Jam Packed Long Weekend

Saturday - I went to my nephew, Joseph’s, birthday party. I took 118 pictures! And I was only there for an hour and a half! The kids were a hoot on that slip and slide! After that I went to a cook out with Leslie’s family. Good food, good people, good times

Sunday - church was awesome! Stephanie spoke and she did great! It’s just so amazing to see someone that you grew up with doing their thing for the Lord! Growing up with Stephanie, I just never imagined, we’d be where we are today.
After church, I went to a graduation party for a friend’s daughter. I had made a DVD for her daughter and for her sister’s daughter. Everyone complimented the DVD. I always like to see people’s reactions when they see them; it makes the effort worth it. I didn’t stay long there, mainly because I didn’t know a lot of people. From there I went to my aunt’s for a cookout – that was much better. It’s always fun hanging with family! Took more pictures!

Monday - I went and got my toes did with Leslie, Maggie and Debbie. Our regular place was closed so we ended up @ the Mall - all I have to say is NO mo Hollywood Nail! Then another cookout! I love cookouts! Once again – good food, good people, good times! Oh and corn hole! Christy and I won a total of ZERO games, but are defensive players! We’ll get em next time! I think Randy must practice when he’s not playin in the dirt!

Here are some Pics from Joe's Party
Everyone says she looks like me?!

He Rocks!

This is GOOD

I heard something tonight on the radio that really made me think.

We should be searching more for the face of God instead of the hand of God

Just sit and think about that for a while!

Stuff

Back in the day when a preacher said something real good (like Pastor Harvey did yesterday), that preacher may have gotten an occasional "Amen" or even (in my best Sis Mary Smith voice) a "Praise God". I think the preachers back in the day would have really liked to have heard what I heard yesterday during our services! Another reason I love my church! Keep in mind when you read these, you should read them loudly with a LOT of SOUL!!!

Well! AHHH YEAH!
Dats what I'm talkin bout!
SHO NUFF!!!
Gohead on Preacher!

I've been busy this last week making DVD for some friends I used to work with. Their daughters are graduating this year. I finished them Saturday and in the words of Don Doby "I think it's the best I've ever made!"

Animal Kingdom

What in the world? I let Coney out tonight and this was on my step! I mean, either it's the fattest Salamander I've ever seen or a slug with legs! First the birds and now this! UGH!!!

Kill a Mockingbird Baby...

For those that don't know the "Mockingbird Story" Read This To Kill A Mockingbird? (and if you can't request me as a friend!)

So now that your cracking up, try and settle...
Fast forward 6 months. My dad comes over and trims that bush to a manageable size and removes the nest.
Now fast forward 6 more months to about a week ago, I'm walking up to my door and WHAT do I notice in my OTHER more manageable than the other cherry tree in front of my front window? A NEST! OH NO, not another one! I pick up the pace as I walk to the door. That same night, Leslie is over and offers to dispose of the nest but my gloves were in the shed in the back yard and it was dark, etc, etc and she was "NOT touching that without gloves"
Days go on and no momma bird flies at my head so tonight after I cut my grass, I grabbed my gloves and headed out to the front yard to show this mockingbird who's boss! I put on the gloves and look around....I'm gonna put my head phones back on JUST in case momma bird comes flying, I won't hear her! Grab the nest and what do I find? 3 eggs! Oh Dang! I'm sorry little babies, if your crazy momma hadn't pecked my head last year, you may have had a chance! oh come on like you wouldn't have done the same thing! go ahead, Call PETA! RIP Baby Mockingbirds!
