It's Almost Christmas!!!!

Tessia received one of her Christmas gifts early this year; she
got it this past weekend in Fayetteville at The Bee Line.

Time for some LAUGHTER

My current fav on YouTube

Mother

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth no the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
- Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31

WOW

Do my mother and I look a like or WHAT??!?!
This photo of my mother was taken in
1964, when she was 29 years old.

4th of July in Gentry, Arkansas

Tessia, her friend Nikki, and I spent the 4th of July
weekend in North Arkansas.
We had a blast at the "Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari"
in Gentry.
We also spent time in Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville.

The Number One Candidate for '08

Dancin' Weapon of Choice

We love to watch America's Best Dance Crew on MTV.
This is my favorite group from last season:
Break SK8




But....this one has got to be my all time favorite dance video!!!

My poodle thinks he is a sculpture!!

I recently acquired this lovely "reading girl sculpture"
for my birthday and I absolutely love it.


This is where I placed it in my home. As you
can see, my poodle, Jasper, sat there as I was taking
the photograph....I swear, I did not pose him like that!!!
He thinks he is a living sculpture! LMAO

Decorative Item and Jasper

I've recently added this beautiful mirror to
the decor of my living room. My sweet
mother gave it to me and I think it looks like
it was made for this space! Click here
to see what I had there previously.


I have not posted any photos of Jasper lately,
so here are a couple taken recently.
:)

SUMMER 2008 is HERE

GET ME OUTTA HERE! LOL
Tessia's last day as a Sophomore!




Summer '08 began with RiverFest in Little Rock!
Tessia went with a friend and her family to RiverFest
in downtown Little Rock. She had a great time at
all the concerts.





Summer has continued with Tessia and her
friends just goofing off and having fun.

Flowerbed Fun & Mother's Day

I've recently put the finishing touches

on my front flowerbed. My next project

is adding a roofed deck to the back part of the house.

The carpenter was here yesterday taking

measurements for an estimate.

Before After

I added the bird bath and lily pad.

I planted the urn and added it to my

front porch.

Full view

I added landscape lights this past weekend.

I also planted the bigger urn this past

weekend and placed it on the other

side of the house....for symmetry.

Some new photos....
