Snow Pictures -m 2011

Snow? how deep

Will it snow? big question - from my side I'm looking for lots of snow _ I love snow - as long as we can keep warm and dry - No I have not been to grocery store for milk and eggs - I would not cook them unless girls and Brent were here to help Papaw eat them - I will make some soup of some kind - Bill is getting prepared for the snow - gettings latern ready in case power goes off - he has his small truck - ready with sand in back and mud tires of rear so we can ride in snow - yes I'm a little crazy when it snows . I like to get out in snow but not ice - Life would be perfect if Brend and ASh and Charlie and "M" were here to play in snow . Looks like B'ham may get more snow than North Alabama - maybe we need to go stay with Ash. (just kidding Ash)-
As for th Howell household we have been ok had wonderful holidays - always love to have family with us- On another things I am so thankful to have "M" back in Auburn after her trip - I think this is only the beginning of mission trips - Maybe after tomorrow I will be able to post pictures of snow (with my new camera) . B etter run for now and go grocery chopping - hope later we can blog about lots of snow

Cold weather is here

Well looks like we are in for some cold mornings - 29 degree for Saturday morning - great morning for a yard sale - all I can say is we will freeze our buns off - all for a good cause - People I must be really dedicated or crazy one to do this - Also I can't believe that at 6:15 on a cool morning I am awake - should be curled up in bed - I hope that all have a wonderful Friday - I am going to be busy today cleaning house - I have plans for deep cleaning master bedroon (if I can get help to take bed down) we will see-

Trouble

I am so glad to report that Trouble is getting back to normal - she actually barked today - first in two weeks - she has been really sick - She is back to eating and begging for human food so that lets me know she is much better - Hope everyone is enjoying this rain - We have our first fundraiser Saturday for our American Cancer relay team - -- We always have a yard sale and we are about a week behind our date - always in October when it is warm --High for Saturday is 59 - Just think of us out in cold working for a great cause

We have several fundraisers planned for the remainder of year - we will be selling chances on Tv . Just hope we do well on our projects - all donations are appreciated--

WE have some good pictures of our bike trip , we were in 10 different states in 10 days. - we rode about 2200 Miles - We were with Larry and Marcia - we were good sports to ride this far with the men and not grip and complain - It was so pretty you forgot that you were tired -
When I get things back in right places I will post pictures

After months of not blogging , here I am to report we are still alive - we just got home today - we had a two weeks camping trip to the Smokey Mtn. aread - we has a good time except Trouble got sick while we were there and I was ready to bring her home to her vet. Thankfully the lady at the campground office recommended a vet that would see her - after checking with Dr. Steve ( her local vet) we took her to vet - she has a cold , allergies, fever and runny nose - We are going to take her in tomorrow to Dr. Steve - She still doesn't feel well - We also took a motorcycle trip Oct. 8 - 14 th. We rode up thru Ky, West Va., Va, Maryland, Pa. - Larry really liked our visit to Gettysburg, - - He is a history buff and loves this - We saw some beautiful country - I liked the Allegenies - We visited Mt. Airy - (home of Andy Griffith) North Carolina , back thru the Highlands and Helen , Ga. It was a good trip but I was ready to be home (2 nights ) before heading out again . I must stay put - get house ready for the holidays, and Christmas shopping done.
One of the highlights of camping was having my gran dog spend some time with us. - - He had a good time - loved walking (3 rounds a day) in the campground.
WE have another grandog that we have not met yet - we have pictures - maybe over the holidays we will see her (nora)

This is my garden that surprised us in the front flower bed. Ashley calls me redneck, but I love it! We'll see who's making fun when I'm eating my tasty watermelons :)
