This was in todays newspaper! I have had so much fun with Robert's birthday! He is a true sweetheart of a man ..and deserves as much lovin as I can give.

Happy Birthday Robert

Today my dear hubby turned 40 years old. We had a deer roast for him this past weekend to celebrate ...it was fun. Thanks to Ron....for all the work he did to help get it going ...I don't think there would have been a celebration without him.

Robert is under the weather today ....he has too many allergies to count...and I am sure he digested something that was on the "do not eat" list.

Anyhow ....just wanted to shout out a blog and tell Robert HAPPY BIRTHDAY .....and that I love him with all my heart and soul.

Here are the picture from the deer roast. CLICK HERE for the slide show.

Brittany is SEVENTEEN today!

I can't believe it! Brittany is seventeen years old today ....WOW ...am I ever getting old. It was also picture day at school today.

We are so very proud of her!

Happy Birthday to out beautiful daughter Brittany

Apples Apples ...Everywhere!

Over the past weekend Robert and I drove to Romney, WV to get deer apples. Here is a video of all the apples we have in our garage.

My Hunter Hubby!!

Way to go Robert!!!! Today was the opening day of bow season in West Virginia. I am so happy to report that my hubby harvested a nice 8 point late afternoon from his deer stand. The deep had once been a 9 point but looks like was was broken off. Robert got his with a double lung shot and the deer didn't travel very far before it fell.

We put the four wheeler to good use for the first time for hunting. We towed him back to the garage.

As most of you know, Robert has not hunted for two years because of the time he had to spend with me and my medical issues. It warmed my heart so much to see him put on his camo and head out to the tree stand. He looked so handsome all geared up.

If I have my way this deer is going to be pepperoni stuffed with hot pepper cheese. Here is a video I got of him afterwards.

Way to go hubby!! I love you!

Springs Festival 2007

Last Friday on 10/5/07 my sister Terri, Brittany, my mom and myself went to the Springs Festival in Springs Pa. We had a fantastic time ...and are wanting to go back next year.

Terri sacrificed much cherished sleeping hours in order to pull it off. It really meant a lot to me that she went.

This was the first year that we have all gone together ..and it is my fourth year of being there the first Friday in October.

The weather was beautiful ..and the homemade bread was the best yet. I took them to my secret pumpkin patch that I found last years. All pumpkins are $1.00

Most of our money was spent at Pine Accents (which moved miles down the road) and Country Charms.

The Springs Festival is one of my favorite trips I take ...I didn't think I was going to go this year for a few reasons ....but I am so glad I did.

Lots of love to Brittany, Terri and Sandi for making this a great day!

Tuesday Tidbits

With each day I am feeling better. I am still taking it easy ...at least for this week. I will probably try to get into a little more next week as far as house chores. It will feel good to be something other than a lump on a log.

I have been working with Ron getting Robert's 40 birthday bash organized at Ron's deer roast. Something tells me we are going to have one kickin of a great time! Robert never reads my blog ...so my secrets are safe here. *lol*

I am looking forward to going to the Springs Festival on Friday. I didn't think I was going to get to go this year .....but things have been moving along well ...so I am going to give it a shot. I am excited as ever to get up there and get some homemade bread.

As most of you know I have been doing a lot of "spiritual" reading over the past six months or so. All the reading as let me to becoming members in both Astara and the AMORC. I really feel like I have been divinely led down this path for a reason ....so away I go. From what I understand I will have several years of studying weekly lessons to complete all the levels of degrees on both organizations.

I have been wanting to start up another podcast. I registered one. But, now I am reconsidering if I will have enough time to do one ...and to do it right.

I helped Brittany push through a project at the last minute last night ...it was fun, but I am glad we got it done.

Robert has maintained the average he has been wanting so far this year. As I mentioned in my blog last Tuesday he felt as though we wasn't going to bowl well ....but he did. We go to New Mexico in May for the USBC Nationals.

Mine and Roberts prayers go out to Dee and her family at this time of crisis. She was supposed to go with me Friday ...but I don't think that is looking good. Lots of love and prayers to her mom for a speedy recovery. I hope she gets out of the hospital soon. I know all to well what kind od pain she is suffering.

Roki still has an ear infection that we are working with. He hasn't been himself these past two days.
