Happy 20th Birthday!!!

Happy 20th Birthday "J"

I am going to have to stick to a repeat picture since I can't easily get to my pictures. My oldest is no longer a teenager...she had school today...including a 6pm math class, so we will take her out Friday night to eat. We did have cake and presents, plus last weeks trip to Charlotte for a 3-D movie with her sister was a birthday request.

Mom's puppy was listed as a chihuahua, so not sure if he is a mix of something else too.

I took the cat Monday and got him fixed...and I think the dog is starting to think she is a cat...she has gotten on the back of the couch a few times, I told her she was not a cat. she tried it tonight and fell on the floor...she is okay but I don't think she will get on the back of the couch again.

Take care,

Sheila

Labor Day weekend and beyond...

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. We had a nice Labor Day weekend. Friday night Hubby took me out to the Cimarron Steak House. I was a nice place and the food was good. They have an outdoor patio too, we didn't know that until after we had sat down. We'll have to try it out next time since the weather is turning cooler.

On Saturday we went to a few furniture places, looking for a new counter height dining set for the breakfast area and a new rocker recliner. We did find ones we liked and we will get them Thursday. Salvation Army is coming Tuesday to pick up our table and chairs and a dresser. I guess we'll be using our wooden tray tables for a couple of days...ha. We drove around a few new housing developments also before we headed home.

We headed out again Sunday, Hubby took me by where he works and we went house shopping some more. We went in a few model homes. Monday we just hung around the apartment. I think one weekend we'll head up toward Mount Airy, the town that inspired 'Mayberry'. I think they have a statue of Andy Griffith too.

The girls drove down to Charlotte last night to see Resident Evil afterlife in 3-D at the IMAX theater. They came back with tattoos....no not the real kind...ha.

'J' left her little dog at my parent's while we prepared to move and we went up to get her the weekend before the packers and movers came...I think Mom got a little attached (Dad too, but he probably wouldn't admit it...ha), so when my brother and his family came shortly after, she let the kids talk her into getting her one...They named him Jett...
Well she got up one morning about 4 am to take him out and when she put him back in his bed (in a cage while he's house trained), she didn't close it good...later on that morning she heard something and got up and he had turned on the TV and was hopping around so happy...ha. I guess he got bored with everyone asleep...ha.

Jett again.

That's about it for now...I take the cat on Monday to get fixed, then later on we'll get the dog groomed and get her shots.

Take care Everyone,

ROLL TIDE!!

Scenes from NC...

Hi again,

I didn't tell you, the boy trying to get on the trike in my header is my next to oldest brother Carl.

This is 'Billy Bob's Silver Diner.

Saw it on our way to Kohl's for school clothes.

(the picture doesn't do it justice

but being reflective didn't help)

Atop the St**bucks drive-through

I think Jack has a business on the side

Who knew Belmont was on the road to my
daughter's school ?

Take care,

Sheila

Time for school...

Hi Everyone,

Since it is a new school year I thought it was time for change on the blog...gone are the beach and water scenes until next year.

We are all doing well. 'J' started her second year of college yesterday and 'C' started her senior year today. She seemed to be in a good mood this morning, they don't start school until 8:55 a.m., She started at 7:25 a.m. at her old school...and she can wear regular clothes, no uniforms. After dropping her off at school I drove around to see our new town...or village, since they call it the Village of Clemmons.

I made a stop at Starbucks on the way back home.

Still some things to do to get the apartment in order...had to take time for school shopping and such.

Hope everyone is having a great week,
take care,
Sheila

We're here...

Hi,
Just a quick post because I am tired...ha. We made it to Greensboro, NC Monday night around
9 pm. We are in the corporate apartment right now. The movers will get here tomorrow at our apartment in Clemmons, NC...though the mailing address is Winston-Salem. Got 'J' registered in college and 'C' registered in high school.

Take care Everyone,
I'll be back soon,
Sheila

Final countdown...

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile...We are getting ready to move...the packers are here today and tomorrow and they will load the truck Friday. I have someone coming Saturday to clean the carpets in the bedrooms and upstairs landing.

Don't forget me...I'll be back in the swing of things soon.

Take care,
Sheila
