1950's Kitchen

The kitchen....before the remodel.....updated kitchen pics...soon to come!!

A House is a Hobby

It seems as if I never have enough to do, I always tend to find more projects for myself as soon as one ends. The wedding was my last project and now the new house will probably be my project for the rest of my life. I love my house, but my goodness it is hard work.

Painting, arranging furniture, hanging pictures, redoing floors, yardwork, cleaning up after remodeling, hanging window treatments...does the list end? the answer.....of course not.

I am blessed with a husband who is quite a handyman so many things we have done ourselves.

Another blessing is having a father with a painting company ( Brian and I have realized we are not painters...I did not inherit the painting gene from my father).

It would be quite nice if we had an uncle who was a plumber, but that is not the case.

9 Delta Girls and an Indian Reservation

Every year some friends and I take a long road trip to the Indian reservation in Choctaw, MS...every year it is a new adventure!! We had some seasoned water parkers this year and some new comers on the trip.

The trips begins as I venture to Vaughn, MS to meet Reed and Dana at Reed's home.....well listening to Dana's directions probably was not the best idea....needless to say I took the scenic route to Reed's. The rest of the crew left from Belzoni in a different vehicle.

9 Delta girls finally arrive at Geyser Falls water park, yes we are all close to thirty but still that little child waiting outside the water park as giddy as always still lives in all of us.

Needless to say there are a few family reunions in town and they have taken over the water park. We stake out the perfect spot on the beach and we baste ourselves with sunscreen and tanning oil. What a day!!

We have a great time....but always a little drama ( i lost my credit card and my ID - but was later found)

Later we had dinner, did some gambling and dancing.
Dancing turned into an all night event - and the morning ended with breakfast at the Bistro 24 with some molded bread, bad service, and rude waiters.

All in all it was an adventurous trip, but worth every minute when traveled with friends.

Weight Loss

Weight loss is so hard.....but it makes you feel so much better about yourself.
Brian and I have been dieting and exercising extremely hard these past few weeks....and it has paid off. Over about 24 weeks Brian has lost 47 pounds and I have lost 38...on our way to skinny so to say.
Brian has not had ice cream ( and those of you who know him know this is a great challenge for him) in several weeks...tonight we will treat ourselves!
