Trip to Texas

We took a short trip to Texas recently.
                         
                                
                           My sisters found a tree frog.....
                                   
                                           Grape leaves....


                                             
                                   The sunset was beautiful. I can never seem to capture the true colors of a sunset.

                                        I got to tickle the ivories a bit after supper.....

                                              I liked the reflections in these chandelier crystals.




                                 Tazo tea. + relaxed evening + friends + good conversation = nice time.


  The next day, we went to a coffee supplier warehouse. They had some neat artifacts there. This was a cash register.

                                                      colorful Tiffany glass lamps.

                                    I like distressed furniture like this and the blue color is great too.



                                             Bright stripes!

                                                                          groovy!
                               
                                     These were some tea shelves with vintage labels.


                                This is the owner of the coffee supply store and us. He is a nice, friendly man and we enjoyed meeting him.

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in  friendly fire  deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by  E-boats  of the German  Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946  American   servicemen.

The Best [poem]

Christ wants the best. He in the far-off ages Once claimed the firstling of the flock, the                 finest of the wheat, And still He asks His own with with gentlest pleading To lay their highest hopes and and brightest                  talents at His feet.

He takes the hearts we offer; And fills them with His glorious beauty,                joy and peace; And in His service as we're growing stronger, The calls to great achievements still increase. The richest gifts for us on earth, or in                 the heavens above, Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we receive                  The best we have. And is our best too much? O friend, let us                 remember  How once our Lord poured out His soul for us, And in the prime of Hi
