Fishing with Ben and Eva
We're Going to the Chapel...
Sorry, I could not resist. Near the offices where my father rented the condo this week is a chapel in the woods. It reminds me of the song by the Gaithers "The Church in the Wildwood." Today we are going to visit this sweet little place tucked away up a hill in the woods of Arkansas.
I will post pictures and details of my visit later today. I'm excited this morning. It is cool, overcast and a slight breeze is tickling the tree branches outside just this minute. Dad's cooking breakfast... I think he loves it. Yesterday he informed us: "You will soon learn that while I cook breakfast and make a pretty big mess - I don't do dishes."
To which my brother replied, "In case you didn't know - we knew that already."
Again, I love my family. So the babies are watching "BOLT" and Scott is reading - there are three who shall remain nameless who are still shamelessly in bed. REST! Yes, that is what a vacation is about... Rest and Recreation. Ben and Eva have been precious to behold. So sweet and cuddly.
Jef is also perusing his own laptop this morning. After my shower very early this morning I slipped out on the back deck and had my special time with the Lord. I worshipped and bowed and Read Daniel 10. How beautifully those passages spoke to me as I revisited them. I could see Daniel in vivid detail... Humble, grieving over the nation to which he was beholden. Then a certain man appeared to him, one who looked much like the Revelation 1 description of Christ. I've read this passage several times in the past, but never quite the way I did today. I want to chew on it a while before I post about it. Maybe tonight.
Have a blessed day!

Live From Arkansas...
Here are few picks I took of the crew in our TimeShare Condo this morning. We are living in the lap of luxury.
Travis on Vacation! Have Laptop will travel.
Between us we brought four laptops.
Jef bought a Network Router last night at Wally World so we can WIFI...
He looks just like his daddy!
Scott and Ben at the front door of the condo!
She and Ben both have huge vocabularies... HUGE!
Did I mention my brother is not only gifted in computers but in music as well?
No, he was out there playing the guitar while Ben played at his feet.
Very Sweet! Not a great pic but a great memory.
I will post more later. I took more pics but the low battery did not translate into pics!
Hey ALL! I have some fun pics to share after getting a good night's sleep. Our family: Mom, Dad, Scott, his two children: Megan and Travis, my brother: Jef, and his two kids: Ben and Eva, and I set out from D/FW heading North to Bella Vista, Arkansas.
Things we learned along the way:
1. OnStar is completely useless for turn by turn directions when in Oklahoma... Some VZ wireless cell phones are as well.
2. The Mountains of Arkansas are absolutely beautiful...
3. It's a long way from there to here...
4. Megan can sleep anywhere! :)
5. Travis is quite good with a computer... (We actually learned that after we got here! But alas...)
6. Mom has and earned her back seat driver's license and she will show it to you. (Dad bought it for her in Alabama last year!)
7. Dad really can't hear me when I am speaking to him. It's not an act!
8. Scott driving, Dad navigating and Mom navigating Dad... We drive in circles. :) I ended the day by riding with my brother to Wal-Mart... I love my family!
9. A Map is still the best way to find your path between two points.
10. Eva and Ben are the most fun!
BONUS: Rain on the first day of vacation is not always a bad thing... We are all chilling in the condo! I know you wish you were me!
