SPRINKLE'S BACK

What a nice surprise. Sprinkleshouse is back to blog world. If you've read her blog, you're happy to know she is back. If you never read her blog, you better get over there and catch up before she really gets going cause you're going to want to stay posted.

ANYONE

I believe you can now post on my blog. Since you all let your blogs expire and can no longer post, I have changed the settings to allow anyone to post a comment. Give it a try:-)

My family members all created blogs but quit writing on them quite a while ago. They only used their blog names to post comments. Then when they did not change to Google blogs, they said they could not post comments anymore.

QUIET --HERE COMES THE ARMY

About Memorial Day weekend.......it was a wild weekend on NOL-NOC Estates. Mike, Hope, Ryan, Dillon, Beth and Tandy were all here. Tandy took the boys all fishing, I entertained Beth and Hope. Ron worked outside between rain showers.

The highlight of our weekend was having Elenore stop by after her visit with mother. Hope looked for Aunt Elenore all day long and kept saying, "Aunt Elenore is coming. Aunt Elenore is coming. Isn't it exciting!!"

Dillon, Beth and Hope worked together to bake Elenore cookies because she always bakes cookies for them. They did a good job.

Mike and Hope are still here and things have quieted down some, but Hope can make so much noise by herself that we have dubbed her, The Army Of One!

MIKE WANTS TO KNOW

Mike inquired, "If you sell your body to science, do you get the money while you're still alive?'

Also,

Mike ask me for air freshener spray.......and matches or a butane lighter..!!!!! No, I didn't give them to him, but I do wonder what his plans were for them.

He reminds us all of Uncle Travis.

HOPE AND HANNAH

BETH AND BOBBIE

BEAUTIES SAY CHEESE

BETH IS PEBBLES TOO!

MAGNIFICENT MICHAEL

Here is some more great art from Michael! "Watch Me eat children!" I believe he was thinking of his little sister when he drew this.

PEBBLES

This is Hope with a Pebbles Flintstone hairdo.

SHE SAID

Mike, age 12 and Hope, age 4, are here for the weekend. Grandpa Ron was busy all day yesterday working outside. Hope went out with me to put the chickens up. She observed, "Grandpa has been gone all day. Is he at a motel or something?" LOL

FAITH DEFINED

I do not know who created this picture that came in an email, but I think it is a wonderful artistic image of a joyful, laughing Christ. Does anyone know who the artist is?

TRAVIS WRITES...

"Following the conference I flew down to Bechar and went into the Sahara for three days. There I got to ride a camel, climb sand dunes, and even see a rainbow! I stayed in an oasis that divides the two deserts, one of rock and one of sand. The birds sang all day, but the instant the sun set - silence. Then, late at night you could hear the faint call to prayer, before sun awoke birds. I don't know how best to describe it - it was a magical place."

DID TRAVIS LOSE JAMEL?

TRAVIS IN THE MIDDLE

Travis rode a camel. The week Hope was riding a camel at the Kansas City Zoo. Isn't that something!!

INCOGNITO

Isn't she a bit young for espionage?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER/SISTER-IN-LAW

Elaine will roll her eyes at any angel comparison, but she is an angel with a touch of love for everyone.

THE REAL BOSS

Ron finally has his backhoe here from Kansas. He is outside moving and shifting and digging. The two big roosters, Moe and Boss Hog are staying with this tractor every step of the way. It is as if they are in awe of this huge yellow rooster and they are running along beside and crowing, “You de Man! You de Man!”
