Sensational Sunday

It was a good day!.  I'm sure you know what I mean when I say the kind of day that you want to blog about.  Anyway, it started out the same as most Sundays do with church.  We went out for lunch which is super rare.  Then I went home for a nap and the children, even Patience, actually let me sleep.  Once I was up  I had to finish homework and then out in the garden with the kids.   We picked blackberries off of the unexpected vine by the back porch.  I had plans of making a pie but, tiny fingers were in and out of them until there was just a cup or so left.  I guess they will go in tomorrow's bowls of oatmeal.   It was awesome to see the younger three trying to catch a lightning bug and the flash of memories of how many times I had done the same in the Mississippi summer.  Tomorrow is a new day with new adventures I'm sure but, for today... It was one sensational Sunday.

A Hill of a Train Ride

So, yeah I know it's been a while but, better late than a non blogger. We have been super busy this summer. One thing that was very fun that we did was went on a train ride. lol and not like you think. A friend of ours from church took an entire year building his train track and a friend of his brought his train over and we were invited for a ride. We had cousins D and K with us as well and we were super excited about the fact that the train could haul all six Hills (yeah I rode too), two Halls, the train conductor and the train track builders 5 yr old grandson. Well enough of words here is the proof.





Look at the detail!! The entire thing is a handmade work of art. Jimmy says he has found his retirement hobby for sure.


I'll try not to be a stranger,
