For Your Enjoyment

These random pictures are for the
enjoyment of those friends of ours
who faithfully follow our blog and are
getting bored.



Nugget

Happy Dog!?!
Not.

What a dog won't do for love.














Jason & Matthew
Best Buds







Gretchen, Aliza & Natalie


Nothing so sweet as the fellowship
of old friends.








Our
Middle of the Middle Ages
birthday party for Auntie Kay.


These are our madrigal singers.











Nate the JESTER,
and his assistant.

We tried to be very authentic.




The meal was complete with bread trenchers (plates) and a monk who came to beg the scraps for the poor. He also chided us for our gluttony.

I did draw the line on authenticity when it came to throwing the bones on the floor.





Our beloved Andrew helping to
open the stocking goodies.

THE TREE
Our neighbors insisted that we cut this tree from their yard for our Christmas tree. This is the tree that fell down 3 times!
It's attached to the wall in several places using fishing line!! Aaargh!!







Cute little savages!

Aren't they??





We had just finished painting some furniture that was given to us and decided to head out to Culvers. We lined up in age order and pretended to be the Von Trapp family. Yes we sang where ever we went.

Take a look at Matthew's face.





Zion has put on a Passion Play
for over 60 years. Grandma
Sisson was in it growing up and
Ken was the baby that Jesus blesses. The kids have always had the privilege of participating.

Gretchen - Mary Magdalene
Haley - servant who accuses Peter
Matthew - lame man's brother
Nate - one of the twelve disciples





Grandma & Grandpa Sisson
and their pilgrim grand children.





















Andrew and his cuddly little bird
early one morning.
Haley loved her baby dolls.














Matthew

Hands up!!
