Another HUGE reason to be thankful! WE LOVE OKRA! These were dropped off by an elderly neighbor. He grows a huge garden every year. The children and I admire his goats and bantam chickens. #91 neighbors we adore #92 dreams of winter veggie soup

my very happy, 41st birthday
Paul bought me roses…. They made me a big, southern breakfast!My family worked hard to make my day wonderful in every way. I’m very blessed. I love each of them …. ……..the Lord has poured out blessings. I think I had one of the best birthdays of my entire life.
mama’s chair
I don’t know why I post these things. I guess I am trying to hold on to each and every detail of her life. I don’t want to forget one, single thing. This week was three months. Three, very long months. I made myself do something I’ve not wanted to do- we got rid of her chair. When she had…
saying thank you
A most wonderful birthday gift arrived yesterday…. Oh, my! This is going to be SO good. (…and if you live in an area that doesn’t have Gigi’s, I’m truly sorry.) Thank you, again! There are going to be some super-excited Lamberts! 😀
orientation flights
…and I keep asking why he wants to fly. I do not understand why men must do such dangerous things. Does he not know what all could happen? Sigh. Mothering boys is not the easiest thing. I think I could stomach stamp collecting, or even building model planes- but his eyes are on learning to fly…and he loves it, and…

The thought passes through my head– my mama is going to miss Jackson’s first birthday. He’ll never remember sitting in her…
traveling with my honey….
A DAY after we returned from our trip to Kentucky, I left for Texas with Paul. We had such a good time. It’s been more than a year since I’ve gone on a work trip with him. I spent the time while he worked, planning our next school year, making menus and soaking up the sun. It was relaxing and…
on the way home
We stopped by the Alabama state line to see the rocket and take some pictures. Most of the children were handling the trip fairly well. I had a couple who were less than excited. Can you tell which ones??
a few more
These are just additional photos from our trip- Jackson, my little man, waiting to go for breakfast… These were from Opry Mills when we stopped off in Nashville on our way home. While we were waiting for our reservation at the Rainforest Cafe, we walked down to the other side of the mall to look at the aquariums- Our turn…
