Meet Angie

If you haven't seen my dog, she wanted to say hi in a video blog...

 

Putting Mom to Work!

Good work is hard to find so I flew Mom up to help me out. First she has to pay for her ticket--after all I have to pay my way to work!

Work It!!!

I could not resist this. I also cannot believe I recorded this while I was at work. Sometimes it is just plain boring so I brought in some hula hoops to get my adrenaline going. It's a lot easier than it looks!

Mom says Mother's Day 2013, Be There Or Be Square

Hayle does not like me to put any pictures of her, but here's a couple.  I swear, I think she is so beautiful, which she also hates me to say.  oh well.

Bridget is ALWAYS Ready for a Good Time!

Happy Memorial Day

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. Let's not forget what we are celebrating. Thank you to all the military-past and present who have served so we can be FREE!!

I found these in my camera and it reminded me of "Marilyn"

I Just Had To Change it Up!

I thought a new picture might get people talking. Here we are at Bridget's pool! What an awesome house in an awesome location!

Mother's Day in UK

So if you saw on Facebook, we went to see Comedy of Errors last night. Hayle and I got home at 12:00am and Pete had gone to a rugby game during the day (which Wales won!!) and he got home just before us. Today is Mothers day in the UK, and they are serving me breakfast in bed! Woo Hoo!!! Of course I woke up before Pete and said "Whatever"! I guess I'll make my own breakfast. So he got out of bed and said, 'don't move'! He's been banging away and it smells yummy! (I know he's frying up my potatoes!)

Time for A Change Again

I don't mean to brag, but hey--I won again. I took this picture when I was in Wales and it just happened to fit the category so why not. I did not get 1st place, I got 2nd place for this one in the black and white. I guess I can give Hayle a lot of credit because the judge did compliment her good looks, her pose and her beautiful smile--and then he said the photographer did good. What ever!! 

First Place!!!!

I won first place for this picture last night at camera club. I was really surprised because there were so many awesome entries. I honestly didn't think I stood a chance.

Our Weekend in Jacksonville

We had a great time in Jacksonville. We had two rooms at the LaQuinta (pronounced La keen ta--Mom). Our room had a separate  "middle room" where you see Barb and Linda.

A separate Dining room where you see Kathy enjoying a muffin.

Mom here preparing pizza in our own Kitchen.   But we preferred hanging out on the terrace having a little drink. It's what we do best. 

  

I don't know why the text won't go where I want it to go. Oh, well.

Sex and the city anyone?

Sorry this is completely unrelated to the holidays and family, but I must share my excitement over my celebrity crush that I met last night (divinely beautiful in person)...ignore my ugly mug

She is starring on Broadway right now. She was sensational, so we hung around after to express our adoration.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I thought it was time for a change even though it seems I am abou the only one let posting and/or commenting. I'm sorry I can't be with all my family this year but thrilled that I can spend it with my kids. Christy is so excited about hosting Christmas at her house this year and I am excited to be going to her house. I wish I could be in Florida with the majority of the family but things just don't work out the way you plan, sometimes. I actually have to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and they actually expect us to work New Years Eve, but the builders are going to find a new agent in town who isn't going to accommodate them. I may be fired the beginning of the year and I really don't care. Que sera, sera.

We are so Lucky!

Your Three Words

OK, Everyone, here is a task for you. You've probably seen on GMA or some news programs, the videos of people holding up a sign with three words that sum up their week, their year, their life. Well, I plan on making a video including everyone. I think we can do more than one per person possibly. If you'll be at my house, we can film it there. If you're not, can you send me a video? Or at least a picture of you and your sign. I just saw some on you tube if you're confused, go to youtube and search GMA your 3 words or something like that. Ok, so have a think about yours and send me something, or see you at christmas!!

Kilroy

As I said on Facebook, I went to a quilt show and at the very end, in the back corner was this very small quilt. I almost crapped! Diana couldn't understand why I was so excited and had her take a picture. I mean when you think about it, there were quilts from all over the world; truly amazing quilts that I couldn't even begin to tackle. And then in the very last turn was this very simple, small quilt. It sure did make my day! I sure miss DAD!

Hayle had her phone and computer taken away, she was bored!!

Wake Up People

Where is everyone? I am like Nancy, I get up and go to the blog to see what is going on with the family and I feel like this has become a diary that only me and Nancy share. Occasionally Mom or Kathy chime in. We actually look forward to hearing from the rest of you. Don't think your days are boring until we tell you they are. Tell us about your day and we'll be the judges.

Surely Charlie has some news about NY. And doesn't Brittany work in the fashion industry? I know there is excitement there. She travels all the time. Bridget, you are looking for a house aren't you? Linda just had a new grandson--still waiting for some pictures. Barbara just came back from NYC--HELLO BRAUN FAMILY-- wake up and tell us your stories.

Ok, so today I have a closing and after it is over I have to drive all the way to Cumming to bring the check to my office. Then I am showing homes tonight at 6:45--yuck. That was scheduled by my partner. Then I might try to swing by the camera club meeting. That's what I have planned so far. Yesterday I drove all the way to Blue Ridge to take pictures of the moon with Michael and it began to rain as soon as we got our cameras set up. We never saw the moon. Four hours of driving and no pictures. Oh well.
