Just catching up finally!

Yeah, so I'm not so good at this blogging thing ... would love to get it up and running and more current, but right now I'm trying to deal with getting the Family Scrapbook Albums caught up, so ... well, we'll see if I can't get both done!  Here's a few pictures from March ...

This first one was a picture I took of a truck in Ventura - reallly?  1800DogPoop?!  

Yup, you saw it here!  People are strange aren't they?!  

And, Bob got a shipment of his favorite red stuff ...

Matthew trying out the trombone, and doing a little fencing!

A nice glass of champagne for my birthday, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers ♥

A trip to Yosemite for Matthew's Spring Break ...

A trip to visit Ellie Belly Jelly ...

First, she helped G'ma Lisa brush her teeth.

Then, she hung out with Uncle Matt while she had a bite to eat.

And, because that was all a lot of work, she took a little snooze ...

And, finally, a few pampered pooches ...

That's about it for now! 

St. Stephen's Anglican Church

As of January Father Brother Bob is conducting services at St. Stephen's Anglican Church (at the Methodist Church on Sespe St. here in Fillmore).  St. Stephen's used to be DaySpring, but a name change, location and time have occurred.  Services are at 9am (rather than 12:30pm) and they're pretty close to downtown.  We're hoping this will help draw more people - and so far it's worked a little - one new couple attended!  Let's cross our fingers and say a few prayers :-)

That Tiger dog loves his daddy!

Yup - Tiger loves to be touching his Dad as much as possible - and when it gets late into the evening, he also protects him fiercely! 

Yay - we got our Christmas Tree!

With the forecast of rain, we were a little worried we wouldn't be able to get our tree this weekend, but there was a break in the rain yesterday afternoon, and so here it is!

And, that green jacket I have on has been worn for many many years for our trek to pick out a Christmas tree.  I haven't worn it for quite a while, but decided to put it on just for this occasion. 

More pictures?! Yup!

Oh, that Ellie loves her Papa, and she thinks her Grandma Lisa is pretty okay too ...

She was pretty intent on what Uncle Matt was eating ... she's a very curious cutie!

 

Hanging out with Papa some more is pretty fun ...

  As shot of Beth and Kona - we all relaxed outside in the morning the day after Thanksgiving - it was beautiful!

 Katie and Beth ...

 

It was a really nice Thanksgiving - and we have so much to be thankful for!

Just a whole BUNCH of pictures!

Dear, what are you doing?!

This afternoon, I thought Bob was outside beginning work on our garden fence. However, when I walked outside I found this ...

Bob said he had to move the rock anyway (he loves to collect rocks in our orchard - he's made some beautiful pathways in our front yard, too).

And, here it is with the view of the orchard behind it. We've been wondering what to do with this area - we'd like to put in a firepit and a patio, but maybe something that incorporates a labyrinth - I kind of like that idea!

Good job, Bobby!
