I'm Feeling Old

Today my oldest niece turns 17!

I remember her as just a little peanut.

As you can see, she loves horses.

Plus, she owns something that even I don't have.

  

A passport.

What might you acquire in the next 17 years, Bec?

Happy Birthday from all of us, with love! 

Blast from the Past

In the midst of all the cleaning and rearranging,

we found "old" pictures.  I thought I would post

some and see if you could guess who is who.

It doesn't seem really that the children can be as

old as they are, when it seems 'just like yesterday'

they looked like this.

Y'all did pretty well!  

I have to say, I am extremely proud of

my husband!  He is not good with names/pictures/dates, but he knew who

was who and get all three pictures right!

Way to go, T! Love you!

Stay tuned!  I have more pictures to share.

50th Word of the Week~Updated

Just a quick update.

We have been busy getting the girls room

ready for paint and a ceiling.  Couple that with it being the 

sixth week of school, and there hasn't been much 'down' time.

I wanted to get this posted so you could ruminate on it.

IMMURE: ih-myoor

1. to enclose within walls.

2. to shut in; seclude or confine.

3. to imprison.

4. to build into or entomb in a wall.

Sorry, Berger Bites, that was not a hint. :(

Good try, girls!  Thanks for playing.

Who Wants Candy?

We recently went to Sam's and bought this bag of candy.

No, we didn't go specifically to buy this bag of candy.

It was there, and it was just calling our name.

We knew when we bought it, that we would be

dividing it in half.

Half would stay at our house, and half would go to

T's work.  The secretary administrative assistant

puts out snacks for the employees.

I decided I would count how many pieces of candy were actually in the bag.

So, me being me, I just had to separate it by kind.

No, I don't have any problems with OCD, honest, I don't!

Here is the break down of the candy:

16 Hershey bars

32 Whoppers

20 Kit Kat

20 Almond Joy

and

35 Reese's PB Cups

The GRAND total of pieces of candy

123

Woo-Hoo, we made out on the deal!

Just in case you were wondering.

Yes, we still have some candy left.  I cannot speak for the

people at T's work, but I doubt they have any left.
