It's that time of year again

Well it's that time of year again. Time for the big labor day flea market that hits Hillsville Va every year. I live on the outskirts of town but it's still Hillsville and I enjoy it. Not only the flea market but the many yard sales that go with it. If you are into this come on into town and check us out. If not I suggest you stay as far away from here as possible being it's one of the largest around and there will be thousands upon thousands of people here.

It's my birthday

I'm not writing this to make a fuss about my birthday but only to say I am happy that God has allowed me to see 48 But I am starting to feel old now. My husband says it's only in my mind. My th0ughts are I still feel like a teenager in my mind. My mind is not the problem. But anyway I am blessed and I am going to enjoy my day with my family. I have already received several pretty cards from church, family and friends. It's raining so I'm going to lay back enjoy the day and hey my nephew is home what more can I ask for I am thankful and blessed.

What a week-end

Boy have we had a full week-end around here. We went to my husbands family reunion on Saturday at Hungry Mothers state park and had a real good time seeing family that we had not seen for awhile. Spent the day and had a good time. Then on Sunday we had a birthday party for my nephew. He's the one thats in from the military and I had a great time seeing him. He is sapossed to be here for another week and a half. All these good things happening God is good isn't he?. Hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed day.

Todays the day

Todays the day that my nephew is coming home. I can hardly wait. He is sapossed to arrive in Charlotte N.C. sometimes this afternoon. My brother in law, sister, and his girlfriend(who has become a part of our family) are going down to pick him up. He is sapossed to be here two weeks. I know they will fly by. I haven't seen him in six months since he went over seas. Hopefully he will be in the states for awhile now. So his name is Matt so remember him in your prayers. God bless you all. I must go to the store now to pick up some things for my husbands family reunion which is on Saturday.

The party's almost over

Well it seems like we have ran all weekend doing things for B.J. On friday night we took him shopping and then to the Pizza Hut. Saturday he went on a fishing trip with his buddy from church it was an all day adventure and yes I did hear about the one that got away. But he has really gotton into fishing and I'm glad because that is a good thing to keep a young boy busy. He has a cousin who loves to fish who he does not see anymore I think the two of them would have made good fishing buddies. Then last night a preacher from down the road and his daughter took him out to eat. Today after church our friends Mark and Tracy and their girls are taking him along with his dad an I to the mexican restuant. So all in all its been a great weekend for him with lots of eating going on. Have a great day and God Bless.

Happy Birthday B.J.

Yesterday was my sons 13th birthday. I didn't have time to post a blog then because it was a busy day but I can't believe I now have a teenager. To be honest I have a little Larry the Cable Guy.(Censored version). But he really is that country.Happy birthday to anyone else who may have shared this day or today. God bless you and always remember all things are possible through Christ who strenghtens me.

New room number one

We are in the process of trying to get some home improvements done, One down. We worked really hard this week-end on my sons room.Which your child always comes first right? I think my computer room will be next. My son is so proud he has new furniture but he is really into the John Deere theme in which he has several little things but I am having a hard time finding comforters or bedspreads.Wonder where one might find these things? I did find him the window curtins though. Have a blessed day.

Off to the Walmart

Today is the day we do the dreaded, the buying of the tennis shoes. My son who will be 13 on thursday is a counrty boy through and through and all we hear at our house when it comes to buying shoes is boots, boots, boots. He owns several pair and thats all we will wear but his P.E. teacher has informed them all that a pair of tennis shoes is of the upmost importance for this class.(Which I had told him this already before school started but who listens to mom right). So anyway we are off to the Walmart store to buy tennis shoes which I could have already purchased a week ago before school started which leads me to believe I'm not so dumb after all. Am I in this boat alone. I seems like as my son reaches these teenage years we knows everything and we as his parents no nothing. Whats up with that?

Back to school

I sent my son off to school today in the pouring down rain and not to mention thunder and lightning. But he was happy as a lark. He was starting eighth grade and he felt so grown up. I love my boys so much. they are the light of mine and my husbands life. I know if you are a parent that you know what I am talking about. Well heres hoping he has a great year. He has set lots of goals for hisself. I'd love to hear from any parent especially if you have young teens.

Back to the states

My nephew is back in the united states after a six month stint in kuweit. He is now back in Mississippi at his home port. I love him so much. I am so glad that he is back there. I hope to see him in a couple of weeks. I thank God for getting him back safe.

fiddlers convention

It's that time of year again. It's time for the old time fiddlers convention in Galax Virginia. This for those of you who do not know is world wide known. I do not attend but have on occasion drove by to see the thousands of people and sometimes listen to it on the radio. I live in the next town over which is Hillsville. Which is also known world wide for its labor day flea market which is all over town and one of the biggest so I am told. This I do partake in since I happen to be a lover of flea markets and yard sales. If your ever in our neck of the woods drop on by and check it out if this happens to be something of interest to you. Have a blessed day.

Pray for a safe trip home for my nephew

Sometime this weekend my nephew is sapossed to be returning to the United States after a six month stint in Kuweit. He is in the U.S. Navy and I am so proud of him Please if anybody out there is reading this and pray at all let a good prayer go up for him and the others for his safe return home. I miss him so much.

Party on friday

Today was my husbands company picnic. He works for the Virginia Dept of Transportation. We had a great time, We had some friends of ours that also worked there and his wife to furnish the music. We had great food, hoseshoe contest, golf contest, bingo, fifty fifty drawings and lots of door prizes. I met alot of people I didn't know but had heard my husband talk about quite alot. It was a great day of fun and fellowship. But the only thing is I am not used to going to partys during the week so now today has seemed like Saturday all day. Now tomorrow is Saturday and I feel like I should be getting ready to go to church. Go figure. Have a great weekend.
