Drum Circle
This is a drum circle that meets at a local park. They are so much fun to watch! Sorry the sound isn't the greatest... I was trying to be sneaky and unnoticed.
Spring Ducklings
Yep. I know. It's actually summer. But I needed a quick idea for a post, and I knew I hadn't shown you pictures of our ducklings. As many of you know, our apartment complex has a family of ducks that hang out all year. This was our first spring here, and we saw two sets of ducklings. Here is a picture of one little family of ducklings. They were so small and cute! I just wanted to cuddle them all. But as you may be able to tell, Momma Duck wasn't having any of that! She was very protective! As she should be. But I did manage to snap a pic of them.

Last of our trip
So when we left Memphis, we decided we would call some friends of ours and meet for dinner. We hadn't seen Nate and Tina since last year, and were really excited about getting to see them again! Especially since they have had a baby, and we hadn't met him yet. We met at Colton's and ate dinner and talked for a good while. I got to sit by Zeke, which was great for picture takin! Isn't he SO CUTE!?!
I also forgot to post this picture from when we were in Nashville. The house across from Lynn's house dates back to the Civil war. It was used as a hospital. The "shed" in the back is one of the access points for the Underground Railroad. Apparently, the tunnel is still in tact. Pretty cool, I thought. But I thought the house was gorgeous, so I wanted you all to see it!
100th POST!
Well, this is my one hundredth post. I was thinking I might revamp the way my blog looks, but I really like the way it looks. Then I thought I would tell you 100 random things about me... but I'm not really that interesting. Nor do I want to spend time trying to come up with 100 random things about me. So there's not really anything new going on here.
But I at least wanted to acknowledge the fact that it's my 100th post! Yea.
