The 4th and Family...

We had a wonderful 4th of July. My brother Carl and his family were here over the weekend. My youngest brother Shawn and his family got here early Sunday morning and left Friday evening. A friend I graduated with set the boys up with a golf game at the country club on Sunday afternoon (yes, the little town I'm from has a country club believe it or not...ha).

The girls went for a pedicure in Enterprise while the boys played golf. We had a lot of company during the week. We ate good too...ha. Grilled hamburgers, brats, sausage and chicken, Grilled fajitas another night, a night out at the Mexican restaurant and of course a steak night.

Now all that's left are me and the girls. We'll head home on Saturday. Jarin is heading down to Mobile to see her friends today. Cori went down and stayed with friends the first week we were here. I have been reading and catching up with my blogs. Jack I need to find the owner of that 'Alabama RV' so I can buy it...ha.

Have a great day and try to stay cool in this heat!
Take care,
Sheila

Greetings from Alabama, wish you were here...

It is time to catch you up a little. The girls and I headed down to Alabama last Saturday. It was a good trip and the weather was nice. Saw a pretty sunset, then later on a cloud full of lightning, but it stayed in the cloud. It was kind of neat. From the previous post, we survived graduation, then on June 16th and 17th Cori and I had to attend ‘SOAR’ at UNC Greensboro. I am still recovering from that…ha. We were both ‘sore’ from that experience, lots of walking. But she is registered for classes in the fall and we have a good supply of pens and such from the expo on the last day. Met another Mother who is a Fannie Flagg fan (Fried Green Tomatoes Author).

We had a thunderstorm and rain Tuesday; electricity went out for about an hour.
My brothers and their families from Atlanta and San Antonio should be here this weekend and Hubby too. All the animals have become re-acquainted…ha. I ate my broasted chicken tonight, forgot to get some at Christmas. There will be a fireworks show at the lake on July 4th.

Okay I’ve caught you up for now. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend.

Take care,
Sheila

After the ceremony...didn't waste time shedding the gown

Well our youngest has graduated high school.  We ordered a DVD of the graduation and they will have some photos available for purchase also. We tried to find R3d L0bst3r afterward but the GPS took us to S@ms Club...Hubby said "I guess we can go in S@ms and buy some shrimp"...ha.  So we went to her second choice....IH0P...

We will celebrate with family and friends when we head to Alabama soon. 

Hubby also celebrated a birthday on the 5th. He says he's not counting them anymore. 

We are 'enjoying' hot temps, followed by mild stormy weather with a little rain, that cools things off a little. 

Take care,

Sheila

Happy 25th Anniversary...

 The Early Years...

Christmas 1986 at Hubby's parents.

Summer of '87

Sometime in 1988

We had a good holiday weekend. Went and looked inside a couple of homes over the weekend. Monday morning we went out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Hubby asked if I wanted to go out tonight, but I'd rather wait until the weekend. We are getting into the 90's here, though the temp gauge in my car shows 100 degrees yesterday and today.  Tomorrow is dental check-up day for us girls.

Take care,

Sheila

Memorial Day...

For those that didn't make it home

Catching up...

Yes, we are still here. I had a good Mother's Day, I received two new books, Shania Twain's and Betty White's and a t-shirt. We've been checking out new housing areas when we find them and revisit others. Spend time searching online too.

We are having a little thunderstorm right now, but it was warm and sunny during the day. Rylie (dog) runs under the recliner when she hears it.

There must have been a car show somewhere because we saw three old vehicles yesterday while out riding around. The first was an old car maybe a '29 (Hubby's guestimate, I have no idea), then and old Chevy truck, and lastly a '53 Ford F100, I know this because the licence plate said so...'Im a 53'. 

Have a great week,
Sheila

Happy Mother's Day!!

Hope everyone had a great day!!
