Boys and Swings

After trying to crash into each other for a while, they came up with this.

Fun In Clemson

Mimi flew over first. Jenny met us on her way to work and drove Mimi to the airport.

A few days later, Pa rode over. Food stop.

There is a lovely Arkansas Visitor Center at Lake Village. It sits on the edge of the largest oxbow lake in the US.

Christopher tries out the newly arrived play house handed down from Miss Kerri.

John and Christopher rediscovered their swings which hang from the edge of the deck. They had the most fun crashing into each other.

A lot of time is spent practicing martial arts moves. What appears to be a broom is actually a sword, or some other kind of sharp weapon.

All ages participate!

Mimi and Pa's House

This is the first house we lived in after our wedding. It's a duplex. We lived there about 3 months.

Posting Order

Since I began blogging, I've made it my practice to use the blogger 'Schedule' function to keep posts in order by the date the topic occurred, rather than the date when I actually posted them.

For example, when I did some posts about our recent trip to Clemson I set the date to the time the events occurred, while we were there. This caused those posts to appear below posts about more recent events I had already done since the trip.

The problem is, some of my vast readership might miss out on those great new posts, since they appear some ways back in the postings sequence.

?

Is it better to post every new post (including past events) at the current time, so everyone is aware of the new posts, even though that makes events appear out of order?
Is this even a question worthy of asking?

Steamed Artichoke - Yum!

The real trick in eating an artichoke is making the butter and artichoke come out even.

Soccer Game

We got to see the Fireflies, Naomi's soccer team, play against the Dragon Flies. Thanks to Mimi's great idea, we began with a picnic.

A couple of Fireflies flitting around in the bushes nearby.

Naomi had her game face on.

Coach Emily did a wonderful job of directing her players to the most strategic positions...when they were listening.

Naomi did a great job of defending the goal, and doing corner kicks.

The bench was pumped up and ready to go. Especially the junior player.

Danielle and Mimi always have fun!

It was a tight game. I think the Fireflies won. Notice who is first through the after-game parents' high-five gauntlet...
