I spent the last 4 days “back home” in Kentucky.  We had a family reunion up at Greenbo Lake Lodge. It was the first get together we’d had since my grandmother died last December. It was nice to see everyone and nice to be home in “good weather”.  Jackson and his mom went too! I also had the distinct honor of playing in Ashland’s Central Park with my grandson. I played there so many times as a small child. We went to Hill family reunions there with my Mamaw Cantrell. It was a amazing.  I also met long lost family members. I am still mulling over all that ..


And one more thing .. enough with the stormy weather.  It is storming again for the nth day in a row. And an earthquake just happened and … a hurricane is coming.  WTH?


So, we saw the movie Cowboys and Aliens this past weekend. Yes, we have been seeing a lot of movies lately. Especially since the movie theater nearest us now serves beer. And it is cool inside.

Anyway  - what I remember about Cowboys and Aliens is that Daniel Craig had on VERY tight pants and leather chaps. He was shown from behind a lot. And when they weren’t showing his bum, they were showing his gorgeous blue eyes.  All in all, it was an entertaining movie. Cowboys, aliens, Indians, robbers, mean ole cattle rancher and just mayhem. I rather liked the move.


So .. we are going on a cruise May 2012. Turkey, Greece, Greek Islands, Croatia, and Venice, Italy.

Besides comfortable shoes, I dunno what to bring.  I think I want to work on getting in shape, too. I want to take some of the “walking tours” up and down and around some of the old cities.

So ..reason number 293 to get back into shape …

I am going to make a walking plan. Then I will worry about what to pack!


Loved them both. LOVED them. I really liked that the narration was from Abileen’s POV.  But I just loved this movie.


Jackson is TWO years old. That is a big boy! Happy Birthday Jackson!


Cause I sure am … a lot .. and there are pictures!


Meeting my brother and family over in Orlando for a super dinner tomorrow nite.


Jackson walks!

nook bought!  LOVE IT!

I loved following World Cup Soccer this year. Holland got sooooooo close. Hup Holland Hup. Love you anyway.

Stieg Larsson Millennium Trilogy is AWESOME!  Read books, saw first film.

Jackson walks!

2x Vegas so far this year. Vegas ROCKS!  This last time, we stayed at Planet Hollywood with a fabulous view of the strip.

Work is great — challenging, interesting and all the things you’d want.

Hubs is still the best. Nuff said.

The pool is so relaxing.

Still no winning lottery ticket, but hey .. life goes on.

We are going to The Netherlands over the New Year holiday. Woo hoo.


We had FUN in Vegas. We saw The Beatles Love at The Mirage. What a great show that was. I lost some $$ at the slot machines, but STILL managed to have a great time with our friends. But ..when I got home, I came down with bronchitis or something. I actually went to the doctor…. I am starting to get better, I think.

I hope I am well enough to see Jackson tomorrow. The doctor says I am contagious. *sniffles*
