Friends, Packing, Birthdays............

If you are unable to tell while reading this post, the Morton Maidens are on a sentimental high!

Our Magnolia Tree

~~Various Flowers around our house~~

We are enjoying them now as very soon they will not be ours anymore!

Our Jungle-like flower box

Our "Broccoli" Tree

"Mail" Art

This mailbox has some sentimental values to it. We Morton's love to receive mail, especially when it is a package or letter from a dear one. Every morning, usually right after we have all finished reading our Bibles, we would hear the "clink"of the mailbox. At least two people would run to the door, wait until the mail lady walked away, and then race to see who would get the mail first. Now, we no longer hear the lovely "clink" noise that announced the arrival of our mail:( Goodbye, dear "clink"!

S.A.M. and I packing up games (our first box to be packed)!

Progress is being made in our packing endeavours.....this week we are going to tackle the kitchen and the garage!!!! Of course we will not get all done in one week, but we hope to at least begin!!!

Dad and Uncle D. installing a new window. We owe many thanks to Uncle D. for his help finishing up the last touches to our house. Without him, I don't know what we would have done!

Cousin Joel helping us pack and reminisce!!!!

S.A.M. and I had to snap a picture at least once when the realtor was here.............3/4 of the time when he has stopped by, our house has been in utter chaos. In this shot, it was moments before Daddy and Mumzie signed the papers! Most of you know the story of how the Lord sold our home, so I will skip over those details.

Dinner with Friends

Several weekends ago we had the pleasure of visiting with the H. Family.......we have been and continue to be blessed by their warm hospitality!!!!

On our way home from our visit we saw somewhere between 3 and 6 rainbows (S.A.M. says 3, I say 6). Details are so important......at least around here!!!!

Splendid

Kate says: "Stunning"!!!!

S.A.M. says: "Breathtaking"!!!!!

Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) Conference

Well......I am very disappointed with myself. I took 200 less pictures than last year......too much talking I guess?!!!!! I am tired folks, so no order to the pictures (blogger was not cooperating).
