Yesterday afternoon we set up the pool and started filling it. Today it’s gotten deep enough to swim.

The day after they arrived, Atlanta, Jordan and Marian went down to the creek with us to help watergap. (This is what you call checking the fences that cross the creeks and rivers. Very often after a rain, the fences wash out and have to be put back up so cattle won’t get onto someone else’s ranch.) When we go watergapping, the guys have to work, but we get to play! The creek is the perfect place for kids. Water, sand, fish, critters, rocks, shells, etc. Here’s a little video of Marian having a great time in the water.

We had a surprise birthday party for mom (Granny, as we all call her) on Friday night. She thought it was just a get together for Atlanta and Jordan, and was surprised to find out everyone had actually gathered in her honor. Her actual birthday is Monday the 16th. She shares her birthday with Laredo who will be 20. She turned 60 the day he was born.
A two-part video of the reception and dance following Atlanta and Jordan’s historical wedding is now online. Enjoy!

We’ve been doing a little cleaning outside getting ready for Atlanta and Jordan’s upcoming visit.
Stockton and Carolina have welcome signs out front. They plan on jumping out from under the blue tubs when the Goodwins arrive.
The other pictures are from various plantings in the front yard and side garden.
