It has been a long time since I posted. Alot has happened in the past several weeks. School started back, canning season has started (albeit a little late) and a very important person!!!! J2 “Doc” turned 9 a couple of weeks ago!

While reading news tonight on the reference desk, I was tickled to see this:
Carlos Santana (1947)
Santana is a Mexican-American Grammy Award-winning guitarist known for his searing, emotional playing. He became famous in the late 1960s with his eponymous band that created a highly successful blend of salsa, rock, blues, and jazz. [...]

Take a peek at Slobo’s video he made of our Jam session. Red Pot, White Linens, and Blue Black-mashed-Berries….
What could be more patriotic to start your festivities with today?

I wanted to share some pictures of my brother’s graduation. He received his Masters in Infectous Disease Control from Emory University on Monday, May 12th, 2008. We are so very proud of him! He has worked extremely hard and is so very deserving of ALL BRAGGING – BRAG – BRAG – BRAG [...]

Our youngest turned 7 about a week ago, *sniffle*. It has been a busy couple of weeks, three birthdays, graduation and Spring, complete with head colds!
Our Lil’ Entertainer wanted a ‘flag’ themed birthday. His two favorite images in life, the Cross and the American Flag. At first he wanted a [...]

Hard to believe that our sweet little chubby baby has turned 10, but ohhhhh he’s such a wonderful little boy! Pardon Me, but I’ve got to brag on these beautiful, smart, funny future gentlemen! They make life soooo enjoyable that surely my world must have been awfully bland without them!
He wanted a Dr. [...]

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

For Valentine’s Day, I made Slobo a bean bag for his IPOD. Since he got his new video IPOD, every night he would lay in bed, Video IPOD on belly, and comment …. “*sigh* sure wish I had a bean bag for my IPOD”….. Okay, so VDay comes along and of course, had [...]

Another year upon us, and I thought I would blog a little about the past year. For starters, I see that it’s been almost a month since my last blog entry (rather feels like a confessional!). I’ll try to do better, but it has been a fun year spending time with kids and [...]

We had a really nice Thanksgiving day with our family. Slobo and I had prepared dinner for 11 people and it seems to have gone okay. I don’t think tho, I’ll be volunteering to host everyone together again tho. This was a weird year. Normally, Slobo and I go to my [...]

This site will be silent on Sept. 11th in memory of all those that lost their lives.
May God bless their loved ones and the heroes that fight to protect us and care for us.

Today our son turns 8!

Time has flown by so fast. J2 was born beet red, kicking and screaming (which he didn’t stop until he was 6 months old). He would cry until 4 in the morning. For the first 6 months, he and I slept in a rocking chair in [...]

I received a locket in the mail today that I had ordered for my mom. This was a promotional offer from picturesongold.com. Here is a picture of it.

The locket is so beautiful. In it is a picture of my sister, April Gaye. They engraved part of my mother’s poem entitled [...]

As I continue to build the kids’ school website, I’ve been hunting interactive media to enhance the lesson plans.
Here is an interesting link for things from timelines, pictures and audio books. Alot of free things under a nice fast server.

And say a prayer for our heroes who keep us that way!
To all the men and women, and all of their families -
THANK YOU!
Happy Fourth of July! Happy Independence Day!
Do you know why the flag is worn backward?

…. as a general once said, “We are moving forward as if one with the flag! [...]

I hope you are licking your catnipped de-clawed paws in satisfaction this fine night….. You don’t deserve these kids….. oops…. sorry … I digress….

These kids are cute as buttons – in fact, they have been given the temporary names of Kate – because her head bobbles, Spence – well because… you know, [...]

About a month ago, this cat got treed by our dogs in the backyard. After waiting 24 hours for her to come down, we finally had the idea to use the water hose to drip water on her (trickling). That did it, she came down out of the tree in a hurry. [...]

Our youngest turns 6 today. He loves Curious George. When asked what he wanted for his birthday over a month ago, he said “Everything Curious George!” and that is exactly what everyone gave him (with the exception of his birdhouse).
For his hats, we got some terry lined, yellow (his favorite color) tennis [...]
