More Than A Song

Over the weekend Karen from Over the Backyard Fence bestowed this little blog award on me, she’s so sweet! And she’s one of my favorite people to read so I could give this right back to her. I’m supposed to pass it on to 7 people I think it said…..I’m not sure who all has […]

Why is it that once you start using something and like it, they go and change it on you? It doesn’t have to be just products either. Apparently according to sis Stacy, I used old facebook too long because I do NOT like the new facebook. I must not be the only one because I […]

A few years ago I was lucky enough to get a new washer and dryer but not just any kind, the fancy front loading high efficiency kind! Overall I’ve been pretty pleased with it….it holds a lot, seems to wash way better than my old machine and uses less water I believe. Recently though the […]

It’s only been in the last few years that I’ve learned to like coffee, although it’s usually what I put in the coffee that I truly like more! However the coffee doesn’t always love me back because the caffeine, it’s just something I do so much better without. Several family members give me a hard […]

…a thousand words. I hope so because I’m not coming up with much else; here’s a few pictures from our labor day fun! We took the day off and drove to sis Stacy’s house where her hubby Tim grilled and they fed us too much food. I’ll put the shots on the extended page, click […]

The last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that Susanne has done a Friday post, all about favorite things. Sounded like fun and I need to focus on something positive right now! Just list 5 favorite things from your week…….I’m jumping in and here are mine: 1. Onstar and the gps system in my car! Just […]

There is a series of books written by Anne George called the Southern Sisters…..maybe 8 different books about 2 sixty something year old sisters that live in Birmingham and just happen upon murders from time to time! They are light and funny and very southern for the most part. I’ve been lucky enough to borrow […]

I’ve been spending way too much time watching the Olympics but it’s been such fun. Such amazing athletes! Seeing the men’s swim team beat the French in the relay, one of the best things so far! And I don’t care what the Chinese say, there’s no way some of those gymnasts are 16 years old….they […]

Oh we are big fans of the Olympics around here! Been looking forward to 08/08/08 for a while now and are getting the dvr ready to go. I love most everything about it but really get into the stories and profiles they do of the athletes. Then I get interested in seeing how they do […]

“gotta get me home to my baby’s side” My car has a camera on the back and when you’re in reverse you can see what’s on the ground back behind your car, like a bike, wagon or garbage can but I haven’t had any of those things happen yet! I use my mirrors mostly but […]

Especially in a small town! There is no recycling here at all, nothing curbside and no where to take papers or bottles and such. It’s hard to find ways to do things that might help out. We’ll never be featured for our innovative programs! When my w*lmart store had some reusable shopping bags for sale […]

“we all scream for ice cream” I have a bad habit; I love to eat ice cream in the summer time! I would have it for supper at night, except there are people in this house that don’t think it’s a meal. Usually I buy the same flavor almost the whole summer and it almost […]

I have this slow cooker that I use quite frequently, sometimes 2-3 times a week. It’s getting quite old but works just fine; something my mom gave me many years ago. It’s not exactly a crockpot but I have certain things I really prefer to cook in it. It looks like this: I used it […]

“Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da ” I’m home, extremely tired, behind on blogs and will try to catch up soon! The car was packed with not an inch of extra room, the trip was very long too. We only brought home 2 of Kathryn’s 5 boxes of […]

It’s been really hot in the south lately, and what better way to cool off than in the pool! Not me of course but the kiddies. My daughter called and told me recently that she bought one for the backyard because it was too hard for one person to take a toddler and a nine […]
