Grandpa and Grandma's last Sunday in Houstonia...

In the upper left hand corner of this picture there
are two boots on the wall. They have been there
since I was child. I think it has something to do with
birthdays but I always remembered these being on
the wall there...yes, the weird stuff I remember!


Grandpa serving communion for the last time
in Houstonia. Everything was very emotional.


There was a dinner for Grandpa and Grandma
after church! Gotta love pot lucks!


Ah...


We can't be serious ALL day!


Brian and his sis!

Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon on the front porch
Grandpa Grandma and Kayla


Joshua and Brian showing their grills:) I love it
when Joshua makes mean faces!


I remember sleeping on this porch swing one night.
Many hours I can't even begin to fathom were spent out
on their front porch. So sad...so many changes! There
hasn't been a Christmas that I wasn't at Grandpa and
Grandma Smiley's. Many, many Easter's and Homecoming's.


I had to include this picture...only in Houstonia MO!!!
You better STOP cause there's nowhere else! I'm going to
miss this place and certainly Grandpa and Grandma being there!
