Pics (ON the deck)

CASA SHALOM (in Alto, New Mexico.....our Home away from home...)
Here is a look as you walk onto our deck.
There is a bench (front, right) around the tree in our deck,
our small "breakfast table" on the left....
Trailer entrance on right....
And in the back is our dinner table.
We watch deer from there, relax, dine,
play music, etc etc etc.



Here are pics from our breakfast table. You can see that we can watch the deer just below us, and this is where we often eat breakfast, and just "lounge". It is a beautiful & peaceful place to be!!!


We spend as much time up here as we can. We are about to head home now, but we be back in a couple of weeks!!! YEAH!!!
Hope each of you have a super-blessed week!!!
God's love & mine,

Beautiful Alto, NM


Hey everybody!

Clay & I are enjoying our last day of a long weekend here in Alto, NM (just north of Ruidoso). The weather has been beautiful, but overnight turned windy and is much colder today. We call our little 5th-wheel, home away from home, "Casa Shalom".....and it is just that.....such a place of peace for us. We will return home today and I start a week of call starting tomorrow (Tuesday). I finally got the green light to return back to full work last Wednesday from my orthopedic doctor, after falling and breaking and dislocating my right shoulder. It has been a LONG 6 weeks of rehab and healing......but God is soooooooooooo good, and did just that. GO GOD! Hope you all have a super-blessed week! ......... I'm gonna.

God's love & mine,

P.S. ~ Ambs had a great weekend in West Virginia, rock climbing at Seneca Rocks. Hopefully I will get some pics from her and can post some here later this week.

Howdy from Texas!

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted here. I was reminded by a family member that she stops by and checks for updates.....and that it has been a while. LOL!
Same ol' stuff......work & church. Clay & I got to go to Ruidoso a couple of weekends ago and had a great time. Wrote a couple of new songs while we were away.
We are having a revival at church (Lamesa Christian Fellowship) right now. It started on Feb. 13, and continues, 6 nights a week (Sat nights off) even now. We have seen a LOT of salvations, healing and deliverance. Incredible times in the Lord!!!
Clay had his 6-month PSA (prostate bloodwork) this past week, and we will get the results this next week. Just a routine checkup. He is doing GREAT!!! You can check Clay out on YouTube, playing a little Samba Pa Ti. He put that on there last night (Friday night).
The kids all seem to be doing well. Britt & Merrida are in Nashville. She teaches Ballroom Dancing and Britt is still at the Guitar Center as an Asst. Mgr (in-training). Britt is also learning some dancing moves from Merrida, and has gotten into rock-climbing.
Ambs is still in DC. Is MUCHO into rock-climbing. Is still mulling over going to Law School this fall, and is starting to get those acceptance letters, but is also looking into all her options. The kids are going on a rock-climbing/camping trip to Kentucky in April. Ambs is just getting over a round of chicken pox.
Everybody is great! Hope you are all well as well. I will try & update more often!
Have a super-blessed weekend!!!
