Did someone say cake and ice cream?
Can't have a party without balloons
A wrist corsage from Aunt Missy and she also supplied the balloonsand two beautiful flowering plants for the tables.
Isn't it beautiful?
Matched her dress beautifully.

Mom)
Our very special and of course favorite cousin, Jaylee. She came all
the way from ND with Grandma Nita and Papa Leroy for Cortney's
BBQ
Friends, neighbors all catching up on how everyone's summer has
gone.
Joe and Lisa, we've been blessed to get to know them both better.
Joe has helped us out more than once with our cows, supplies us with
straw and even gifted us a bum calf to raise up for beef.
Everyone enjoying a chance to visit and catch up a bit.
Our zinnias by the back door. I've mentioned this before, but a friend
swapped seeds with us this Spring, thanks Dawn! I'm waiting to
harvest seed for next season.
Cortney's snake gourd. It's in a pot and growing extra slow, so not sure
if it will get big enough to save.
Poor Tuffy and Casino, they were shut in our room during the party.
They are both terrible beggars and I still worry about Tuffy around kids.
Casino peering down the driveway as the last guest leaves. He
REALLY loves people and he missed all the excitement this time.
This morning, Cortney woke up with a head cold. Her nose is running
like a faucet. She's helped me get laundry folded, Mo's corral cleaned
and has rested, drinking elderberry/ echinachia tea, lots of water and
1000mg of natural vitamin C.
I decided I'd get some of last seasons tomato sauce used up, so
started a large pot of Spaghetti sauce, for canning. The house smells
wonderful, and guess what's for supper? I think I'll get about 10 qts.
from this batch. I'm being stingy with the tomato sauce, because so far
this season, we've only have two or three dozen ripen and of course not
all at the same time*sigh*
Well, it's evening chore time, Mike will be driving in in 30-40 minutes
and I need to slice the bread for garlic toast yet.
Have a blessed evening everyone :o)

What a Grand Graduation Party! WOW!
How nice that so many came and came from so far away! She must be loved a lot by everyone! and your flowers and Mo look so nice! We have to put Lincoln up too when we have a party, not because he's bad, but because he won't leave the kids alone. He tries to herd them away from the pool and is always looking for dropped food. It's just easier to keep him behind the gates so he can watch but not attend. lol ...debbie
Looks like everyone enjoyed the party. I love the pictures of your animals too. Thanks for the call yesterday. It opened my eyes to a lot of things. "wink"
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Lovely photos of the party. Love the photos of "sad dog" looking down the driveway as the last guest leaves. Aren't pets the greatest! Love the zinnias such nice colors.
Have a nice weekend. Dogwood
What a great party; looks like everyone had a wonderful time. Congrats to the new graduate; may the worst of your future be from the best of your past. God Bless You.
