SMELSER FAMILY PICTURES

My Friend Judy and her kids!

My friend Judy and her 2 kids went with me to our Church's Trunk or Treat, Hay Ride, and Chili supper last night. We had a good time, and had a really good turn out for the event. I have this picture in with my Slide show up above, but it is such a good picture of them, that I wanted to post it at a larger version.

Ashley and her Friend Charlie

I took this picture of Ashley and Charlie while we were at the Paragould Community Center on Saturday. We were haveing my dad's family reunion there, and they had the Fall and Halloween decorations setting around the lobby .

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?

I have a lot of memories of this Train, does anyone else?

Jimmie and Nadine Green

Here are a couple of pictures that Ashley took of mom and dad while they were up visiting us at the cabin this Saturday.

Old Pictures in the Lafe and Hooker area

I received these pic's from Melissa Harris (Jackson) They are old pictures taken in the Hooker and Lafe area. I think one of them was taken on Stonewall.

MORE PIC"S OF OUR CABIN

STEVE WORKING ON OUR SCREEN DOOR

ME ON THE SWING

THE BACK DECK...not finished

WE PUT THE ICE PICK UP ON WALL

My dad gave these Carbide lights, Steve was really proud to get them.

I picked this up at a yard sale, I wonder how old it is? Steve really liked it as well.


This belonged to my grandma Erie...she used it to slice ham and bologna on.



Ok, I know some of you are so tired of me posting more pic's of the cabin. Steve and I were up there this past weekend and I took a few more shots of the inside as well as the deck that he built on the back. We shot our 22's from the back deck at some targets, and had a good time. I think I can shoot better than Steve thought I could. Of course he says his 22 is more accurate than mine.

I had also gotten a few things from dad, (antiques) and we put some more of them up on the walls.

ASHELY and CHARLIE

Here is a pic of Ashley on her 2nd day of school, and also one of her and her friend Charlie on our trip to Sam A Baker this past weekend.

Our family and our friends Jesse, Judy and their boys Derek and Brian arrived at Sam A Baker around 8:30 am on Friday morning. Our friends Terry , Melissa and their daughter Brittany arrived on the night before around 6:00. We had 3 really nice camping stops and had really good weather for camping out. The water was great, JUST RIGHT for swimming. The kids and the MEN of course had a blast swinging out on the rope. The women just enjoyed relaxing and floating around on our tubes.







Sunday morning we all got up around 7:00 and started getting things packed up, we wanted to go home a little earlier than usuall, all had some things they wanted to get done around the house. GUESS WHAT! we had a flat on the camper about 30 min into the drive home, and after getting the spare tire on we realized it was VERY low on air. Steve took it back off and we unhooked the camper and left it at the side of the highway and headed to Poplar Bluff to get air put in the tire, then back we went to get it put back on and headed home again , we made a quick stop at McDonalds in Corning to get a little lunch.

My dad's 70th Birthday!

We all went to my mom and dads for his birthday on July 26th, we had cake , Ice Cream, and a very large watermelon. The watermelon came from Kirts, he is produce magager at Country Mart, and he found a nice large pretty mellon to bring. Kirtis is overseeing his dad cut the watermelon . My mom also had a birthday on July 2st, Steve and I were at the cabin that weekend and she had a Class reunion so we missed having a get together for her. We just took her gift for her to open when we had dads. Actually we got them somthing together . LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!

Frank and Jane visit us at our cabin

Steve's cousin Frank and his wife Jane came to visit us at our cabin the day before the reunion. We sure enjoyed their visit, and hope that they will get to come again. It had just rained right before they arrived and the river bank was a little muddy, Frank got his nice new shoes all muddy. Sorry about that FRANK.

We had a fish fry, with all the trimmings from the fish that Steve and Jesse had caught from the river that day, well I think we had to thaw some out from the freezer too, HA! wasnt a good fishing day.

The pictrure is a little blury, the lighting just wasnt right.

There were 10 adults and 4 children at the McLeskey Reunion 2006, it was held at Lind and Bill's house. It was a very hot day, and since there were not many there we had it inside. Good food as always and I enjoyed visiting with the family, Ashley and I attended by ourselves , Steve had lots to do that day, he canned tomato juice, worked on the cabin, and had some people to see about building a house. I didnt take many picture's but here are a few. For those of you who were not there, WE MISSED YOU!
