GREAT MOVIE!!!

Today our office went to the movies.  It was a fund raiser for a disease that elephants get called EEHV.  In the fair and circus industry there is a company called Have Trunk...Will Travel and they own some of the elephants that are the children of Rosie the elephant that was featured in this movie.  I am NOT an animal lover and definitely NOT an elephant lover, but this movie is a must see.  I loved it and so did most of my co-workers.  Reese Witherspoon is one of my favorites and I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of Robert Pattinson.  Go see this WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I think you will like it....

My Children are a BLESSING

I had visitors last week and I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend with Jordan and Kristine.  It is always such a treat when my kids come to visit.  I miss having family around. I am excited that I get to see them again in two weeks!

Megan and her family are getting ready for Easter next week.  The Jack & Lincoln had parties at school and even Coleman got to be part of the fun! (not sure why some of the pictures are small and some are big!)

Erin has been rooting for the Orioles and rescuing stray dogs!

Shauna has been painting and spending her birthday with Megan at the play Wicked...

As for me.... I have just been working and watching TV!   So grateful to have childen and grandchildren!!

New TV!!!

I was able to watch General Conference today on my new (used) TV. It is much bigger than my old one and I really am enjoying it! It is not a fancy flat screen but it works for me!  I painted an old coffee table I had out in the garage black and it works perfectly as a stand.  My old entertainment center is now in my bedroom and it looks great in there.  New things (even if they are used) make me happy....
