We've really enjoyed a restful Saturday here in McCamey, we're storing up our energy that we'll need tomorrow!

We have been enjoying the flurry of winged activity taking place in our yard, there is a nest of Barn Swallows on our front porch and a nest of House Finches on the back porch.

This evening, the sun was striking the mesas with a golden hue, made even better by the cool breeze. We hope your weekend is a blessing for you too!

A Cooler Day

We're taking a break from the heat today due to the wonderful late night rain we had last night. After Charles finished with his weekly visit at the Convalescent Center, he stopped by the hospital's business office for a chat with working woman, Belinda!

Wednesday in McCamey

Wednesday wasn't as hot as it has been the past couple of days. It only reached 92F!

This evening was the annual ice cream social at the First United Methodist Church in McCamey. Every year, the church invites the graduating seniors from the McCamey High School to a home-made ice cream fete`. What a treat it was!

Bunko & More

It was another hot day in west Texas! But that doesn't mean people are not enjoying themselves!

This morning, Belinda's mother returned to San Angelo after her weekend visit, and Belinda went off to work.

This evening Belinda joined in on all the fun at the monthly bunko-game gathering at the Sante Fe Depot. Belinda says "it is a hoot and a half: the ultimate good time and stress reliever!" Everyone who goes comes back tired... from laughing so hard!

A Hot and Busy Monday!

It was hot today, 104F!!! The cool weather of this weekend is now just a distant memory! This morning, Charles spent some time in Iraan, before heading to Rankin for his weekly lectionary study group. While there, he met Claire and Earl Richardson, former pastors at the Iraan and McCamey First United Methodist Churches.

Belinda's mother, Sheila, spent her afternoon volunteering at the primary school book sale. What a fun thing to do! This evening, we went to the annual UMW mother-daughter dinner. What a great group of ladies!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day 2010! We've had a very full day today and hope that each reader of our blog has had a happy Mother's Day too!

A Cool Saturday in McCamey

The heat of earlier this week has been temporarily replaced by a cool May day. It was in the low 60's, which was lovely! The hibiscus bushes Charles planted this week have already offered the first blooms, which makes for a lovely view out the kitchen window. The birds were also happy to enjoy fresh water and the great weather! Belinda's mother, Sheila, came up this afternoon to stay for the Mothers' Day weekend. We were tickled when Bill & Bobbie Lester called to say they were bringing food from the Schlotzky's in Midland! Charles loves Schlotzky's!!!

Charles made a quick trip to Crane to get some flowers to give tomorrow morning to the mothers at the First UMC in Iraan. (The McCamey church has its own tradition for Mother's Day.) This evening, he was in the garage re-potting the pretty blooms!
