Busy Day Ahead

I am up early because I have alot to do today. First start washing Slicks clothes, cook lunch, clean kitchen, work on Scrap~N~on the River website and cut the grass. Buddy and Slick say I only like cutting the grass on the zero turn so I can play. That is partly true the other is I get a tan by the time I cut 5 acers. Oh, I forgot I have to go take pictures of the 5lots and floating house with a extra long boat ramp on Old River so we post them for sale. I just thank God for the strength to get it ALL done.:) The house belongs to my in-laws and they are not able to keep it up anymore. During fishing season when they where able to live there, they would make money. They have a box at the boat ramp if you wanted to launch at Fair View for $3.00 and you could park your truck on the lots. My father in-law is in a wheel chair and mother in-laws health has declined. I love them both so much. My mother in-law was/is my BFF. It just hurts to see how someone you love so much has problems remembering things. My father in-law & I have a true father daughter relationship. They are on a fixed income and their medications are very expensive. This is another reason we need to sale Fair View boat landing. Anyone interested please email me at frankpamela@bellsouth.net. Please pray for us.

Title: Pocket Full of Cards
Cost: $15.00
Availability: 75
Description:
Pockets are a wonderful thing and not just in paper crafting. Look around you at all the pockets you use or see. There are pockets for displaying things (a silk handkerchief in a man's suit), those that hold things (pant's pockets or wallet), ones for organizing (in a purse or briefcase), a few to hide things in (a child's pockets), others to catch things (pockets on a pool table or baseball glove) and a place or position (football quarterbacks stand in the pocket or in a bowling, the space between the head pin and the next pin behind). You can be in a pocket, put things in a pocket, line one's pockets, or be out of pocket. So how does this related to paper crafting? In much the same ways it does in every day life. Here are a few examples: Use a pocket to hold an item such as a gift card, tag, or note. Use a pocket as an accent or to display something. Hide part of the card in a pocket; show part of the hidden item. Use multiple pockets to sort several things. Place a pocket on a tag, bag or box. In this class, you will learn new techniques for making pockets which can be applied to scrapbook pages or cards. You will receive all the supplies to complete three cards during
the class.

Family

It was so HOT last night. Maecee Bug had a softball game last night at 8pm and it felt like it was 12noon. Cindy called and sent out a text inviting all of us to come watch her play ball. Bug was so shocked to see all of us come watch her. She said "No pressure MeMee". We said just do your best and she did. She got up to bat and made a double. She is the pictcher and done a great job! We are so proud of her. After the game she came to each one of us and thanked us for coming. I love seeing my nieces and nephews together. Slick and I , Graham & Rivers with our new great neice puppy, Karianna was there with Cullen. She said Cullen is a night person because everytime she lays down to go to sleep Cullen wakes up and jumps in her belly all night. We said it is just begining.LOL Family is so important. We might not always get alone but we are FAMILY! Life is to short so be sure to put God first, Family next than everythingelse will fall into place.

Last Sat. my sister Cindy married her best friend. I thank her and Nick for taken care of momma and pawpaw.

Red Cross

As most of you know I am working at the Adams County Red Cross as the Exective Dir. I actully wear many hats. To start with I am the bookkeeper, fundraiser, PR person, messege communitcater for the different classes taught, etc. And in the midest of all this I am on call in case of a disaster. A disaster can be anything from hurricanes, storms, tornadoes, to families being burned out of their homes. So being the RED CROSS is a blessing and a curse at the same time. I love to help people and it hurts me to see them loose everything they have. I try to give encourgement and give them a little hope for tomorrow than I go home and deal with what I have done that day. I go to my garden or flower bed and Thank God that He help me deal with what I had to do that day. Some times I go get on my husbands lawnmower and just ride and cut grass. He says it takes me so long but I am just listening to God talk to me. I believe that God puts you in places to do His work and gives us a brain to make choices. Please pray for me as I try to do the best job I can at the Red Cross and get ready for Scrap~N~on the River. Scrap~N~on the River is right around the corner. It is going to be the best one yet. Moma, Maecee and I cant wait to see everyone. Yes, Slick will be there to keep everyone lauging. He has some things to raffle. He took ceramics this year in college and enjoyed it so much. He has grown up so much this year.

Proud Mother of a Southren Man

I just found out Slick danced at the pageant. I have waited 20yrs to see my boy participate in the pageant but I did not get to see him. He was not prepared to dance but I understand he did a great job according to some people that was there. How this come about is as follows: He went to the pageant with one of his friends to see his friends girlfriend dance. He was dressed as always with jeans, the sleeves cut out of a t-shirt with boots. He was not at all dressed for the occasion but his friends girl choose Slick because the one that was suppose to be picked did not show up. Slick was not going to let a friend be humiliated by not having a partner. He did just what any SOUTHERN MAN would do. He got up and dance with her and had a great time doing it. His grandmother and I are so proud of him because he did not let that young lady down. I hope someone got a picture of him and will send it to me. Things do not always work out just as they are suppose to so don't stress the small stuff.
