Boomer, the country boy

This picture was taken last August when we lived in Salem. Our little country boy fits in quite well here. For those of you who aren't familiar with the geography out here, Centralia is only about twenty miles away from Salem. There is a real southern country feel to this town. I really quite like living among farmers and country folk. For the most part they are humble and kind people that are willing to reach out a hand of friendship to newcomers such as ourselves. Yesterday some friends from church babysat Boomer while we went to a fireside. When we pulled up to their house, there was a horse, three dogs, five cats and a rooster in their yard. It brought back memories of my days in North Carolina.
(The main reason I put this picture on here was to test out my ability to add pictures to our Blog. I will be thrilled if it works!)
