We are going fake...

It had been a great tree when we first got it. However, it sucked up water like a sponge that I was filling up the base several times a day. Within a week when you passed by the tree you could hear the neeedles dropping. Christmas morning there were tons of needles all over all the packages. Christmas night the tree seemed to have a huge sign hovering over it that flashed "fire hazard, fire hazard". We ended up taking it down that night and just with the routine of taking off the ornaments the tree was bare and just a huge trunk of naked branches.
So, next year we are going fake...baby !!!! Just need to figure out where we are going to store it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Friends, Food and Fun

It was a blast the other night. We all got together for an evening of food and drinks. It had been along time since our last outing. Aftwards several of us walked up to Target to get some of those last remaining gifts. Hey Kimberly, we are going to miss you once you move. But you will have to come back up every now and again for our dinners. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas !!!

Gimme Land lots a Land....

We did it...We bought 5 acres in beautiful Kentucky...near Lexington to be more exact but even closer to Georgetown Ky..home of the Toyota plant. My friend Jason is still shocked that we have moved to his home town. (Cynthiana) It has beautiful rolling hills and farms on both sides of the property...one even has a cute red barn. I am excited to build a great house, however, Mike can't technically retire for 6 years.... but we are probably looking at more then 8 before we can build and move. He hopes that maybe he can then relocate to the Cinci Ohio airport (only an hour drive) The folowing are the photos the realtor took....In the last photo our property is under the big white 1 in the word Phase 1.

Shhhhh....

Jason doesn't want anyone to know that it will be his birthday on Sept 6th.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's Start Over

I am not making any promises....I am going to TRY and attempt to post more often.

Myspace

My head is head high...even though my children, or should I say teenage boys are laughing at me.

I have a myspace!!!!! No, it isn't for the purpose of spying on my kids. They know that I check their myspace accounts from time to time. It is strickly for me and my friends who have accounts. Most of the friends on "my" myspace are Phi MU related. We talk so much via email we have found that myspace give us a chance to show photos and information about each of us.
