Will it ever stop?

So, it started snowing around noon today. It was such a wet snow that we had to bring the kids in from recess because they were getting as wet as if they were standing in a downpour. It snowed on and off all afternoon. We got about 3 inches. When I came out of the [...]

March 28 – SNOW DAY!!!!

I have enjoyed my day…I slept it, ran errands (including taking care of my passport for the Alaskan Cruise – need it to get into Canada), did some housework and plan to just play on the computer tonight.
Have you ever heard of MissusSmartyPants? (Hey Lindsey, she is based in MATTHEWS!) I found her through FLYlady. [...]

He is not here…He is risen…

My friend, Becky, calls today Resurrection Sunday or Resurrection Day. What a gift to know that Jesus Christ has conquered death. Some day the family of Christ will be together with Him and there will be no more death, no more tears, no more sadness because He is no longer in the tomb, but has [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Now, I’m not Catholic or Irish, but I married an Irishman and have always been fascinated by Ireland. I guess you can attribute that to watching John Wayne in “A Quiet Man” way too many times when I was young. Anyway, my Mom has been to Ireland two times and Katie has been once. I [...]

Wisdom tooth and dancing with the Wii…

So, I had the tooth out yesterday. It went OK – although it was strange when I could hear the tooth crackling as it was coming loose. I had to focus on breathing in the lovely nitrous oxide so that I didn’t focus on the sound. I was glad Hilary was there to drive me [...]

God’s sense of humor…

In writing in my journal to God on Wednesday I asked for a glimpse of what He was up to regarding our future. Within the next 4 days I got glimpses, but of three different options! These were options I was already aware of, so it was a “glimpse”, but not a specific answer/direction. [...]

And the winner is….

We just got the text message and she won! Congrats Ree – we love you and are proud of you!

Freezing Rain…Freezing Rain…Freezing Rain!

That’s what I am singing today instead of “let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”. We had a “freezing rain” day…no school. John didn’t work either – too dangerous for the trucks on the side roads and driveways. We enjoyed the day and Katie is home from college so we had extra time [...]

Lazy Day…

Church was fine and I filled in for a Sunday School teacher – showed the kids the Easter story video – an old Hanna Barbera. We took Katie to Jake’s for seafood and then John cleared the snow out of some more of the driveway. Katie is now at Johnny’s “jamming” with her boys [...]

Two Posts in One Day…wow!

Hilary is running for Publicity “Director?” – not sure what the title is but it will pay a BIG chunk of her tuition next year if she gets is. Voting is March 6th. Below are three of her posters floating around campus…all designed by her – can you tell what her major is?
