IT"S LUNCH TIME

I have tried not to eat out this week, I have been going to Dana's house and having lunch and watching a little T.V. BUT today is the day.

My Friend Karen!

This is Karen Weaver, she and I went to school together. I have posted a few previous pic's of her. She sent me this one a few weeks ago. I dont think I ever posted it. I have been talking to her on my new CHAT box, here on the blog. She was the first to try it out with me. It works pretty good. You all should give it a try. you will not know if anyone else is on at the same time, if you dont put you name in, and hit the change button.

How is everyone's day going so far. Mine is going good , it is not to busy, but busy enough.

Last night Steve and I watched the movie The Rock , with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, it is one of my favorite movies. Tonight we are planning on watching the new Superman Movie. We watch a movie nearly every night. We love having the projector and the sound system. I need to be doing laundry and cleaning the house.

Relaxing

After eating Thanksgiving dinner at my moms, we all sit in the livingroom relaxing. Dad of course snoozed a little. Dana tried, but Ashley kept her busy.

After we rested for a bit, we headed to the Lafe Park, and we set up Dad's Croquet set, we had lots of fun. mom and dad used to play Croquet all the time when they first married. The only thing is that DANA got first place, and I was last. Boy I hate that! HA!

Snap shots from Dana's Show

1st Picture is of Ashley and her friend Charlie, waiting for the concession stand to open. 2nd pic, is my dad and his Aunt Maxine. 3rd, is a group shot as people were leaving after the show.




Most of my pictures that I took on stage were not very good, they were to dark. There just isnt enough lighting for my camera. But I did take a few pic's before and after the show , they were much better.

Dana's Show

Well Dana's show was a It was lots of fun. Shannon Freeman did a great job, he always sings great, and of course is lots of fun to watch. Dana is looking forward todoing another show sometime after the first of the year.
Thanks to all of you who came out and supported her.

Ashley & Kirtis

This picture was taken of Ashley at home, before going to the dance.

The pic of Kirtis was taken about a week ago, he was getting ready to go somewhere.

Well the Dance is over. Ashley described it as the BEST NIGHT OF HER LIFE! She had a great time and danced most of the time. She was not ready to come home. After worring about not being able to dance very well, and what to talk about while dancing, what to wear and all that stuff, it seems that it was a great success! We picked her up at 10:00 and she talked my ear off untill 12:00, I had to make her go to bed. HA

Dana is having a show at the Collins Theater. We are hopeing for a good crowd. There will be lots of family in for the Thanksgiving Holiday, so we hope to see lots of you at the show and bring lots of family and friends with you.

Busy, Busy

Well I have been busy, as you can tell. I haven't been posting much latley. Ashley and I have been trying to get ready for the school Fall Ball Dance. Boy! what an experience. HA! the dance is tomorrw night, and we still do not have a shirt picked out yet. I am making a final attempt to find one at Helen Marie's today. If that doenst work out, then she will just have to settle for somthing that she already has. Ashley is getting excited about the dance, but I am not sure that her dad is.

Steve has been busy , busy hunting. He finally got a 11 point the other day, and a Doe. He actually got them on the same day, but with different guns. What time he isnt on a off hunting trip somewhere, he has been up at the cabin hunting. I think he has been gone more than usuall this year. I am ready for him to stay home for awhile.

Yesterday we put our little calf up, so we could wean her from her mom, since she will be having another calf in February. We had to do some work on a pen, so that we could keep her in and the goats out. The goats seem to really like to eat the cow feed. Of course they would eat all the time if you let them. They always act like they are starving. We had put a feeder up on the wall of the calf pen, and after we went around the barn to do some other work, we heard a noise, and by the time we got back around a goat had gotten under the fence and had already torn the feeder off the wall trying to get the calf feed. They are sure a pain in the you know what some time.

Got to go now, have some work to do here at work.

Glad you all are still checking in.
I love blogging with all of you.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THAT I WOULD LOVE FOR SOME OF YOU TO EMAIL ME PICTURES THAT I CAN ADD TO MY BLOG. I KNOW THAT SOME OF YOU OWN CAMERAS. SO COME ON AND SEND ME SOME.

BYE FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carol , Nadine, and Janet. (my mom Nadine is their Aunt)

My Mom and Dad

Nadine and Jimmie Green.

This was taken on our farm , and the black truck in the background is the truck that I learned how to drive with. It was a stick shift, and dad used to let me drive out in the field, while he put hay out to the cows. HA! I DONT know how many time i almost knocked him out of the back of the truck , untill I got that it figured out.

Take a Look at these pictures

Teresa Gist (Brasher) and her sons Jeremy and Clint.


Courtney Lange and Heather Ryan They are all grown up now .

