My Sister's back is famous







My sister and her good friend Kimberly, attended the "Southern Ladies" magazine event in Birmingham, Alabama. They are pictured talking to the Editor of the magazine. How cool is that!? Julie recognized her purse and coat.
She ( or at least her purse and coat), is famous. Kim looks great too. Go girl's!!
Can I have your autograph?

Girl Scout Cookies Yummy

Well.
This morning ,i spent 2 hours unloading about 2,000 cases of girl Scout cookies off an 18-wheeler truck with about 40 other leaders . It was FREEZING!!! Man, the things you do for those little cookies.
Now I have 502 boxes in my garage.
They are so delicious, we can barely get them out of the car before everyone comes running.
I sold them for 7 years as well as my sister. It is fun seeing Sydney selling them too.

DO a good turn daily!!

We have just returned from a wonderful week with 5 other christian families. It is our 4th year getting together for fun and fellowship. There is nothing better than being with great friends for a week and doing something everyone loves as much as skiing. It is the hardest thing we love to do.

Thank you Machemehl's, McMinn's, Dutton's, Brock's, &Brooke's
for a wonderful winter vacation .

Winter has blown in

Winter has definitely blown into Peachtree City. It is freezing down here, but is supposed to get up to 65 by the end of the week. Everyone has a cold and it doesn't seem to be letting up.
We are getting geared up for our church ski trip . We head to Copper Mt. Colorado for fun in the snow. My hubby is such a fantastic skier, I could watch him all day long. He just glides down those slopes making it look effortless, but those of you skiers who ski like molasses, like me, looks can be decieving can't they?

We stay in a FABULOUS home on the slopes. Forget the skiing, I just like to sit in the house by the fire and drink my coffee.

There is nothing so beautiful in God's creation as looking to the majestic Rocky Mountains and being so high you feel even with them.
