July!

Greetings, friends and family!
Since it is nearing the end of July, I have decided to give y’all an overview of what our month was like.Β  πŸ™‚
Here goes.. Farmer’s Market, processing vegetables, meeting with the Saints on Sunday… I’m just kidding. We did a little more than that. πŸ™‚

There are some pictures to prove it. πŸ˜‰

We only have a few pictures from the 4th, but here goes!

After singing at our monthly nursing homes, we swung by McDonald’s and got some drinks before heading on to the lake for a picnic and swim. πŸ™‚

On the 5th of July, Mama, along with Kitty, Grace, Rose and the little ones went to Georgia for the funeral of Mama’s Uncle, who passed away suddenly.

It was such a blessing for those that went to his memorial service. They were inspired by his godly and joyful life. HeΒ  lived life to the fullest – for His King! Aunt Jeanne (Grandmamma’s sister) is a strong woman of God who has placed all of her trust in her Saviour.

Some of the Harris cousins!

Blackberries!

The blackberries are always ripe in the month of July! We went down one day and picked! πŸ™‚
