~~APRIL TRIP~~











I finally figured out how to download our photos to the computer !! So I can post about our trip to Arkansas. We did have a lot of fun with the kids and Shawn and Bekah. It was good to share Phebe's birthday with her. We don't often get to the grand kids birthdays. Everyone is always so busy or too far away. Phebs really enjoyed her birthday Fondue party. Good Stuff !Phebe's baptism was special, she was so pretty and happy. It was good to see the Westons again. They are such great people, as are all of our 'in-laws' parents. We thank them for raising such awesome men and woman.
We enjoyed the 'Crater of Diamonds' too. Just a big field of plowed up earth and lots of rocks!!
It was fun and we look forward to going back someday. Maybe take a couple of days to search for whatever we can find. It would be fun to find a diamond, but just digging in the dirt is good for the soul. Did you know you can dig for Emeralds in Montana?? Hahaha
We hit a few Antique Shops along our way home. I pick-up some old embroidered hankies and scarves to add to my new wall-quilt pattern. Now, I just need to get with it and get it done. Darwin wanted to check out the 'Texas Steak House' in Amarillo, Texas. It was quite the place, huge, and the food was delicious!
It was good to get away, but also good to be home again. Talula was really glad to see us. Even though she gave us the cold shoulder for a few days.
