On Tuesday morning, I went to Mansfield, MO. and got my sis, Wanda Andrews, of Kerrville, Texas, and we visited some of the local cemeteries to locate some of her ancestors. We then visited the S&H Fish Farm, which is really nice. We stopped by Jack and Barbara Breshears to get more ancestor information. Wanda then spent the night with us. We really enjoyed the good visit.
On Wednesday afternoon, Beth Stafford and Johnathon came down and visited awhile.
On Friday evening, I went to Nixa and spent the night with Rusty, Becky, Hailey and Maeson Carter. On Saturday morning, Maeson and I went to Fair Grove, MO. and while there, enjoyed the parade, and lots of craft booths. We ate junk food and bought a few little crafts.
After the parade and food, we walked back to Shawn and Summer and Caidence Johnson’s house where I played with my great granddaughter who is eight weeks old. Maeson and I then drove to Springfield where we visited with my sister, Johnnie and Violet Flair. We fed the neighbor’s goats some leaves and branches then we drove to Nixa, bought a pizza, went home and ate then crashed.
Remember, Proverbs 25:11 says, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
