Normal Days of our Lives

I can't remember if I posted pictures about one of my trees getting struck my lightening and falling or not, but this is the result. I was able to get some guys from church to come and cut the tree down and a few more. The crazy thing about it was that it stormed that night too and they still worked out in the storm. After the rain stopped mom, Amy (my neighbor) and myself worked on taking the scrub up to the street for pick up. This was the day before the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, so we did some crazy things. Such as, doing a relay, carrying the torch and even a bridal bouquet. It really opened up the space in the back yard and I very happy. I do not understand why the guys thought they needed to help, I could have handled a chain saw right???


While the trees were coming down, Dad and David fixed the screen that was taken down by Lauren. No I can barbecue without being eaten alive by the bugs.

This is what I got today when I showed up at one of my kids houses. My schedule is changing as of next week because of the new center opening. I will be there five days a week, so I had to give up all my outreach kids. Bryce happens to be my favorite kid to see, especially since I see him two times a week.

This is a wonderful family to work with, they do everything that I ask, and I know that when I leave, mom continues to work on his goals. They even gave me these delicious cookies for my birthday.

Not Enough Hours in a Day

Okay, so the pictures did not load right, so the weekends are all mixed up. So allow me to explain what you are seeing.

This is the table where General Lee surrender to General Grant. This house was chosen because they were the wealthiest in the area.

This is the end of the stagecoach line and also where the final salute took place. The story is that the confederate arms, after surrendering, the began their long walk home. As they passed by the Union army, the soldiers stood and saluted the confederates as they passed. The Confederate soldiers then stopped and saluted the Union armies.

After a long day, Justin and I were exhausted.

The weekend prior, we went to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.

Back to Appomattox, Josh that it would be good to shoot us down.

Here is the beginning to the stage coach road. I just love the fence line.

Here is the outside of the McLean House, where the surrender was.

So that has been my last few crazy weekends. Sorry that the pictures are all messed up. On other news, I heard from the furniture company, after I kept calling them, and they are replacing my bed. They told me that it was being shipped from California, so now I just have to wait for them to call me to deliver again.
