today, i visited a ''new'' store that has recently opened up in a nearby town. it was roses. i used to go to roses as a child.we would go and shop there for hours. this was when wal-mart was not really popular yet.... anyway, i saw some neat things, and i will definately be going back, soon.
i stopped to get some lunch before retuurning home. we had a good st. patrick's day. we went to eat at bronco's before going to get some groceries.

super saturday



today was a windy day, and kind of cool. we had the day off. chris went to an appointment early this morning. i dropped him off ,and i went to some of my favorite stores in town. i was going to cvs to get something, but they did not have what i wanted.after picking chris up from his appointment, we ''blew'' in to bojangles for breakfast. we went to walmart to pick up a few things we would need for the week, when i saw someone i knew. i told him it really was not me , he just thought it was, lol... the reason why i say this is because i got straight up this am, threw on some clothes, brushed my hair, and out the door we went. i was without makeup, and really did not feel quite ready for anyone to see me that knew me... lol... so anyway, bro. wayne, the next time you see me i will try to look better, and sorry you had to see me this way!!!


tonight, my grandma,mother, sisters, and i were invited to a fundraiser at my aunt's church. it was a parade of tables. we had lots of fun. our table was in a ''let's play ball'' theme. everything at our table had something to do with baseball. all of my cousins plus my nephew play baseball so they decided to do a baseball theme.
we had baseball diamonds as placemats,baseball handpainted plates,napkin rings, that were actually baseball bracelets,napkins that had baseball bats and balls on them,baseball cards for placecards, and our favors were big league chew bubble gum, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. we had ranch chicken, green beans, hash brown casserole, slaw, bread, and our choice of desserts. it was a very good meal and a nice time of fun and fellowship.
it was a great time for our family to get together. we always like being all together. back row is lorieann, granmaw, angie, mother, and me.. front row is my cousin, amy, aunt diana, and my cousin , pam. we enjoyed parading the tables and we had some great singing, also, some funny entertainment by the ''do right'' family. i have a video of them, and i will try to download it this week.they always show up at any of their events... hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

just another rainy day

it is pouring down rain here today. another day to be lazy and cuddle on the couch with a good book, or watch some good movies, and fix some good, comfort food. if you don't live in the south, and not know what comfort food is, i will tell you. it is food that you have or have had as a child, that when you or your family had it, it always made you ''feel''good. it may be a old family recipe or just something you like on certain occassions, anyway, it is sometimes something ''warm''. so, today we will probably be having some good comfort food for lunch, lol!!!! i just might fix some more taco chili beans. they sure were good last week.
we are enjoying some time off together this weekend, i am ready for that, and hopefuuly this rain will pass, and we willl have a sunny saturday!!!!!

today and yesterday's weather was definately different. it has been stormy, cloudy, dreary, and pouring down rain all day. they called 2 weather warnings today at work. they were both tornado warnings. i was praying that we would all be safe till the storm passed. it was lightening real bad.
tonight, i was driving home, and those big trucks just fly by you and you can't see anything. i am just glad to be home safe with my hubby!!!!! i am very glad we got some much needed rain, but i don't like to travel in it!!
i hope everyone is doing great in bloggerland and is staying well. my family is feeling better. sweet dreams!!
