Thank you all for your condolences and encouragement as we grieve the passing of Tony's dad. We are all doing well, as the Lord comforts us as He promised. I know those times will come when we think of him, or Tony says he gonna ask his dad something or have the first Father's Day without him or the first Christmas. It's going to be hard at times. Tony has a great attitude about it all.

We all went out to the farm yesterday afternoon just to do something "normal" for a change, and of course carried Tony's mom with us. We're trying to keep her busy. She's doing better remembering about her husband. Adam and Pop (my dad) went fishing yesterday and caught 17 good eatin' size bass. So we had a fish fry and overindulged. (My puffy ankles are evidence to that today - all that good salty fish and fries and hushpuppies.)

We can't hardly look at the farm without thinking of Bepa. His family were the original owners and now it's been passed down to us. He was always so anxious to see what projects we were doing while we were restoring the house, and clearing and digging the garden. He loved to ride around in the truck and look at the land. My husband likes to quote Jett Rink on the movie "Giant" and say, "you can ride around on this land all day long and never see it all". We have only 78 acres, but he still likes to say it. The next project was for Tony and his dad to go buy a tractor and build a tractor barn. I guess Tony will be doing that alone. I know he'll be thinking about his dad.

Well, anyway, I couldn't let this photo pass ya'll up. After supper last evening, we were all sitting on the front porch enjoying our redneck entertainment for the evening. "You might be a redneck if..." (I'll let the photo speak for itself - )
