile'!
Faith is happy that she got a job at Ace Hardware!
I found this old recipe in a box in my attic.
It's from my mom.
What made me smile was the directions..
Bake 350 til done. haha
Laurisa always smiles when she's with her chickens.
Faith always has a smile!
Did you ever see a chicken smile?
I imagine the farmer didn't smile when he sat on his tractor seat!
My mom fried us up some catfish, corncakes, mashed potatoes, and peas.....boy did we ever smile!
I didn't even notice that the paper towel said smile! ;o)
I put this here 4 and 1/2 years ago....the bark is starting to grow over it.....
Even the rocks are smiling....
We had a green heron in our backyard the other evening!
Last fall I transplanted this sassafras tree from Kentucky and planted it in my yard.
I was smiling this spring when I seen it had survived!
What can you do with a sassafras tree?
Make tea of course!
We hosted a Kentucky Kitchen class for the PA Creations and David and Benjamin were
smiling big when I presented them with real coon skins!
These two eagles were in a big tree behind our property one evening. We were so happy to see them!
(sorry the lighting was bad)
In another PA creations class, we did the everlasting peaks project. We had cherry pie to celebrate
Bro. Branham's birthday.
My very first bed when I was born.
Another visit to Granny Smith's.
That brought a big smile to her face!
See the old water dippers hanging there?
Grandma used to have them at the water bucket to get a drink.
This is her door latch that's on the door to her living room.
SMILE!
An old abandoned house in KY.
This is a woodstove that we had in our kitchen when I was young.
It brought lots of smiles as we got warm
and when mom would pop popcorn on it.
Dad smiling big in this huge field of daffodils.
He likes to plant his hotbed early in the spring
so he can have plants for the garden.
I had to smile when I seen this little ruby throated hummingbird
sneaking in my azalea bush for a quick drink.
This red bellied woodpecker has his home in our front yard.
The female is in there on the nest.
Faith had a big smile on her face when she spotted this
big pileated woodpecker in our backyard yesterday.
Smile! It's an indigo bunting!
On our patio!
I was smiling as I thought of all the wood to keep me warm this winter as Karl was sawing.
He wasn't smiling.......
Grandma's backyard brings smiles to lots of us!
It's filled with Virginia Bluebells!
This brought a smile to my friend's face (who lives in Kentucky) when I gave her this lamp.
I had engraved the Bible verse on the oil lamp globe:
"Let your light so shine"
I engraved an owl on this one.
The oil lamp is actually from my
great grandma Smith so it's really old.
Sorry for such a long post.....
hopefully it helped to put a smile on your face today!
