Sharing and Bubbles

I know the title doesn't go together but that's what I just named it:):)

I kept Celie yesterday afternoon, Matthew brought her to me to go on his work out session. Not me!! So good for him and Sarah, they seem to enjoy it. Anyway Celie was not feeling well at all but she was good. I took some pictures of her sharing her Goldfish with who has become a beggar since we got her, thanks to Mike giving her table scraps. You can see the little fish in her hand, it was cute.

Then Papa came home for just a few minutes and played with her and the bubble machine. I love that thing, I loved bubbles when I was little also. I guess everyone does. She loved them too. I don't think she could figure them out but she liked it. I had taken her out on the front step because of the sun, you don't dare go into the shade or you will be eaten alive by the trillion gazillion mosquitoes . But the main reason was for her to be in the sun and do a big sneeze so all that junk in her nose would come out, and it worked. It didn't take but a few seconds and there she blows. Man alive it was a mess, but at least she got some of the snot out.(how gross)

FairPoint HDTV

I love the new HD channels, the only problem is channel 13 local TV it stinks. I get involved in it then it goes crazy or goes completely off. Last night I was watching Dancing with the Stars and sure enough it goes off or makes that crazy picture like the DISH did when there was a cloud overhead. So I missed the good dancers and I started praying, don't go out, don't go out. Oh well, there are only a couple of TV shows that I really like to watch uninterrupted. I just hope Fairpoint gets all the kinks out soon. But the HD channels are amazing, the color is so like you are right there:):)
Now tonight, I will be highly upset if American Idol goes off, and then on channel 13 the results of Dancing with the Stars, who gets the boot.
So hopefully it will stay on!!!
And another thing the remote, yea Mike cannot work it. I have told him at least well every time he turns his TV on, he can't get it right yet!!! I have finally learned just don't press any button that's not to be pressed or else you have BIG problems. But over all I enjoy the channels the only one that they don't have yet is Oxygen.
Have I mentioned my rose bush, YES I have!!!! I am just amazed at how big it grew like over night and the most beautiful blooms all year. I guess this is really the peak time because it looks like every stem has a million blooms and it smells sooooooo good.
Well I had to be the bad Meme yesterday with Celie. She was so cute as she went to the green chairs and wanted to get on them. She did the please sign which is so cute so I let her get up there. Well before I could catch her she falls out, I am sure my scream is what scared her the most.
Then she wanted on the couch, same thing happened so I said no more couch or chair, she was upset with me for a little while. I am so glad I had carpet!!! But she was so cute doing the "please" sign.

Sunday a Great Day at Church

WE had such a good service at church today. Mike spoke and it was really good. Also he shared something that I will share with whoever reads my Blog.
Mike and a friend and his son were together this week and the son said that he had to share something that was told at his church. Now this gave me chill bumps so big and they started at my head to my toes. So this is the story, and it is TRUE!!!!!
This usher at this church in Panama City told this as it happened to his wife's friend in the north this week. She was driving home from work and as she was driving she saw a man hitchhiking, well she has never picked up one before, you just don't do it now days as it is not safe. Well she just felt so impressed to pick this man up, so as he got in the car she told him she has never picked up a hitchhiker before but for some reason she felt impressed to pick him up. Then she asked where he was going and he told her that he would tell her when they got there. But he looked at her and said,"The Lord said to tell you that Gabriel has his lips on the trumpet" well she started shaking so hard and when she looked back over to the man, he was gone. Well it upset her so bad, she didn't know what to do, should she stop or keep going. So as she looked in her rear view mirror she saw the police and he pulled her over because of her driving all over the road. As the officer approached her he told her she better have a good excuse if not she would get a ticket. The lady said just write me a ticket because you are not going to believe what I'm going to tell you. Well the officer said just try me, then she told him the whole story about the hitchhiker. Then the officer said, I am not going to give you a ticket because you are the 6Th person that has told me that today. WOW!!!!!!
We better get ready, I know that it cannot be much longer. But also know our timing is not like Gods timing, it might take 100 more years, but to think , "His lips are on the trumpet" is just a little bit closer to His coming.

HDTV Love It !!!!!

