Family Pics – Mother’s Day ’06
After Church on Sunday, being Mother’s day and our anniversary and all, it was time for some pics!
After the Rain …
With a week of rain behind as and nice warm weather, there is nothing that can stop the growth in the garden! And the colors defy any photograph to portray them faithfully! Spring is truly a time of wonder – please read the quote at the top right hand corner of this blog again with some attention.
Spring Activities
Green is popping out all over. The bush in the corner of our garden looks like a bride. Everybody thinks we are getting the warm weather a bit early.
Today Jacques was asked to do the reading of the Bible in Church and he did an excellent job!
Green wants to emerge!

Portraits of Wilhelm

Then he had to make sure we had everything: |
|
Mixing things up involved some ‘hands-in’ activity: |
|
The cookie press did the shaping: |
|
Jacques was careful enough when things got hot! |
|
While the cookies baked, Jacques even washed the utensild he had used: |
|
The results looked very good, but mysteriously dissappeared very fast ….. |
