My goodness! This summer has just flown by! I have been extra busy workin’ as hard-as-a-dawg on a BIG project so I feel like I’ve been doing a lot of juggling lately. I’m sure y’all can relate to that!  But I did make time to spend the day celebrating my daughter Summer’s 14th birthday at our favorite amusement park Silver Dollar City here in Branson, Missouri.

Summer brought along some of her dear friends…all of them such sweet wholesome girls!

My grandson also came with us along with his mama Kimmy and my hubby.

It’s hard to believe that in just a few weeks these trees will be turning gorgeous shades of caramel, pumpkin and cranberry! (YAY!!)

I just adore this sweet old log cabin church. It is so calming and peaceful stepping inside.

Inside are log pews and a beautiful view of the Ozark hills. At certain times throughout the day they have old fashioned hymn sing-alongs. It is so  touching…it makes my heart feel hugged.

Ya know swap recipes and stuff!

We had such a fun day at SDC! And my sweet Summer Rose (2nd from the left) had a very happy birthday!

That  little red-headed darlin’  of mine is one of my dreams come true!

What a delightful joy she is to our family!

Well, Sugar Pies, I’m so thankful you stopped by!

I love hearing from you!

Do take a moment and say howdy!

May the good Lord bless and keep you real good!

Aunt Ruthie
