Last night we went to Senior Night at E.S. High School.
It was C.'s last home game...like forever. She played great....the rest of the team, not so much! They Lost...Big Time. She wasn't that upset, because LOOK WHO SHOWED UP AT THE GAME....her boyfriend, C!!! He's away at college, so it was a great surprise!

C was introduced at halftime with her parents and all the other seniors.

C is our daughter-in-law's, brother's, girlfriend. We are so proud of her! What a great girl! Much closer than a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend....................

The Big Game!

Here in the Carolinas, we have the best basketball conference...the ACC! It's just a part of us. I love it. March Madness is always around the time of my birthday and I look forward to it every year. Tonight is one of the biggest rivalry games in college basketball...Duke vs. North Carolina. May the best team win....I just hope it's of the DARK blue sort! Go Blue Devils.

Saddest Photo: *My Noman*

Here in North Carolina, we don't get much snow.
When we do get an inch, we make a snowman.
A tiny snowman.
And when it melts, we cry.
With our passy in our mouth.
It's sad.
My precious niece will demonstrate.
How sad is this?

Baby J's 1st Birthday!

Baby J turned one the day after Christmas! I lost all my jpeg pics on my computer when it crashed right after Christmas, so I am just recovering pics from others to share his birthday! J's mom wanted J to have a truck themed birthday. She made a pudding cake in the back of a large, toy dump truck. Baby J's smash cake was a smaller version of the large truck. The pictures speak for themselves. This is one precious baby boy. We love you baby J!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Tomorrow Nanny and Grandaddy celebrate being married. Thank you for being an example to all of us of God's grace in a marriage. We pray that you have many more years together.

Everybody loves Nanny and G'daddy!
Happy Anniversary!

Monogram

Don't you just love a monogram? I guess I am a true southern gal when it comes to monogramming! If it has a letter on it, I love it! My daughter, G, just got a monogram machine. I can't wait for her to teach herself to monogram. We may be all *lettered up* from head to toe!

Of course, the cuter the baby, the better the monogram!

My niece, M

My grandaughter, EC

What Does Your Daughter-In-Law Do When You Ask Her To Help You With Your Blog?

I'm Just Saying...........

My Little Gift Wrap Corner!!!

So........I copied the little gift wrap corner on this blog:http://sippycupsareforchardonnay.blogspot.com/ (Her post on Dec. 1)
She has a larger space than I do, but all in all I am so pleased with the results! I had a little corner in my garage with a table already there. My hubby added the peg board and drilled holes in unfinished shelves for dowels to hang the ribbon on. My jars came from WalMart and presto.....I can't wait to wrap a gift!! My sister, A.B. will LOVE this. She loves a container and an organized space!!! What do you think?????????? Click on the pictures for a better view! Still need to cover the table top.....but, it's almost done....and I love it!!

I Can't Take My Cards Down!!!

I can't part with my cards. Can't. Do. It. So, for now, they'll stay strung in my kitchen. If you sent me a picture card, you'll be prayed for. I'm starting at the top row, and each day one family will be prayed for. I'll work my way around until I'm done. All 35 of you....and then I'll take them down. Or, maybe I won't!!
