Follies of a Mountain Chick: End of Year Stuff.....

And lots of it! I told somebody recently that May is as busy or more so than December. It's great fun, but the house, the cooking, and everything else (except working out) goes out the door! Brookie has had field day, water day, field trips, and all kinds of fun things to do. Fourth grade has incredible field trips at Lakeshore and their last one was to the mountains to Linville Caverns and Emerald Village mining. Brooke absolutely loves to look for gems and rocks and DIAMONDS! She didn't find a diamond, but lots of other stuff, including her birthstone, a sapphire!

Cammie is still playing softball and has done very well. She's had some great plays and a very loud Mama in the stands!! She's also had field day and an end-of -the year party where 60-70 kids were there.

Short-stoppin' it!

Oh yeah, I went to Cammie's party too. I was a chaperone and loved it. Cammie was afraid I'd break out and BUST A MOVE! Can we say "embarrassment"? Nah, I wouldn't...unless she asked me, of course.

Thomas was in Atlanta and Durham for the week. The girls and I decided at the last minute to go to Durham to visit family and friends for the day on Sunday.

This is Papaw! He's got some gorgeous gardens.

One of his three gardens. Some of the corn is standing close to six feet already. Early July corn if all goes well. Yay us!

First bag of potatoes. Can't wait to fix'em.

Yay us, again!!

Papaw, Brookie, Thomas, Cammie, and Uncle Bobby.

Visited friends and although we didn't get pictures at Anne's this time, we did get them at Cindy and Ken's house. Here's Cindy riding us around in 'Fred'. Poor Fred. Cindy directed our wedding 16 years ago and is still very dear to us.
