Great. My dog has learned to unlock the deadbolt. Next she'll be inviting strangers in and saying, 'welcome!'

PRAYER NEEDED! Latest word on Chuck is liver damage. They won't start the treatments back next week as planned. Still in hospital. Blood count not improved.

Urgent prayer request- Chuck Nutt having surgery now to remove port used to administer cancer treatments! He has a blood infection!

I've been MIA!

The last few weeks have been just insane! I know, my life is always insane but it really has been worse than usual. For those of you who have migraines, you understand when I say I've had about one a week for several weeks and they've been lasting for days. Sort of cuts into everything in life, ya know?

On a brighter note, family life has been very busy as well! So I'm posting a few pics of things that have been going on with us! As always, pictures are clickable for a better view if you are so inclined!

There was an Easter Egg Hunt at church. Jolie had so much fun!

Easter was a blast for my husband and me this year. Each year we do a scavenger hunt for the Easter baskets. This year there were 7 adult children (including spouses) and 2 grandchildren participating in my mom's not so huge house and yard. It was quite comical watching the parade of people going from one clue to another. These are a few of my favorite pictures from this event. Of course there are lots of others but didn't want to bore anyone with all of them! lol

 My son, Lee, "Mom, you've got to be kidding!"

 Daughter Andi and Crys on the right, "What the heck does that mean?"

 Liz, daughter-in-law on the left, I have no idea what she's thinking but the look on her face is priceless! And the next one is daughter, Brittney on the left looking at me like I've lost my mind!

At Mom's house the laundry room is right next to the kitchen so all the overflow dishes for big dinners goes in there on top of the washing machine. This is them moving everything to find the clue inside.

So this is them digging in the bags they found!

 Gavin with a basketball egg.

And a Spider Man book!















On  another day, I took my granddaughter for a few pictures while the flowers were blooming and before everyone mowed them down. She was much more interested in the sticks than the flowers! lol

 Gotta love the sunglasses!  But my favorite is the one below with the sticks!

Friday, my son got married! It was just a simple, fill out the paperwork and *boom* you're married! They will have a service later this summer but it was so cute to see how excited they both were.

Just attended the cheapest, fastest wedding ever! I now have a new daughter and a married son!

Wow. Worked in the yard today. Hope I can move tomorrow! lol
Crys and I had so much fun at Art, Eats, and Beats Thu night! It was great to hang out with my daughter and walk through all the shops. And the food samples and music were great, too!

Congrats! Today is tax freedom day! Everything you've earned from Jan to today has gone to pay taxes!

Art, Eats, and Beats tonight in Fondren! Come join the fun and shop local!

Monday blahs

I'm not sure if I'm just trying to recover from last week getting ready for the craft show or all the pollen. But these headaches are really getting next to me! Went to chiropractor today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Lots of new stuff to post! Coming soon!

Don't forget to come shop at A Hand Crafted Affair tomorrow! 9am to 5pm, St. Mark's United Methodist Church, Brandon.

Frantically working away!

Saturday is the local craft show that I'm participating in and I'm frantically working away to make sure I have enough items to sell. Isn't it funny how when you aren't HAVING to get layouts done, you can come up with tons of ideas? But when you feel pressured to create, you hit a creative block? Or is it just me?

Ok, back to work. Sleep deprived and very dirty house. But that will have to wait until next week! lol

If I don' get back to here before then, hope everyone has a very happy Easter! I'm looking forward to a great meal with my family and fun egg hunting with the grandkids! I know we use it a lot at Christmas, but seems to me that this is really when we should remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON! Just remember, as miraculous as Christmas was, salvation for the lost came through the death and resurrection of our Lord. God's blessings to you all!
