Close out January

Well, January is almost over. It has been a few weeks since I posted any pictures and it will be awhile before I have any new photos.

There isn't anything very exciting going on. I truly think that the pictures are more exciting than just my thoughts.

Just wanted everyone to know that things are good. I've been busy with work. I've been busy with exercising and hanging out with friends. I'm helping with the dinner theater at school. That will be three nights a week, after school each night from now until the end of April.

Hope all is well. Love you!

Happy New Year

New Years Eve was a fun night. Tracy, Justin, Carrie and I went out for "Dinner and Darts." We had a lot of fun--although I lost a new earring. :( We then came back to my place for Carrie's dip and Regis in Dick Clarke's place. It was relaxing.

New Years Day was also fun. Carrie and I rode 21 miles in 40 degree weather on our bicycles! I loved it! It felt so good to be doing something that was good for me!

Happy New Year! Here's to health!

Visit with the Blystone/Ewert Family

On December 27, along with Tracy and my parents, I traveled to the metropolis of Shelocta, PA to visit John and Stacy Ewert and her parents, the Blystones. I hadn't been there since high school, but things were the same. These are people who I've known for many years, from Camp Lambec.

John and Stacy currently live in California. Tracy and I spent many days with them in June when we visited CA.

We had a hearty dinner of bear chili, veggies and (of course) cheeseball. OH, there was my mom's famous tunneled out angel food cake. John ate half of it, I think! ;)

Then, we visited and played a rousing game of "Battle of the Sexes." Poor John, his teammates were very little help.

It was a very nice visit. I was sad that it was so short.

10 year High School Reunion

In November, I went to my 10 year high school reunion. I really didn't want to go, but couldn't come up with a good excuse to miss it. I'm really glad that I went. I took only a few pictures, but these are the best!

with Mike and Timmy---we had our picture (actually video) taken on the first day of school 

These girls were my friends in high school--these are their husbands. 

Happy New Year

Today, I rode 21 miles around Hermitage, PA. It was about 40 degrees and there was some definite wind. It was fun and I'm so glad to start out the year by doing something healthy!

These are Grandma's pictures.....we picked them up from Walmart and haven't delivered them yet. Some are from Thanksgiving (I'm in red) and some are from Christmas (I'm in burgandy and purple--depending on which Christmas). These are the pictures where heads aren't cut off. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving, Mary Alice and Dillon. Aren't we cute? He's my cousin's step-son. 

Here is Grandma on the floor---she'll be MAD when she sees this! Tee hee. 

Here is Grandma with Jay's son, Casey and Eric's step-son Dillon.
