It's snowing!!

Well we are getting our first snow of the season here although it is not sticking very much. It is so pretty to see it coming down. We were up at my Grandparents last week for my birthday and it snowed a little bit. I just told Dan the other day that I was ready to put the Christmas tree up. He just laughed.

I am coordinating my cousins wedding in Dec. so we have been busy with that. There is still much to do but it is all coming together. Well not much else here for now. Take care and God Bless.

Sarah Palin Rally

We went to see Sarah Palin in Beaver, PA last night. I had never been to any kind of rally before so it was cool. We went with Hansel and Danae Young and Tom and Rachel Sanders. We started out about 15 feet back and when it was all over we were about 5 feet back. It was so awesome. We had a great time even though we had to stand for 4 hours. Our feet were killing us by the time we got back. It was well worth it. So GO John and Sarah GO!!!!!

Day at the Zoo

On Sat. we met the Myers family at the Pittsburgh Zoo. We had a great time and the animals were pretty active. Thanks for the great day and fun picnic.

These Rinos can tip over Jeeps if given the chance. I'll look from a distance.

The king of the zoo watching over everything.

LET's go for a run. Look at me everyone.

Better start slowing down. I think that is what my ears are for.

Got to get a drink after all that exercise.

Okay mommy I will be good now.

Showing off my muscles.

Please take my picture this is the best I can do.

Give me another apple and no one gets hurt. (They were throwing him fruit)

Someone splattered my nose with white paint. (not really I am a spectacled bear.)

Hurry catch him he got out of the polar bear cage!!! (Oh that's just Dan)

How did they all get out of the zoo? no that is the Myers and Dan and I.

Fall is coming around our house

This tree turns long before our other ones so if I want a picture I have to get it right away. It loses its leaves just a few days after they turn.

This flower is in our yard. I have never seen one like this grow in our yard. The size of the flower is actually this big. It almost looks like a sunflower but I am not sure.

Fun Evening

My Cousin Abby and her fiance Bud came over on Tues. evening. We had fun playing games and visiting. I will be coordinating their wedding in Dec. Here are a few pictures.

Busy week

There was two revivals in our area this week so we kept busy going to those. Thankfully I was able to make it. It seemed that when it got closer to the service times God would give me a touch so I could go. Bro. Mark Lemon was one of the evangelists and Bro. Ken Thompson was the other. It was good to hear both of them preach and get to visit with them some.

Well hope you all have a wonderful Lord's Day. May God bless you all.

Wind Storm 2008

Just like a lot of other people in Ohio and PA we were affected by a severe wind storm from the remnants of Hurricane Ike. They said the highest gust around here was 79mph. We lost our power about 8pm on Sunday night. Around 12:30am Dan looked outside and saw our neighbor on his roof trying to cover up lost shingles. He ran over there to help him and I followed not far behind. I stayed over with his wife while Dan and Melvin checked around our house. The pictures are what they saw. We got our power back about 11:00am Monday and were very thankful. With the help of our great neighbors were able to get everything repaired and cleaned up.

Remembering 9/11

May we always remember September 11, 2001 and those who lost loved ones at the WTC, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, PA Flight 93. Our hearts go out to them and as Americans we too share in the tragedy of that day.







God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Our 2nd Anniversary

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Aug 11. It has been a wonderful two years. Hardly seems possible to be 2 years. We were tired after camp so we decided to wait to do anything for our anniv. So we waited a week and went on Dan's Birthday which was the 19th. We got a cabin room in Holmes County OH. Here are some pics.

Our room in the Cabin. It was separated into three so three different people could rent it.

The whole cabin

Happy 25th Birthday Dan. We took a bike ride.

The bike trail. it is old railroad tracks paved. We went about 10 miles.
