    In front of our lakefront property where we are building a home we have an area with trees down in the water. The ducks and birds love it... I can't wait until we move in at the end of September so I can see views like this every day. August 7, 2017 097.JPG

    I'm excited to think that we may see many more excellent shots like this in future! Thanks Sherry!

    I haven't even had my camera out for about a month...we have been so busy with getting the house organized and then we have had a couple of family emergencies. One of the emergencies is leaving for Colorado this morning. My 24 year old Grandson had a hematoma on his spine. He had surgery and is now leaving for Colorado for extensive therapy so he can walk again. He was given a 4% chance to walk again but is making progress. They don't know what it was caused by...usually you can get those if you are in an accident. We are praying he makes a full recovery and proves the doctor wrong. Second emergency is my husbands dad...things are still up in the air with that situation... I did take my camera out and took a few pictures of the beautiful pink sky last night...

    Prayers for you Sherry. Hope your Grandson has a full recovery. We never know what can happen, just have to ride the roller coaster called life.
    Bless your heart!
    Hope things settle down and you can peacefully enjoy this wonderful new home and spectacular view!
