Four Generations...

Here are four generations on Easter morning. Grandmother's words in a hushed whisper to her grand-daughters were "We only want what Jesus wants for our lives". She is in so much physical pain but this is still her deepest desire.

Generations....

This picture was taken Easter morning....Grandmother was celebrating her 91st Easter while Audra has seen only six. I wonder what Audra's story will be some day as she holds the hand of her legacy....

Grandmother's Hats

I learned a lot about Grandmother this weekend and was reminded of more... She was a lady of bags and scarfs. She reminds me so much of my own grandmother in that she had so many projects going, even up to date. In her bed even in the last weeks she has requested needle and thimble to finish a project that "needed to get done". Here are her great-granddaughiers in some of her hats!

Episode: A trip to "grandmother's"...

Audra and I have just returned from a 4 day trip to New Mexico. We had the privlege of going with Aunt Colette and Katherine to help "Mimi" and to spend time with Grandmother who is very very sick at this time. We had a priceless time of visiting. This was our breakfast in El Paso! We left early early Friday morning and arrived in El Paso just in time for a Grand Slam at Denny's.

More from the Garden...

It's that time again....Episode: Planting the Garden

Audra has helped me plant the garden since she was 11 months old. Then she crawled through the dirt while I planted my first garden on Village Dale and we've done it every Spring since. She now goes with me to pick out the plants, she gives her opinion on where to plant, especially the potted flowers. I truely think Audra was meant to live on the farm. She feels most comfortable when she is "working" whether it's raking the leaves or planting her tomato plants!! Here's to Spring!

Episode: Palm Sunday...

One down. Although he doesn't look like it....Anders had a fever and stayed home from church with his mom on Palm Sunday. the other two got in their Sunday digs and celebrated Palm Sunday with their dad at church. It isn't Gunnar's favorite thing to do...to take a picture. this you may have noticed from shot to shot. Now Audra and Anders on the other hand can't get their smiles up fast enough!
