Our rental lift

Dragging tree limbs out of the way with the JD Tractor.

Beepa and Kaki (note Kaki's shorts she borrowed from Daddy to cover her dress while going up in the lift)

We rented a lift to get tree limbs

trimmed around the yard.

And had alot of help getting the job done.

On Dan's day off he visited a local coal mine and brought me this lighthouse carved out of coal.

We found this box turtle in the road.

After three years we were finally able to get some tree trimming done around the property. Someone had to lift Danny up in the air!

Took a drive on the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Rhodies were just starting to bloom.

Well the summer has brought with it humidity. Yug!

But still getting projects done.

Finishing the deck skirting and adding some rails.

Got a veggie garden in this year and already harvesting tomatoes

and squash. Teresa made salsa and I have been freezeing squash. Got our

pickled beets done and doing our famous dill pickles today.

Maybe cut down a few trees too.

Cortney and Kathy are one step closer with their wedding plans.

And Dan and I are praying for continued work in the future.

Had to make a trip to Whinchester VA. to say good bye to a friend.

We were having lunch at the Shenondoa Musuem and walked their gardens. Very pretty.

Dan turned 50 this year and he got his JD Tractor he's a happy man!>

As this is my favorite way of communicating

I thought its only fitting that we share our

good news with pictures.

On their recent trip to San Fransisco

Cortney Mosholder and Jerry McGovern got engaged.

Jerry talked with Danny just before they left on their trip

And while they were there Jerry popped the question.
