Smiles around

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? Scott Gatewood invited Avery to his Prom in Highland Ar.

New Toy

You know...alot of stuff doesn't happen at the Birdhouse. Matter of fact, I find us plain boring. But every now-and-then, something small happens to make our day. Our neighbors gave us their "old riding lawnmower". It had been sitting by their house all winter, not covered-up or had any care. So we weren't sure if it was even fixable...but Ralph thought it would be a good project for him and Morgan (who's summer job is lawnmowing) to work on. So Avery took the carburetor to Powell's true value (her job) and rebuilt it with some help. Then we took the lawnmower to the
shop to see if it was even worth fixing. For less than $120 bucks, we got a "
brand" new mower.....from the pictures I hope you can tell how excited Ralph is....LOL ....he really is, he's just concentrating.

Katie's Big Catch

So Ralph's brother Mike and his wife Katie came and visited us for a day. Just to give you an insite to their lifestyle, I will let you know they are retired, and are Cruisers...Not car "cruisers", but sailboat kind. Off the California/Mexico coast. Their goal is to sail around the world. Not for me, but great for them. Days on the boat, floating in a HUGE body of water, that has things in it that could swallow you up....like I said not for me. Anyways, had a great time with them, took them to the overlook at the Damn in Lakeview. Katie is such a hoot....She's in a sea of big fish, but we got a pic of her with a world record from our part of the country. Afterwards we went to Gaston's and had a great meal....Thanks Uncle Mike.
