Dr. Ange's Mission Trip - Honduras - July 2010

Our daughter Dr. Ange on her first mission trip with Baptist Medical Missions. So many people helped Ange on her long journey to become a vet... She was so thankful that she could go and give... She was the first Vet that this team had taken... She has been blessed beyond measure.

Dr. Ange working in the mission field in Honduras. This picture is one of my favorites that she shared... She did not get there soon enough for this animal, it died later in the day. I know my daughter, and I know her deep campassion for animals and their owners. I am sure when this picture was taken her heart was heavy. "That's my girl"

Yes, Dr. Ange can milk a cow. Healthy livestock...makes for a healthy food source. She feels so blessed that she could help.

It is important to have healthy pets too.

Vaccinating and worming goats. Healthy animals ... Healthy people. Livestock is their livelihood.

Vaccinating a horse. Horses are used for work and transportation... A very important animal for the people of Honduras. Thank goodness for the guys that helped...the animals were NOT use to a visit from the Vet.

Vaccinating a donkey. The donkey is a heavily used work animal also.

Doing Vet work in the villages of Honduras. Hard work? Yes, but so rewarding.

Giving out arm bands to the children in Honduras.

PEACEFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND IN THE MOUNTAINS OF KY

We slept so well at night in this big ole comfy bed. It was peaceful with the windows open and the cool night air flowing in. Only hearing sounds of crickets, little critters of the night and the whooperwill holloring right outside the window. Life is good in the mountains.

A few cabin pictures.




Yummy food for the grill(thank you Dodson sisters for all the fresh veggies to take camping) There is nothing like cabbage, onions, and bacon seasoned with butter, salt and pepper. **Click on pictures to enlarge

I woke up Saturday morning to the smell of fresh perked coffee and bacon frying! He doesn't cook breakfast often so it was a nice surprise. We were married 33 yrs on Friday, July 2nd... guess he is a keeper. ha

Our outdoor kitchen at the cabin.

I just love this old corn crib. We had one like this at our house when I was a child.

One of my favorite getaways. I LOVE this place.

Yep, His and Hers outhouses!

Steps to loft...the two bottom steps were from the orginal cabin.

No AC, no fans but the air flow through the well designed cabin was great.

One of two fireplaces in the cabin.

I love this old pickett fence around the mountain. My granny had one like this and I remember seeing her drape clothes over it to dry.

I decorated graves of great great grandparents and great grandma and great grandpa at an old family cemetery (my momma's side) in Owltown. The cemetery is located way back in the mountains of southern Wayne Co. KY.

Great Great Grandparents grave.
