Old furniture restoration

We found this old kitchen cabinet (?) in the basement.  It may have been original to the house.  We're planning to restore it and then use it as a kitchen island.  I think it will look really nice once it's done.

Beautiful wood hiding under all that paint

Always willing to help when it comes to power tools!

End result of hard work

The boys worked hard in their watermelon/melon garden this year, they got a lot of watermelons and we froze a lot of melons for eating later.

Team work!

Slicing open that first watermelon

Pure yumminess!

Missouri State Fair!

2nd place in a photo contest!

Such a proud moment for our daughter!

We walked around enjoying all the various exhibits, and then it was time for the rides!

















A wonderful end to a wonderful day :)

Happy birthday to a wonderful 15 year old

Do you know how beautiful you are to me?
Do you know the hopes and dreams I have for your life?

Flowers picked by her brother to decorate the table

Not birthday cake.. rather a milk tart :)

Fruit salad at her request.. I fancied it up a little ;)
Happy birthday sweetheart, I love watching you turn into a wonderful Godly young woman.

Macaroni and Cheese Casserole.

Growing up, my mom used to make a macaroni, egg, tomato and cheese casserole.  I have no idea exactly how to make it, only that the cheese went on over the tomatoes and it made a good dinner.

I can't find the exact recipe I used, but it was good and my family all gave it a thumbs up!

Yum!
