Spies yesterday, a bandit today!


Can you believe that this bandit showed up in our backyard today? And, he wasn't a little raccoon either...quite large. We were eating watermelon in Nathan and Kathy's backyard and Kathy spotted the visitor in our backyard. And...for those who don't really know where we live...we don't live out in the country...we are just a mile or so from downtown Tullahoma. Yes, we have lots of trees, but really we seem to be becoming an animal refuge! I think that is due to all the building around us...they are taking the natural habitat away from God's little and big creatures.
We had a great 4th of July. We provided the food and Nathan did the grilling. Yummmmmy! We enjoyed the secret dessert too! We have a new member in my Sunday School class and she is new to town so we invited her to come eat with us. A good time of fellowship and eating was had by all.
Woody got up quite early this morning and took a long walk...about 8 miles. Then he really helped me once again in the kitchen. He enjoyed the traditional July 4th fare...a hamburger, baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob, squash casserole (not traditional...but fresh squash from Nathan and Kathy's garden...couldn't pass that up!), the secret new recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake Bars (we ate the bars...not the recipe!), and fresh squeezed lemonade. And, then this evening, we went next door and had watermelon...definitely the 4th...now that we have had watermelon...and I got the traditional picture of the four little grandchildren lined up eating their watermelon. Abigail says that it was very messy!
