My Dad's birthday weekend too

Today, Sunday August 31, 2008, my dad turns 71.
We all eat at Applebee's for supper. Dad really looks good today.
I think that he felt better today than he has in a past few months.






Allen Birthday



Well this weekend was Allen's 48th birthday. We stayed at home most of the day and did a little yard work, which we both love to do. Brandy and Cody came over and we all went to Nana & Clyde's for a joined hotdog supper. It was their 5th wedding anniversary as well as Allen's birthday.

My darlin' husband does not look his age, he looks so much younger.

See pictures below.

Blue Day



Well today was a blue day for me this morning, but as the day went by it got better.


I had a very full evening last night with my dad and was so tired when I got back home last night and then this morning when I got to work had received an email that just tore me up.


It was a powerpoint presentation with Josh Gorban singing. It was about parents and kids.


Well needless to say after spending the evening with my aging dad and then seeing this, I was in a very depressed mood, UNTIL Brandy and Caroline (my daughter and my neice) paid me a visit at my office. It was wonderful seeing them and at just the right time.




I am attaching a picture of them.


and also one of me and my dad.

this picture was taken a our Christmas get together in 2007.
Sunday is Dad's Birthday, he'll be 71 years old.
His health is getting worse and he's going through a lot right now with his kidneys failing, but we're trying to enjoy our time together and trying to get together more often.
Anyway, I just needed to talk about my day.
thanks for listening (reading).

August 19, 2008

Today is a typical day...work, arrands, etc.
Not sure why I decided to write a few lines, but here I am.

Allen's birthday is coming up at the end of the month, so is my dad's and my nephew, Gage's.

I have tried a number of times to add my google calendar to my blog, but for some reason or another, I haven't been able to get it.
I would like for my family to know what's coming up.

I have talked with Tracy, Allen's cousin from Alabama, about this zoo that is in her neighborhood. She and the kids have gone there many times.. I'm going to try and post the website link to this blog, so that you can look at the place.
Hope that it works.

I hope that we can go back soon to visit Tracy and the family and go visit the zoo too.

Holler back, ya.

Last night was a great night. Allen had his 30 year class reunion. Easley High Class of 1978.


My husband was so handsome. He looks so young, much younger than his other classmates.


We had a wonderful time. It was nice to dress up and go out. We don't go out as much as we use to. Becoming older has made us somewhat of homebodies.




I don't know who will ever see this blog thing of mine, but I will try to remember to post something from time to time, just for future stake.


Pictures attached are of the two of us and a few of Allen's classmates.
