Stealth Retirement

The underside of this Stealth was painted as an American Flag.

The hangar was lit with orange lights, not the best color for photos!

It was so much fun to spend the weekend with great friends!

Prom

Jeffery & Dylan ready for Prom

I found my old prom dress (turned into a bar maid's costume for Halloween). We match.
I told Jeffery I could be his date if things didn't work out at the last minute for he and Sarah!

Jeffery & Sarah

Visiting from out of town, Arden, Amy and Louise. The guys wouldn't get in the picture. They felt like the kids were being tortured enough.

The flowers fell apart before the dance started. We had to hot glue them back together.

Blog, Blog, Blog

I like the idea of blogging....I really enjoy reading everyone else's pages much more than updated my own.

Shari, Thanks for joining the blog. I could try myspace, so many people use it.

Dave, where have you been? Are you boycotting blogs? I haven't seen a comment from you in a long time!

So, here is my update.

Today was a very early morning for me. It started with a 7 a.m. meeting. I'm still on the board of directors for the Chamber of Commerce. My term will end in June. That will not be too soon. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It keeps me in the know and I see a lot of the people I've known and worked with for years. I just don't want any more formal commitments for a while.

I also helped Lily and Mel with a termite job. That's always fun, seriously, and its good exercise. I get to drill holes into the concrete all the way around the house and after Mel shoots the chemical, Lily and I fill the holes back up with cement. My muscles are already sore!

I got my hair colored after lunch and saw new person. She did a good job. I tried to tell her that my gray was hard to cover and when she was all finished, she said the next time she does my hair she will have to use something much stronger because the gray didn't cover very well. I'm happy with it though. It looks natural. I like it.

We're expecting a lot of company this weekend and I'm really looking forward to that! The Stealth is being retired. We have friends coming from all over, many we haven't seen in years. It will be a sad send off but a fun weekend.

Mark gets home tonight from Vegas. He's so lucky! He got to spend a couple of days with Jenn, Josh, Grace, Mason and Jacob.

Pedicure

I had my first pedicure of the summer and of course, I thought of you Jen.

2008 Golf Season in Full Swing

This is Jeffery's shot off the 18th Tee at NMSU.
He won the two day tournament.

College Bound!

Jeffery got his first official College Recruit Letter today from the New Mexico State Aggies!

Puppy Love or Really Old Dog Love

I just love this little guy! I was upstairs and Brewster kept barking at me. He does this pretty often when he doesn't feel like walking up the stairs but wants me to come down to play. This day he hadn't been feeling very well and just wanted outside to sit in the sun. I opened the door, he plopped right down on the warm cement and looked at me like, "What? Its a beautiful day! I just want to enjoy the sun for a minute."

I'm sorry Jen. I called Dave to let you guys know that I might not be able to make it. Brewster is just part of the reason, I'm now sure, I'm not going to be able to make it to visit. He's been very sick and just beginning to feel better. I'm still worried about him and want to be sure Nanny won't have a sick dog to care for. I also didn't realize when I booked the trip that it was so close to another trip I have had planned for a couple of months. I feel guilty about being gone from Jeffery and Brewster for so long. I'll have to make it out there soon, just not this weekend. I hope you're as disappointed as I am that I won't get to spend time with you guys and we will have to put off the toes (and nose wax) for another time. Kristin is still coming and is so excited to see everyone. She'll be passing out hugs for me.
