Good Friends that are Family

Carl's sister-Marian, her husband-Sherrell, daughter-Meredith, and son-Alan came through AR and stayed the night with us on their way back to AL. Here we are eating out before they hit the road. What a blessing that we have so much in common.

More good friends

When we lived in New Orleans, I met KymH. We went to church together and lived within walking distance. Kym now lives in MS and brings her kids to a camp in AR every year. For the last few years she has dropped them off and then spent the week with me. She likes to exercise and scrapbook. She joins the athletic club and works out everyday. We set her up on her own table in the den and she just has at the scrapbooking.

One year all my family was gone too and we really had a girl party.

This year we ate out several times, went to Hobby Lobby and the Scrapbook Corner, laughed, cried and talked and talked and talked. What fun!

Friday night we went out in the backyard with glow sticks. Kaitlin set her camera on a tripod and I sat in a chair and pushed the button when she told me too. We spelled out Kym's name on one of the many pictures.

Good Friends

A couple from our college and career group got married last weekend. She is from Albania(yes the country) and he is from Texarkana. His mama had the rehearsal dinner all planned and then life happened and it all fell apart. His mama called me and asked if I knew who could cater a meal. I asked her a few questions and then said that maybe we could do it for her. Clare did the lasagna, KimT the banana pudding, Jan the bread, Sandy the flowers, KimH the salad and the rest plus a few more served. We had a laughing good time too

I am blessed with wonderful friends

I am thankful

I enjoyed this take on storms. Carolyn McCulley is reading a book I now have on my booklist. What do you think?

All in how you see it.

Speaking of pictures I loved what Andree Seu said today. How are your Pixels?

Do you like to look at pictures? I sure do

When Kaitlin takes wedding pictures, it takes about a month to get the cd of pictures to the client. If she takes any other pictures , it takes her about a week. She has begun a blog to put up some of those pictures in the first 24 hours after the event, so you can get a taste.

Kaitlin for the most part has a camera in her hand. She views life through that lens. She has started another blog of the pictures she takes of just life. I hope she updates it often. I love her pictures. Here it is. Enjoy

Thanks for telling me!!!

Kaitlin and Marisa love this product. I asked the girls if I could try it and they said " YES, you will loved it"

so I thought I'd try it. I sat on the sofa and put my legs up on the coffee table and put lotion on all the dry places on my legs which turned out to be mostly on the front of both legs. I had a little lotion left on my hand so I rubbed it on my right arm. I was unaware of the transformation that was to take place. Every place that I put said lotion has changed color, that color being in some places dirt color and in others a somewhat tan-ish color. I was stunned. When I asked Kaitlin she said " No Mother, it is in your head that your skin has changed colors" when I showed her the fronts of my legs and my one arm, she changed her story. She said " I usually put it on and then go to the pool" when I asked Marisa, she said that she never uses just this product, she always uses it with other lotion. Well, now is a good time for them to tell me this!!!!!!!!!

I tried to take a picture of my legs or rather the fronts of them but the picture doesn't do it justice. You know how a Mullet haircut is business in the front and party in the back. Well, my skin color is summer in the front and winter in the back. I am trying to act nonchalant about it. Marisa has my toes painted this glow-in-the-dark orange now. It makes people stop and comment. I am wondering if it stands out more now that my feet are sooooo white compared to my tan leg fronts. I just smile and nob when folks talk about them.

I wonder when I'll be all the same color. I'll let you know.
