Just a few pictures from the hardworking employees of Lansing Board of Water and Light! It was time for our neighborhood to have some water lines updated so they had to dig DEEP into our yard! It was kind of fascinating to watch!!

We are trying to get a few vegetables out of a small stand up garden and our flowers in the front have been just gorgeous this year!

Hanging tomato plants (they didn't work very well!)
Flowers at the front fence. Aren't they gorgeous??

Well, this is only 2 months late getting posted! I was so blessed to be invited to stay at their house while Sarah was at YW Girls Camp and Jeremy was working and also going to daycamp with Brayden a couple of days. What a time I had! The first day I told Jacob he couldn’t have something….an animal cracker I think…..and I was informed by Rachel that ‘Mommy let’s Jacob have whatever he wants’. I also was told that Rachel can’t have dairy to eat since she was throwing up. Hhhmmmmm…..the things we find out from the kids!! Then David and Rachel ‘made’ a restaurant in Rachel’s room complete with (plastic) food, menus, and an extra wide chair for Gramma! How cute they are! It makes me smile even now when I think of it!!
Jacob showed Gramma he knew how to climb out of his crib! Rachel sang into the window crank at the living room window. Jacob stands with his nose in a corner for his time out. And all the kids, even Jacob, just love to ‘play’ on the computer!

The rest of our ‘runaway trip’

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done any blogging and we have been kind of busy up here in Michigan. It has been a wonderful summer weather-wise. Nice and cool with only a few really hot days (like up in the 80′s). Last blog was our runaway trip to Kirtland, OH and from there we went on down to see Granny and Pappaw Holcomb in West Virginia. Once we left Kirtland we stopped just inside West Virginia at the Fenton Glass Factory and took the tour.

On the way down we came across a wonderful opportunity to do a little shopping! In Mineral Wells, West Virginia we saw this:
Coldwater Creek Clearance CenterColdwater Creek Distribution Center
We stopped and spent about an hour or so and boy, did they have the bargins! I got a couple of outfits and a liquid silver necklace! I’ve always wanted one but they were way out of my price range, but at this clearance center it was like 65% off! Our next stop was at Tamarack in Beckley. We often stop there to stretch, go to the bathroom, and just take a look at all the great stuff they have there! Lots of handicrafts made in West Virginia….some of it is very unusual and all of it is handmade.

We arrived in Bluefield on Friday afternoon, visited Rusty and Rita on Saturday and did a little shopping. Attended church on Sunday and stopped by Rodney’s house on our way home from church.

Rusty in all his glory!

We left early Monday morning and when we were filling up the car Rick realized he had lost his driver license. We called Pappaw to see if we might have left it on the dining room table, but no such luck. So, Rick looked through everything in the trunk, pants pockets, brief case, bags……nothing! So we decided we had better go back the way we came down and stop at the motel where the license was last used when we checked in. We called ahead so they would take a 2nd look in the room and see what they could find. Rick even went to the room himself when we got there, but we couldn’t find the driver license.
I drove the rest of the way home (just in case). And we saw some beautiful Mimosa trees in bloom!

When we got back home we looked again through every bag of dirty clothes, every piece of luggage and still couldn’t find it. A day or 2 after we got back Rick went and got a new driver license and then of course we found his old one under the driver’s seat in the car!! Apparently it had fallen out of his pocket. So now he has 2 licenses!
