THE OHIO BUCKEYE TREE
A LITTLE STORY FOR YOU THIS MORNING…
A man used to grumble at the food his wife placed before him at meal time. Then he would ask the blessing.
One day after his usual combination complaint and prayer his little girl asked, "Daddy, does God hear us when we pray?"
"Why, of course," he replied. "He hears us every time we pray."
"And does he hear everything we say the rest of the time?"
"Yes, every word," he replied, encouraged that he had inspired his daughter to be curious about spiritual matters.
Innocently she burst his bubble with her next question. "Then which does God believe?"
Think about it, I am for sure…

GOOD MORNING !
We are leaving here bright and early this morning. It takes almost 2 hours to DS#6’s place where we will pick them up and head to their church first thing this morning. Then we’ll travel to the Apple Butter Festival about ½ hour away from there. Lots and lots of driving today.
When we get to the festival there will be lots and lots of walking to do too. I’ll probably be one tired out old lady when I get home, but you know that when I have a chance to get together with some of my babes, I always make the most of the opportunity.
More pictures will be coming of our day, but I probably won’t get to enter them until tomorrow. I hope you got to look at the ones I put up last evening of the day with the campers. It’s been a great weekend.
To answer one of the questions in my comments yesterday- My dulcimer buddy is one of my dear friends that also plays a musical instrument known as the dulcimer. There are 3 of us that get together every month to do this. I play a mountain lap dulcimer. I'll have to put some pictures up of that in a future post.

The pictures of your family of wonderful. What a neat place for them to go with the kids and have fun. Do they own their lot? Seems like they're always in the same spot. I loved the little cabin. Have fun today too! Joni
Liked the story makes you think. That buckeye looks very much like our conkers we get from the Horse Chestnut tree.
