Smithy Doings

Hello Readers!
What a month we've had! Our 6th grandson (nephew) William was born, our church hosted a camp meeting, we had the P. children for a couple of weeks and the dear Smith family from Jacksonville visited us! What fun it was to fellowship with them one on one and get to know them better!
Our Tilapia came in last week! We now have 200 little fishy's (give or take a few) out in our Florida room, growing fast we hope, till we can either sell or consume them!
Today we are trying to tie up all loose ends and pack for when Kressy calls and says it's time for her little one to come! Ah, how fun!
Well, it's off to laundry for me,
God Bless and have a great day!

Griffins 2009 Mayfling

Last Saturday the "Fellowship of the Father Band" had their first formal appearance at the Griffin Mayfling in the city park! I'm not sure why they called it a "May" fling, since it was April but we sure did have a jolly time! The Antonions, Lane's and my dear Grandparents were all able to join us there and then they all came back to the house for a delish lunch of lasagnas and KFC (which seems to be our special food any time people come over!!)
Later on the kiddos' and I went back to the park and saw the ugliest yellowish/white snake that was absolutely ginormous!! Unfortunately we didn't get pics of it but we did get a pic. of another snake (aka snack LOL! sorry, family joke;) that was quite large too!

Bye, Bye BB party!

2 Sundays ago was our last Sunday with our dear Brittney as an unmarried lady, so all of us young ladies gathered in the back yard for a "Bye, Bye" party. We had such grand time talking of all the wonderful memories we had made together and ones we hope to make (for instance, meeting Brittney's future baby;) and just enjoyed spending time with each other one last time!
We love ya B!

Resurrection Sunday

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

Mark 16:1-6

God Bless!

Our visit to 11 Acre Woods!

Last Thursday we went over to Alabama to visit the Sanders family! My two married sisters were there, and the Morton Sr. family, along with Amanda Davis. We had such a wonderful time talking, jumping on the trampoline and playing a most interesting game of Catch Phrase. And to top it off this delightful day we stopped by Krispie Kreme on the way home! Mmmm, what a delicous treat! Thanks Alan!

Y'all have a great day!
