In a cabin in a wood, little man by the window stood, saw a rabbit hopping by...OK, you get the idea. Click on the collage and get a glimpse of our little gettaway! It is 16 minutes from Oxford (between Oxford and New Albany) We are looking forward to football games (I know...Charles is an OLE MISS grad). We will not have to travel home on late night games.

A Happy Anniversay

What a wonderful surprise! Today, Charles and I have been married for 11 years. It is hard to imagine how fast that time has gone. God blessed me by putting Charles in my life. When I think back over the last 11 years, so many memories come flooding back. Being a second marriage for us both, there were hurdles to jump, baggage to "unpack" and get rid of, differences to recognize, but our dependence on God has bound us together.

To his children and mine...thank you for allowing us to form a family together!

The Battle of the Pool

The Instructions read "up and ready in 15 minutes!" HA! Rain is having as much fun in 2 inches of water! Take a LOOK!

BTW...because of the slight slope in the yard...it is still NOT UP! ;-)

FDA Approves Depressant Drug For The Annoyingly Cheerful

40th Year Class Reunion

The email has arrived, the plans are being made, hotel room secured (thanks to my sister-in-law, Cheryl) and my calendar has been marked. In 21 weeks Charles and I will travel to Natchez, MS to attend my 40th Year High School Reunion. I have never been so excited about an upcoming event as this.

It will also be the same week-end as the Great Mississippi Balloon Race (how wonderful for them to plan that for the same week-end! *wink*) Click on link to find out more.

The class mates have met and have a great plan for us for the week-end. I will copy Glynn Laird's email to this post as soon as I am able to access it.

Also, check out WeighDown2009 for my weight goal as I approach the October dates! Click on title to find more.

I can't wait to see former classmates. I have heard by email from Pam Smith, Glynn and Mary Lou Laird, Pam Thompson (opps, forgot married name), Debbie Eyrich Bonner, Debbie Leftwich, Janice, Terri, Robert, Darryl, Martha Jane, Carol...I am looking forward to this so much.

I realize I have allowed life to get in the way of keeping up with fellow friends and classmates. The next 40 years will go by as fast, so I want to try and do better with keeping in touch! We'll see. ;-)
