I don't like to wish my time away, but I am ready for March and Spring-time. The calendar says Spring comes in March! Although February only has 28 days, it has felt looong since we have had so many bone chilling frigid days and a good amount of snow. We feel like we are stuck in the arctic tundra! So, Sunday I will be more than ready to turn my calendar! <br />

I remember the year Bradley was born, March 17, 2000, the crocus were blooming the day I came home from the hospital. The hope of Spring-time is on the horizon!Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-75660115430425997952011-12-26T11:32:00.000-08:002011-12-26T13:04:30.026-08:00BARB'S 2011 CHRISTMAS COOKIE EXCHANGE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXcVdH1JWgG0hTUaclJglDgkY_OHrew6jDgoT26JD4XhI7NlYlYPweG9S00its5iFYLIzwSsAE3EqTXa2OEWob9FdNp40zU15tSmtjqXzDxGBA8Ox-SC880ZV-pp-AiLdRRvy8zueB8lhe/s1600/GEDC0370.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690539568350027970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXcVdH1JWgG0hTUaclJglDgkY_OHrew6jDgoT26JD4XhI7NlYlYPweG9S00its5iFYLIzwSsAE3EqTXa2OEWob9FdNp40zU15tSmtjqXzDxGBA8Ox-SC880ZV-pp-AiLdRRvy8zueB8lhe/s400/GEDC0370.JPG" /></a><br /><em>I </em>held my 4th annual Christmas Cookie Exchange on December<br />20, 2011.

Bradley is in the 3rd grade and his 3rd/4th grade classroom had a Breakfast Cafe. Each student chose a different breakfast food or beverage. Bradley chose <span style="color:#ff0000;">Strawberry Jam</span>. That was an easy choice for him since mama makes strawberry jam every year. We went and bought strawberries and with minimal help from mom, he made 16 half-pints of DELICIOUS <span style="color:#ff0000;">strawberry jam</span>. He took them to school and gave out samples on toast. YUM.</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">Victor's experiment was on Parachutes. He tested different shapes and materials to see which parachute would have the best descent. He thought up the idea on his own and ran with it and did a great job. He was able to go to the shop where Bear works, <span style="color:#3333ff;">Progressive Dairy,</span> and launch his parachutes from a loft about 20 feet high. What <em>FUN</em>! </span></div></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-39905142666825619932009-01-29T12:24:00.001-08:002009-01-29T12:36:39.642-08:00let it snow ~ let it snow ~ let it snow<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR27P0XIuoaXbfWWnG111tgeg5blPUzu8B9l5T6n-lVOSYzV6Q_PSQXCc-ylRJeKG0bFhrJa-JqAXQ66U9r07lhtYq1Ij-wFehfU5MZb8unZ5KV0dsbYH-0Ngb86Rzn1HzKjvA1142Og0/s1600-h/101_1890.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296814846081843506" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR27P0XIuoaXbfWWnG111tgeg5blPUzu8B9l5T6n-lVOSYzV6Q_PSQXCc-ylRJeKG0bFhrJa-JqAXQ66U9r07lhtYq1Ij-wFehfU5MZb8unZ5KV0dsbYH-0Ngb86Rzn1HzKjvA1142Og0/s400/101_1890.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">2 snow days in a row.

