Flowers, even at the ice cream shop.

So this is how we ended up with chocolate foam.
Thank you Mrs. Brockett for buying us goodies on YOUR birthday.

We don't like goodbyes :(
We were so encouraged on this trip being with so many people that desire to honor the Lord and seek Him diligently.
Every day and night, encouraging messages to search our hearts and seek to live a Holy life before Our Lord.
We cherish each one of you and look forward to when we all get together again.

The first thing that popped into my addled mind on the "campground mothers" pic was..Stephen Foster's, "Campdown ladies sing dis song, Doo-dah, Doo-dah"
Loved the post, Pollocks. We look like a happy bunch of people out there enjoying God's beautiful creation. I simply LOVED the cherries!! What a harvest!!Too bad we missed those mischievous Darts. Maybe they will come visit in January? Campdown ladies come on down, Doo-dah, Doo-dah...Going to sing all day, going to sing all night....ok sorry, I get carried away sometimes. Love yall:)
Mrs. Stokesies, back in the south, praying for a cool front:} Loved that New York sweater weather>>====

Just so happens I was thinkin of that same song, but I wasn't sure if it was a bad song or not, cause I couldn't remember all the words. As they say, "Great minds think alike" :)

And about the cool front, well, tonight we're getting some breeze, so atleast the heat is moving around. It's better than nothin. I can bet ya 100% that the cool front won't be coming, but hey, God is a God of miracles, so He can do anything.

Love youin,
Your Java Bud
