Today we had a gathering at our house for my Mom's birthday. I prepared a lasagna dinner with allof the fixings and we had a nice birthday cake too. Inky my little dog was very happy to have all of the company but when we brought the big girl, Sweetie in he went to the other room. Sweetie just had to sit with Mom & Dad. She is such a loving addition to our family. I cannot believe anyone would have mistreated her, but they did. She came to us when she was 7 months old, with a skin infection and almost all the way around her neck was raw. We all love her vey much, except for Inky! He was the ruler of the house for 7 years and he still doesn't like to share. She is about 1 1/2 now and very sweet and loving. My whole family loves dogs. I am so happy to have mine. Inky came from the pound when he was 7 weeks old. We did get a little snow last night and cold temperatures today...

  2. No I didn't make it just a pretty picture that I found. I love things like that though.... Our little Inky is quite the character and we love him very much! He is 7 years old and starting to get a lot of gray which makes us sad. I hope we have him for a long time.

Easter Fun

I have so many wonderful memories of going to church on Easter Sunday with my family. We always got new Easter dresses and pocketbooks. Up to open Easter baskets on the kitchen table and then getting ready for church and hearing of God's resurrection!. My little brother who loved food, always had trouble keeping away from the sweets before church. After church we had big dinners and when we were really young all got together at Grandma Landon's for Easter egg hunts that lasted the whole day or so it seemed! Visiting with out of state cousins and having lots of fun!

Winter memories

Added some pictures today. They are from winter 2009 & 2010. Some beautiful pictures from our area and of course my kids , furry ones too. We actually saw some sunshine today but are under another weather advisory until tommorrow afternoon. All I can say is it sure is white & cold!

Hope you all are staying safe & warm

Happy New Year

The New Year has come in with a vengance!!!! We have about 3 1/2 ft of snow on top of ice & old snow & it is still coming down. It seems like a real old fashoined winter. The holidays came and went. It just didn't seem like Christmas this year. Family problems, Grandma' s in the nursing homes.... I sure hope that 2010 will be better. I am very thankful for the blessings in my like & struggle with the other. I found this on the web yesterday & loved it I hope this is the Prayer for 2010

~ Christ be the Love of thy year! Mayest thou love him and all thou has art, May he love thee still more with His Great Heart, Each grow to each more intimate and dear; Christ be thy Love this year! Wishing All a Peaceful & Tranquil 2010 with lots of LOVE!
Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind." -- Helen Steiner

Happy Birthday Ryan - March 9th, 2009

At 8:33 pm this evening my son will be exactly 18 years old! I just cannot believe it. He weighed 7 lbs 12.6 ounces and was 21 inches long. I was amazed and quite overwhelmed with my wide eyed little boy. We have went through the Barney days, Power Ranger, BatMan & Spiderman, trick bikes, lots & lots of basketball and now girls!!!!! I love my son very much and am very pround of him. My little boy with the golden curls has turned into a very handsome young man.

How will March arrive

I always remember bulletin boards at school with lambs and lions when it comes to March. I wonder which way March will arrive..... The weatherman says snow flurries on Saturday so I am thinking in like a lion!
