My Cup Overflows

I've been wanting a little rain so we wouldn't have to water the garden so much, but I think all of this rain is a bit much!  Not only did my cup overflow, but so did our creek bank – BIG time!  This is what it looked like when I looked outside at 6 a.m. - The rain had washed away a big ol' path down our driveway and the creek was rushing almost up to our driveway.  Our neighbor...

Believe

This cache took us to the Martin Homeplace that I blogged about for the 4th of July.  Remember how I told you about their legacy of their family's faith?  Well right at the entrance, they have 3 crosses with A – admit, B – believe and C-confess with the appropriate verses.  The clue was Believe and we found the cache right there by that cross – actually my eagle eye 9 year old...
