67?????????????
OH MY GOSH!!! We got wiiFit and my wiiFit age is 67!!!!!!! I can't believe it. It was super hilarious last night as all three of us created our profile, character, and tried out the "training". I'm "normal" in all areas but BALANCE!!!!!!!!!!! and, I couldn't figure out the crazy thing. I looked more like a contortionist... Jerry & Collin were dying laughing. In fact, the crazy wii thing asked me "Do you have trouble walking...are you tripping alot?" Tripping----yes....but not my feet. TOO FUNNY. 67...........that's pitiful.

Time is F-l-Y-I-n-G
I know they don't look sad...but they were. This is a group of Collin's friends that have looked forward for MONTHS to go to the Fall Out Boy concert in Houston---and, the rains came down and floods came up ......and the concert was cancelled. - April 18----so, Pei Wei and bowling was "Plan B" and they had a good time.
Nipper's favorite spot...laying next to Jerry in his recliner.
Abby's bridal shower in Dayton. A good family picture of me, Abby, Penny and Mom. Wish Jennifer coud have been there!
Oooohhh....blurry. sorry--would have been a good picture of Abby opening gifts.
Galveston---April 24. My annual trip to Moody Mansion with my Interior Design classes and a short visit to The Strand. This picture was taken on the Strand... All I can say is ..... OH MY!Friday, April 17, 2009

Gotta love Maya Angelou
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. "
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. "
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. "
"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.' "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. "
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.. "
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. "
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

Happy _?___ Birthday to Me! Guess!
My new collection of FIESTA ware! I'm so excited! I LOVE IT! And, Collin always remembers to give Mom chocolate! TURTLES!
Jerry selected "OREO CAKE" this year! YUM YUM
Optimism & Faith
I love my husband for 1,000,000 reasons. But, one of the biggest reasons is his optimism and faith. It is D-Day at our house....the day that Jerry found out that he is being laid off....after 23 years! We knew that this day was coming. Events leading up to this.....Hurricane IKE, the companies Chp. 11 bankruptcy, shut downs, lay-offs & other "issues". He will continue to be paid with a severance package beginning in June. Jerry and I have such faith that "silver linings" always come in our clouds. We know good things are to come. It's weird...... Different...........another chapter of our lives........... He was sitting on our front patio with his pal "Nipper" this a.m. as I left for work...drinking his coffee. Please keep us in your prayers. Crawfish and Pistoulettes
YUM YUM YUM - Saturday we went to Steamboat Bills in Lake Charles and got our fill of crawfish and pistoulettes. YUM YUM If you have never had a pistoulette...you haven't lived! It's a crusty, buttery roll slap-filled with either crawfish etoufee or shrimp etoufee....served pipin' hot! It will make you want to "slap your momma"! Krista is always wanting crawfish when she comes home as there's none to be had in San Marcos....what???? no mud bugs?????
Fence Building
Jerry is so talented and industrious. He build a new section of chain link fence on Friday on the side section of our back yard. I have been wanting a place to "kennel" the dogs when we have friends over. WE love our dogs, but they can drive people nuts with their continual "lovin" when we have company over. YEA JERRY! Collin helped dig holes :)
Chocolate Bunnies & Rain
Wow--the rain came down and the floods came up! Collin, Krista & Brad enjoyed their chocolates that the EASTER BUNNY left :) We watched Easter services on TV (feeling guilty) as bad weather was coming through our area --southeast Texas was getting pounded! And, because we had family driving in for Easter lunch....we wanted to be home when everyone got to the house in case we were in the middle of a monsoon.
Food, fellowship and family was great----always a good time! I'm so thankful that we had a big group of family together to celebration Christ's resurrection.

Memories!!
Matt Kenseth #17..... our favorite driver. Didn't win, but still a good day at the race!
Row 9!
"nough said.
Father and son walking into the races....an annual tradition! I asked Collin on the way home last night .....
"Will you still come to the races with Dad and I when you are older?"
"Of course, Mom"
"Well, what if you marry a prissy little thing?"
"I'll leave her butt at home." HA HA
NASCAR 2009
Okay---so we made way too many breakfast burritos and we decided that we would give them away. :) Actually, we needed to do an act of kindness since we were not at church on Sunday!!!
Cookin' breakfast burritos! Freezing our booties off....windy, windy and 42 degrees! I had on 3 shirts and two hoodies!
Sun coming up at Texas Motor Speedway! Sprint Cup 500!
We were at Texas Motor Speedway at 6 a.m.! Sunday. Collin slept until sunrise........
Saturday evening in Fort Worth----Dinner with the group of friends from O-Town. Yes, Jerry, Collin and I are in the picture...very back of the table:) Great Italian food!!!

NaScAR BaBy!!!
It's hard to contain the excitement! Hours until NASCAR and being there in person....row 9....to root on Matt Kenseth #17. The boys are feeling great after their bout with the flu, the rain has come and gone and we've got our tailgating gear out and ready to be loaded into the Tahoe. There's a group of 13 of us going to Texas Motor Speedway from Orange that tailgate for breakfast and then we tailgate after the races with some friends that we met when Jerry worked in Lake Charles...hamburgers and zummo sausages...YUM YUM. I'll try my very best to post some pics next week.
