New Signage

Our new Versatile sign arrived; I was very nervous while the guys unloaded it. It would not have been good if they broke it before we had the chance to install it! We'll have to wait for a slow week to put it up.

Slowly But Surely

BEFORE

AFTER

I've been painting the wicker furniture on our patio; it's taking MUCH longer than I anticipated. I've got more to go, but it's rewarding to finish part of it.

Going to the Birds!

We generally have lots of birds on our property, but lately we've been having unusual activity. Guinneas frequently come to eat in our yard; usually they are happy to keep their feet on the ground! This past week we had a hawk on the patio. He sat there for a few minutes before flying off.

Eva & Aubrey

I'm a litte LATE, but a few weeks go Aubrey and I went to Wichita Falls for errands and fun. We went by to visit Sheri; her granddaughter, Eva was visiting. It was pretty funny watching the girls. They are both dramatic and acted like they'd known each other for years with hugs and all.

Just Hanging a Mirror !!

A couple of hours after I arrived in Tucson Bob and I decided to remove the mirror squares from Mom's bathroom, because she made the comment that she'd like to someday move the large mirror from the living room to the bathroom. Well it went from bad to worse as we pulled squares off and the wall came with it and then we found mold, etc. etc. We worked so hard! We kept filling rubbish cans and hauling them to the alley to pour into the dumpster. When we began, the dumpster was completely empty. When we finished, it was completely full. We got to the point of putting up new walls; Bob did most of the work, because I was at a loss when it came to cutting sheet rock and installing beams. I began applying joint compound to most of one wall, when I had to return home on Sunday morning and leaving the rest for poor Bob to finish! I felt so GUILTY. Mom says she'll never make a comment about wanting to hang something again. However, Bob and I decided that it's really all Lyn's fault, because she gave Mom a picture. That's what started Mom thinking about moving the mirror so that she could have room to hang the picture!!

Tucson Beer Festival

I traveled to Tucson on Friday Sept 18th so that I could attend Tucson's Beerfest. Although I'm not a big beer drinker, I wanted to see the fruits of Mom's labor. It's the largest fundraiser that Sun Sounds radio has, and Mom coordinates it. My nephew, Christopher, went with Mom and I. We stayed for two hours, tried several different types of beer, ate a variety of foods, and generally had a really good time.

Labor Day

Saturday evening we all went to Leah's house for a cookout. It was so much fun. John and Dona ,up from Houston, Konnor and Cameron were down from Duke, Brian and Diane were down from Weatherford, and all of us Seymour people were there. Lyndon and little Carl played in the tree fort and in the back of Cody's service truck. Aubrey had most of us taking turns jumping on the trampoline; we all gave out before she did.

Leah cooked a fabulous meal of country pork chops (I'd never heard of them before), potatoes with a cheese sauce, beans, cobbler, ice cream... It was a feast!

John and Cody were acting very silly as you can see from the photo.

I was trying to take a photo of the three kids with the pedal Versatile tractors; I want to use it on our website. I took approx. 25 photos; it's hard to get all three looking and smiling at the same time!
