Creepers Creeping

Creepers keep creeping on my blog,
Their comments have left me quite agog,
I need not your love nor your comments on beauty,
Father showers me with love, and compliments aplenty!

Oh Creeper my warnings must not go unheeded,
Know that your creeping is completely unneeded,
So creepers stop creeping stop one and stop all,
Its not very pleasant not pleasant at all!

~Naomi J. Houston

Our 4th of July!

 We all had a wonderful time on Independence Day! Both our neighbors on the right and on the left were able to join us for an amazing feast. We had many delectable dishes and a variety of beverages. 

But more important than the great food and the fun fellowship, it was a day to remember what the men and women fought for so many years ago. How grateful I am to those who fought for my freedom to worship The One True God! And now I desire to be among my generation of christians to rise up and defend that freedom so precious to us all! As a soldier of Jesus Christ in the army of God. 

 I hope that you all had a wonderful fourth of July! Here are some pictures of the festivities at our home.

Looks like somebody got engaged and decided to tell me by taking a photo! 

Need I tell you who took that out of the pie? 

Yes, this is she who tried my pie whilst I was away!

The feast that God provided!

My baby brothers!!! :-(

Which should I choose?

This one of course!

Just look at her bridal glow! :-)

I had to sample the filling for the deviled eggs!
