Sometimes we look at sights in nature but don't really see. While hiking in the woods the other day, it became a realization that we need to open our heart and eyes to see the beauty of the simple things in nature with each season. There is so much order and purpose in His creation. God has given us awesome beauty in this world to see and enjoy... if we would but stop to see and feel it. Join us as this blog is about stopping to see the real beauty around us...to touch and feel it... "Through the Lens".

Green Eggs and Ham Rally

Gerri and I are attending our first Casita rally. It is being held at Gunter Hill COE outside of Montgomery, Al. There are “eggs, eggs” everywhere, the most we have ever seen. We were able to meet a few people that we have got to know through blogging. We met Jerry and Wanda of http://eggrollings.blogspot.com/ and Lynn and David of http://casitandesert.blogspot.com/. It is really neat to meet folks whose blog you have been reading; it puts the people with their stories.

Last night we went down to the pavilion and enjoyed some music being played by some very talented members of the rally. Jerry had built a really good fire and all was going well until the rains came.

Those rains lasted all during the night, but sounded relaxing as it fell on our egg. This morning the rains were gone, but we know the cold front was pushing them out. The winds have been strong today as it is bringing in the colder temps.

We walked around the campgrounds and stopped by to see some friends we met last year. John and Ellen just happened to be in the area and decided to stay at this campground the same time we are here. We picked up right where we left off last time we saw them. A good time with good friends!

  7. Nothing like sitting around a roaring campfire with some good "homemade" music. My dad always had a guitar in his hand and we loved singing around the fire. Good memories.

  9. I've never been to an egg-gathering. However, Carole and I often run into many types of molded fiberglass trailers on our journeys. More and more, actually, as the years progress.

  11. Will this gathering be held in 2015, and if so, do you know where yet? We didn't know about it until just now. AL would have been close enough to go (we're in North Fla). Looks like a fun group. Is it always around the same time of year?
