So many new places and beautiful things to see.


Sun setting on Steinhagen Lake near Jasper, Texas

We did not have lime green lizards back home (he caught his dinner)

Gecko staring me down, from above the front door.

I stopped my bike on the sidewalk to take this picture of the huge Magnolia blooms, some as big as dinner plates.
This picture shows the  pine trees, the palm trees, the magnolia trees
and some of the shrubs that make up the wild part of our neighbor forest. 

Spring on the kitchen counter, June incoming Missionary pictures on the frig
and our eight groups of Missionaries who have come since we arrived on the pantry door. 
(Three rows per-year and the first year has gone by fast).






We got assigned to attend a Training Conference in Salt Lake City and WE GOT TO SPEND A WHOLE AFTERNOON WITH FAMILY!!!!!! Thanks for driving up to see us.
