If they Be For Us

 

 

If They Be For Us

July 27, 2012

 

My friends, I have decided that I am not going to keep friends who bash other believers. Having a difference in beliefs and expressing that difference is fine, but attacking other believers if NOT acceptable. It doesn't matter to me if they are Messianic or Christian we all believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob and we are all brothers and sisters in Messiah. So what, if we do things different. Messianic peeps, you all did the same things before you came to Torah, so don’t judge!!

Baby Goats on the Farm

Baby Goats on the Farm
March 16, 2012

We had been without goats since our last one was killed by our donkey (who now lives elsewhere.) We decided to buy a pair from a homeschool lady we know. These little babies had to be bottle fed but we wanted that because if you bottle feed them then they are much more tame, they think you are momma!

Such sweet little things! We named the girl (left) Cali and the boy (right) Oreo. Cali was born on Purim this year and I had thought about naming her Ester but decided against it.

Almost Spring Caching

 

 

“Almost Spring” Caching
February 5, 2012

 

A beautiful chilly Sunday morning and we hit the road to do some geocaching.

Above were our logs for the day, we hit them in reverse order…

San Augustine Park

Hiking and geocaching, yes that is what we do in the cool months. So here we are again this time at San Augustine Park…

and we had a picnic breakfast under the group shelter.

 

I loved on my wonderful son. Really is had nothing to do with me freezing because it was brisk that day and I was without my jacket!

100th Find

100th Find

January 22, 2012

 

Like with any “sport” when you make milestones you must make it memorable. It is no different with Geocaching. We were nearing out 100th find marker and wanted to try to hit it on something special. I have been looking at one called Teran which was suppose to be a historical location of the Old Fort Teran. 
I plotted our course to end at Teran at precisely the 100th find. This could be tricky if we ended up not finding enough caches before we got to Teran so I made sure we had enough to spare a few DNF (Did Not Finds).

 

Our first stop on our adventure was at Mt Hope cemetery. It had a nice mausoleum for the Masons here. We all peeked in the windows.

Caching During a Drought

 

Caching During a Drought

As with any tradition, it begins as an action repeated until it becomes expected. And so it seems picnics have become a tradition anytime we go caching.

 

 

We had a cache to find in this road side park but I didn't even look at where it was suppose to be until we had all eaten. If they had been distracted they would have never finished their lunch! By Yahweh’s grace we had parked at the table that was closest to the cache!

Geo-Date

Geo-Date

January 14, 2012

Ever since we had started geocaching we had yet to go with out the kids. This time we made a date of it. The kids had stayed the night with my sister and so we took advantage of some alone time to actually get to geocache and be the ones to find the caches. Normally, I guess we are too old and slow to make it to the caches before the children!

 

The first cache on our list was one called the Catahoula Boulders.

Cache a Zoo

Cache a Zoo

January 8, 2012

I was looking around on the map for some place to go geocaching and I spotted that the local zoo had a handful of them placed strategically around it’s property. The kids always love going to the zoo so it was a double blessing to have caches there. I was somewhat worried that maybe it would be hard to hunt them without being noticed with so many people around but I was ready with my geocaching pamphlet in hand if questioned.

Group pics are a must where ever we go… well most of the group. We parents are not to keen on being in the pictures.
