Field Trip Day….Yea

Friday Rocket Man was home from his new job in Florida and we planned a trip to Table Rock.  It’s a short drive and I’m wanting to get my fill of all this beautiful country before we leave it for Florida.  I’m sure there will be lots of adventures there but the Foothills of SC are just gorgeous.  Especially in the spring and fall.  Summers are spent at the lake playing with our friends, The Harris’.

So Friday we visited a small place and saw The Rock Man, The Glass Lady, The Reptile Man, and had the best ice cream and hamburgers we’ve had in a while.

Most of the pictures were taken in Rock Man’s shop.  We spent hours in there.  He’s such a great guy.  Last week he came to our Classical Conversations Group and gave a presentation on rocks, crystals and minerals.

I had the camera for a bit but then it was taken out of my hands and my youngest son took pictures.  He did a pretty good job.

One of our favorite parts was being introduced to the pocket flute (tin whistle but wooden).  We purchased two while there.  I love the sound of Rocket Man’s.  It’s so beautiful……

So here’s our day in pictures…


Just for fun…..can you name any of these???









I took this looking through a glass kalidiescope.   It turned out so cool.

My son took this photo.  I loved the way he saw the light and photographed it.  Maybe I’ll raise a photographer yet.


I admit, our house is crazy.  Some seem so calm but ours is wild.  But every once in a while God will give me a glimpse of what I’m trying to teach them……to love and look out for one another.  Here baby girl gets a lift up to see the flavors of icecream available to try.


Lovely without makeup…….Rocket Man, me and the new flute.




Looks fun, huh?
It was.  We hope to go back soon.


So What Do You Think?

New blog design…..
kinda like new clothes.  It fits me perfectly now.

Dad, she’s not a bit like me is she?




And here’s Son#2 enjoying a GIANT ice cream!

Happy Humpday!


A Wild Ride

These days I sometimes feel like my head is spinning.
My husband leaves in 2 days for our new home in Florida.
I wonder what life is going to be like with 4 kids and one parent again.  When he used to travel it didn’t phase me.  Now that he’s been home for a year I’m feeling a little "yikes".
So pray for me if God leads.
And for the home in Florida he has for us.
We lived in rural SC for so long.  I think the setting suits us.
My birthday is tomorrow……45.
When did we get old?


Poor neglected blog

Recently I can’t think of anything to blog about, nor do I think about my blog.
Life is crazy with getting the house ready to sell, looking at houses in Florida, and missing my hubbie already who will be gone the day after my birthday.
 

My best friend may come visit this weekend.

Daylight saving has me up at 6 since it’s really 7.

We made it to church on time yesterday.

We sold our truck.

Rocket Man wants a jeep.  After all, we’ll be in Florida.
This one’s kinda cool

Of course girl’s ideas of jeeps and boys ideas of jeeps often differ.

I turn 45 on Friday.  Yikes, where does time go.
Any donations for a face life?????
