I think I have finally figured this out, how to get to post something. I have been extremely busy, with the state meeting, Master Farm Homemaker judging, realty school, CV and JD. April is going to be quite eventful for me, and I am loving every minute of it. I am through with the realty school, now I just got to go take my test. I have been invited to join the Master Farm Homemaker guild, after they came and judged us, and state meeting is going well. CV and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary next week, we are still in shock that it is here. Kristi and Pierce will be coming home on Tuesday 21st, to attend the Master Farm Homemaker banquet. I cannot wait to get sugar off of that baby. We will get another baby the first of November. I am so thankful, and wished they lived closer.
I am writing this so everyone will remember that the 12th of April is Easter, and we will host Easter dinner here, around 2:00 p.m. I am going to fix ham and roast beef, mashed potatoes, and maybe corn pudding. You all bring what you want, and I look forward to seeing all of you. I want to see you in your Easter outfits.

Another Birthday Celebrated...
Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown
Just wanted to post a few pictures of Scottie, who turned five today. Strange how fast those five years disappeared. I called him earlier today, asking him if he wanted to go out to dinner. He did, so we went. His two picks as to where to eat were Frishes and Bob Evans. You can get grilled cheese at either one. I don't know who loves grilled cheese more, him or Daniel.
But anyways... for your viewing pleasure.
Sissy Girl and the Birthday Boy...
Daddy Lyle and his boy...
Nana stealing kisses from her 'ittle girl...
Sissy has to try to get her some kisses, too...
Much love and kisses from my house to yours!

Wishing da Man...
Hey Y'all! Did you remember that today is Shane Allen's birthday? I know I saw several wishes on his FB page. I added mine to the growing list. But thought I would add one here as well. I finally was able to connect to the 'net. This gol-durned thing is enough to drive a person insane.
Anyways...while I still can, Happy Birthday Dear Shanie Boy!!!

(But you ain't there just yet. Hope that your day was filled with love and laughter.)

this one...
:) So, after a few really long days of waiting for a reply to my offer(s)....they accepted my last one! Closing is set for the end of April. It has been such a whirlwind. I am wishing desperately that my things would pack themselves. Anywho, I went over there tonight and took some pictures. Thought I'd share them with all of you.
lots of love to you all. ~dana
lots of love to you all. ~dana

this one or that one?
hey y'all. so, i'm in the process of buying a new house. it's been tough! and somewhat fun... ya know, it's a lot trickier than i first thought b/c there's so much to think of. are you okay with a big yard? is the area safe? can you handle a small kitchen if you have a larger dining room? do you like the layout? how close is it to highways, bus stops, grocery stores, etc? what's the resale possibility? what are the neighbors like? yeah, that's just a start.
like i said, there is soooo much to think about and that doesn't even count the whole loan process (tons of paperwork!) Right now, I am playing the waiting game on this townhome: Here it is.
It's listed WELL below it's value and is pretty much in move in condition. I never thought I'd be interested in a townhome, but I *really* hope this one works out. I made an offer yesterday and am waiting to hear back.
Hope y'all are doing well and can't wait to see you soon! I'll keep you posted about the house hunting.
much love!

Just so Y'all know...
Hi Y'all.
Seems like Sarah Beth has been the only one who has had words to post on the family blog. Since I'm home with the flu and today being the first day I have been able to think coherently for more than a few minutes at a time, I thought I would drop in.
Yes, I have the ole flu bug. It bit fast and hard. I went to work Tuesday afternoon not feeling myself. Didn't look too hot either by the observations given by co-workers. Nevertheless, I stayed the entire shift, but by the time I drove home, did the few things I needed to do like take out the garbage, laundry, dishes, etc. I was tired. Not bad tired or so I thought. Morgan came out after I got home. Guess it's a good thing his schedule is about as screwed up as mine. Otherwise, we'd never see each other. Regardless, we got caught up, ate a light supper, and then started catching up on all the 'net reading we had missed. Ok, he did most of the surfing. I was on the couch by then. Wrapped in a blanket, freezing, sneezing, hacking and coughing.
"You poor girl, you don't sound so good." Yeah? Well, I don't feel so good.
Next morning, I ached all over. Wanted to do nothing but lay on the couch, snooze, talk when talked to, pop a few Motrins every few hours to help ease the body aches and headache somewhat. The brief periods in between the pain were filled with the normal day to day things, like lunch, blogging and then dinner.
That lasted roughly 24 hrs before it laid me out completely. By the time Morgan had to leave Thursday morning, I was most miserable. Called the doctor who didn't have any appointments available, but you can come in after hours to the "First Come First Served Clinic". You know what that means? Yep, you sit till they call your name. Just what I want or need to do when all I'm wanting is to be in bed.
But I went.
Only had to sit for a brief one magazine read. Was called back to the exam room where the nurse takes all information, temperature, blood pressure. One more item to note, I was surprised at my weight. Who knew? Maybe being sick isn't such a bad thing after all.
The nurse leaves me curled up on the short little exam table awaiting the docs arrival. Even with me being so short, those tables were made for midgets. Finally the doc knocks and enters, asks the same questions the nurse had me answer just a few short minutes before. If I'm not mistaken, she even wrote my answers down. He checks my ears, throat, and nose. Listens to my lung sounds... Then proclaims in a wise doctor voice... "sounds like you have the flu, very contagious by the way. I suggest you take ibuprofen, chicken soup and lots of rest. Oh, no work till at least Monday."
Note to Shane Allen: YOU will have a better bedside manner when you become one of them, right? Please say yes, cause otherwise me and your momma will hunt you down like a rabid dog to make you change your ways. It takes compassion, caring and empathy for a good bedside manner. Qualities that I know you have in abundance. Just don't let them disappear on your way up. Got it??
Alrighty then. Sign me out, give me my work slip, prescription and Thank you very much. They take your money on your way out.
I stopped at the local Walgreens to get the Tamiflu prescription filled. Even picked up some juices. High tailed back to the house to bed. Popped the first of the twice a day pills. Drank some juice, made a few phone calls to the ones who cared enough to ask, then wrapped myself in a blanket, collapsed on the couch again.
You know what? I think my body was tired of all that laying in bed or on the couch, because sometime during the night, it was more comfortable to sleep on the floor. So I did.
There you have it folks, the details and description of that little bug called "the flu". Don't let him catch you unawares. His bite is definitely worse.
Reckon it's time for some chicken soup and another pill or two.
Much love from my house to yours...
No kisses cause I'm contagious, ya know?

Friday post
So yet another week has come and gone and what a week it has been! If you are reading this, you are alive and kicking and hopefully giving thanks to the good lord above for that. We could all be much worse off than we currently are and I thank God on a daily basis for letting me have as much as I do have.
I just wanted to send out a little inspirational note that I get in my email daily and I liked the one for today. Love and hugs to each of you and I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day and weekend!
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
