Coffee Talk

 Here is how our coffee corner looks for spring. I really like changing the look.

And a little house I put on a kitchen shelf.

Through The Fence Thursday

 What's this?

A car with two humans in it. Entirely too close to my fence and tree! Let me think. What to do?

I know! I'll run out in front of it in a zig zag pattern. Surely that is the safest thing to do!

I'm outta here!

The Party

 After Anne Marie's graduation, there was the party. She shared the party with her cousin Naomi, who graduated at the same time. 

The party was at the YMCA, so some of the kids could play basketball.

Anne Marie's Dad (our son).

The little graduate bottles contained bubble liquid.

Sunday Sunset

 

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.

Luke 4

P.S. Next post will be the party and the answers to your questions about Anne Marie!

Umbrellas & Balloons

 Awhile back, I posted Anne Marie's graduation from Governor's School. Well, last week she graduated from high school! It was outside, and it was cold and drizzling!

We went with her two sisters.

The school orchestra was all ready.

And here come the graduates, walking in to wild applause.

Anne getting her diploma, Honor list, and eight scholarships.

Time to throw their caps in the air. Unfortunately, I only caught two that were airborne!

Through the ceremony, this crow scolded us from the light tops. Next post will be the big party!

Through The Gate Thursday

All of these flowers are behind the fence of a large house two blocks away. The owners are white haired, but still get down on their knees to garden. I would need a crane to get me up!
