What Have the Discher's Been Up To??? (Part 1)

Hey Ya'll! Well, we have been very busy...working on the house, birthday parties, yard work, travel...wow! But here are some pictures of what we have been doing. :) Not in any special order or anything, just however my brain reminded me. ("Oh! We DID do that, didn't we??? I forgot about that!") :)

As we get more updates done, they will mysteriously appear on the blog in "parts". So there IS more coming (ya'll are jumping up and down for joy, I know...) :)

Hope you enjoy...

October/November Miller Visit...

In the RV.....

"Heeeelloooo!"

The three of us sat in the back of the RV, calling voters in support of Amendment 2, Florida's marriage amendment. We are pleased to say that it passed!!! :)

(Amanda and the Stricklen girls were at home doing the same thing...)

We also made our cheery selves known by friendly waves and smiles.

We had some interesting fellow travellers....

Rose singing with all her might, as Em drifts off to sleep

Sarah working on a 1860's dress she was going to "sell"

(explanation coming later...)

Grace crochetting a snood

A Sidetrip.....

A natural bridge in Alabama.

Truly a lovely and amazing result of the Flood!

...Taken right before he fell...it was a long way down :)

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Someone had inscribed the year "1891" on this rock. Cool huh?

Rose was VERY excited to discover so many evidences of Noah's Flood!!!

A Reenactment in Alabama.....

Robin Hood and Little John meet...

They duel....

And if he had really fallen, that water was COLD!!!

The sign said "200 Billion Years Ago..."

We knew better....

At The Millers...

Aunt Katie made some wonderful cinnamon rolls! :)

They need plenty of wood for those wood stoves, and Matt

is going to make sure they have it!

Benny is going to help Matt.

They kept us well stocked with wood!

Matthew smoked a turkey for us the first evening.

This interesting look was dubbed Daniel's "Bob Hope Sneer" by Grace.

Matthew of course joined in the act!

Grace making artistic use of God's creation

Happy Cousins

RG had some trouble with the fire at one point.

Here, he is quite exasperated with the lighter!

He also had no kindling, so with a kitchen

knife and a tool, he set to work!

(We had some interesting late nights, with kids

in one cabin, moms and babies in the other,

and Gmama and Gdaddy in the RV!!!)

Pete coming back from hunting.

He was not successful.

One of the late nights was livened up with dutch blitz.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

"Hey there!!!"

"My parents participated in the interplanetary adoption program!"

(Grandmama's joke)

Breakfast...

Emma and her "gun"

She was VERY disturbed when someone mistook her gun

for a stick (However did that happen??) and threw it outside.

The unfortunate thief was sent outside to fetch it back immediately.

The newest game when we arrived was staying on the

ladder without any support. Here is Matthew demonstrating.

We all watched the election results

over the internet. There were many tears,

prayers, and discussions that night.

May God have mercy on us, and give His people

the strength of the Lord during the next 4 years!!!

Obama's IN???

"I can't believe Obama got in!"

And RG and Grace (the sarcastic ones) try to add some humor

into the otherwise...not humorous situation.

We also had smores. At this point, apparently

without the fire, chocolate, or graham crackers...

Daniel enjoyed them--sucking the middles out.

Another late night. Playing K.E.M.P.S.

Mama, Sarah, Grace, and Kitty played Rook.

(RV's are wonderful inventions!)

We stopped for lunch just inside the FL border
