Beep Beep.....Beep Beep....

This is the sound that I heard constantly today while at work...every time the wind would blow the doorwould blow open & it would beep beep....and I have to tell you that this happened at least every minute or less. The problem is that this usually means that there is a customer...so I wore my self out checking to be sure it was the wind!!! It even made this noise when the power was off...I actually was surprised by a customer who came in while I had my back to the door! Oh well, WE NEED THE RAIN, unfortunately for me we usually have wind with our rain!!!
BEEP BEEP!!!!!!

Our Great Sunday Adventure!!!

Our friends, Carolyn & Louie visited us today at our church and we wanted to go to lunch with them afterwards...but they had other ideas!!!

We did go to lunch, but in Burney!!! We had yummy burgers in The slightly snowy town of Burney and then Louie (he actually calls himself 'Crazy Louie' !) gave us the choice of directions we could go...since I had no idea, Les chose and we drove over some very snowy roads and we went past Lake Britton, the really pretty dam, down some Very snowy roads and saw some beautiful creeks (Louie says they are great fishing spots) We went past a sign for Highway 89, Hambone & Julia Glover Flat...I am sure you know exactly the place I am talking about! Haven't we all been to Hambone???

Somehow, I mean we ended up in McCloud and enjoyed driving around and seeing how buried in snow the houses etc are! It truely is a winter wonderland...I was so happy that I didn't have to get out and get cold ! We had a nice time getting to know Carolyn and Louie better as we drove. We finished our adventure by going to the Grand Buffet in Redding. This was a first for Les and I and it was pretty good! They dropped us off at our car in the Safeway parking lot and I was surprised to see that it was about 8 pm when we got home!!! It was a very fun day! Thanks for the Adventure Louie and Caroline!!! It was great!!!

A New Title...

I have many titles...Mom, Wife, Daughter,Grandma, Sister, Friend, Pastors Wife...you get the idea! Tonight I added a new and exciting title to the list...Anderson City Planning Commissioner!!! I never really thought that this would be a title that would be one that I would hold even though I have had a lot of interest in the planning of Anderson for many years!

When the door opened I felt very good about stepping through it. The guy in the picture with me is James Yarbrough, he is the City Councilman who nominated me for the position. I have known James for several years and I feel very honored that he has felt that this was something I was qualified to do. I will have the position as long he is a Councilman. At least until 2012. This is probably a perfect time to start on the Planning Commission because there is not a huge amount of projects being started in the city. I will have a chance to start out slowly and as the economy improves the projects will roll in and it will be so exciting to get to be a part of it! I actually will be going to Sacramento this weekend to a training seminar...

Let the adventure begin!!!!

THE deal of the day!!!!

Yesterday Kim shared a great deal of the day...a table of books at Barnes and Nobles for $2!!!

Well, I decided that I wanted to check this deal out and headed over there this morning (armed with my gift card and my list of books I have read!) I was ready to buy some books!!! Well, when I got there I couldn't find the $2 table anywhere because there were 3 tables that were marked $1 each for only 3 days...so I texted Kim to make sure I had understood her correctly and when she heard she came right over!!! We ended up choosing 32 books!!!!! AND we ended up paying only 90 cents each because of a discount card!!! We were very happy girls walking out of that store with our 4 bags of books!!!!!! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Collin is a climber!!!

You know how kids love to climb? Well Collin has learned how to climb up on chairs and tables and gosh he is always on top of something!!!

He even defys gravity!!!

Time...

Okay so this is what happened last night with my blog...I wanted to write about how I feel like time is going so fast that I don't seem to be able to keep up...but after writing the blog twice and feeling like I was just whining I decided to skip it...and after deleting the 2nd one I signed out...and didn't realize that I had not deleted the title!!!! Thanks Matt for filling in for me, it was actually what I was feeling but couldn't write!!! From now on YOU can write my blog for me!!!
I got 4 responses from just a title!!! Not too bad!!!
Well it is Sunday again and the race will begin again tomorrow!!! Hope I win!!!
