Baptism and Blueberries

Hello Everyone!
I'm so sorry it's been so long; things have been crazy busy around here!  We started July off with a week long visit from Nana and Papa Cadle and Aunt Mary.  Smack-dab in the middle of the visit we had to take Hope (our golden retriever) to the vet and found out that her uterus was filled with puss and she had to have emergency surgery.  Normally a dog's uterus should weigh 2-3 oz.; her's was 4 lbs.!  The vet thought he would lose her twice during the surgery and the pain was so bad she was still fighting him at the highest dose of anesthetic.  That same week Mommy sprained her finger and we found out that one of the families from church's newborn baby had to be hospitalized (he has since been able to come home and is doing fine).  Mid to late July we picked cherries and 65 lbs. of blueberries.  The temperatures peaked to a roasting 105 degrees, with the heat index in the 120's.  A project our menfolk started in July and still have in progress is replacing the roof of our fifth wheel (Not an undertaking for the faint of heart!).  The month ended with the Tent Meetings our church sponsored in Camden, MI.  Tom Harmon and the Bates Family were our guest speakers.  Kaleb and a little girl from church were both baptized last Sunday:

First, Daddy gave a short address

Next, Kaleb read a short piece he had written

Ready...

Down he went...

And up he came; the last of us to be Baptized!!

Last Tuesday we went over to Nana and Papa Weber's house to help drag a dead Ash tree out of the creek and cut it up into firewood for us to burn this winter.  Wednesday, we saw Nana and Papa Cadle for the last time before they head south for the winter.  Our grapes are almost ready and our tomatoes and green peppers are starting to come on at a good pace.  I hope all is well with everyone in our small readership and thank you for still visiting our sleepy little Blogspot!!

In Christ,
For the Family,
Tiffany

P.S.  We've been having computer issues left and right.  The desktop will only work in safe mood and this laptop crashes intermittently, making it difficult to work online.  So if we can't update, you'll know why!!
