Weekend Rewind...

Weekend Rewind....

I am not a complainer but the rainy weather is getting the best of me.  It has rained and I mean torrential rain not just a little shower all spring and now all summer.  We have 13+ above our normal rain fall so far.  Grandson asked me on Friday, "Mamow is it ever going to quit raining"?

Speaking of Friday, hub and I went to get some pizza and bring it back home for daughters and their friends.  I have been hooked on Bella's steak pizza

When we came in the house, daughter was yelling for us to look out the door.

A skunk!!  I quickly closed the door.  We all ate our pizza and didn't see the skunk anymore...until,,,
Later that night, we were all sitting outside.  I was sitting on the bottom step listening to the Tams.  I love this group and hub says to me, honey there is a skunk at your foot.  I froze and then slowly crawled in the house.  Daughters ran in the house while one of their friends jumped and ran around the house-yep skunk starting chasing him.  I live in town-no wild life around anywhere so where did the skunk come from?  When we all had calmed down, I remembered I had left my glass of wine on the steps.  Did I venture out to get it-I grabbed a flashlight and turned on the lights and ventured out to the porch.  No sign of the skunk-whew!  I needed a glass of wine now to calm my nerves!!

The Tams is a group I love to listen to. Saturday the group was close by and hub and I went.

We were't able to stay for the entire concert-Thunderstorms rolled in :(
and when we got home....

our visitor was waiting for us, again!! I am calling animal control first thing in the morning.

Today, raining again-so I am wishing I was somewhere else...



Stay dry if you live close by to my small world  town!  Have a great week and enjoy life.

Some happenings....

I have neglected writing for a while.  Not that I have meant to, but other things have kept me busy.

First-our little business is coming along.  Three months ago this is what it looked like....

Now it is beginning to take on our character....

Walls are all wood
Siding has been replaced, furniture has been built, and chairs have been refurnished.  Yeah!!!  Plans on to open by August/September.  Just in time for school--like I need something else during this time.


Week of June 18 was a full week of Bible School.  We had over 100 children each night.  A true blessing.

Me and 'little man' had 19 children in his age group (3/4 year olds)

This week I have had dental and doctor appointments.  I will not schedule dental and doctor appointments in the same week, that is if I can help it ever!





I have also kept 'little man' some and whew--I have been losing track of time.  I have forgotten how hard it is to clean when a 4 year old is around and trying to juggle everything else that is going on.



Saturday we drove into Boone, North Carolina.  Hub wanted to see the pharmacy and daughter and I wanted to do some shopping.  I absolutely the love country store-of course the first floor is an eye opener-I have never seen so much candy!!!  I picked up a couple of items and $13.00 worth of candy that is after buying a pound of fudge!!  Sugar Shock!!  We ran into some ole friends that use to go to church with us and had a nice long chit chat, saw a friend from school, and ate a nice lunch.  The day was profitable.

Sunday we decided to drive down to the lake.  

Really surprised not to see many enjoying the lake on a gorgeous afternoon.  Hub drove over the dam-now I don't do well with heights....

so I tried taking pictures to get my mind off of the drive.  Of course, hub was saying look how beautiful and I kept reminding him to keep his eyes on the road or else I would drive!!

These are just a few happenings in my life right now.  Looking forward to some R & R time soon!!

30-Day Challenge

Hum.

I miss seeing my parents at a young age and I miss so many 'things' I did as a kid.

My father passed away at a very young age-47 to be exact.  I miss so many things/talks we shared.

Today so many children do not know how to communicate or even play.  There were so many games I played as a kid that did not require any type of technology--examples_  Kick the Can, Dodge Ball, Red Light Green Light, Mother May I, Red Rover-.  Today as I watch children play-they don't know how.

I also missing actually communicating with a person-not texting or listening to a pre-recorded message.

30 Day Challenge

June 20th  I will be celebrating my 32nd anniversary.

 Oh, I do remember my wedding day.  In this picture, I am telling my father, Are you ready for this?

It was a very hot June day.  The church did not have any AC then.  Every time the windows were open the candles would go out.

.
My two flower girls-my aunt's daughter on the left-and my uncles's daughter-also named after me on the right.  Both girls did great.

Our reception was held in a restaurant.

I remember telling hub he had sweat dripping off his nose!!

30 Day Challenge-Looking Forward

Looking forward....

Now that I am a little beyond mid-life, I am looking forward to so many things.  I would love to travel-and unfortunately hub is very content staying in our small town.  On the other hand, I want to see the world.

I am also looking forward to our little business adventure-hub and I plan the Grand Opening in September.  A lot of sweat and muscle power has been used on this little adventure.

I am looking forward to writing the last check to colleges for daughters--YEAH!!!  Being debt free would be great.

I am looking forward to the rest of my summer vacation, and along with that the beginning of a new school year.

30 Day Challenge

OCD---

I am about cleaning up a mess.  I constantly am picking up something, sweeping up a mess, cleaning the dishes.  I know many think I am crazy, but I straighten up my house a lot.

30 Day Challenge

A picture I love:

How about two pictures---The first is of my two daughters-I am so proud of all their accomplishments.

The next picture is of the family.  Relay for Life is one of the organizations we truly hold close to our heart since the 'C' word has now become part of our family.
