Wedding – Sheri Helmuth and Sam Horst

My sister Sheila checks in on Coleen and me as we sautéed lots and lots of onions and sweet bell peppers to add to the rice for the reception.

Here comes the bride … my niece Sheri.

I stood afar and zoomed in to get pictures during the photo shoot before the wedding.

Sam and Sheri are now Mr. and Mrs.

Congratulations and Best Wishes!

Life and Quilting at Antebellum Homes

Life …

Georgi lovin’ up on Clyde

Follow the Yellow Book Road

“Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so.”

Reaching for the bubbles

It’s just about time for Sunday School!

“Curious George” is entertaining.

Ashton ask me to make a John Deere cake for his mama’s birthday.

And “Curious George” keeps on entertaining.

…as a Quilter

Brenda and I enjoyed an afternoon together at “Ole Magnolia” antebellum home in Columbus, MS.

Edwina (Mother Goose from the library) provided background music for guests that came to tour the home.

Another day I quilted with Ebba and Judy at “Bren Bella.”

Ebba and I enjoyed the tour with other guests.

This young girl told us about the library.

The owner, Keith shared interesting facts about the upstairs bedrooms.

During our tour, from the balcony above we could see Judy quilting.

The live oak tree in the front yard is around 275 years old.

Back to life … we were invited to Paul’s sister, Jeanie and Galen’s for supper.

My cousin, Carl and Grace were here from SC to visit their daughter Karla & Jason & family.

Laura played ‘scoot the car’ with the children.

Life and Teryn’s Quilt

With some leftover concrete, the farm help adds on to the approach to the pump house. Kirby and Stacy look on.

We visited Gabe and Dana’s ‘Old McDonald’s’ farm this evening.

Most of the blocks for Teryn’s quilt are now finished and ready to be sewn together.

Life, Guests, Teryn Ray’s Quilt

Life …

Angie’s folks, Greg & Irene, and her sister, Renee came to visit Craigs and see their new grandson, Josiah. Tina was more interested in Harold and the Purple Crayon than she was getting her picture taken.

… as a Quilter

I’m starting now on Teryn Ray’s quilt.

I've started making his name now, TERYN RAY. You can check it out here.

Ben Graber Family Get-Together in Eufaula, Alabama

… and it’s all because of her!

We walked across the road from our cabin to get a glimpse of a small portion of the “Little Grand Canyon.”

I think Josey was just being Josey!

   

It’s a long way to the bottom just across that little flimsy board of a fence.

Then we drove to Providence Canyon State Park for more adventures.

Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon.”

“Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet were caused simply by poor farming practices during the 1800s, …” (http://gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon)

Some of us hiked to the bottom of the canyon.

These ‘serious’ hikers decided to go for the 3 mile trail, while the rest of us went back the 1/4th mile we had come.

See those little people at the bottom of the canyon? That’s where the ‘serious’ hikers ended up.

We waited at the visitor’s center for the ‘serious’ hikers to get back.

Later some of the men decided to go hunting for wild hogs.

Randy is getting in that last phone call before it’s time to sit still and be quiet.

Dorcas brought a rooster for Jeanie to take home. Jeanie wasn’t as fond of him and had a hard time loving him like Dorcas did.

The rooster did his job and woke us up … even when he wasn’t supposed to.

“Like father, like son!”

While the hunters were gone some of us played “Corn Hole.”

Josey and Jerrill keep score.

Too bad the Acadia doesn’t use diesel fuel.

Happy 80th Birthday, Daddy!

Mom enjoys one of their 30 great grandchildren.

We took turns fixing meals and had a very nice kitchen in which to work.

Singing the songs of the Church and heaven was a precious time together.

I’m so thankful to be grafted in to this wonderful family.
