Vacation in Hendersonville - July 2013

We spent 2.5 weeks at our small cottage in Hendersonville, NC. The name of the park has been changed from Twin Ponds to The Village of Wildflowers. And gone are the old trailers and campers and RV's. It is being changed into a beautiful village of small homes. These units are only 10 X 40 ft in size. But they are beautiful. The next few pictures show you what they look like. If you would Google The Village of Wildflowers, you would get a good look at them.

The office area, pool, and club house.

The first four days, Jan's sister Joyce was with us. We then had a week by ourselves. We went to Montreat twice for the church service with the Worship and Music conference. The last week we had Eddie Mack and Joyce with us. The rain came down in bucket loads. All of the Fourth of July activities were cancelled. But I played golf 3 times, read 3 books, and we watched 12 movies. Here are Jan and Joyce enjoying sitting on the porch and looking over the pond.

Father's Day - June 16,2013

What a great Father's Day. Stella came to visit me. And of course, we had to play with the large Legos.

Hey Granddaddy, are you ready to play?

We had just picked up all the Legos from the first round of playing. Well, she decided we needed to start over.

She is now sitting with Daddy and playing with her piano.

She has been outside playing with her wheel barrel.

She was not too excited to swing. This lasted for about one minute.

Now it is time to play in the sprinkler. She has on her one piece bathing suit. She also has a bikini but is saving that for when they go to the beach.

Resting with Grandmother!

This is so much fun.

Marty, why do you have my towel?

More advice from Grandmother.

Momma is catching a few rays!

It was time to rest, again.

Running with Daddy.

35th Anniversary Celebration June 2013

Well, here we are back in Rock Hill for our 35th anniversary celebration with my brothers and wives. Earlier we celebrated Joe and Liz's 45th. The food and fellowship were excellent. After lunch at Long Horns, we had dessert at Dairy Queen. Jan and I celebrated again on our actual date of June 3 at another nice restaurant.

Joe and Liz were getting ready for a trip to Houston to see Liz'z folks.

Eddie Mack was feeling exceptionally good. He did not have a headache today. This was a wonderful blessing. Joyce was pretty as usual.

Brenda and Gary were doing well. They reported that their families were all behaving.

Our waitress was kind to take our group picture.

While in Rock Hill we visited with Matthew's great grandfather. Roy is 101 years old. He held onto Jan's hand and kissed it before we left.

The next three pictures are of our backyard. We converted our small screen porch into a sunroom. Now we can enjoy it year round.

The sunroom.

Come and visit and we will sit outside.

Of course, a visit to Rock Hill must include a visit with Stella.

Stella would go from my lap to Jan's and then back. She was in constant motion.

She has her own play telephone.

She does like to show off every once in awhile.

Mother's Day 2013 in Moore, SC

Grandmother and Granddaddy were so pleased that Stella came for Mother's Day.

And she was such a busy young lady.

Building Lego houses is a real hard job for a little girl.

I think that green is the correct color for the next block.

Lordy, lordy - I am so tired after building such a big house!

This is mommy and daddy. They do not know how to play with Legos.

This is a little bit confusing for me.

Grandmomma is holding the pink pig for me.

Daddy, you are in my way. Please move.

My momma is so pretty. I hope I am as pretty as she is when I grow up. Of course, Granddady thinks that I am beautiful already. He has real good taste.
