So Sweet!

Rainy Day Randomness

Today’s been a rainy, slightly chilly, overcast day. Yesterday it poured most of the day, but today it’s just sprinkled off and on. I’ve gotten quite a bit accomplished though, so that’s nice. Aside from our Nursing Home service (and stops at two stores) I’ve done some secretarial work for Dad and also gotten in 2 (read that: two) hours of painting!! So I’m happy. Plus my painting is coming along really well, so I’m really happy about that.  

Did you see the pictures from Jenna Bush’s wedding?! The White House only released 11 photos (which can be seen on the White House’s web-site but I can’t get a direct link), but aren’t they pretty?! It looks like it was a very simple but very elegant wedding. (Makes me want to have an outdoor wedding! ) Can you believe that they apparently managed to pull it off without the media?! Yay for them! (Article here and some more pictures [motorcade, souveiners in the area, band members, etc.] here)     

I got a skirt at the thrift store yesterday to make another apron, and I think it’s going to turn out soo cute! Maybe I’ll work on that tonight. If it turns out I’ll post a picture.

Paul Harvey’s “Angel” has died. If you’ve listened to him very much at all you’ve heard him talk about his “Angel”.

We got in on Answers in Genesis’ big sale and got some of their DVD’s for $1.99!! You can’t hardly beat that! (And the sale is still going on so it’s not too late if you’re interested!)

Oh, have I mentioned lately that I miss my niece?

Day 2 :)

Missing “my” girl

Britt has a fella!!

Some of you may remember back when Brittany “got a fella”, there was a little bit of “discussion” on my blog as to whether it was Brittany or BrittLeigh (whose name is also Brittany in “real life”). It was of course, Brittany, even though BrittLeigh’s nephew thought that it was she who needed a fella.

  

Well…now she has one! Congratulations, BrittLeigh!!

  

(To further complicate conversations in the ”blog world”, she is dating a guy named “Andrew”. So now in our ‘blog circle’ we have Sarah and Andrew, Brittany and Andrew, [not to be confused with Brittany and Ashley], Jessica and Ryan, Erica and Ryan, and Jodi and Ryan. Thank you peoples!! )

  

Um...did anybody follow any of that?!     

It’s gonna be a long week!

That cutie-pie and her parents are getting on a plane tonight and flying across the country to visit her Aunt Sarah. (Prayers for their safety are appreciated!!) What am I going to do for a week without her?!?!?! I miss her already and the plane hasn’t even left the airport.

Happy Mother’s Day!

It’s late and I don’t have alot of time to post, but I wanted to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to (as Dad says), ‘all you mothers and all of you that had a mother’.

(And I’m not really late–I posted a “Happy Mother’s Day” two weeks ago. )

Double Knockout

I voted!!!

Yep, I’ve already voted in the Kentucky Presidential Primary even though it isn’t for two weeks yet. Since we’re not working our district we had to vote absentee this year. (First time I’ve ever had to do that!) And I’m not ashamed to tell you that I very happily clicked the “Huckabee” button!!! Now I can tell my grandkids someday that I voted for Huckabee.

The bummer?

I didn’t get an “I Voted” sticker.

Rain, rain, and a little more rain.

I think we’re going to need a boat, peoples.

It has been raining pouring all. day. long! I can hear it outside the window right now just pouring down.

Oh well. It made the trees and grass look really green.

Just call me…

Judge.

I am now a sworn, raise-your-right-hand, never-been-in-a-dual-I-promise, officer of the court. Isn’t that so uniquely Kentucky?! If you are elected, say…Governor or something ( ), then you have to swear that you’ve never been in a dual!! Anyway… Spencer and I are working the polls this year and I was chosen to be a Judge. (Spencer’s a Sherriff.)

We’ve been at Election School this afternoon and are now home brushing up with our “Election Officers Quick Reference Guide” that only has a mear 57 pages! Yikes-O, there’s alot to know about working the polls! And if, say, you don’t show up? It’s punishable with up to 5 years in prison! Oh, or if you show up and then do something the wrong way? That’s punishable with up to 5 years in prison too!  What has Spencer gotten me into?!
