Family photos

 

A few snapshots from my recent so. Cal. visit. Finally got to meet baby Asher, and see what Dylan and Stacey have done to the Oakbrook Street house. 

 

Two of my favorite ladies!

And two lovely young ladies!

Rachey Ray

John and Rach decided to come to work with me this week!  Besides catching a slew of fish, she is taking two classes at the local community college-- Calculus and Accounting and working full time as a paid intern at an event planning company in town.  She's putting her toe in the water to find out if this is what she wants to do when she graduates (event planning-- not fishing).  She's something!  : )

John's backyard birding!

We have a bluebird family reside in the house he built for them-- you can see if you look real close in the woods-- they love the worms he provides.  When friends come over for some porch time,  the conversation always starts with stories about the birds.  Wow, life is much different here!!  Wonderful!

Chickering Lane

A year or so ago I finished our little courtyard-- it's happy right now with the Annabelle Hydrangeas just about ready to bloom.  I wished y'all could be here with me having a cup of coffee and enjoying the birdies sing-- speaking of birdies, I'll post a picture of John's back yard birding contraption. : )

I so enjoyed seeing Joan's Alaska pictures (I didn't realize anyone still signed on to this blog)-- so I'll update some of the recent goings on with these Perrys.  For me...Jeff's farm still has me busy these days-- it's grown and filled in so nicely, and those pesky weeds always provide job security.  He's thinking of having some weddings there so I've been doing extra work.  I'll take some pictures next time I go.  Here are a few pictures from a job I did a year or so ago, and I'm just now taking some pictures.  It was a new construction home with all kinds of challenges-- but the owner was happy with the outcome, so i'm happy.
