Sunshine and Kids

It's been sunny and the weekend I was in Tigerville, my family had a great time lounging around on the back porch. The week after there was the state archery tournament. There were probably 600 kids and a hundred archers at a time would shoot. There's a very satisfying "thwick" sound when the arrow hits the target. Multiply that by a 100 ...                 


 

Now that archery is done, my daughter is on a campaign to get horse-back riding lessons. I tell you, that kid needs a JOB! See that drawing below of the horse? It's also gracing my wall. The other one was made by her friend. Talented kids, no? Maybe we ought to sell these drawings to generate some income for those lessons ...



Is it my imagination or are my kids growing up too fast?

 

As you can see, my head is full of stuff. I suppose if I were to remain quiet, I'd appear a whole lot enigmatic, just like my cat.

Talented kids- YES.
That's our payback for wiping all those runny noses when they toddled around- we get resident geniuses right there at home!

Your daughter drew that horse? That is beautiful! I love the pictures. Max looks more manly every time I see him.

Great drawings! And your little boy... almost as tall as Dad! My, how the time as flown.

Marcia, that horse took a while to draw, but she kept at it. She's persistent to a fault. Max is learning to be a man now ...

Bish, thank you. I'm so aware of how quickly the kids are growing up. They are the greatest blessings.
