Joey went to a wedding with us today. Even though it was really warm at the pavillon where the reception was held ; he insisted on keeping his jacket and tie on. He really thinks he's a dude when he's in it...(so do I)

Early yesterday morning I was awakened by blue lights flashing in my yard. I looked out of the window and could see a patrol car and another car on the edge of my front yard. At first I thought it was just a traffic stop for speeding or a similar problem. When daylight came and I went to survey what had happened; this is what I found. Two of our oldest and most beautiful dogwood trees destroyed and a trench dug into our yard from an apparent car that was driving entirely too fast and recklessly missing the curve that my house is built on...thus resulting in the pictures shown. Aside from being sickened from loosing our treasured trees; I found other items around the site that sickened me just as much..Two pieces of metal were left behind. One was a Nissan emblem from the car and the other a Bud Light can. I think you can add up all of the above facts and come up with the same conclusion that I did. Did you know that when something like this happens to your personal property that the investigating officer bears no responsibility to the homeowner to inform them of the damage. The burden of repairing and removing the debris is entirely the property owners responsibility. It says a lot for our society that someone can deface another person's property and have absolutely no responsibility to make it right. So much of our problem as a generation today is that no one is held accountable anymore.

If the old saying "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" is true; then we should be good for about 500 days! A group of us from church helped our Minister of Music with his daughter's wedding Thursday night. We dipped and wrapped 500 caramel apples for the favors for the wedding.
A new idea that Whitney had...hope she appreciates the work that was involved from her parents and friends. It took hours!!!!! I may never eat another apple again!

This is a picture of a quilt that I had made for Kelli. It is made of scraps from clothes that her two boys have out grown. It is full of precious memories of when they wore them. I hoope she will like it as much as I do.

Lately Herbert has been coming home for lunch since I am not babysitting as much with school being out for the summer. Today I fixed him a favorite of his...grilled chicken salad. I think He enjoys coming for to lunch and being able to chat and unwind a little. I like it, too.

This was my post for June 11, 2007 but the storm prevented me from using my computer. I worked all day on updating my baby girl's scrapbook. Since she will celebrate her first birthday on June 23; I wanted to finish her first year's scrapbook for her birthday. After much catching up; I finished last night.

SUNDAY MORNINGS ARE A FAVORITE TIME FOR HERB AND ME. WE LIKE TO READ THROUGH


THE SUNDAY PAPER AND THEN ONE OF US WILL FIX BREAKFAST (IF I'M LUCKY AND TAKE A LONG TIME TO READ THE PAPER; IT'S HERB FIXING THE BREAKFAST) . THEN WE GET DRESSED AND GO TO CHURCH.

IT ALWAYS MAKES ME THINK THAT THIS IS JUST WHAT OUR GOOD LORD HAD IN MIND WHEN HE SAID ON THE 7TH DAY ; MAN SHOULD REST. WORKS FOR ME!!!

EVEN THOUGH SUMMER IS A CHALLENGE FOR ME SINCE I HATE HOT WEATHER; I DO LOVE THE THINGS THAT NATURE PROVIDES. I ESPECIALLY LOVE HOMEGROWN TOMATOES SO WE DECIDED TO TRY OUR LUCK WITH THEM. HERE ARE SOME OF THE FIRST

"FRUITS OF OUR LABOR".

MIMI'S MEMORIES

I am trying this blog out for the first time to share how I

feel about my grandchildren and others who are important to me. Sometimes it is an event; sometimes just an expression that I feel is special to share...