The pure white snow is so refreshing. It reminds me of how Jesus takes a life of black ugly sin and washes it <em>WHITER</em> than snow.<br /><br />Saturday we got a nice snowfall. The boys had a birthday party to attend at 1:00, so afterwards they got together with several friends and went <span style="color:#336666;">sled riding</span> on the girls dorm hill. They were more happy than two bunnies in a lettuce patch! Their cheeks were rosy and they were frozen to the bone, but they were chatty & delighted! I helped them get out of all their cold, wet clothes and sent them off to a hot shower while PJ's & blankets warmed in the dryer for when they got out.<br /><br />Monday after school found them sledding on the neighbor's hill. Charlotte lives right next door and has a nice hill to sled on. (Unfortunately we do not have a nice hill to sled on!!) Then again Tuesday they went sledding at Charlotte's again. Not sure if they will get to go today since the temperatures are much lower today. It was 3 degrees this morning @ 8. Now @ 10 it is 14 degrees with the sun. But I was able to get some nice pictures of them sledding on Tuesday. My philosophy is "It's winter, so <span style="color:#cc33cc;">'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow'</span> "!Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-15221869924599767702009-01-04T16:30:00.000-08:002009-01-04T16:30:00.708-08:00OUR CHRISTMAS 2008<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>"The best made plans of mice and men"</em> fell through for our Christmas plans. My mom & dad were to come out the 23rd (our Victor's birthday) and stay for several days. However, mom started having real bad trouble with her left eye and the doctor had to put a full eye patch on the eye and she could not see to drive. Dad has not been able to see well enough to drive for quit a long time, so they were not able to come out as originally planned. We debated going there or driving down to get them. But mom was in a lot of pain and miserable as can be so we opted to leave them alone so she could heal! We ended up having a very quiet Christmas Day here at our <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Homestead</span>.</span><br /><br />David had a few days off work over the holidays so we slipped out of Salem Friday morning (26th) and headed South along the river and went to <em><span style="color:#999999;">Cabela's</span></em> in Wheeling, West Virginia. Seems like this time of year always finds us there. Last year we went on New Year's Eve. We all thoroughly enjoy the trip and the store there. We always pack a picnic lunch and take a break from shopping and have a picnic in the car. <em>Really</em> a fun day. The boys are really into<span style="color:#00cccc;"> tomahawk throwing, fishing, pellet gun shooting, & slingshot shooting,</span> so it seems like each time we go, there are more departments of interest to cover!!! The boys favorite remains ~~~ <strong>The Shooting Gallery</strong>. There you will find laser shotguns and laser targets which equals a TON of fun.<br /><br />Saturday January 3rd we went to our niece's house for Christmas/New Year's on David's side of the family. Emmy and her husband Richard Miller welcomed everyone to their place in town. Those able to be there were <span style="color:#ff0000;">David's sister Lynn, her son Marty and Marty's brother-in-law Lance.</span> Marty's wife, Jen, unfortunately had to work and we really missed her a lot. An unexpected guest was a "forever friend" <span style="color:#009900;">Willis Montgomery and his wife Charla</span>. We had not seem them in ever so long and they were able to come visit for several hours. What a treat to listen to Will, David & Lynn reminisce about "the good ole days"!</span> </div><blockquote></blockquote>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-52373728958333610902009-01-04T14:39:00.001-08:002009-01-04T14:39:19.991-08:00<div><embed src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3314649325747652651&site=widget-2b.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:400px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325747652651&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p1/3314649325747652651/bb_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325747652651&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p2/3314649325747652651/bb_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3314649325747652651&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p4/3314649325747652651/bb_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-63517673955917013412009-01-04T13:58:00.000-08:002009-01-04T14:05:06.946-08:00<div><embed src="http://widget-a2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3530822107861432226&site=widget-a2.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107861432226&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a2.slide.com/p1/3530822107861432226/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107861432226&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a2.slide.com/p2/3530822107861432226/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107861432226&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a2.slide.com/p4/3530822107861432226/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-19176700423576149052009-01-04T13:56:00.000-08:002009-01-04T13:57:43.541-08:00<div><embed src="http://widget-65.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3458764513823503461&site=widget-65.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513823503461&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-65.slide.com/p1/3458764513823503461/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513823503461&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-65.slide.com/p2/3458764513823503461/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513823503461&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-65.slide.com/p4/3458764513823503461/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258829019097861629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070408988814356042.post-22346894312311453562009-01-04T13:31:00.000-08:002009-01-04T13:45:56.139-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif60a8G8UpcVfrTyCR4O2qFbBy4V7kLNeht_-dOfiptOsCgw7refs0-0w-YaxQDaq4titYvOgUfRXu9WKWp_KYLy8ywhV9FhH9tBiiEtgTHIgQL-oPbl5mA35kVV9DsR-FKw_0Eh6MQi5y/s1600-h/101_0150.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287558067603800258" style="WIDTH: 320px;
