Stockton and Carolina have been having fun playing restaurant in Carolina’s newly cleaned playhouse. Stockton wanted to take it a step further and fix supper for us all tonight. We were pleased to enjoy turkey hot dogs and beans.

Seven Days on the Plains – A video by Mike Olbinski

If you’ve been reading this news blog, you know how much I love clouds and sky pictures. I found a kindred spirit on the internet. I’ve been following this man’s work for a while now. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.

Saturday night in Littlefield, we got to witness Caden’s graduation ceremony. It was held at his home, very informal, but very touching. His sister Meagan and her boyfriend had put together a video that was hysterical. We got to visit with old friends and made some new ones.

 

 

 

Playhouse Spring Cleaning

Sunday, May 25, 2014

We had to move Carolina’s playhouse to repair the fence. We also moved a “tree house” so it could be inside the fence. We put the tree house stairs against the playhouse. Carolina got inspired to clean out her playhouse and wash all of her dishes. She and Stockton have been having fun playing restaurant.
