We got together with Terry today for his birthday. He chose to go to Molly Woo's restaurant in Columbus. Bobby, Benita, Robert and Benita's two sons, Jason and Josh also joined us. Happy 28th birthday, Terry!!!!

Happy Saturday
Hello,
I hope everyone is having a nice Saturday. Bob is still sleeping and I've been watching some home improvement shows I had taped and also my soaps. I used to watch 4 different soap Operas but years ago I decided that was way too many so I quit watching all of them but one. For some reason I can't give this one up. I've been watching it since 1979 and I just love it. Right now it's going through a slump which most soaps go through on occasion but it's still really good. I will probably continue watching it until it's cancelled which I really don't see that happening.
My day started out this morning with a plumbing issue. We have a RO unit (Reverse Osmosis) which provides us with filtered drinking water. The unit is under our kitchen sink and the faucet for the drinking water is next to the sprayer on the sink. When I went into the kitchen this morning it was running and water was leaking from it under the sink. I can't figure out what the problem is but I did shut the water off to the unit and I'm waiting for Bob to get up so he can check it out for me. If he's not able to fix it then I guess we will be calling in a plumber on Monday. I guess this is just one of the things we have to go through in life.
Well, I am going to go. I'm starting to get hungry. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and I will post again soon. Take care.

Glad to be back home
Hi everyone,
It's so good to be back home. I really enjoyed my trip to TN and it was good to see Dad, Joy, Charlie, Robbie, Brandy, Ariel and Ben. Dad, Charlie and Robbie spent a couple days working on dad's disappearing fountain, which is going to look great once it's completed. Thankfully, they had great weather to work in. Joy, Brandy and I were able to visit with each other and work on some things in the house. On Saturday. we all went to Johnny & Chris' for dinner. Maria, Mike and Virginia were also there, so it was great to be able to see everyone. Also, thanks Chris for a great lunch.
After we left Johnny's we went to the cementary for a few minutes. We put a beautiful bouquet of flowers on moms grave. Thanks, Brandy for arranging the bouquet. We all know how much mom loved roses so the arrangement was red roses and white carnations. Since Valentines Day is this month it also seemed fitting to have the flowers to be red and white.
From the cemetary we headed to the airport so I could catch my flight back to Columbus. I am just thrilled that Skybus chose Columbus as their main hub and that they added Chattanooga as one of their stops. It's great that I can fly to dad's in 1 hour 10 minutes compared to 8 hours if I drive. The fares are also very low which is a great bonus.
I hope everyone is doing good. For those who are waiting for me to reply to their emails I will do that as soon as I can. I am trying to get caught up on everything. Take care and I will post again soon.

It's snowing.......
Hello,
We woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow and the weather man says we could get up to 6 more inches today. Didn't Buckeye Chuck say spring was on the way??? I do love the snow but it's just bad timing. I am flying to my dads tomorrow and I need there to be good weather for our flight. So anyway, I bundled up this morning, went outside and shoveled our driveway so that way if we do get a lot more snow it will be easier to shovel again later on. I try to keep our driveway and porch clear so there will be less chance of someone falling and also less tracking in the house.
Like I mentioned earlier I am flying to Chattanooga tomorrow afternoon to visit with dad for a few days. That is if the weather cooperates and the flights aren't cancelled. I will be flying back home Saturday evening. Please keep me in your prayers that we have a safe flight.
I have a ton of things to do to get ready for my trip so I had better get busy. Take care and I will talk to everyone in a few days.

I hope everyone is having a good day. We woke up to a lot of ice on the roads and a dusting of snow. We have gone from 60 degrees yesterday to 30 degrees today. Please continue to keep the people in TN and AR in your prayers. I did talk to a couple friends of mine in AR yesterday and thankfully they are fine but there was a lot of people who weren't as lucky.
I went to our local mall this morning and did some window shopping. At some point I would like to change my bedroom curtains and bed coverings. I came across a couple I like but I haven't made up my mind yet. Our mall was sold about 6 months ago and it's always fun to go by and see what new changes they have made. We are supposed to be getting some new stores but they won't tell us yet what they are. It's all so exciting.....
Everyone take care and I will update again soon.
THIS WILL MAKE YOU STOP AND THINK!!!
CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone,we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think ,where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

Happy, Happy Monday
Hello,
I hope everyone is doing well today. To all you Superbowl fans I hope you were cheering for the NY Giants. What a great game it was!!! Bob and I were glued to our seats clear up to the end. Terry, I know you are happy with the outcome. Don't you wish now you would have placed a bet???? Just kidding.... There were a few good commercials also. If you missed any of the commericals you can go to www.myspace.com/superbowlads and catch any you missed.
My blood work results came back and all is very good. I don't eat the correct foods like I should to control my cholesterol so I'm lucky that the medication I am on keeps my numbers on track. My hair feels so much better since I got it cut last week. Thanks, Joann!! It definitely looks healthier with the dead ends cut off.
We have a town celebrity that makes an appearance once a year and Saturday morning was his moment. Drum roll please..dadadada....
BUCKEYE CHUCK!!!!! He is the official groundhog for the state of Ohio. People come from near and far to see what Buckeye Chuck has to say. We have a local TV station that sets up a stage and the owner of Buckeye Chuck brings him out of his burrow to predict whether or not we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter. Marion feels pretty important on that day because we draw in TV stations from Columbus and other surrounding cities. The citizens that decide to join in the fun are there before sunrise and once Chuck makes his prediction then they serve coffee, tea and Spam sandwiches. Yes, I did say SPAM sandwiches!!!! Not sure of the reason for that but I guess it's been a tradition for years. I'm not a Spam lover so I think I would have to pass on that part. But anyway, Chuck predicted we are going to have a early spring but his competition Penxsutawny Phil said we are going to have 6-weeks of bad weather. So I guess we will have to see who ends up being correct.
Bob and I went to a Ducks Unlimited dinner Saturday evening. There are a lot of duck hunters out there. The place was packed. The meal was very good and they had a silent and live auction. You could also buy tickets for different raffled items. We didn't bid on any of the auctioned items but we did buy a few raffle tickets. Bob won a shirt and hat. We got a set of Ducks Unlimited coffee cups and on each table was a centerpiece with a duck decoy on it and I won that. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday evening.
Well, that's about all the happenings up here. I hope everyone has a nice week. Take care.
