Valentine's Day

I thought Valentine's would just be another day. Boy was I wrong!

About 10:30am I see Keannon and Kashton walk into my office. Kashton is carrying a vase with a dozen roses! He was smiling from ear to ear!

I asked if this was his idea and he said "yes". I went on to say "I hope you did this for your mother" to which he replied "and my sisters too!"

Wow! I was impressed!

I proudly displayed them on my desk! 

Not long after that my husband walks in with flowers! 

I laughed and said "your grandson beat you to the punch". However, I still gladly received them. 😉

Here they are together! So pretty! I definitely felt loved!

When I got home Doyle and I went down the street to the kid's restaurant for lunch. Keannon, Kennedy and Kashton were just about to leave. They stayed to visit while we ate lunch. Good time! 

Have a good one!

Too Pretty 02.01.24

 Who would have thought it would be in the 60's in February?! I had to take advantage of it. I decided to ride. It has been way too long.

I don't think Fancy enjoyed it as much as me this time. She seemed very nervous and jittery. She really worked herself up into a lather! 

I did enjoy it but I must say it wasn't the relaxing ride I had hoped for.

She took a roll in the dirt as soon as I turned her loose!

It has been a very mild winter. We had one severe cold snap that only lasted 3 days.

Although the drought is better we still are in need of significant rainfall. Our water source is at 38% and it won't be long before the days are much warmer and evaporation will be greater.

A friend and I went to our water source Lake Palo Pinto and prayed. We are standing on the boat ramp.

Have a good one!

Coronation 01.27.24

Mineral Wells High School hosts a Coronation every year. It is a formal event. This was the 96th year!
Kennedy was invited by her cousin (Krystal) to attend this year.

I can't believe how grown up Kennedy looks!

She is so beautiful!

I think I like this one the best.

Her cousin Krystal is in the blue dress.

Time slow down!

Have a good one!

Destiny's Wedding 01.13.2024

Niece Destiny and fiance, Ryan, got married on Saturday January 13th in Fredericksburg. It was a quaint rural wedding venue. The Arctic front held off until after the wedding. It was still cool enough the wedding was moved indoors.

I'm really falling down on the  job of taking pictures. I hardly took any photos at Destiny's wedding! Shocking I know. 
What few I took were not very good. 

Some of the photos I'm sharing I took from Facebook so you may have already seen them.

It was a beautiful ceremony and Destiny was a beautiful bride.

I love this picture!

The reception area. There was a good crowd.

The wedding theme was "Lord of the Rings". Ryan and Destiny cutting their cake with a sword.

The lighting was horrible for taking photos.

Destiny wanted to dance with cousin Aaron (he's actually my cousin but 2nd's and 3rd's get confusing for me). He is the son of my Uncle Alan (Dad's youngest brother). Aaron and his daughter, Vera came all the way from Missouri for the wedding. That was pretty special!

Mom, Doyle and I stayed in a cottage on the grounds of the venue.

This is what you see when you walk into the door.

This is looking the other way opposite the fireplace.

This is the bedroom Mom stayed in. We stayed in the other.

The Bathroom was in between the two bedrooms.

When Keannon and Vanessa got there, Friday we went to dinner with them while mother was at the wedding rehearsal and dinner.

Saw some wild turkey Saturday morning. Also saw several deer Friday evening but didn't get any pictures of them.

When we left Sunday morning it was 17 degrees! The Arctic blast had made it!

Have a good one!
