Snow again this morning!

This is me coming back from walking the dogs this morning!  Snow Again!!  It's crazy!  It is NEVER like this here!  The kids are all so excited.  I'm not sending Hayle to school again.  I made her go the other day, and an hour later they closed and I had to go get her.  So she has a friend over and now I'm making soup.  This morning I had another low blood sugar drama.  Hayle and Pete told me I got up 30 minutes before I realized I was up!!  Hayle told me all these things I was saying and doing and I remember NONE of it!! Scarey!

Happy Birthday Grandma

KOOZA

Check this out! The girls bought tickets for me and John to go to KOOZA. If you have never been to a Cirque Du Soleil, you need to go. It is amazing. Make sure you watch the whole video.

New Hope

This is in New Hope only about 8 miles from Bridget's. The yellow restaurant is right on the Delaware. This is a really cute town.

3rd Place

I just had to change the blog. This is the picture (Bucks County Playhouse) I won 3rd place with at the camera club Thursday night. Believe it or not it beat these two pictures. I don't know how, but it did.

Wild Thing

This is old, but I just came across it and thought everyone who has not seen it would enjoy it. I've seen it many times and I still enjoyed it.

Obama's Inaugural Parade

J.P. Taravella High's Marching Trojans win coveted spot in Obama's inaugural parade. Ethan is my nephew. He is the son of my brother Tim. How cool is that. You can click on the title of this post and it will take you to the story. I think he has been on the news down there.

Breast Cancer month 2009

I need your help everyone. Ok, I met with the girls at the cancer charity. They asked if I could help them plan an event for Breast Cancer Awareness month next October. Of course I said I'd love to! They will host a dinner at a resort nearby. That's all they have, so she said it's kind of like a blank slate. She was thinking having a fashion show?? So just thinking and surfing the web, I had a few little ideas, they are: Sell Pink T-Shirts, have bra-fit clinics, have make-ups tips like 'how to do smoky eyes' (asking Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown MAC, etc to come and do for free), have a girl do free Indian Head massage or neck & shoulder massage, the fashion show. So I need more and better ideas, and a 'theme'. I was thinking 'Busted'! But don't really know how to make that apply??? Anyway, please help!!!

While in Atlanta

Tony and I had a lot of fun in Atlanta. Well, I had a lot of fun. Tony gets bored easily. Here are some of the pictures I took. I swear I take the same pictures every time I go down there and I am still amused by it.

Munich

So here is a little of our trip to Munich. We went to the Hofbrauhouse where we had a beer. They are BIG beers. We finished it and Hayle ended up being in charge of the band as you can see. Then Hayle and I thought it would be a good idea to go up on the stage for a picture. You can't see, but the WHOLE band was drinking those big beers the whole time too. Then the girl at the end of our table wanted to get out. Instead of sliding down, she climbed over. It was alot of fun!! We did alot more, but that's these pictures.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

May you all have the most wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving. I will be cooking for my awesome husband and Charlie. Gerry is in Panama City celebrating with Jada"s family. We will be having turkey, mashed potatoes, rutabagas, gravy, stuffing, broccolli casserole, corn, cranberry sauce and of course pumpkin pie with cool whip. We are thankful to be able to have such a wonderful meal, a wonderful family and so many, many other things. Gerry and Jada are in the process of buying a house, the closing date is Dec 30th but we hope to close by the 15th. I have put some pictures on flickr. It is a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house, with a living room, formal dining room, a huge eat in kitchen and family room down stairs. The masterbedroom is ridiculous, the master suite takes up one side of the upstairs and three other bedrooms and a bath take up the other side. There is a sitting room in the master that I could fit my living room in and a huge walk-in closet. There is also a media room upstairs. I wouldn't want to have to clean that house. Thankfully it is a small yard something Gerry should be able to manage. So the kids should be pretty busy until the end of the year. Charlie is working at Kennesaw and working on his masters. There seems one crazy thing after another is always happening on campus. My wonderful husband is back at the Lost Mountain store and the store manager there just gushs over him constantly. The customers are so glad he is back. (of course he is the best) Let's see, that leaves me, I have been busy showing the kids houses and getting them under contract, volunteering at church and the farm, oh yeah and me and Gerry are taking David Ramsey's Financial Peace University, hope we get some good information. Well that just about sums it up for the Georgia Braun's. Enjoy each other and don't eat to much at one time.

OMG You Won't Believe This!

This morning when I got up I put my phone in my pocket and went to the bathroom--just another day. As I flushed, I dropped my phone in the toilet. OMG, OMG, OMG! I had to put my hand in the toilet and fish it out. Yuck, yuck, yuck! I managed to get the sim card and put in another phone.
It reminds me of the time Nancy . . . Oh, I better not say. Never mind

Look, Even the Cat will stand for a Snack

A Favorite Childhood Memory

ok, just a topic I thought I'd throw out there. So this isn't a funny one, but share whatever you like.
Sometimes this thought just springs into my mind. I was less than 5 years old, and we lived in that house before Carolina Ave. Can't remember the name, but I can remember all the older kids were going off to school, and I was standing at the screen door waving to them. Then Mom was putting me down for a nap. And I didn't want to go, but she said she'd lay down with me. She did. But when I woke up she wasn't there. I figured it out on my own, that she didn't really stay with me. (duh?) But I was really little. It's like the only memory from when I was that young. Ok, I have more, but does anyone have any they want to share???
