VACATION PICS

I am so behind on so many things.  I have about 500 pictures I need to process and print, scrapbooking that has been abandoned for far too long and various household projects that are going to wait until my guys get settled in at WKU.  So, today, I decided to take a little while and [...]

Well, it’s almost time to hit the road for VACATION!!!!
We are meeting up with two other families who are already on their way this morning (they left at 5:30, ugh).  We are leaving tomorrow right after church, headed for Alabama to spend the night with my brother and then on to the beach, the sun, the [...]

 Well, we did it again–GRADUATION NIGHT!  A zillion people and hot, hot, hot.  Did I cry? – not until we got in the car to leave and College Boy asked did I cry this much when he graduated—-Hubbie answered, no–MORE! 
I have to say, now that it is over, I don’t quite feel the same sadness that [...]

Another display of splendor

Just had to share this beautiful creature with you.  As some of you know I have been working to update some of the landscaping around our house—a lot of sweat equity going on here.  I love the garden.  I love the dirt.  I love the earthworms and the bees and the butterflies.  I DO NOT [...]

Prom

 
   Our last prom!  I stressed all day about Kid#2 taking off to drive to BG and then back at midnight.  But, that just shows how little faith I operate in sometimes.  God got them there and got them back safe and sound—thank you, Jesus.  They looked so nice, don’t you think.  They went together as [...]

Tax Day Surprise

Aren’t these flowers beautiful.  Again, thanks to the dear friend who brightened my day last week. 

Need prayer intervention

This is my dear friend and colleage, Christy.  Christy was diagnosed a little over 6 years ago with colon cancer.  She had one colon surgery and full course of chemo.  She was totally sick during the chemo.  About a year later, there was a second occurance of the cancer and she had more colon removed, [...]

new for spring

This year for Christmas, my hubbie got me all this Vera Bradley stuff.  I loved the pattern and I guess he figured more was better.  Anyway, I have saved it to use when springtime came.  There is the bag, (and it has pockets ALL the way around the inside) glasses case, wallet, cosmetics bag, umbrella [...]

I’ve been visiting the Pioneer woman again!!!  This is her lasagna and is it ever good!  This woman is the Martha Stewart of the prairie.  Saturday afternoon at work (kind of slow with Easter and all) I got to do some indepth research on her site and decided to give this a try.  It was [...]

Easter presentation - supreme

Saturday evening hubbie and I attended our church’s Easter presentation.  A combination of music and drama.  I wasn’t sure just what my reaction would be this year, since the gentleman who played Jesus in past presentations died this year.  But, the music was sooo good.  The choir sounded great and they ended with the Hallelujah [...]

The evolution of a snowman

Taken on Saturday afternoon.  Kid #2 got bored.  He had been outdoors riding on a sled pulled by a 4 wheeler.  So, I asked if he wanted to go out and do a snowman.  HE did, but thought I would disturb his creative genius.
Anyway,  I enjoyed watching the process and thought I would share.  I [...]

Valentine Banquet….(highschool memories)

Last night was our church’s Valentine banquet.  It’s really not much about Valentines day, especially is it was almost 2 weeks after Valentines Day.  The purpose of the banquet is really to raise funds for the youth for summer camp.  This year the theme was School Spirit.  They went all out with a school bus, [...]

Cardinal watching……

This little guy sat in the willow tree outside my bedroom window and watched me ironing clothes this morning.  Every time I would move he would look at the window.  Isn’t he beautiful.  About the time I finished ironing, he flew off as if to say “I’ll see you again another day”.  Hope you enjoy.

Did you see the eclipse last night??

Last night we had a lunar eclipse.  I really wanted to get a good picture before it went totally dark, but it was cold and I was freezing my tail off.  Shivering, it was really hard to get a clear picture, but I thought this one turned out to be interesting.  I never ceased to [...]

Hubbie did good!

Look at what hubbie got me for V-Day.  12 hearts for Valentines day and they are all semi-precious stones.  The one I am wearing today is hematite.  He ordered this from Danbury Mint.  He is so sweet♥
The little jewelry box was an added bonus.  I just love this man!!!

Snowy morn

Well, we woke up to snowflakes falling.  Even though I am not a big fan of snow, I can’t help but admit it is so beautiful.  A blanket of purity covering all that is ugly.  Kind of fitting after the disaster of the previous week.  Just had to post a picture.
No snow day for us [...]

blue tongue

This one is just for you Stacey.  Just look at this little angel!

The next heavy metal duo or just two teens having fun???

This picture just cracks me up.  (By the way, they did this while I was at work.)  This is the creativity of my Kid#2 and a buddy of his.  They think they are two cool dudes.  I love it.  I love them.  I love their sense of knowing no limitations.  I love the optomism of [...]

Birthday celebration

Last Saturday we celebrated the birthdates of College Boy and grandma.  We had dinner at Raferty’s in a nearby college town.  College town (this is where College Boy attends) will also have college girls!  This cute little waitress was particularly attentive to College Boy.  You can see that he really didn’t mind at all.  Also, [...]

Silent Night, Holy Night

 It is almost here………………….Tonight we had a candlelight service—singing Christmas songs, the Christmas story, and then Silent Night, with candles lifted up.  I love the way the candles glow with the lights off.  Althought this year has brought many sad events, it is wonderful to be able to lift a candle with a heart of [...]
