Sweet Kobie

We have had a rather traumatic few days. Our beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel got sick on Friday and after surgery and a horrible weekend, we had to put him to sleep Monday. It was just so sad. We all loved that dog. He was the perfect companion to each of us. No matter what we were doing, he would just sit there (or lay with us). He had the sweetest personality and could sense when one of us was upset. He will be greatly missed. Even Don, a known dog hater, loved that dog. All our pictures are on the other computer, so when I figure out how to add them I will.

Success

My sweet son (HSC graduate) just helped me upload the pictures of the luncheon. I do think it turned out nicely. Please call A Dozen Eggs if you need any cookies. They were so easy to work with, thanks Dave, and they came packaged so beautifully. They tasted good also!

Busy Bee!!

Wow, where has the time gone? Between our 3rd son graduating from Hampden-Sydney (best school in the nation!!) and 3 weddings, my head is spinning. I had the privileged of directing the wedding of dear little girl a couple of weeks ago. She went to high school with my 2 youngest, and my daughter was in the wedding. What a sweet young couple. We also hosted the bridesmaids luncheon the day before. The bride seemed pleased, and I think everything looked beautiful! We ordered the favors from A Dozen Eggs. They were adorable.

aaaghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I evidently have a mouse in my kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess he came in with my newest college graduate! GROSSS!!!!! There is nothing more disgusting then a mouse. This is the thanks I get for a $120,000.00 education.
On the brighter side, when I get this mess cleaned up this will be my treat to myself www.hobointernational.com ! Have to have some type of inspiration!

Lazy Blogger!

I am probably the laziest blogger around! We have had a busy month, with a college graduation (third son) and our daughter finishing her 2nd year at school. Now, all of their stuff has surfaced back here, and they think the living room is code for storage!!! I am about to scream!! Since the economy is so bad, college graduate is going to work at summer camp and then head to Ethiopia to do mission work. Daughter is home until July, then going to study in Brighton, England. What happened to summer jobs at the drug store and trips to the beach?? Seriously, I grew up in an Air Force family, and it's nice to see my children have the travel bug!
Daughter and I did some shopping last week and we are in love with Hobo wallets!! She got one and now all I can do is think about getting one myself! They are so useful, and come in pink!!
I am in the middle of making new panels for our den. We are having a dear friend's bridemaids luncheon next Friday. Must get busy!!
As Memorial Day comes and goes, please thank the men and women who protect us--like my daddy did! Thanks Daddy!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We had an awesome weekend, complete with a beautiful worship service yesterday. The music was beautiful! We had everyone home, but #1 son, who couldn't get away. #2 son's birthday was yesterday (25!!), and we took him and his bestest out for dinner Saturday night. It is so great to see these children (as I call them) grow up!! Bugster had to sing at her for-pay church job, so she came home later in the afternoon! She is home today, so we are going shopping before she has to go back to school. All in all, a great weekend. I now need to clean, clean, clean. I also need to start cooking, as I have about forgotten how!! I love the Annie's Eats blog, she has the best recipes! Have a great day!

Manic Monday!!!

I do wish it would clear up! It has been raining since Friday. We need it, but COLD AND RAIN?? Come on, it is almost Spring. Funny thing happened yesterday at church. I had to make a presentation, looking for volunteers. Wore a cute Lilly shift (hot pink and black print-like Hopsy) with a turtleneck and tights. I looked very cute if I do say so myself. The thinking was: if I looked cute and excited, how could the congregation not be excited to join my committee! Well, after worship, someone asked me if I had on an APRON!!! This is in the South, land of Lilly!! oh, well, you can't account for good taste!
I am off to Target!
