2007-01-08T12:56:00.000-08:00

What is Geo Cashing? huh? I asked my husband the same thing. It is message board online that gives locations of treasures. We used our gps to find them. It is nothing special...maybe a yo-yo or pin but the kids loved it. It kept us out of the house and hunting all afternoon. We found 4 of them last night.

SHARING YOUR LOVE OF CROCHET

2006-12-22T16:05:00.000-08:00

Most crocheters learn from someone else -- a parent, grandparent or friend. Even if there were no how-to books, the art of crochet would flourish down through the generations.
Here are some suggestions from experienced teachers that will help you get started.
WHO? You can teach anyone -- women, men, teens and young children from about 6 on up. You can even share the skill without sharing a language.
WHAT? Get them started by learning just the basics -- the chain, single and double crochet stitches. Once these are mastered, your student will be able to fly on her own to new heights. Here are some diagrams that will help your students.

I am in love with this sweater

I hope to teach my children the Christmas Spirit of giving.

I have been learning how to use my camera. I have been experimenting a lot with different things it has...these are some pictures I took when we went last time. I was looking at them and realized how beautiful they were without color. They are simple yet really complicated.

I went shopping....for me.

2006-12-13T08:32:00.000-08:00

I went shopping and look what I found....a great buy. I bought another skull shirt at Hot Topics For $10.98. I thought it was really cute. I went to Books A Million too and bought some books. I know I know why did you buy Parenting with Fire? I work daily in my life to be a good or great parent to my three sons. I strive to raise men not boys. This book has great things to say and help me in my life. I watched his show too on TLC, Shalom in the Home and it opened my eyes to a lot of things I do...yelling, gripping...I can go on forever. I want to inspire my kids not bog them down with gripping.

Officer Delicious, aka West Palm Beach police officer Terry Golden

2006-12-13T08:24:00.000-08:00

Officer Delicious, aka West Palm Beach police officer Terry Golden, stands at Okeechobee Boulevard and Jog Road on Wednesday morning as he watches for cars running red lights and alerts nearby fellow officers. "I've seen people drive by eating food and when they see me, the food just falls out of their mouth" Golden said of his outfit. He estimates that more than 100 people were pulled over Wednesday morning. (Uma Sanghvi / The Post) Another crazy story for Florida.

The Pearlington Project Katrina Foundation, Inc.

2006-12-11T16:37:00.000-08:00

The Pearlington Project Katrina Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation. Its mission is simple: To build permanent homes for the residents of Pearlington, Mississippi, who lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina.
Pearlington, Mississippi is a small, rural, unincorporated community. As such, there is no government to advocate for these citizens and no recovery plan. There are tremendous inequities in how aid and resources are distributed. The major aid organizations, including those that would normally rebuild homes after a disaster, have left Pearlington, even though many families—including those with children and frail elderly people—still have no permanent homes and no prospects for housing. And, most urgently, at the end of February 2007—just a few months from now—FEMA will come to reclaim its trailers—the only shelter most residents of this rural, unincorporated community have.

Check out there website just click on the link. I attached a few pictures fro Mississippi when I went to Biloxi. I could not understand the devastation until I went and saw it with my own eyes.

Hooking, Looming and Knitting on the Beach 1st Meeting

2006-12-11T13:52:00.000-08:00

Well, I am sad to say the yarn loving group was not a hit. No one showed. You can see how bored my youngest son was...he took pictures of everything. I kept busy by doing my homework and looming. I made a hat for my nephew, made another wine bottle cover with that funky yarn and I started a hat out of my new book I got for my anniversary with the above yarn. I just wanted one person to show up.....hopefully next month will be better...

Here comes Christmas...

2006-12-11T07:57:00.000-08:00

Well we had a blast last night. We Put up our Christmas trees and decorated the house. My nephew Bradley has been staying with us since Friday. He help decorate too. We made a huge dinner with hot chocolate and ate our wedding cake for dessert. You can see our huge mess we had....we had boxes all over the house. Instead of having one big tree I had the kids decorate three little trees and put them all around the house. Oh ya and we had Christmas music blasting in the back round.

My wonderful gifts.....

2006-12-10T17:48:00.000-08:00

Today is our anniversary. We met at the beach behind Schooners a local restaurant/bar. Our kids were playing together and they introduced us. We started dating right away...we were in love. About a year later he proposed to me when we went camping with my family to Henderson State Park
on one knee. Soon after that we eloped to Las Vegas and got married. I never thought love would be this way...I thought it would never happen .....I met my husband and he makes me laugh until I cry, he hugs me and most of all loves.

Something cool that Xerox is doing If you go to this website, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a Thank you card and Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier currently Serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets your card, but it will go To some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need To know we are behind them

2006-11-15T12:03:00.000-08:00

What kind of knitting needles are you?

You are "turbo" charged.Fast moving and classy, you get things done with power and grace. Your expensive tastes can be deceiving, since what you really value is quality and efficiency. As you're careening around those corners in life, finishing a dozen knitted objects each month, stop and smell the roses. Don't miss the beauty of process!
Take this quiz!

Home for the Holidays

Panama City Beach, FL - Head to downtown Panama City for Home for the Holidays, a unique holiday event.
Home for the Holidays features Horse Drawn Carriage Rides through Historic Downtown, Christmas Carolers, Live Window Displays, Nativity Scenes, Visits with Santa, Hot Cocoa and Cider and much more.

I went to a local website for the events coming up and look what I found....Horse carriage rides. I think that is so romantic. (I already e-mailed this to my husband too!) I am so excited the holidays are coming.
