So hubby told me today

That one of the kids that came to the reunion had problems in the bathroom because he didn't know how to use a bar of soap.
You read that right.
He didn't know how to use a bar of soap. He's ten.

His mother told us he only uses soap in a squirt bottle, implying that we were remiss by not having any.

Hah!

He should know how to use a bar of soap as far as I'm concerned.

Hubby thinks there is a deer in the neighborhood.

Any of you seen anything like this before?



This is one of the pecan trees we planted a couple years ago. We are hoping it will survive. The damage is pretty bad.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

The reunion

went well.
Had about 50 people, not counting kids. Don't remember all the names, but everyone seemed to have a good time.
A few pictures.

The wading pool was a big hit.

The hay ride was a big hit, too.

Especially when they found a turtle in the pasture.

Some of them saw an alligator in the bayou across the street, too; but didn't get a picture of that.

We managed to have a crawfish boil. About 50 pounds over a couple of hours.

Watermelon is always a hit with kids.

No matter how it's eaten. :-)

One family member is an accomplished wood carver.

This isn't everyone, but this is as many as wanted their picture taken.

Seventeen days until my husband's surgery.
We have a couple of families of swallows nesting in our chimneys. We can hear them talking every now and then.

Have a wonderful week! ♥
