Summer 2010 Weddings Farris and Jones

July of 2010 brought a wedding from our down the road neighbors....

Congratulations all the Farris's family! Katelyn, you were lovely!

What a great way to christen your family's new home here on Lemons Gap,

A WEDDING in your front yard with guests at our cottages.

Then, another wedding bridging the countries of Holland and the USA!

Hunter Jones and Marloes Mout.... congratulations!

All the friends from Kansas City and IHOP were such a breeze of joy in our homes and in our worship time on Sunday morning.

The wedding at Logston was lovely even though the temperatures soared again into the 100's after a rehearsal night where rain poured so unexpectedly in August in TEXAS!

Brand Jones... your family is increasing exponentially!

We welcomed several guests from Holland in both cottages.

Our deer, many with twins, welcomed our guests as well.

Jack Rabbits made our Dutch feel a true taste of Texas.

You are all welcome again, should you ever consider a stop in Texas.

Congratulations to Ino on his engagement here on this trip.

Opa... yes, it is HOT here and I will try to learn what 100 degrees Fahrenheit is in Celsius:)

It was a good week you spent here in our cottages.

We pray blessings over both these new marriages and we thank God for new friends from around the world!

GOD IS GOOD!

Western Heritage/graduation/Mother's Day Weekend

The annual University graduations, Western Heritage,
and Mother's Day weekend
was supposed to be lovely weather....
But on that Saturday the winds blew in some storms.
Our guests were still able to host bunches of family members to a picnic on the hillside.
We were told that the sandbox was a real hit with the under 10 set:)
Glad you guys liked it... ours do too!
Of course... as soon as the weekend concluded... the weather of spring returned to the somewhat sultry pretty days of May.
Ebear says HOWDY to all you guests and "yall come back now... ya hear?"
(maybe next time there will be no car in a ditch for the back hoe to remove:)

Blue November skies and a great visit from the Garner family!

November is warmer than usual this year with temperatures of 80 degrees in the day and cooling to an incredibly comfortable sleeping temp of the 50s... lovely!

Fall on the porches is exactly what a cozy evening should be... rocking and waiting for the millions of stars to peep out one by one!

We haven't had as many honeymooners or anniversary celebrants as in the past, but oh my goodness...

We have had families! and parties! and hayrides of happy people and gracious friends...

We welcomed the Garners into our homes once again this past weekend

and we'll be looking forward to a return visit!

Perfect picture of two wonderful guys by the "laugh" sign!

We pray particular blessings of joy, love and peace over each of you as you return home, and hope you will always know...

You make our hearts happy!

We will look forward to a return visit not so long into the future!

*thank you Julie for sending us your pics, we love them!*
