Still Waiting ...

Yes, we are STILL waiting for Christian's mission call!!! It takes sooooooooooooooooo long, doesn't it??? Or am I just impatient? :-)

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Christian's 19th Birthday, Spring Concert, Mission Papers

We went to Brenham on 5/1 for Christian's Spring Concert. This was the first of many trips to Brenham ... and keep in mind we've been there a few times the last month. ha ha

This is his band on stage.

And we went back again on 5/8 for his 19th birthday. Notice he's holding a Chuck Norris book .. yup, be prepared. If you keep in touch with him somehow, expect to hear Chuck Norris jokes.

He has also turned in his mission papers this past week .... So it's going to be a big year for him (and us).

Pineapples, Geckos and Tomatoes

Our pineapple plants are finally growing fruit!! We have two plants and we've been waiting for a few years ... yes, years. After the winter freeze, we had to trim some leaves as they were burnt and voila! the pineapples started growing. Our tomatoes should be ready soon. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. We have a lot of geckos this year. Plus our lime and orange trees are full of fruit.

I will next post pictures of our loquats and the jam we bottled. It's delicious!
