Master Jake working on the editing amidst the occasional, umm, what would you call it, 'yipes', or maybe 'screeches' and 'screams' would be the more correct terminology, lol, of various individuals who throughout the day were blessed with spontaneous visits from small, scampering visitors.

Saturday-The great Adventure Begins!

I'm finally catching up on news from three weeks ago. LOL. Sorry y'all!

Saturday morning after breakfast, we girls started cleaning and talking of our plans for the weekend. The guy's and men gathered in the office whilst the mothers dressed and directed the little ones. The next moment the guy's had moved to the den and we heard a rumor that they were planning a relief trip to New Orleans! We girls crowded into the den squeezing into every crook and cranny to ascertain what plans were being made. To our surprise they were indeed planning a trip for that very afternoon! In the midst of the discussions, The Lummus and Sanders families arrived. The walked in expecting to find us fellowshipping and were soon informed of the mens plans. After hearing of our plans, Mr. Lummus and his two sons, and Mr. Sanders and his son Noah decided to join the group. The men talked through various plans and then we had a joint prayer asking The Lord for his guidance to direct the men in their plans. As soon as the Amen sounded we girls hurriedly gathered in our kitchen to discuss a game plan for sending food to feed the men. We started a sandwich assembly line whilst a few other girls and I gathered food from the coolers and baskets to add to the stockpile. In the meantime, the guy's went outside to work on adjusting Mr. Reeds trailer to accommodate the relief supplies. They built side rails and did a few other things and then started off on a massive shopping trip to Bjs. For those who are unformiliar with Bjs, it is a bulk retail store like Sams Club or Cosco. After we had packed boxes of food and filled coolers we girls joined our mothers on the back porch for a cup of delightful Tea that Miss Ivis had made. It was slightly warm so Miss Dorothy and I attempted to make homemade ice cream. After mixing up two batches we searched in vain for any males to assist in the freezing process. Upon finding none I left the task to Miss Dorothy as she is the queen of ice cream making! It turned out wonderfully and everyone enjoyed the refreshing dessert. Towards the end of the afternoon I asked the girls if they would not like to join me in an adventure.

Arrival

The guy's arrived in Sliddell at Calvary baptist church at 7:45 this evening! They are all doing well!

Sunday

Sunday morning started off with a large breakfast and then the usual preparations for a meeting. The Maddox, and Hosch families arrived adding a few more people especially and most importantly 'men' so that Daddy and Mr. Carrel would not be alone. We gathered rather late in the barn and started our service. After the worship as Daddy was talking, Mrs. Lummus phone rang, it was the guy's! Daddy handed the service off to Mr. Hosch who lead us in a few words and then Daddy returned and gave us a report! The men had arrived safely and were in Kenner, La.
For lunch we girls prepared a potluck as the women gathered in the office for an impromptu prayer meeting and we girls fed the men and youngun's. Then Miss Abbi was inspired and led a group effort to the special setting and decorating of the table for all of the mothers! It was a lovely idea and the mother's enjoyed immensely. We then gathered in the living room where Miss Ivis and Miss Katie demonstrated various hair arrangements to the great joy of us other young ladies. As we were finishing up the last few girls long tresses, Daddy came in and started a video by Jonathan Lindvall. I grabbed some lotion and we girls set about giving everyone foot rubs. After the video was over we girls rushed upstairs and changed into our lovely dancing dresses. The Morton girls wore their lovely matching dresses that they made for the Father/Daughter retreat, Miss Abbi had bought a beautiful dress on eBay, and Miss Ivy borrowed my blue 1776/1860s gown with a crinoline. We other girls were dressed in various other styles and we gathered outside for a group picture. It was quite lovely as the girls all had their hair and dresses just right! We started our afternoon dance with the good ole Virginia Reel! We had but one newcomer Miss Larisa who caught on very quickly! I then ventured into new waters and reintroduced the 'Duke of Kent'. In the past we had tried this dance but without success. Amazingly the girls progressed due to their eager desire to learn and a surprising large amount of energy even though we were running low in the sleep department. After we had successfully danced through it a few times we took a water break and the girls promenaded around the lawn dancing the 'Two step', and the 'Austrian Liendler' from 'The sound of Music'. That evening we girls enjoyed a wonderful supper prepared lovingly by our dear mothers as we danced outside. After dinner we then procceded to dance again in the barn under the Japanese latterns with the little boy's. We had a wonderful 'little boys' dance which was as you can imagine was full of spirit and laughter and we were just winding down when Rachie came screaming "The guy's are coming home!" The barn then eruptured into utter chaos as we girls scrambled up to the house! The rest of the evening was spent in preperation for our guy's return! Miss Katie headed up the making of a welcome home sign which I have a pix down below. Miss Rachie made 14 beds out on the great room floor for us girls (which were never used poor thing) and then a massive bed covering the office floor for the guy's. By 1am the mothers started drifting off to sleep but we girls determined to greet the guy's at the door sat chatting and a board game was got up in the dining room. Eventually Miss Dorothy had the bright idea of taking a nap andI joined her for a one hour siesta. I then joined Miss Katie, Miss Rachie, Miss Alyssa, and Miss Mariah in the office. Around 3ish I made a pot of coffee and Miss Ivy joined us. We hit upon various topics of converstaion about women in the past particularly Susanan Wesley

