Then we arrived at Easley, S.C. to be with David's parents.

The weather was beautiful and we were treated to a cookout. Food tastes so much better when cooked and eaten outside.

We went to Bob Jones University to see the living galary. Real people depict ancient art work and sculpting, making it look 3D. They stood or posed so still that it was hard to tell the difference from real life or art. They had drama in between paintings and sculptures. Very beautifully done, very hard to explain but a must see for sure if you are ever down in Greenville around Easter.

Before the living galary event we had a little time to walk through the art museum there on campus. Ancient paintings from the 1600's. Amazing stuff. It is a special night for the students. We saw many couples dressed up and the ladies carrying bouquets of flowers.

Thanks Mom and Dad Going for giving our family a chance to experience the Living Galary and Museum.

Vacation pics continued...

These purple pine blossoms were so pretty along the trail just across the road from Mother and Daddy's place

Looks like fireworks

Stopped along the trail for a photo op. The pic below is completely untouched by any photo shop program. I really am looking that old. ha

While Mother was at work I set the table for supper. I had so much fun. I decided to use her china plates that belonged to Grandma Evans then I sorted through her kitchen linens in the buffet and chose the yellow placemats and napkins. The tulips were from her bathroom vanity. The pillar candle from the guest room, fresh strawberries and the delightful pedestal bowls that I loved tucked away in a cabinet. She had never put this combination together before. It was very cheery and dressy in the midst of country living. My practical Daddy thought it was sure going to be difficult to drink out of the glasses with napkins in them :-) I fixed baked pork chops, baked potatoes, broccoli w/cheese. Why is it more fun to cook in somebody elses kitchen?

And the relaxation continued.

It's tradition, it's caos and we have the pictures to show you--Spring Break Part 2

Everybody was into decorating eggs this year. Mother had bought 3 different kinds of decorating kits so some were sparkly, some camouflage and the others were tie dye.

Sarah Brooke making hers sparkly

This is Daddy making sure the process was being followed correctly in the midst of everybody being in a hurry to see how they turn out :-)

David, I think they are all the same shape. Just pick one.

Cameron made a patient egg ready for brain surgery

Good times!

Spring Break 2010 Part 1

We headed out for Aiken, SC which would be the first stop on our spring break trip. The weather cooled down at night and then by day it felt great to have the sunshine on your back. My sister has moved her horse onto Mother and Daddy's property so that was a big attraction while we were there. I tried riding the horse but it was more scary than fun because it felt like it would be a long way down if I were to fall. I didn't look as thin as I would have liked either. ha (not sure when that will ever happen) They have created a mini silver dollar city for themselves.

Picture

I'll be showing you more pictures of our time there and the rest of our vacation so be sure to check back soon.

Very happy, very proud....

My in-laws pastor a Bible Methodist church in Easley, S.C. The church people just completed and dedicated the new church building this past Sunday. The picture below is of the pastor's study. When Cameron saw these pictures he said "it looks like the oval office". Dad, we are very happy for your new "work" place.

The new love in my life...

Okay, for any of you out there still practicing the art of ironing your going to feel my affection for the new love in my life.

I have let go of alot of wrinkles this past year but some things just have to be ironed!!! They look better that way. This new sleek, smooth, just right heavy machine is making me very happy.

Now while this new love of my life didn't cost a fortune, the other love of my life is priceless. I like to say he completes me. This is not what modern woman are supposed to think but I'm old fashioned in this way and my man is the better half of who I am. He is the love of my youth and as we grow older I wouldn't change a thing about him. most of the time I love you, David.

The winter without end...

The other day coming home from work the sun was shining through the trees and made them all look like white lace.

Then again yesterday, on our way to church, the sun was out again and it looked like Jack Frost had been a busy boy. It was absolutely beautiful. These same trees that are full of color in the Fall were now all coated in winter white. I was in awe of my Creators handiwork.

All that beauty has a very ugly side though and it can be found at Walmart :-)

And along side our driveway

Winter will end sometime, it just has too. Until then we will have some beautiful moments and some very chilly, ugly ones. That's life here in Indy. It's where my home is. It's where my heart belongs.