I have really been enjoying the HDTV it is amazing, in fact the picture is so clear that it bothers my eyes :):) The only problem, well there are two. The remote you have to really pay attention when you use it, it is pretty complicated and sometimes the picture will go off and then back on. Maybe this is one of the problems they may be working on, other than that it is great.
And this was my fault that I didn't notice in the package I chose it did not have call screen - telemarketer, oh my word. I did not realize it was taken off and what a pain, I mean the very minute it was off the telemarketers began calling thank goodness I have caller ID. I just could not believe how quickly they started calling once you didn't have to press 1:(:(
I want to add it back but my money aware husband says just look at the number and don't answer, well they call at 9:00 what a pain!!!!, it only cost 5.50 oh well.
Yea for Celie!!!!! She probably will be drinking from the cup really good by next week. I wish she knew how to drink from a straw but that will come too.

My New Blog Page

My daughter-in-law Marci designed this for me and I love it. She said she had a hard time finding what she thought I would like but it is perfect. I love everything about it and the music also. I hope that maybe when they come that she can show me some of her smarts on this stuff. I love the soft music, it's like you want to worship God right then, I love Michael W Smith also.
I am a little lonesome today, I don't have Celie on Thursday's anymore. But I totally understand, how much more fun can she have with all those kids her age. Plus it helps in sharing and to communicate more. I loved the little picture of The Gang. They all look so cute !!!!

Nice Back Yard

Well this is starting out not about the back yard yet. As I am typing I have two dogs that are asleep and dreaming both at the same time they are making so much noise, kicking, inside barking, running, not really sure what they dream about but these two are very loud dreamers. Daf must be dreaming about the small piece of hot dog I gave her she is really smacking her lips and doing the eye twitching. Macie has finally quieted down and sleeping soundly.

OK, now on to the back yard. We have a rose bush called "knock-out roses" it is beautiful and blooms ALL year long and smell so good. You need to get one, even the freezing weather didn't kill it. And do you notice all the green grass? I LOVE IT!!!!!! It is really thick and I like to walk out on it. Just thought I would share:):)

Our Green Yard

I am so proud of our yard this year. Mike has really done well in getting it ready for the spring and summer. Got the mole crickets under control, they will kill your yard really fast. I posted a couple of pictures right after the massive rainfall we had including with bad lighting and thunder, but what some heavenly rain will do for a yard, it's amazing.

American Idol / Dancing with the Stars

I hate to admit that I love these two shows. I guess because the talent of it, I guess. I watched Idol and was somewhat bored with most of the song choices. And I have a few favorite ones that I might have to change my mind on. First, sorry I like Danny but last night I really heard for the first time the screaming in his voice. The song was good but the screaming part no.
Scott : Sorry he is sweet but NO.
Lil : No
Kris : I like him but last night I turned the channel. I don't like the part that you go out into the audience.

Anoop : YES, smooth voice I like.
Allison : YES
Matt : My new favorite one, he just needs to sing like last night always.
Adam : YES, but he is already a seasoned singer and I don't think it's fair to the others. He has had too much training, just not fair. But I really like him, he needs to be in musicals. Watching him is like watching an already made performer.
DANCING WITH THE STARS
NO WAY should the BIG football player have made it through !!!!!
David Alan Grier was so much better!!! But my favorite is Cheryl and Gilles.

Saturday Outing :)

Well I did something Sat. that I NEVER would do unless Mike is with me. I had a little outing with Matthew, Sarah and Celie it was fun. I wasn't tired at all when we got home at 3pm, so that was nice. But what I did with Matthew egging me on was buy a new TV. So we didn't go very far at Best Buy because all the new Sony HDTV's were right at the front door as you walked in. I have really wanted one for a while. The one we have is really big I love it also but no HD and it weighs 300 pounds, it took I think 4-5 men to pick it up and bring in my house. So where ever it was put it stayed.
But since I have signed up for a new plan with Fairpoint and added cable with the plan and high speed internet and some FREE HD channels I just had to buy a new TV:):) It is really nice it is so light I can just pick it up myself. So I did make one mistake, I didn't purchase the good cables to hook up so the picture isn't quite as clear right now. But don't fear I had my mother pick them up yesterday. I need them when the guy comes to hook my new cable, I can't wait.
But getting back to the actual purchasing of the TV, I was so scared that I would not be approved as I don't have a job right now but my worry was in vain I was approved. But I can't believe Matthew talked me into such a purchase, but I did get the ok from Mike.
The trip to Panama was nice, I didn't realize after telling my mother how many places we went to in such a short time.We went to 6 different places excluding eating and it was a drive through. It was fun!!!!!!
