To the hills of Tennessee

I always feel more comfortable when I’m surrounded by mountains.

Jordan

This is Jordan. He belongs to Charlsie and Glen. He is a punk, but a very lovable punk.

There are a couple things about this photo… notice the scowl… the upturned hands… the fresh dirt floating in the kiddie pool… and the shark tattoo on his chubby belly…

Y’all are smart folks. I’m sure you can piece together the scene, but just in case I’ll tell you anyway. We were filling up the kiddie pool for Abbie (my other niece by my younger brother John & his girlfriend Michelle) when Jordan comes rushing over to play with the hose. Of course we had to almost hogtie him to keep him from getting it and spraying everyone. As soon as the water was turned off, he tried to get in the pool. He was told about 4 time not to get in the pool until his feet were cleaned off, but as soon as everyone’s head was turned the punk steps right in dirty feet and all. He just couldn’t wait. He looked so upset about being scolded that I couldn’t help but take a photo of him. After this he jumped out of the kiddie pool leaving his dirt behind and wanted back in the big pool.

Oh, and the shark tattoo… I just think it’s funny as hell that he put the shark tattoo on his belly instead of his arm… =)

We had a wonderful time on vacation. We had to come back a little early because of some school issues, but I won’t go into that here. I’m still really angry! Oh well… we’re back and I will be sharing photos as soon as I get them downloaded and converted.

Busy week with some good news

maggie — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:41:25 +0000

Wow this week has been so busy… Helped a friend paint her apartment, went shopping for baby shower gifts, working on a baby brag book for the baby shower, getting the baby shower games together, returned clothes to Kohl’s, went shopping at Target, baking a baby shower cake today, finishing the baby brag book, working on our school papers for this weekend (we have 4 that have to be turned in). WOW that’s it? It sure did seem like a lot more when I was thinking about it in my head….

And the good new is I”m going to TN to visit in August from 8th-16th. I”m so excited to see all my friends and family. Darryl doesn’t get to go because he doesn’t have the vacation time yet. Hopefully he can live without me for 8 days. lol I should have lots of photos when I get back so watch out for the blog post saturated with pics…

Well almost time for me to hit the road to work so catch you later.

An Homage

From the previous posts, ya’ll know that Margaret and I were on a short vacation lat week. If it weren’t for our loving brother Allen to show us around Philly, there’s no telling what we might have missed. I’m sure if we all had more time allotted to us, we would’ve seen more.

Below you’ll find a picture of Allen, our gracious host. I tell ya, he was more than patient with Margaret and her picture taking. He looked at it as a break from walking, while I was ready to trudge on ahead. That’s a fault of mine. If it weren’t for Margaret taking her picture’s I would’ve missed a lot around me. It’s funny when it comes to nature I like to stop and look, but when it comes to architecture or city-scapes I just keep a going. Such is the hustle and bustle of life. Anyway, enough about me.

Here’s a toast to Allen, to the beers and stories we shared on that awesome day in Philly. We love you man!

Walking around Philly & Wildwood

maggie — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 00:42:56 +0000

Below are photos of the houses, gardens, historical buildings, and whatever else I saw during the horse and buggy tour through Philly.

Enjoy…

In Wildwood I found Elvis and got one picture of the ocean (out of 500) that I liked.

Philly/Wildwood Vacation

maggie — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 19:40:08 +0000

Darryl and I had a wonderful vacation. We went to Philly and then to the Jersey shore to a small beach town name Wildwood.

Instead of trying to remember all the things we did and all the happenings we decided to buy post cards and write down small little details for that day. I have scanned and inserted the post cards below in the order or events. Hopefully you can read my hand writing and will over look any misspelled words. )

We had a layover in Detroit on 8/8/07

Arrived in Philly on 8/8/07 @ 11:57pm – on 8/9/07 we did the tourist thing (please disregard the ink smudges)

We arrived in Wildwood at 12pm on 8/10/07

We spent the day at the beach on 8/11/07

We left Wildwood on 8/12/07 and drove back to Philly to catch our plane home.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! I will post photos soon!

Today marks the starts of my two day vacation… (I’m not allowed an entire week all at once due to the transition that we are currently going through). I’m just glad to be away from work and my desk!!

Glen & Matt (the nephews) are down from Ohio so I’ll be keeping them tomrrow along with Arial & Allison (the nieces). Not sure what we will be doing, but I know we’ll have a fun filled day!

The home of this amazing Mother Mary mural; located in Marvin, South Dakota is Blue Cloud Abby. It has beautiful stained glass windows & American Indian carvings down the steeple. It is a most sensational building.
