Trees. Oak trees. I love oak trees. :) We had beautiful oak trees around our house when I was growing up. My husband bought two nice oak trees for me several years ago that we planted in our front yard. They are about 30 feet tall now! And there are also a number of them growing up here at New Hope. I walked to the mailbox and saw a nice one that is probably 20 feet tall.
Here is the oldest known oak tree called the Seven Sisters Oak in Lewisburg, Mandeville, Louisiana. It is over 1,000 years old.

It is time to write. It rained yesterday! It has been a hot summer with a number of fires started. So what a blessing to have rain! Thank You Lord! And how nice to blog again! I recently read that to those who like to write, writing is like breathing...you must breathe and you must write! So again thank You Lord for this blog. My brother-in-law in Spain blogs and in Spanish and this reminded me to blog more. Just some happy recent times! We had our annual family camping trip August 20-23, 2015, at Lake of the Woods.

Bowdoin Bulletin 2012

Here we are!  Once again we review our year.  Each year presents special blessings and special challenges.  One year closer to King Jesus' return!  We like having the Eastern Gate on our Facebook and picturing King Jesus on a white horse fully in command and multitudes with Him! January found us getting more settled.  Terell soon planted a nice garden and set up the watering system.  Pumps took some time.  Ben kept very busy in his RCC EMT studies based in Medford.  Terell also worked a lot for David on his Athletic.net website.  I babysat for Calvary Crossroads during the ladies Bible studies weekly.  Enjoyed the kids and Moms.  The Ladies Retreat in Ashland was such a good time. Was able to fit in some studies in Ephesians, Malachi, and Beth Moore's book on Believing God with helpful teachers.  February brought a semi-daily exercise routine at Curves.  Made new friends and found new muscles!  Also some...