Brendon McLeskey

I was talking with Steve's cousin Scott today on messenger, and he said that hi nephew Brendon got hurt in a hockey game last night and had to be taken to the hospital. I called Ed and Rochelle today, (Brendon is their son) and their other son Darin answered the phone, after we settled our confusion about me calling the wrong number, since I thought he said his name was Aaron, (boy that Michigan accent) I got to speak to Brendon himself. He said he had a really bad bruised knee, but that he was ok. He was going to practice this evening, and was doing fine, would just have to be off for about a week from games. I saw Brendon play Hockey when we were up there, he is really good, and we enjoyed going to the games. It was really exciting!

HANG IN THERE BRENDON......................HOPE YOUR KNEE HEALS SOON!

Cool MySpace Comments

I wanted to send a hug out to Scott, Kim, Daniel, and Nicholas McLeskey. They had to put their Dog Tessala down because she was suffering from cancer. I know that they are all sad, they had her for a very long time. Scott is Steve's cousin, that lives in Michigan. We stayed with them part of the time when we went up for our vist to Michigan in January, Tessala was a very cute little dog, and very protective of her family.

HA!

GOOD MORNING!

I am back! We had a relly nice time on our tirp, it was a little cool, but that didnt stop us from having a good time. The resort was really nice, we had a very nice view of the river, which ran right behind the cabin. We had breakfast at the Gaston Rosort restaurant on Saturday morning, and then headed off to a little site seeing, we went up to the Top of the Ozark Tower., which was great. It was so pretty, and very cold. You could see for miles and miles. We went up in a glass elavator, and then walked another 3 or 4 flight of staris to get to the top.

After our site seeing, we went on to Mountain Home, where we did some shopping. We sent through alot of Antique stores, and we were amazed at how many antiques there were that were things that we used to have as kids. HA! I dont even want to think about what that means. Before returning back to the Resort we took in a movie around 4:00 ( THE GAURDIAN) It was a very good movie. Then we went to Chili's to have dinner.

Arriving back at the cabin, we watched some T.V. and snacked around on all the junk food that we brought with us. We all intended to get up some what earlier than the day before so we could lazy around and stuff before 11:00 check out.........but.....2 of us didnt make it up untill 9:00. So we hurried around and got our showers taken, and then we did a small nature trail to take a look at some peacocks, guines, and phesants that were on the grounds. We made a pretty quick trip out of that, since it was starting to rain a little.

Last before leaving, we had a pretty long visit at the Gaston Gift Shop. We all picked up a few Gaston Suoviner's for our familys back home. I bought Steve a real nice pair of Camo Slipper, for the cabin, and the kids got a Souviner cup.

On the way back home we ate dinner at Mountain Home , and then stoped at Hardy and did some more shopping.

BIG THANKS TO SANDRA, FOR TAKING US ALONG WITH HER, AND SHARING HER GIFT CERTIFIC TO GASTONS WITH US.

Make sure you check out the Gaston Picture Album to the right for more pictures of our trip.

IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Well Friday is almost here, and I am sure ready for it. I am ready to go on my little trip with my (GIRLFRIENDS). I am sure we will have lots of fun. Just think no GOATS , dogs, hamster, fish, turtles or cows to feed, for 2 full days. HA! No laundry, no dishes, no dusting, and no cleaning!

WELL UNTILL I GET BACK.....then it will be my stuff and theirs. No trips to the store to get milk and bread.....or chips and sodas. No jumping up to get Ice Cream for Steve, no getting food (every 5 min for Ashely) JUST 2 fulls days of doing what I want to do. Not that I dont enjoy taking care of my family.......but greatful for a break.

Ashley will be staying with my mom and dad, since Steve is going to be at the cabin deer hunting all weekend. I think Kirtis plans on staying around, since he will be able to play his sound system as loud as it will go. He likes to change settings and stuff on the theather system when we are gone, that way there is not a big fuss about how loud it is.

Tonight I am going to take Ashely to the Homecoming . Then when I get home I will have to do my packing, since I have to work tomorrow, and we are leaving around 4:30 on Friday, that will be the only time that I have to pack. I hate packing, I am not a good packer, I always take way to many clothes..........................DONT I MICHIGAN FAMILY!!!! I lthnk I could have stayed in Michigan for a month instead of 8 days.

I am not sure I will be posting anything untill I get back on Sunday, so I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I will see ya on Monday...........................OF COURSE WITH LOTS OF NEW PICTURES TO POST TO MY BLOG!!

Trip to Gaston's Resort

A friend of mine SANDRA STEPHENS was chosen teacher of the year. Part of her prize package was a Vacation to Gaston's Resort up by Mountain Home. Sandra thought it would be a fun trip for us girls to take , so we are headed out to the Resort this Friday around 5:00 p.m. There are 4 of us going, and our room has 4 full beds in it. Of course we are not going to tackle going Trout Fishing, we will go to Mt. Home and SHOP!!!!!!!!!! I hear that they have some really good food at the Resort also.

BETH!!! We sure wish you were going with us. We will miss you.
