Time to rescue a snapper!

 Well, on NextDoor someone posted that they had a turtle in front of their garage and they weren't touching it.  They asked if they should call animal control!  FOR THE LOVE!

So I told them I would come over and get it.  Armed with a box and two towels... we headed over!

The little girl that lived there was so nervous about the turtle.  So we chatted, I let her name the turtle (she chose soccer turtle) and that seemed perfect!

Next Stop - COUNTRY PLACE...


A couple of photos later... this is his glamor shot!



Soccer Turtle was released!

He snapped at me when I picked up his butt (with my foot - no salmonella warnings needed...) and then he just headed down to the water.

Have a great life little buddy!!

Mom/Son trip for 2020 and 2021 combined... look out Fredericksburg, here we come!

Image
Well, I booked this trip for Spring Break of 2020 and Covid had other plans. I moved THREE time and prayed this weekend would stick - AND IT DID!!  We drove a long 5 hours to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's wine country but that's the last thing we had on our minds! I swear - I found this out AFTER I booked the house! look closer... and I was only looking for this! We only got in once for about 10 minutes... it was hot AND there were SO many bugs! We headed to dinner. It was HOT and we both had on bad shoes... the mile walk to and from Tubby's (gross food BTW) was not worth it.  LOL But then we say that we lived a few doors down from a jail. Very cool all the history in this German town!! I told Tristan it was a "YES WEEKEND" and I would say yes to anything he asked (within reason) and he made the most of it! I said "no" to something he asked for and he didn't miss a beat... he stopped and said "What mom?  I couldn't hear you?" That face... u...

Day 7 and 8

Image
Well, the first two pics are from a very hard Day 7 I sat here... and bawled.  Tristan and I had choice words about his eating. Well, not eating.  His snacking.  It didn't go well.  I'll leave it at that.  I sat here.  Bawling.  Crying out to God to save us. To heal our land.  I told Him all of the things I CANNOT do.  Well not in my own strength.  I told Him all of the places I NEED to move out of.  All of the insecurities I have. All the things I have fought SO hard for that I'm fearful He is asking me to just forget about. I'm scared of His "NO". I'm scared that I'm being corrected or chastised for all of the decisions I've made until now. That I've just messed it all up.  But then, I remember that I'm just not that powerful. God has shown up for me in so many ways, so many times, and I can't forget that. I can't be like all of God's people who wandered in the desert 40 years... and then in their freedom, they w...
