Were Home!!!!!!

HI,
Happy Memorial Day!!! I hope everyone is having a nice day. Bob and I had a great time this weekend visiting with dad and relaxing at the lake. I love going out on the porch and sitting on one of the swings and looking out at the lake. The lake was really busy this weekend with pleasure craft traffic and people swimming and water skiing. We were lucky that we also had nice weather while we were there.

I'm so glad the drive home is over with. It takes us a good 8 hours to make the trip. But, with today being a holiday the traffic was light especially in the 3 major cities we have to drive through.

I am going to go and relax for a while. Take care and have a good day. Teresa

Upcoming Holiday Weekend......

Hi to everyone,

The Memorial Day weekend is almost here. The grills will be fired up, lawn furniture will be taken out of storage and set up, hamburgers, hot dogs and all the great BBQ items will be bought, potato salad, deviled eggs and baked beans will be made and families will get together to celebrate and remember our troops who have fought so hard to give us the great life that we have in the United States. As you are enjoying your time with family this weekend be sure to remember the ones who are responsible for giving us our freedom.

Bob and I hope to be on the road by 1:00pm tomorrow. That should put us at dad's around 9:00pm. We plan on coming home on Monday. I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Take care.

Today is my birthday!!!!!

Hello,
I turned 47 years old today. WOW!!! It's so hard for me to believe that I am so close to the 50 mark. I'm just glad I don't feel like I'm 47 years old. That would really be depressing....

It has been a very nice day for me. I went to Walmart to pick up a few items then I went to our local nursery and bought a ton of flowers. I spent most of the day putting the flowers in pots that I have put on the front porch and my back deck. Usually I have purple flowers on my front porch and red on the back deck but this year I also added pink, white and red/white mixture. The color should be really pretty throughout the summer.

Thanks to everyone who has called me, sent me cards and comments on myspace for my birthday. Have a nice week. Teresa

It's Monday again.......

HI,
To all mom's, I hope you had a nice Mother's Day. Mine was really good. Terry came up and we went out to dinner then we visited at the house for a while then Terry and I went downtown and he helped me look for a piece of furniture for our spare bedroom. The weather wasn't the best but I guess you can't have everything.

I just got word that Charley made it fine through surgery and everything went well. He is in some pain but thankfully all is good.

Bob left this afternoon for a business trip to Crawfordsville, Indiana. He will be gone until Friday. I am hoping if all works out as planned to have the spare bedroom done by the time Bob gets back.

Have a nice week. Take care. Teresa

Were over the hump....

Hump day has passed and it's down hill the rest of the way to the weekend....I hope everyone is having a nice week so far. Mine's been pretty busy. I finally got the spare bedroom cleaned out now I am trying to decide on what is going back in the room and how I want to arrange it. For some reason I am having a hard time making up my mind.

I spent yesterday morning making chocolate covered pretzels. YUM!!!
Myself and another woman at church make goodie bags that we pass out to people who purchase the Angel Food boxes that our church passes out the last Saturday of each month. We try to come up with different ideas each month so this month we elected to make the pretzels. They are so easy to make but very time consuming. Of course you can't make them without eating a couple. They are so good!!!

I need to run some errands today then I plan on cleaning the basement. I've decided instead of grilling out on Mother's Day I want to go out to eat. Now I need to decide where I want to go. Decisions, Decisions.... It's nice to live in a city that has some restaurant choices. I do think we are going to wait until 2 or 3 in the afternoon before we go to eat. Maybe it will be easier to get a table.

Have a good day. Take care. Teresa

It's May already!!.......

Is this year going by fast or what? I remember when I was growing up hearing people say, "as you get older, time goes by faster." I didn't believe the statement at the time but I do now.

Any good plans this weekend? We have to go pick up a suit Bob bought that is being altered then we have a arena football game to go to on Saturday evening. That's about all we have going on.

I hope you have a nice weekend. Take care. Teresa
