Spring 2009 - Garden Overhaul

After the long and brutal winter, some things in the garden had to be dug up and replaced. but the good news is... the things that didn't make it were things I did not care for... ugly bushes that existed when we bought the house. So this was an opportunity to plant new things in the garden! Take a stroll through my garden by clicking on any of the photos below or

Austin's School Jogathon - 5th Grade

Austin's last jogathon at James Monroe Elementary school. Each year all the kids run laps for an hour to raise money for much needed items for the school. I volunteered to help out Ms. Qualey with her class. Click on the photo below to view the photo/video album....

Happy Birthday Dad, I miss you!!!

Thinking of you today, dad... on what would have been your 79th birthday.

And as I float along this ocean,
I can feel you like a notion that
won't seem to let me go.
Cause when I look to the sky,
something tells me you're
here with me...
And you make everything alright.
And when I feel like I'm lost,
something tells me you're
here with me,
And I can always find my way
when you are here.



Thanks for finding a way to let us know that you are here with us. Your spirit is so comforting and I am certain you are our guardian angel.

Love,

Julie
