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 2011 Dear Family & Friends Much Loved Far & Near J As I sit here by the warm fire at our heritage home with Terell reading about Tim Tebow on his phone, we greet you all with love and our 2011 Bowdoin Bulletin. I am blessed to receive the first Christmas letters from Sheldon & Judy Shaw and John & Susan Harrigan and decided to take a break from other things to sit down and share with you. Four of our children have traveled to/been in other countries this year: Jonathan & Kathie made a business trip to London and Paris in September. It is always a special time.
