Sunday night crash

Glenn was taking Jade over to her friend's house on Sunday night. They were gone for about 10 minutes when Jade called me in hysterics. I couldn't understand a word she was saying. Finally, Glenn yelled through the phone for me to come because they were in a car accident.

Thank goodness no one was hurt.

My dog....



This is Maddie....our little beagle. She will be a year old in August.









This is Maddie with her toy we got for her while we were on vacation. She loves it!

Lab Rat..........

I went through a screening process here at our local university and guess what???

I am going to be a Lab rat for 6 months. It's a diet and exercise study.

On my way to bed right now....but I will post more later to let you all know what I will be doing.

Time flies.....I can't believe it's nearly August already!!

Hope all is well in the blogging world...I hope to get caught up with everyone this weekend.

June 22, 2009

Couldn't come up with a catchy title...so I just used the date.

I am just now finishing up beginner's obedience and agility training with my beagle. We have one more class left. Then I think it's on to novice classes. They introduced agility this evening and Maddie seems to be picking up on it quite well. It will be a while before I can enter her in any shows or anything like that.

So, Jade's done with school--finally!! They just got done last Wednesday.

We are heading off on vacation next week. I am taking Jade to her family reunion in Virginia Beach, VA....this will be our first time there---to Virginia Beach and to the family reunion. We usually hang out at Rehoboth and Dewey in Delaware. We do have plans to stop there either on the way to or on the way back from Virginia. Should be an interesting time---haven't seen any of that family since Jade's dad passed away nearly 3 years ago.

I am getting ready to go to bed...now that school is out I can get up and get to work super early---stay late and leave early on Fridays!! I love it!

Summer is upon us

Time certainy flies by. I am lucky to get a post in every now and then. Mostly I just don't have the time like I used to or I will sit here and type an entire post and blogger gives me an error message. Sometimes I have to ask myself "Is it worth it?"

School is almost done for the year....my baby will go to high school in the fall. We'll be leaving in about 3 weeks to go to her family reunion---that should be quite the event. Don't worry---will have lots of pics.

Jade's got a big secret---she doesn't really want anyone to know---but I am going to spill the beans. She was accepted as a state finalist in a teen pageant. However, we are looking for sponsors--and need $440 by Monday to hold her spot. If we don't get it---then so be it. I've already hit the pavement here in our town with no luck.

My sister was in an auto accident a few weeks ago. She dropped her husband off at work and then was going home--she blacked out and crashed into a parked truck. Thank goodness she was OK and did not hit anyone!!!

Maddie was to the vet yesterday. She was spayed. She is doing ok for the moment. She goes back in about 8 to 10 days to get her stitches removed.

Gotta go get ready for work!

Kickin' off the summer!

Whoa!! I can't believe it's Memorial Day weekend already!!

My town is having a huge celebration like they always do....they claim that it's the "birthplace" of Memorial Day. But then again, I am sure there are many other places who lay claim to the same thing. There's a big parade today and then lots of stuff going on this Monday.

Summer is going to be really busy for us. We'll be going on vacation in about 5 weeks. We're going to Jade's family reunion in Virginia Beach. I am kind of excited to go.

Jade's been busy with riding and school. Counting down the final days of school---but they go until June 17th!!! She's got a horse s