Monday evening

After supper, we girls migrated to the barn again were we set about to ready the barn in hopes that the bigger guy's would join us! We danced several times and soon discouraged of any hope when after an attempt by Miss Rachie and Miss Abbi; we girls were pleasantly surprised to find the whole lot of guy's crossing the green! The girls grabbed their brothers and started the evenings activities off with the circle waltz. They did quite well and then Miss Rachie and Miss Abbi bravely decided to introduce the Duke of Kent. I was not quite feeling up to it and hadn't figured out how to call this dance to I leaned back and watched the progress. They eventually formed order out of the usual choas that a new dance invokes. I must say that I was quite impressed by the whole affair. And amused. Lovely y'all! We then formed a line and started off the Virginia Reel! Everyone present had a pretty good idea of what happens and without much calling we proceeded through the Reel for quite some time! Many thanks to Mrs. Morton who offered her hand to me as her partner, as my Daddy was at work.

Monday Afternoon

Monday afternoon after the joyous return of our guy's, we ladies served lunch and then headed outside to dance in the barn with the little guy's. They held up gallantly through the Virginia Reel and the Circle waltz that Miss Ivy had taught us. After awhile though, their little feet and hands got to itching so we thanked them and off they ran to take dominion over our yard. We girls danced a little longer and then lounged in the chairs enjoying just being together and the thought that everything was back to normal; our guy's were home!
Before supper, Daddy called after leaving for work and asked me to transcribe the mission trip to New Orleans. I followed Mr. Campana around scribbling as fast as I could as Mr. Lummus and Mr. Campana strove to relate to me their soul awakening trip! I'm going to ask Alan is I may post a few things that he experienced during his trip. 5 pages later Mr. Campana had to leave so we girls gathered around the Campana van taking pictures and sending our love. The Campana family is so dear to us all! Such a sweet family walking in obedience to his will!
For supper we scrounged out all the left overs from the weekend and with the help of the girls and direction of Miss Katie, we set out a nice spread and then rang the bell. Charlie gave grace and we girls gathered outside under the tree where Bethy had arranged the sweetest little table with a pretty table cloth and candles. The Lummus boys had graciously assembled new chairs that Mama had bought and we sat around enjoying our meal together!

A trip into southern country

Friday afternoon, after the departure of the Lummus'. Rachie, Beth, Alan, and I packed up into the truck along with a heaping pile of somewhat saturated hay and with quite a distinct smell. The air was soon filled with laughter and the aroma of moldy hay. We rolled down the windows for the purpose of dispelling the allergic mass and enjoyed the balmy air whilst watching Alan as he attempted to eat his dinner amidst the stop, and go of the traffic. I tried my best to keep the ride as smooth as possible but you know how it goes it a small town afternoon traffic. 40 min later found us in the country, at an Ingles waiting for our Aunt Neecy and her five children to arrive. Shortly after our arrival they pulled in behind us and asked if they could join us. I scooted over and gave Alan to wheel so as make room for everyone. A few minutes later we turned into the field that consisted of a two barns, hundreds of cars, and shrieking children. We piled out and went around to the back of one of the barns to survey the animals. We found dozens of goats, chickens, rabbits, eggs, roosters, pigeons, rats, and a few ugly and sickly sheep. We soon gave up the idea of buying a sheep and entered the barn. Hovering around a platform which contained a young man pulling and shoving a goat sat people of all shapes and sizes, watching intently the success of the young man and his 'specimen'. (LOL) Off to the side was a small box (kinda of like those boxes that men sit in at baseball games to announce the progress of the game?) which boasted of a man with a microphone and a women with a laptop. The man was calling out in a heavy southern accent "

A visit with Miss Ivis!

Friday morning we were graced with the presence of Miss Ivis Lummus and her father. Her two brothers had journeyed up here for the purpose of spending a day with Alan, to learn about the ropes of the business. We girls asked if Miss Ivis could accompany them and viola! Upon having guests and it also being Mama's birthday, we girls set out to make a pretty meal. Miss Ivie and Rachel offered their assistance and we prepared: steaks, potatoes, peaches, fresh made bread and butter from the Ivis, corn that Mr. Lummus and the little boy's shucked, and a salad! Yumm! Thanks girlies for all of your help preparing the meal! I enoyed the kitchen chatter. LOL. After lunch Daddy and Mr. Lummus headed off to a doctor's appointment whilst we girls made icing for mama's chocolate cake. It turned out pretty well thanks to Miss Ivie's sifting of the powdered sugar. LOL. When the Daddy's returned we served cake, sang happy birthday, and then we girls huddled around the computers where we exchanged favorite websites, discussed different patterns, and then to my delight! Miss Ivis demonstrated an 1860's hair style!! We then made various attempts at lodging precariously a hair snood atop Rachies hair and, well.... you girls can guess.LOL. We then taught Ivie the "Duke of Kent" so that she can practice before Labor Day. Her brothers arrived amidst our watching the horrible old version of P&P (not the wonderful A&E version) and we then bid the Lummus' farewell!

