Pictures of family visit and a preview of Cortney's graduation pictures

Braden meeting ole Bessie. He wasn't so sure he wanted to pet her.
Mike is massaging Bessie's old hips, she loves this and will stand for
hours letting you do it.

Mike's baby sister, Missy, Braden and Cortney showing them one of

her Americana hens. You can see the turkey toms showing off in the

background.

Braden decided he'd feed Bessie a alfalfa"cookie" Button was acting

shy and stood in the back of her stall.

Mike and Missy in the kitchen mud/laundry room doorway.

If you look in the background you can see the cedar wood we put on the

ceiling in the mud/ laundry room. This cedar( tongue and groove) will be

4 ft up the wall. This room was supposed to be finished before

summer kicked in and then life happened*sigh* It's my hope to get

mudding, taping, sanding, priming, painting done so Mike can finish

the cedar and all the trim work. The pine flooring will need yet another

two coats of varnish and it will be complete.

Cortney, sporting a new hat from her Auntie, Missy( Mike's sister)

and Jon
Another good picture Mike's Mom shared. Notice Jon is standing down

one step, he's 6'1" tall

Cortney sporting some makeup, very natural looking. It's just supposed

enhance your natural beauty!

This is our choice for her graduation pictures,graciously take by

my Aunt Linda( BTW. her blog is Grasshopper Viewpoints)

Although we feel bad she was so pinched for time, stopping

here in route to Kansas to spend time with family and then take

a trip to Paris with the eldest granddaughter. She did a beautiful

job, don't you think?

The flowers in the background are those on our root cellar.
