A Quick Trip

Dad informed us on Sunday night that we were going on a trip the next day. Momma needed to get some business things done, so we decided to leave on Tuesday morning. All we knew is that we were going tractor hunting to Kentucky. We didn't know, but dad did, that we were going to the Creation Museum, also, and whatever other adventures we could find along the way. We never know when we'll have a break in work to take a vacation, until the day comes, so we've learned to be ready quick so we don't miss out on any fun!!

Enjoy the pix



At 6:00 a.m., We were all packed and ready to hit the road:)

Gabriel and Thomas.

We have our "junk food" and we're happy!!

The BIG yard sale!!


Hello Folks,
Sorry it took sooo long to post. Things have been quite busy lately.
We will start with the oldest post first and hopefully in the next couple of days, we will be caught up to the present.

Enjoy


We planned a yard sale to raise money for Mrs. Stokes, to help with the bills, since she was unable to work due to her accident. Many gracious families gave of their goods for this event. It took many hours of preparation, but the LORD prevailed in the end as HE always does and $600 + was raised. Thank you LORD!!

The garage where the goods were stored. Most of it has been moved out in this pic.

The pole barn where the goods were set-up for the sale.



Liv, taking a little break with her "friend". Ahhhh




Who's that hiding behind that book, not working!! Actually she worked very, very hard!! Thank You, Mrs. Graves



Mrs. Stokes with her grateful spirit. What a joy she is.


Mrs. Graves, how could you?? By the way, what did you do??

A little refreshing music while we work.


Having fun with pots and lids (strange). It's not all work.



Do these people EVER take a break!!!


Organizing the tables




What in the world is this?




Who is this and who let her in?? Sale is tomorrow!!



More tables, more organizing



The cashiers



All proceeds go to Mrs. Stokes. All leftovers go to Mr. Graves.



And the sale was a success!! Thank you to all!!!
