Sing me to Heaven

At the bend in the river all our troubles wash away...

"Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me."


How could we not have a blast at this lovely little nook of a vacation spot that we retreat to every year? Two weeks with our fantabulous cousins, and one week with a pretty-much-awesome family from church = Too much fun.


Our theme songs of the weeks were:

'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash
'Big John' by Johnny Cash (with new words by cousins and company. ;-)
'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond <3
'Put a Banana in Your Ear'... don't ask. I'll just say it WASN'T my fault! =D


The beautiful Texas hills. *sigh* I love panoramic views!!

Two downsides of the trip were that the phone service was ridiculously horrible, and I didn't get internet access. But it was all good. Relaxation and reading, combined with bug bites, dam-building (and the bruises that come with that!), plus camping food (yay), and amazing people! You really can't know how wondrous my cousins are!! Every time we get together (not often enough for us!), they are more marvelous. It was a golden vacation.

I laughed when I saw the second to last word of the post. :-)

I missed you so very much, my very, very golden friend.

Love,
Christina

YAAAAAAAAY!! You're home. :D Poor Emily...what hardships she must endure having you for a sister... ;) Kidding, dear, kidding.

Anyhoo, look forward to seeing you at ARC this week. Words cannot express how happy I am to be able to say that...I love fall. :D

Awwwwww! You're making me homesick! It's so beautiful. And you and Emily are hoots. And I have never heard the Banana song. And I miss you something fierce!

There was a man walking through a grocery store, and he saw a man with bananas in his ears. He went over to the man and said: "Excuse me, sir, did you know you have bananas in your ears?"
The man responded: "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Could you speak up? I have bananas in my ears."

That has no connection to the banana song, as far as I know. Just a really lame joke that my Dad has had fun with since I was really little.
Kind of like the Muffin joke. ;-)

Those hills are beautiful...got to see them a whole lot last week, farther north. ('round Lake LBJ).

Talk to ya later.

YAAAAAY, the Einkauf clan has returned from their excursion!! It sounds like you had a lovely time!! I have no cousins anywhere near me (within Texas, anyway), and the ones I do have I rarely see. How blessed you are to have cousins!

Anyway, y'all returned to 60 degree weather!!! It happened on a Tuesday (yesterday, to be exact) and the temperature dropped about 15 degrees in 3 hours. INSANE!!

@ Josie: We miss you too! Lord willing we'll see you sometime soon!! *wink*

God bless,
~Tabby~ <3<3<3

Hello!
Cool blog. Can I add you to my friend's list?

GraceElizabeth

Grace is a 16 year old girl who is striving to follow God's leading, but would be constantly embracing failure if God didn't just sweep her off her feet, sometimes against her will. Music is her first love and expertise: specifically voice, but also piano. She has been trained classically, which is a good thing, most of the time, except when she wants to sing pop style... and can't. Her favorite genres of music are Celtic, Scottish and Irish folk songs/jigs, film music, and broadway show tunes. Grace also takes pleasure in the beautiful diversions of writing poetry, Ultimate Frisbee, sketching, dancing in the rain, Irish Step Dancing, speech and debate tournaments, scrapbooking, acting, reading, photography, standing outside at night while the wind whips the trees every which way, and talking about herself in the third person.
