Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a a wonderful and merry Christmas.
This one was a little tough for our family since it was the first without Dad. On Christmas eve we shared memories of Dad, laughed and cried, but we survived. Just have to remind ourselves that he had Christmas with Jesus this year.

Christmas Program '07

I had the privilege of participating in the Christmas play in TN tonight. The play was set in the 60's and was written about a business man, Jake Johnson, who owned a private hospital and refused to help anyone without money or insurance. That is, until Christmas eve when a baby is born in a car in his parking lot. The character of Jake Johnson was played by Yours Truly, and his wife, Libby, was played by my best friend, Jill.

Meet Maya

I adopted Maya in April of this year. She was scared, nervous, and quite noisy...
When I found out I was moving to Tupelo and would be gone for two weeks of training, my niece offered to keep Maya...that's the last I have seen of Maya except for supervised visits and photos. This cat is CRAZY! She has trained her new adoptive family to clean the litter box immediately after use or she will punish...seriously, and she also is too good to drink out of a water dish. Her water must come from a running water source as you will note in the photos. What about the water dish? I'm glad you asked. The water dish is now simply a paw-washing station to be used after tidying up around the litter box. She's hilarious!

Years ago....

I was digging through my email inbox tonight, replying to a few previously ignored emails, deleting others, and came across an email that included the following photos. While living in KS, I met two of my best friends, Bethany and Courtney, who in turn were introduced to my other best friend, Scott. A few years ago, on one fine Spring day Beth, Court, and I flew out to PA to visit Scott and take in the sites, sounds, smells, etc...of PA and DC. I will never forget having to stay overnight in Cockeysville, MD where I almost ended up in a fight with the hotel's front-desk-clerk, Tarice, over the price of the room. The next morning we arose early to continue our adventure in Washington D.C. There are many other details that made this trip one I will always remember, but I will spare you of them for now.

I'm back!!!

I think I am back in the blogging world again for awhile... After Dad's death, moving to TN, moving to MS, multiple technical difficulties, etc...I just seemed to not be able to blog very often at all. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up with events in my life again.
