Summertime Fun

This week our quiet, rural corner of northeast Texas turned into summer camp for children of all ages. Steve's son, Pete, our daughter in law Beth Anne and grandkids Wyatt,5 and Lydia ,4 came for great-grandma Lois' 80th birthday and to visit us for the first time in Texas. It was a week filled with summertime fun- cookouts, volleyball, archery, hayrides in the back of Papa's truck, fishing......
