Catching up

It's been way too long since I posted, but life has a way of keeping us busy can't believe it's been since last Sept. , went to Fl. for Biketoberfest, got through Christmas and went back to Fl. for six weeks for Bike Week, all were successful and lots of work.
Now back to crafting, spring is here, Easter is over, and so much yard work to be done. Got 40 bags of mulch yesterday, already did rocks around back to keep Ranjr from eating mulch. Jill's garden is beginning to grow and it's time to transplant some things.
I am making signs for the shop and also doing quite a bit of Americana.
Anthony has his license and a job at the Buffet. Rob has a permit and is practicing.
Randy's mom broke her femur last fall and is home doing good, my mother passed away in Dec. just before Christmas and my poor Carole has been diagnosed with a mild form of lymphoma.
Jan is busy working at her medical transcriptionist job home and at the office and boys doing well.
We had a lovely Easter and Mom was able to be here, she seemed to enjoy herself.
I am posting a picture of my lovely perfect coconut cream pie that I made for Easter along with much too much more food.

September 5 Ramblings

Well, last night I attended my first football game. I went to watch Anthony play. It was a beautiful night, no rain, and I got to watch him execute a "pulling block", guess he did a great job. But what do I know. Only what I am told, cause I know nothing about football.

This has been a beautiful week here, got some snowmen stuffed and tea dyed. Tomorrow there is a birthday party at the air base for Uncle George and I am having a picnic here later.

Kids are back in school and it's only three wks. till we leave for Fl. for a month. Time will go quickly when we come home and I am trying to get things done for Christmas before we leave. I have quite a bit left from last year but am working on new things.

August 12, 2009

Well, now where have I been? Let me tell you, Bike Week is over, summer is almost over, all outside work has been done, well almost all I wanted to do, class reunion is finished and was a huge success. Now time to think about fall, putting things away and getting ready for Biketoberfest which is a walk in the park compared to Bike Week. Need to paint for the Shop's open house and get it delivered by next week. Got a fridge for the garage full of pop and moved my painting area around, lots more room it seems. Made about 150 tennis ball size no bake cookies for the football team scrimmage on Friday. Enjoyed the summer and got to read quite a bit on my porch. Jill's garden is just beautiful this year, cept the dang Japanese beetle attack in July, hate those things.

Well it's New Years Eve and I'm pretty much ready for tomorrow. We spent the evening at Jan's w/ Jill Cuck, Brady, Mia, Marley, Julie, Bob and Anthony came in.
We had a nice time. Tomorrow dinner is at 1 and Mom, Rick and Boys, Jan and Dusty and Boys and maybe the Taylors.


Found a bunch more addresses for classmates, and started a My Space for the reunion also.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excited, signed up for Facebook last night and have found three more new classmates addresses that I have not been able to contact for years.

It was worth taking the few minutes to do that. Classmates.com is also a great tool.

Today I need to make sauce for New Years Day lasagna dinner and we are going to Julie's tonight.

Went to look at Cafaro's lights last night, what a display and what a huge cost that must be.

Class Reunion

I have posted a picture of my last Class Reunion in 2004. It is now time to plan the next one. It will be Aug. 7 of 2009. I am in the process of getting reservation letters ready to mail. Will mail them sometime in Jan.

It gets easier every time to do this, with all the gadgets on the computer, I now have addresses on disk and all info, just pop in the disk and print out what I need.

Signed up for a year of Classmates. com, have found some people I couldn't find before. Feel it's worth the 20 bucks.

Christmas 2008

Another Christmas has come and gone, all that work, baking, shopping, wrapping, cleaning, decorating, cooking, over in a matter of a couple hours.
Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time, Christmas Eve was Mom's birthday and even Rick and the boys came. Ranjr did great with all the people. Lots of food and fun.
Kids all enjoyed Christmas, made just enough food, not too much, killer coconut cream pies, they all seemed to like their gifts, a few would be returned but that's ok.
Today I just sat, took a couple naps and worked on my computer for a while.
Need to get a letter ready for class reunion this year, 45 years, who'd a thunk it.
Also need to get things ready for Bike Week in Fl., will probably leave for there early Feb.
