Well, on this hot Sunday afternoon, relaxing, resting and refreshing. Good day of worship at church. Lunch is over and going over some pictures from the Preacher's birthday celebration. I tried creating an album on facebook...umm was not working for me..so......but wanted to get back into blogging again..so figured this would be a good re-entry. Facebook friends and fam who are really interested in my little corner of the world will take the extra step and follow the link to the blog....those who don't, well that's ok too.
So friends from long ago and far away...a glimpse of the Gabbard Fam and who they have become...friends close by...just a little glimpse into how blessed Preacher and I really are..blessed, blessed, blessed
