Weeeeeeee!


On the same day as the big turtle adventure, We also played on the playground at the lake. There is the nicest play area there I have ever seen. I did not think we would ever get Paydon to leave. Anyway, there was a big slide there and here was the result. He thought it was a blast but his expression on the way down didn't say "fun." Kids are funny. It is neat just to follow them around with a camera and see what they will do that you could be lucky enough to capture.

As adults we stay on top of big slides (proverbial) looking down. There is some big move required on our part. We see the bottom and know what is coming, we are just unsure of the path between. The expression on our faces are not always "fun" either. If God says move, then move. He never promised all would be fun. He did promise He would never leave us nor forsake us. He makes the big move with us. Sometimes, perhaps, He is slightly distanced, just watching His children. Perhaps he thinks the same of us. "Children are so funny sometimes." I hope that I bring that joy to my Heavenly Father, to be pleasing to Him. God bless you all.

He looks like he is about to become airborne! Great shot and great analogy! Thanks for sharing.

Where are all of the bloggers? Sis Tammi, have they left us? Perhaps we should give away free stuff. Wits and wisdom is about all I have and I am a bit challenged in those departments. One day they will come back.

I was wondering if my posting on other's blogs was becoming the kiss of death, because after I post...nothing, nada, zip, zilch! Hmmm...

Are you moving too! Did I miss it somewhere?
Love,

I am sure that it is just a busy time with conventions and real lives and things like that. Oops, did I imply that we do not have lives? I have a life and I enjoy it. Now I am arguing with my self. Not to mention Tab is sitting here pointing out all of my mistakes. She just did it again. *angry frown* She says that causes wrinkles. Well I need some wrinkle cream right about now *frowns harder* I have been struck! The audacity of some people! Brother Ray, I need your help!!!!!

Welcom back Sis Smith. Sorry the facial expresion is not fun right now. It is quite a ride right now for sure, sometimes bumpy! All that is important (continuing with slide analogy) is to land on your feet, or to have a loving Father waiting at the bottom to help you up and dust off your seat!

Sister Net, well, I think only Sunday morning of the convention this coming weekend will tell for sure. As of yet we do not have our bags packed. Have you guys arrived yet?

New post please! hee hee! I have a life and I have been VERY busy, but I still take time to read your blog everyday and EVERYDAY it has been the same terrified look on Paydon's poor face flying down that slide. So give the poor kid a break and put something new on here! Did you see my hands on my hips as I scolded you? ~giggle~ Right now, my husband needs help too, so I don't think he would be any help to you. Get'em Tab! HA!

Momma Tammi said...

Poor Paydon! Just can't get off that slide!

About Me

My photo
In 2003, my wife Tabithia and I left our city home and embarked on an unexpected journey. Both of us have fulltime jobs outside of the home. When the work day is over we return home and begin working again. We have around 100 animals here. Many of which are owner surrendered or rescued. This 4 +/- acres of land that we call Fair Haven Farms is a little piece of heaven. Not everything is always grand, but we endure the negative and celebrate the highlights of our furred and feathered friends. The farm is available for travel. We participate in many educational programs. FHF also opens the barn doors for birthday parties and other events. Feel free to visit our Fair Haven Farm facebook page. We hope to see you soon. Until then may every day be FARMTASTIC!
