Welcome to our family blog to keep you updated on all the happenings around the Walker cottage and "farm". Even though we live in a rural section of the Tennessee Mountains life is far from boring as you will see.

Summer Happenings

On a hot summer weekend Randy & Dawn came up so that Randy could help Dwight fix the hole in the workshop roof that had been struck by lightning. At first Dana managed to stay on the ground,


although it kept him busy trying to tell the guys on the roof how to do it. The fellows had strict orders not to let Dana on the roof!

Before I knew it Dana had climbed up a ladder to "help" the guys.

Meanwhile Annette and William had fun up on the roof as well. Then I had William climb up my pear tree to help shake out some pears for me that I couldn't reach.

After lunch Dana and Dawn took a nap (Dana was totally exhausted from the morning's work and Dawn was still in the early stages of her pregnancy.) While they slept the guys and I burned some brush and then we roasted marshmallows on the fire with the grandkids. What fun!


One weekend recently Dwight brought Case up to the house to visit. We hadn't seen Case for several months. He had grown so much.



Wake up, Papa! Let's play!!!



Case had fun making cookies and helping Grandma wash the dishes. Case is such a busy little boy- continual action. He managed to keep us three adults on our toes the entire weekend. We loved having Case with us again.
