The Help

Who says good help is hard to find? I made seventy-five birthday favor for a 70th Birthday Party. Henry was so graceous to assist his wife on the eve of the project deadline. He may not admit it but I think he enjoys assisting me with large request. He's a great packer. Check out how he neatly lined up the candles. He may complain about me going to Michaels but guess who makes sures the Michaels and Joann coupons don't make it to the Recycle Bin :)



B.J.'s ER Visit

We had to take B.J. to the ER on Saturday afternoon. The little doggy was so sick. He wouldn't eat, lick, chew, bark nor did his little ears perk-up when the word "walk" was mentioned ..all are tale tell signs that Mr. B's not feeling well. He began to mope Friday evening, we just thought he was exhausted from the heat. He cried so Friday night that Henry got up twice to see about him. Saturday morning we didn't get our normal "I gotta go potty bark". Harrington noticed he had vomit when he checked on him Saturday morning. He just laid  out of the floor all morning and slept. He still wouldn't eat or drink. After two more throw-ups and one on me it was time to seek medical attention.

The little guy was so dehydrated the Doc had  to inject fluids into him. They didn't know exactly what was wrong with him without taking x-rays.$$$$.  Knowing  BJ he probably ate something  he shouldn't have and it upset his stomach. After some medication, a good night's sleep, and some  tender loving care, BJ was back to running, jumping, licking, barking, and EATING Sunday afternoon.

1st Day of School-Sophmore Year

Packing lunch

Happy for school to begin today, yeah right, Who am I  kidding...The excitement was more for his new outfit and seeing  his buddies. With all the excitment one would think he would have riden the bus on the first day .. Oh! No! He had to have Henry take him. His first day of sophmore year was so awesome he took the wrong bus home.  :)

Harrington had a busy summer with summer school, weight training, vacations, and football camp. It won't be long before I'll be posting photos of his senior year. checkout last year lst day of school.

Cheerleaders for Christ

Two weeks ago I spent a couple of hours with a great group of girls. I was asked to create a craft for the cheerleaders at church. The director had seen cheerleader flip flops online and thought they would be cute and fun for the cheerleaders to make. This really was a simple and easy project for the girls. The simple part was  made possible because my dear hubby help me cut 6 yards of fabric into 1x3 inch strips. Henry even helped me shop for the flip flops. We were able to find the shoes 75% off at Joann's . Henry was  right there helping me dig in the bins to find the needed sizes. Henry and Harrington even helped me organized and package the project for each of the girls. By the end of the evening that were tired of sorting and counting  fabric strips, folding plastic baggies, and folllowing my numerous instructions :)  I made it through another request because my two very special men always come to aid a Sista, even if she's a little meticulous . Its all good .

Disappearing Act II

Sadly another family pet has vanished into  thin air. Our pet Betta, Blue has disappeared or was he fishnapped.  He was discovered missing last evening when Henry made a home visit to clean his house.
I admit it has been a while since we did a home visit. We made sure BJ was cared for while we were on vacation recently, but we failed get  Blue a sitter.
Henry and I went out last night to get a replacement before Harrington returns from football camp.
Our new betta July,  appears to be enjoying his new larger home.  We'll be sure  to visit  July often.

Remembering Mother

A digital scrapbook page I recently created of my grandmother Florence Crowe Goree.
I can still hear the following words of my dear grandmother:

• If the Lord says the same, I"ll see yall tomorrow"
• Call me when yall get home, Don't yall forget, YOU hear me.
• "Sho-Nuff"!
• ...And Remember Mother Loves You
• Be quiet! you scaring the fish
• Get on outside, under that shade tree

Thanks for the memories.

Father's Day

 My Daddy.. Not sure when this picture was taken of my twin sister and I with our dear daddy. As I was looking at these old photos I notice several of us in Daddy's arms. I immediately thought of how blessed we are to know we are safe in our Heavenly and Earthly Father's Arms.

Camp Plug and Play

Posting this cool animation(along right side) I created at tech workshop today. What a cool reminder for Harrington from B.J.  I'm sure Harrington hasn't walked the dog since I've been away this week. I'm sure B will be so excited to see me on Friday.
