A Pleasant (?) Sunday Afternoon...

On Sunday, G'daddy wished to have a meal after church and since we Dischers were finally able to return to church after our quarantine with a respiratory sickness, we were very happy! Fun fun! :)

We were still missing the Waldmans (also sick) and on Saturday the Stricklens came down with the same thing we had had. We missed them all very much.

So, in the end, it was us Dischers, G'mama and G'daddy, G'ma Harris, Uncle Sonny, and the Tanners. We had a very nice time. :)

"What do you want?"

"Uh--can we have a turn?"

Finally she can safely walk out to her chicken yard without being attacked - AND she gets some chicken soup in the process!

He has victory. :)

For the Lord we've done our best

Until next time we shall request

That all of you will be blessed!"

Goodnight, Folks!
