More Than A Song

David did fire away……..on the last night of our vacation there was a sort of lightning storm at dusk. It rained every evening that we were there, mostly just a short sprinkle but sometimes more. This last night we were waiting around the lodge for an ice cream party when it started lightning. David wanted […]

Hopefully this will be the last part! After all the hiking, swimming and horseback riding, it was decided we’d go whitewater rafting one day, on Thursday. I sort of wanted to go since everyone else was going but the ranch tried & tried to find another babysitter but no one was available so I stayed […]

We did several hikes while on vacation in Colorado and on that Monday afternoon after our wrangler’s breakfast hike, we took a trip with a group from the ranch up to a place called Cottonwood Pass. We drove about 25 miles away up to about 12,000 feet for snowsliding on a patch of snow still […]

A few weeks ago we finally decided what we’d do for vacation……Colorado isn’t new to us but we went to a dude ranch, a very new experience for us! It’s a christian guest ranch and was a really nice place to go; I think everyone had fun. We flew out on Saturday a week ago […]

On Saturday we helped Elizabeth move to Tuscaloosa where she will start grad school in a few weeks. She’ll actually be back home in a few days to finish up some things here and to go on vacation with us! She put all her things in a storage locker last month so we had to […]

Went shopping with Elizabeth on Tuesday……..she is needing/wanting some new things before school starts and we were also looking for things we might take on vacation with us. Struck out on lots of those but she did find a few new things to add to her wardrobe for school. We had fun but were very […]

Maybe it was all weekend long. 🙂 Liz has been here some before she moves off to go back to school & work, so Chris came to visit this weekend. Plus David came up on Saturday, with a friend, so we could celebrate his birthday with him a little bit! They waited until almost supper […]

Yesterday hubby called D and arranged for him to pick up parts for him in Arkansas somewhere and deliver them back to a job in the delta (this is the 2nd time this week he’s used him to run parts) He wanted D to be in Arkansas by 8:30 this morning so that meant he […]

We camped a good bit when the kids were younger; mostly because it was a way we could take long trips and see lots of the country without spending too much money! And because it gave everyone some different experiences and gave us time to be together as a family. We didn’t eat out very […]

I have been lucky most of my life in finding money….I pick it up whenever I see it, pennies or any amount. Sometimes I think it is because I’m looking down so much when I walk rather than looking out into the world. But E gives me a hard time about picking up pennies and […]

Last week I did a meme about movies, here. So the story that goes with it will probably only mean something to my kids & they won’t see this but here it is! When all 4 kids started getting older, with longer legs, we switched from a minivan to a full size van…..big with an […]

We helped E move out of her apartment on Friday; she is going to grad school in a few weeks and needed to be out of this apartment by the end of June. So most of her stuff is now in a storage locker but we did bring some things home with us. Now I […]

Misty watercolor memories………… A few days ago, the guys were playing golf again (surprise, surprise) and Stacy & I went shopping again for a little while….another huge surprise! But we also drove around some and took a few photos, some of things out of our past. I got a couple of the jr high/high school […]

The doctor called back late yesterday to give us the results of the biopsy………both of mine are cancerous and will have to be taken out but none of Don’s three places were. His are pre-cancerous and can be dealt with by freezing them. No fair that I have to be cut on! He was the […]

Today is Shanna’s birthday! I hope she has a fun day and a good time. Since it’s on the weekend, don’t forget the birthday rules and make everyone do what you want to do for the weekend! We’ll miss being with you and hope to see you soon! Happy Birthday!
