my peeps' brothers reunited in this mecca of Patriotism and Christianity, and count me in.  we stayed at a camp on the wrong side of the tracks, but we hiked the State Park trails every day, so we're happy. my peeps kept disappearing and going to the condo instead. well, who wouldn't?

Card Playing Suspended for a jam session.  Look at these beautiful women and two brothers!

a great conversation, and Ned checks his watch because "Noah" may be starting soom...

"Noah" was apparently a fantastic production, and i've been hearing about the inside of an ark for too many days.  'leeen wants to build an ark.  rahhhn says not yet.  

there was a rumor of something called an Addibaby, but i was never allowed to see for myself.  i had to stay home. no dogs allowed on the right side of the tracks. Addibaby was apparently extremely entertaining, cute, animated, alert, brilliant...unending list of favorable attributes...

as these brothers left, 'leeeen gleeeened steaks, spaghetti, all kind of wonderful fruit, grapes, melons, persimmons, peaches, and we're in hog heaven (they eat everything).

Providers of sweet 'taters, persimmons, watermelons, muskmellons, peaches,  satsumas, and Jam!

mostly my peeps were gone to be with four brothers, four sisters-in-law, three nieces (one great one), but when they came back to the camp i wagged my way along Table Rock Lake and there was never a dull moment.  grasshoppers, birds, gnats, you name it, i chased it. 'leeen has happy tears in her eyes, and it's fairly cold (freeze warning) so we need to go south.  in a good way...