Happy Birthday Mama!!!!

Blast to the past

After our relaxing day at the Steele's, Mama asked us if we would like to see where we had lived as tiny children before our move to Puerto Rico. At the end of a country road after a bridge that once flooded causing my Daddy to have to cross in a boat to get to work; Mama pointed out to us a small piece of property nestled amongst the trees. We sat chatting for a while when mama then suggested a trip to the older side of Griffin that we seldom frequent. We passed various old buildings that I had treasured as a child and on our way passed our Akins Feed and Seed store. Having sheep, this has become a building that we are most enjoyably acquainted with. We then traveled to Kroger for the purpose of obtaining a few necessary groceries. I have never in my memory gone into kroger still wet after swimming before. We had taken clothes to put on top of our swim suits but they had become soaked from our little detours. I ran through throwing things into my buggy as fast as possible whilst Mama grabbed some take out chinese next door and then got a movie as the sky threatened to overflow at any second. We arrived home as it started pouring and true to tradition, every time Mama rents a movie (which is very seldom on her part) the power goes out. LOL. It went out 3 times but not for more then a second.

Second trip to the Steeles

A few days ago, my family decided to be extremely lazy and to journey out to our friends house the Steele's. Mrs. Steele had asked us to come and pick some more of their fruit before it rotted. We gathered a few pails and our swim suits and headed off! Mrs. Steele was just leaving on an unexpected visit with her niece, so we picked all the fruit that was ripe and then changed into our swim suits. For the next three hours we languidly soaked up the sun and chlorine until our skin had turned into prunes. LOL. With crazy stories about when we were younger, several close calls to drowning due to my loving sisters thinking that I hadn't properly viewed the bottom of the pool, to eating melted, and soaking wet choc. chips; thanks to Rachie dear, and the hysterics of seeing our mother jumping into the pool from the deck. We then started for home.

Aren't they just too sweet?

Trip to the Morton's

This past weekend the Smith family embarked upon a much anticipated visit with the Morton clan. Armed with cooking ingredients and supplies for a spa, we headed out saturday morning at 6:30. We arrived 3 hours later and caught the Morton's and Campanas just finishing breakfast. Mr. Campana and his daughter Alyssa are driving down from St. Louis with their newly bought van, so Mrs. Campana decided to drive up and we all meet in the middle. A lovely arrangement to be sure. LOL. After lunch the guy's and Daddy's dressed in their full regalia including BDUs and the works and we girls watched as they set out on a run down the driveway to the woods in the sweltering heat. We girls sat crocheting...(time to eat LOL)

Return To Green Acres

The Smith family has returned from yet another fun packed and refreshing trip to the Mortons! I really don't have any pix to share as my camera was acting up really bad and then, the pix that I did take were not saved as I had somehow unknowingly turned the camera chip to the "lock' position.

Oh well. Here is a pix of the Smith family; sweaty and bedraggled but as happy as can be!  

And the Lord opened the flood gates...

A relaxing day at Green Acres

Today after a long and pleasant nap, I relinquished Mama from watching the boys and settled down in a chair to read "Tomboy Bride" an interesting story about a young women and her life as she traveled with her husband around the country back in the early 1900s. It is a wonderful true account of a women's devotion to her husband!
I was soon captivated by the little boys who were playing in their tree house. Their activities consisted of hoisting water from the pool via a pulley system and buckets for the purpose of throwing in down upon the dogs and sheep below. A mud battle shortly ensued and then Rachie and I took them for a walk around the gokart trail. We ended our day with feeding the lambs, looking at our annoying catipillars which have eaten my mothers passion vine, picking a few muscadines, and then spraying the boys with the water-hose. The last event was very amusing to be sure. Now with a nice cup of Tea and Selah I am trying to catch everyone up upon our going'ons. The little Bennet boys are still with us and we are having the added pleasure of 4 little boys around the house. Miss Annie will be in the hospital until Friday and little Camdin will be residing there until the doctors dismissal. Yesterday and today Daddy and Arman have been extending our fence to keep the sheep in the 'back' yard so that we may enjoy our flowers and gardens.

"Oh girls! Netherfields Shed is lent at last! A single writing spider with a large web, what a fine thing for our sheep!"
