Strawberry Pie Making!

Yesterday, Monday, Mama Ward demonstrated Grandmother Franks' Strawberry Pie at a ladies craft day at church. Ladies could come at 11:00 or 6:00 and "make and take" a pie! We made a total of about 20 pies. It was fun and the pies were yummy! Local strawberries are suppose to be in next week - that will make them even better! Scott has driven Mama Ward crazy with asking for these pies!

We had a tester come by!

Excuse me, A mom has to speak

Seth didn't want me to take this, but this was the morning his name was in the paper for the first time. He had a triple and 3 RBIs. Good job, Seth!
His baseball team won the AREA. We're not sure why he is being carried, other than he is one of the youngest on the team, maybe? GO WILDCATS!

Surprise! We're here!


Mama Ward and I surprised Susan and went to Asheville, NC where Susan was speaking to her church ladies group at YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly. We enjoyed it and Susan did an exceptional job!

Huntsville Botanical Garden




Mama Ward's Cousin

Delivering a car hood to a "neighbor"
Here's a 1962 car door.
Craig and Joan are Mama Ward's cousins from Denver, Colorado. They own a car parts(antiques) shop and just happen to be delivering some pieces to a collector in Huntsville and they found out we lived there. They spent the night with us and then made the call to make the delivery. The delivery was about 2 miles away from our house. We also took them on some sightseeing trips - rode around the Space & Rocket center, Huntsville Botanical Garden and Downtown. This is the beautiful 100 years+ old dogwood in the garden. It is very close to its peak.

Mama Ward's Brothers' Visit

George, Jean (use to be Saralee) and Freddy
George and Gladys have a grandson, Taylor, that lives in Huntsville.
Sunday Dinner! We had a wonderful weekend. I am always overwhelmed with my godly heritage and they are part of it. (Oh, my, after looking at the picture closer - what a dirty table - but the food was good!)

Easter Fun with the boys





This is a church Easter picture - you've got to be fast to get it! Isn't this just a precious family? We are so blessed!

Easter Fun!

It's turned into fun - Mr. Gossett and I pass out rubber duckies to his friends.

I just saw some for the Fourth of July!
The residents love them!

The Gossett Boys

These were Pops' cars when he was a little boy! All the Gossett boys have enjoyed them! John David's favorite one is the school bus.

Our little slugger! And he can wack it - you have to move out of the way!
This was Hudson's first time in the swing. No, it's not pool time, yet! We played a game to see if you could throw the balls in the pool!

Spring Break!

We loved having John home!

Papa was the brains and we were the labor!
To document - David can always smell when it is time to eat! Papa is always saying that. Actually, he brought us lunch this day - Thanks, David!
