40 Years Ago Today ~

Was Our Wedding Day

Our Christmas Celebrations Have Begun!

My niece Ally, grandson Bryson and my nephew Colby

Oh how I love  Christmas time!!  We had our first of several get-together's last Sunday night.  This year we went to my brother's house.  The kids had a great time opening presents and playing together!  The adults ate and talked and ate again and again!

Here in the South

Our Wonderful Thanksgiving Trip To NJ

Cousin Lynn, Aunt Nora, Lori (Lynn's daughter) and Katelyn (Lori's daughter) at Lori's house.
I can not describe in words what a wonderful time we had while in NJ!!!  We talked and laughed for hours. I miss being with them so much already!!

We Knew This Day Would Come

When we built our home in 1987 we knew this day would come.  The question was when.  We made it 23 years but unfortunately that day is here.  Earlier this year our trees were destroyed to move power lines. But not until they started the bridge did we fully realize the destruction.  Our peaceful country lifestyle is no more.  The interstate will soon be here and it's here forever. 

Happy 4th Birthday to My Grandson

The last 4 years have been truly wonderful with our grandson.  This year he celebrated his 4th birthday with some of his little friends.  We had an awesome time joining in on the fun!  A special thanks to Granny Mac (Maxine) for bringing Colby.

My Little Fireman

I had a wonderful time with my grandson Trick or Treating last night.  It was the first time he had gone door to door and after the first couple of houses he was a pro!!  Saying "I can go by myself"

Look What I Got In The Mail ~ I Won!!

I won again!! Well, really I won this first but it just took it longer to get here because it was sent by the publisher or someone else, not sure who.  I had orginally only won one book but because they where out of that book, I was sent two books. How lucky am I!!! 

I want to Thank Lynette Again!!!   Thank you Lynette!!   Check her out at Lynette at Crazed Mind.  She is Awesome!!!   

NC State Fair ~ 2010

We have many fond memories of the NC State Fair. One of our first dates was to the fair. Gerald took his sisters to the state fair while I was home with a brand new baby girl, Angela. He took Angela to the fair when she was 5 because I felt it just wasn't a place I should or wanted to be 9 months pregnant with Emily. We took our girls when they were small, we've gone with friends and we have gone many times just with each other. This year we took our daughter Emily and grandson Bryson. We had a wonderful time!! Can't wait to go back again next year!!!

I don't know how you all do this but it took me and my husband hours to do this with the new editor.  There has to be a faster way!!!

Angela is a ninth grade high school English teacher, is National Board Certified and working on her master degree which she will finish this spring.
