Dead In the Water

My blog has been kind of dead in the water for several reasons lately. First, I don't have lots of time and second, I don't have much to say. Danny is out of town almost all the time. He's in Johannesburg, South Africa right now on a project with work. He'll be coming home on Easter Sunday morning. After that we really don't know where he'll be or what he'll be doing. Pray that his company still needs him when this job is finished. I've been traveling more than normal since my company has lost quite a few people. The ones of us that are left kind of have to pick up the slack. It doesn't look like we'll be hiring any time soon. On a brighter note, everyone is hanging in there and I'm counting the days until I can have a vacation. Don't know when, or where but I DO know I WILL have a vacation, even if I stay home!!!! I'll update again when I actually have something to say!

Happy Birthday Isabelle

My mom's aunt Isabelle turned 99 on Sunday, March 8. What an amazing thing that is. She was born on March 8, 1910 in Jonesville, Georgia (near Bowdon, Ga.). Her parents were Robert and Eula Adams and she had 6 brothers and sisters. Lewis, Zelma, Lucille, Alma, Ruby and Boyd. She married Joe Lovvorn and had 2 children, one boy Bobby and one girl Shirbie. She worked at Lawler Hosiery Mill as a looper. (something to do with the toes of socks). Her birthday party was held on Saturday and about 100 people attended. (99% were family although all the family was not there.) It was so much fun to see family members that I haven't seen in 15-20 years.
What a blessing Isabelle is to our family! Can't wait til next year when we can celebrate her 100th!!
This is a picture of my mom, her sister Jeanette and Isabelle at the party.

Getting ready to cut the cake!

Happy birthday to Isabelle!

A Time to Brag!!

Here I am, a mom, about to brag on one of her kids!!! I just can't help it! We went to D-now last night at FBC Douglasville to hear "Edenfield" and "Shane and Shane"! They were both wonderful but I have a hard time watching anyone else when Jonathan is drumming. He is really awesome, even if I am prejudiced! Here's hoping that one day a really big group will pick him up so he can use his talent to the fullest! The boy can drum, sing and do just about anything with sound. God has truly blessed him! I'm very proud of him and that he uses his talent for the Lord! I'm also very proud of his sister Lauren but I'll save that for another post!

BIG MISTAKE

Well, as many of you know, I've been a bit under the weather with a head cold. No bigee except it just drives me nuts!!!! I started taking a daytime/nighttime cold medicine. It worked okay except the nighttime stuff made me loopy as all get out. Anne Marie has just gotten over a sinus infection and told me that Musinex D really helped her a lot!!! (She actually borrowed the first couple of doses from me and my medicine drawer). So I took some yesterday morning and it really opened up my sinus' so last night I took a second dose (every 12 hours) before bedtime. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! I was soooooo wired that I was on Facebook at 2am. I finally dosed off around 4am and was wide awake at 7:45am. (NOT too much sleep there). Anyhow, just thought I'd warn you that if you take Musinex D, you might want to NOT take it at night. (Unless of course, you like being on your computer around 2am) I think tonight I'll just try sleeping with a stuffed up nose!!!!!

WAAAAAY Behind!

Okay, so I'm way behind and out of date (well duh!!) I've just gotten on Facebook and I think it's a really cool way to keep up with friends you don't hear from or haven't heard from in a long time. I've already had several friends "add me as their friend" that I haven't seen or heard from in eons! Cooooool!!! Anyway, just a small blurp about how I really enjoy keeping up with my friends from now and way back!!

Sad!

We received a phone call this afternoon that an old friend, Reed Bowman, had passed away. It makes you think about how short life really is. I remember when Brandon and Lauren turned two. Brandon came to Lauren's birthday party. It seems like only yesterday. We're never promised tomorrow and should live each day as if it were our last. The happy part of all of this is that Reed was saved and we all know where he is today. My heart goes out to his family and I know he'll be missed terribly!

Is it Friday Yet????

Wow! What a week. Is it Friday yet???? I've been in surgery every day this week. Tuesday we traveled to Birmingham for surgery, Sandy Springs today, Stockbridge tomorrow, Lawrenceville on Friday and then, back on the loop again next week. I'm getting old and I need to RETIRE!!! Also, to make things worse this week, I decided to move my office from the bonus room to downstairs and Danny's office from downstairs to the upstairs bonus room. What a trip! You should have seen me pushing and pulling all that furniture up and down the steps! It was quite comical. It's a wonder I can even move!!!!! The good part is the heavy stuff is done. The bad part is that as I'm moving things, I find more things to move. Oh well, in a hundred years it won't make a difference anyway. I'm off to bed so I can get up at O'dark thirty and do it all again! Heeeeee Haaaaaaaw!
