Tulsa Friends from Zimbabwe

Everyone has a story and this one is pretty special.  This is Dr. Graham Chadd from Zimbabwe who now lives in Tulsa. His and Hunter's paths crossed last week. Hunter recognized his accent as being from Zim and the connection began. Graham and his wife Sheryl have twin daughters. It just so happens that his daughter Jennifer, is 1 year behind Tanner in Dental school. Tanner knows her. With all this being said, I'm pretty sure we were supposed to meet this wonderful family.  Our paths have come close to meeting on several occasions, but it  wasn't until he and Hunter met that it all came to be. They came to visit Tarbone Ranch. Maybe we can visit them in Zim one day.
Graham's life long friend George, who lives in Zimbabwe was here visiting the Chadds.
Ken took them fishing at ET and they caught a few.

Our cotton spider has been entertaining us lately. Feeding her grasshoppers is fun.
She sees the hopper wiggling around in her web and she goes for him.
It only takes a few seconds for her to wrap her dinner.
With a spin of the web he is ready!
Yummmm!
Mushrooms are a good sign that we've had rain this year.. What a blessing.

The bucks are starting to look good!

What a wonderful visit from our new friends. Hope to see you back soon. =)

Great! I'm glad that all worked out for everyone. It looks like everyone had a good time.
Also those spider pictures are a little creepy.

And Sheryl calls those spiders 'zip' spiders - as their tracks look like zippers !!
