A HIKE AROUND LAPHAM PEAK......

       This afternoon a group of us took a short hike around an historic site known as
                                               LAPHAM PEAK.

     The temperature was still high and humid and there were several young children (and one grandma) so we hiked only about an hour.  It was another opportunity for family to enjoy each other's company.

        " 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved---you and your household.' Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him an to all the others in his house."  (Acts 16:30-31)

 



Off to the Midwest......Wed.......

When is a wildflower garden, not a wildflower garden? 

If a stitch in time saves nine, will a weed pulled small save time?  (It took me several years to figure out the meaning of  "a stitch in time saves nine"/nine what?)

I thought I could grow a wildflower garden instead of pulling all those things with little flowers.  Nice Try. The community inspection folks called them weeds.  It would have been much easier to spray earlier in the spring, but Grandma G was too busy with other activities.  My "yard" is all small gravel.  It is suppose to be easier to maintain.  WRONG. 
Before I left for more adventures I had to pull at least the high growing "weeds"  The temperature the past several days has been hot, but fortunately this morning it was cool, so a half hour work cleaned things up.

       Next it was off to the airport, but late.  We would have missed our flight, except for a kindly rep who came to the back and lead us past 100 people to the front for check in.

AUSTIN GOING HOME TO WISCONSIN.

    ON A LARGE INTERNATIONAL PLANE

 

        There were flight delays in Atlanta so we finally took off at midnight rather than 9PM.  With not getting to bed until 2AM central time we slept in on Thursday.  Angie and her friend treated us to breakfast/lunch at Stir Crazy, a restaurant where you pick your ingredients and they stir fry it for you.    I had veggies, chicken and flat rice noodles.  Yum.

Kitty, KitKat,
"Is that all the food I get?"

 This has been a good 2 "travel and settle in" days in the life of Grandma G.

     "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.  Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise?" (Psalm 106:1 &2)
