Birthday Girl

14 years ago today, at 8:27 pm and weighing in at 6 pounds 7 ounces....Karson Suzanne arrived. Since that very day, she has blessed me with much love, joy and laughter.
Happy Birthday Karson. I love you.

Farewell Johnny

I bet I have watched Dirty Dancing a million times, maybe even close to a billion, maybe even a trillion....anyway A LOT, no matter how you look at it. Goodness I love that movie. It was in this movie that I fell in love with Patrick Swayze. I have the DVD and can watch it anytime but let it be on TV and I just can't make myself change the channel. It was and still is something about that tough, dancer guy that tugs at my heart strings.

I was so sad to hear that he lost his battle to cancer. My prayers go out to his wife, Lisa. What a lucky lady, she could "dirty dance" with him everyday!

Labor Day At The Lake

Let me start off by apologizing to the world.....I am sorry for starting the tradition MANY years ago of spending Labor Day at lake. Why you ask? Well, I don't think that I can remember a Labor Day since we have been going that it has actually been "summer like". It might not always rain but it isn't typically great swimming, boating weather. So people, blame me! Still, each year, we keep going hoping that our year will finally come. We are such troopers!

We changed up our routine a little this year, you know, hoping that would finally bring about the nice weather that we always pray for, by staying at a different cabin. Even though our new destination didn't bring about the sun, it brought about a lot of laughs, food, games, drinks and memories that will last forever, especially for Macy (sorry I have been forbidden to give details).
