Beautiful "Great Snowy Mountains"


I'm a mite tardy (yeh, riiight!) in posting this, but I still wanted to show you this. We topped the hill on the way home from church a couple Sundays ago and gasped at the sheer beauty of the snow-capped peaks of the Great Smokies in the distance. (This is where I like snow: in the distance!) So we went home, got the camera, and drove around all over the place trying to get good pictures! lol Somehow we never found the right spot, but here's one photo in which you can see the snow atop the mountains. (You might want to click on the picture to get the larger version otherwise you might think we can't tell haze and clouds from snow.) Enjoy!

Another Sprout on the Family Tree!!

Fanie & Rose (Stence) Blignaut have another SON! Abigail, Daniel, Liliva, Elisha, Kezia and Kihannah have a LITTLE BROTHER! Becky has another GRANDSON--18 grandbabies (and Great-Pappy & Grammy Cooley watching over Baby Rose in heaven)! The little guy is still waiting for his name! Update: His name is Lemuel, meaning "belongs to God," and is thought by many to be another name/nickname for Solomon. The only Biblical references to Lemuel are in Proverbs 31:1 and 4.

Thank You, God, for watching over Mommy and Baby Lemuel Josiah!

Baby Lemuel Josiah arrived today, Wed, Nov 12, 10:0 AM. He weighs 9 pounds and is 21.5 inches long.

CONGRATULATIONS,

Rose & Fanie!

Abigail, Daniel, Liliva, Elisha, Kezia and Kihannah!!


WELCOME, LEMUEL JOSIAH BLIGNAUT!
