Lucky We had a great Easter weekend. We went to Summerfield on Friday night for Doug Kline's 40th birthday party and spent the night at Aunt Esther's. Grandpa and Grandma Ruth came up for the weekend as well. On Saturday morning, Dad, David and Andrew got up early and picked up the oldest Kline boys and went to get feed in Wildwood and then ate breakfast at Hardee's. They picked up Jenny on their way back to Kline's and took her along to play with the Kline children. We all had fun riding David's new four-wheeler. He bought himself a four-wheeler for his birthday, but it was a racing model and was fast enough that it scared him so he traded it in for a utility model. Rachel and Mom are the only ones in our family who haven't ridden it yet. Aunt Esther really likes to ride it. Aunt Esther and Mom fixed an Easter meal for Saturday lunch. We had ham, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, overnight veggie salad, baked beans and iced sweet tea. Grandma Ruth made a Lemon Pie for dessert. We looked at Grandpa's pictures from his trip to the Holy Land as well. On Sunday we had to very good services at church. In the afternoon we went to the Assisted Living Facility where we go once a month and sang and read scripture.
AHD Ranch is the name and symbol that Dale, David and Andrew came up with when David and Andrew were in FFA in high school. We don't have the property for a ranch yet, although we would love to some day have a small farm or ranch, but we are starting with some animals. We got the calves pictured below in March 2005 from a dairy in Umatilla, Fl. We keep them in Summerfield on Doug Kline's property and they take care of them when we aren't up there. We also have two heifers that we keep at another friends' property in Groveland, Fl. It was lots of fun bottle feeding these three calves and we enjoy watching and interacting with them. David, Andrew, Dale and Grace helped our friend Rick brand one of our heifers and his heifers and bull a few weeks ago. Last weekend he branded our other heifer and some other heifers that he just got.
One afternoon a few weeks ago, Grace told me to get my camera and come out back. This birdhouse is sitting on the window airconditioner unit in my bedroom window and a lizard was inside looking out the hole. Grace said it would be a perfect Geico Insurance ad.
Here is a picture of Andrew with his girlfriend, Hannah, taken at the airport before they left to fly to Ohio for Christmas.We had revival with the Victory Trio March 24 - April 2. Rev. Judy Williams brought challenging messages each service that made each of us search our hearts and all of us got help. Here is a list of the messages that she brought.
On March 31 we had record attendance in the service, somewhere around 60+ people. Our attendance usually runs between 20 and 30 on Sundays. The churches in Summerfield, Sebring, Zephyr Hills, Lady Lake, and Pinellas Park were all represented this service.
Hello from sunny Central Florida. I'll be posting different things going on in my family as I get a chance. We attend the God's Missionary Church in Orlando and just finished a great revival with The Victory Trio on April 2. I'll post more details from the revival later.
