Peach Festival

2010-07-15T09:40:00.001-05:00

That's right, folks, it's time for Stratford's annual peach festival again! Games, contests, vendor booths, helicopter rides, peaches :) , and of course the highlight of it all is....OUR homemade peach ice cream!! :)

People line up in the blazing summer heat to get a taste of this cold, creamy, delicious-tasting stuff. We'd love to have you stop by and sample some. But you'd better hurry, because we usually sell out by early afternoon!

Be praying for us as we run our booth. Our goal is to be able to connect with more people in the community and be salt and light to those around us! "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Oh, and if you want to see buckin' broncos, calf roping, steer wrestling, the wild cow ride, barrel racin', and ragin' bulls...Stratford's 75th rodeo is being held this weekend, as well. Yehaaawww!

Fun with the Bontragers!

We had such a great visit with the Bontrager family!! They arrived Monday evening and left early on Wednesday. Tuesday night, the concert went very well, and there was a good crowd. Enjoy the pictures!

They sang together beautifully!

Quoting from Ephesians 6

THIS was a very impressive demonstration of working together!!

An intense game of Dutch Blitz :)

Story-time!!

Benjamin enjoyed having lots of playmates. :)

Pancakes....at Midnight!?!!???! LOL!

Pancakes, chocolate milk, Settlers of Catan = good times!!

Thank you, Bontragers, for all the fun and fellowship! You all are a great blessing. Press on for HIM!

Honey Harvest

2010-07-07T21:07:00.000-05:00

Last winter, our Granddad helped us get started doing bees. We now have 5 hives - 2 here in town and 3 at Grandpa's farm. Dad has taken this on as a hobby and is doing a great job! We extracted 8 gallons already this summer and last weekend we extracted again.

Benjamin helped rob the bee's honey

Extracting in Granddad's garage

The Lord blessed us with 15.75 more gallons! *delicious*
