Surprise Party

Hey Y'all,
Well it is 88 degrees here in Va. today so you know what that means...the A.C. is on already.
I hate to be hot...lol
So in my effort to continue to catch up since I have been gone I wanted to share with ya what my family did.
I have told you before I have the best family! I love them all so very much!

On my Birthday Feb.24 were were told to be at my mom and dad's church for a special ceremony for my dad.
It was a Hoax!
Well when we got there we were blown away by a Surprise Birthday Party for my 40th  and Lee's 50th!

Joanne made the "Over the Hill" cake and cupcakes


Lee...well nuff said...lol

Jay, Joanne, Amanda and Shelby

My cousin Todd who is the most talented musician on the planet!

James looks thrilled lol


Colby loved the "walker"
All photo's except for the last one were taken by Colby :)
Thanks Squirt for taking the photos of our party.

 Y'all we had no idea they were planning a party.
All of the immediate family attended as well as our friend Danny and his wife Kathy.
There was a ton of food and every bit was delicious.
My sisters and mom know how to spread a table!
Beth was the one who organized everything and everyone had a part in it.
We felt so special and so loved.
It is a memory we will cherish forever.
I am blessed beyond what I deserve.
Thank You Lord for my family and friends.

    Happy Belated Birthday! 40 was my very favorite age. I hope it's a good year for you, too. Lots of fun things at your party. I love surprise parties, I'm glad they pulled it off!
    We're having bad storms here this evening and they're coming your way. Cool weather will follow.

    It's warm here - some days require the AC and the heat at night. Crazy weather. It's also been cooler than usual and rain. We've had wonderful rain! Praise the Lord!

    I think I said HBD before, but in case I did not: HaPpY BiRthDaY to Y'aLl!

    Looks like everyone, maybe except James, had a great time. ;)

    Take care -

A RE-Post...

Hey Y'all! How are ya today? The weather is cooler...I am anxiously awaiting the first frost of fall! I think that is my favorite day of the year...well next to a snow day that is! I was fiddling around my blog, looking at the page views and out of nowhere this post had 6 views today, so I thought I would re-post it, I still feel it and believe it as much today as I did last year when I wrote it. As a matter of fact, reading it made me feel better. This post is from last November, I did a month of counting my blessings, this was day 2. Today I am thankful and blessed. I am thankful today that I am saved by grace. I love knowing Jesus as my savior. Image from google I love the knowledge that no matter what He is there for me. My dad told me once that when times are so tough, if you just imagine sitting with Jesus and talking to Him it will get better. I often picture in my minds eye sitting on the beach with Jesus on my right and my dad on my left and my husband behind me

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
