Dad's Cross in Dahlonega

For those who don't know it, Kathy bought a cross for Dad up in Dahlonega and every Memorial Day, Veteran Day, 4th of July they place the cross out on the roads through and around the city. Here's Dad's this year.

Prayers needed

Hey guys,

Stephen's dad is in the hospital. They think he may have had a stroke. We'll know more soon. But in the meantime, please pray for him and the whole Hayes family.

Thanks.

Halloween 09

Anyone interested in booking a room on our next cruise?? We booked a 7 day out of Ft. Laud. the week after Easter (April 10) on the biggest ship on the planet, Royal Caribbean Oasis of the seas. It's maiden voyage is Dec 1st. It holds 6,000 people!!!! Go to vacationstogo.com and look it up, if you call, use our guy. Come on, it would be a BLAST!!!

Prayer Request

I am asking everyone to prayer for John's brother's daughter. She is the one that was born with health problems and apparently she has swine flu and they are not sure if she will make it. Her name is Britney Lesh.

Thanks

Disney Paris

Well, we needed another post change.  So Disney was SOO much fun!!  Is anyone thinking of coming over here in the next year??  I've been to more places this year and would love to show you around!!  Shakespeare's birthplace, Disneyland Paris, our town center is opening a massive new shopping mall in October, of course London, we have Oakwood theme park one hour away, Cornwall a beach town in England.  So Disney was really, really cool.  It's smaller but the cool part is we walked from our hotel to both parks and 'Disney Village' which is like Downtown Disney.  So you walk everywhere, easily.  And the parks are the same, but different.  And it really makes you want to learn another language!! I'm going to look into that again.  One more time on Italian.  But Pete said he'd try it with me, so it would make it easier to practice.  So, in the picture, Hayle is pulling Pluto's tail.  In our hotel room, we went to a VIP lounge for breakfast every morning, literally across the hall from our room, and character would join us.  

Me in 2-D

So just an interesting FYI...

A friend of mine is an art director. He has been involved in some Cartoon Network cartoons like Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo. Anyway, he just started work on a new show, and asked me to come in and have my face drawn for a character!

So I will be famous soon enough. Expect that I stop calling/blogging/caring about you all soon.

Here's a link to what the show's about. I'm not sure there's an official title yet, but it might be "Duchess" or "Archer"

No telling when it airs. I know my character is going to be poisoned. I had to have my picture taken making gagging faces and pretending to throw up in my mouth. He said that they'll probably use my face for other stuff to. I basically signed away the rights to my likeness so I don't have one anymore. And it may not look like me when it airs (he mentioned I could be blonde with warts). BUT for some reason, I'm still flattered. I should have my 2-D image tomorrow to show you all. Fun.

Hayle

Ok, Hayle is really growing up!!  You all know she started babysitting, opened a bank account, carries a debit card to access her bank account and makes her deposits, checks her balance and transfers money from savings and the debit part.  Well NOW, she was dying to spend money today!  She transferred money from savings so she could spend some.  We stopped at a local spa, and she had her eyebrows waxed!!  Really, it was a little 'tidy up'.  Not much taken off, but she was so cute!  Then we walked over to the Aveda salon, where she discussed some options and made an appointment for Monday for some highlights.  On to the drug store where she picked up some make up items.  She left feeling 'very pretty'.  Just what a girl needs!!  Yeah Day!

What was the best part of your weekend??

Ok, I wish everyone would post more!  I miss you all, and want to hear more about your lives!!  So, just for fun, tell me what was the best part of your weekend, or of yesterday??

For me, it was the unexpected walk to the pier, stopping for a beer/wine and enjoying the sunshine!  It's so rare here.  Then Pete made me a most delicious sandwaich for dinner, yummy!

Kilroy & Maw

Not sure how many of you know that I've started a little endeavor with a friend of mine, Sarah Watts. She's an amazing illustrator who shares with me a love of gig poster artwork. So we've started contacting bands and making posters. We collaborate on design, she illustrates, and then I've been screenprinting them. So far we've been doing really well, and I just wanted to share with the fam some of our work. You might not know the bands (mostly indie names), but the artwork is pretty regardless.

The name of our business is Kilroy & Maw. Kilroy is a reference to grandpa. Remember how he used to always leave notes all over that said, "Kilroy was here" ? Granted, it's a saying that has history and pop culture reference (this wiki article about it was interesting to me and added a bit more meaning). Maw is a reference to Sarah's grandma.

We've only done 3 posters so far, but we have more in the works. Pretty soon we will have a website up (thank you Christy!), but in the meantime here is our etsy site:

Thanks for checking us out!
