The "old pros"
The beginner
What newcomer couldn't use a few pointers from on old hand?
Okay, so that's how they learn those things!
Announcing !
Wow, I can't believe it's been two weeks since I stopped long enough to write something here! Now that school is back in full swing (for Abi), extra-curricular activities follow right behind. For the girls it's ballet. For Justin, it's football. This is Emi and Abi's second year and their now in ballet/tap. Now Lizzie joins them and is in pre-ballet.
Don't worry Justin, we'll get your pictures this weekend!

Remembering a great friend.
Terry Michael Schneider - August 6, 1944 to May 14, 2008.
Today is August 6.
A lot of things have happened on this day in history. In 1890, Cy Young pitched and won his 1st major league baseball game. In 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, helping speed an end to WWII.
I've read about those things, but on August 6, 1944, Terry Michael Schneider was born in Knox County, Tennessee and many years later became my friend. Terry was one of those people who seemed to know something about almost everything. But not in a know-it-all kind of way. He just knew a lot! It was amazing how he could remember just about any bit of trivia. So much so that we joked about him being a "cornucopia of useless knowledge".
In this stream we call life, there are people who flow through and then move out of our lives. Once and awhile, there are those people who "lodge" in our lives and stay around. I am blessed that Terry was one of those who lodged in my life. We had many "excellent adventures" together. And I learned much from him.
I know that even now, he is there in heaven collecting tidbits of information that he will share with us once we are reunited in that glorious place!
I miss you, my friend, and look forward to the day when we meet again in that place where separation never comes, and we can spend eternity worshiping the One who died for all.

It's been a while........
I know, I said I'd try to be better at this stuff. I'm not sure have that I have that much to say that's worth hearing (reading). But, hey, that never stopped the politicians or the talking heads on the TV.
Theres lots going on really. We went camping this weekend (okay, RVing) and though it was VERY hot, we had a lot of fun with our friends Danny, Dawn, and Joni. I only left the campground (state park type) once, for the obligatory Walmart run. I don't think I've ever been camping when we didn't make that run.
Then, we spent most of the night on Monday night at the ER at Piedmont hospital just to have them tell us the ultrasound and CT scan were "inconclusive". Tell Donna that after she's had to have not one, but two (TWO) shots of morphine for the pain! And she got to drink TWO bottles of the "contrast" stuff to prep for the CT scan (yum yum). Must have been the night of twos-two shots, two procedures, and two bottles of yuk. We finally get home after all this at 2:30 AM (another 2)! Not any one's idea of a fun night.
On Tuesday (yesterday) she spent 2+ hours (did I say 2?) waiting to see the gastrointerologist (?). And today she gets to do one of her favorite (not!) things, an MRI.
Me? I'm here with the three little "princesses" who have recently developed an acute case of the "whines". They're not too bad, really. I've worked with some folks that whine much more and over sillier things! Not you, David, Gene, or Kim....well maybe Kim :).

June Camping Trip
We took all the grand kids and Austin (a friend) camping in June and had a blast!
Lots of good outdoor fun and even smores.

Emi's giggly moment.
Lizzie's smore event. She ate the most (as almost always).
Justin and his "crispee".
Abi's having fun!
Austin with the bow and arrow he made!
Welcome to our new web home
Welcome to our new home on the web. I've tried for several years to have a web site and keep it updated. Doesn't work (at least not for me). Even now that site is at least a year and a half out of date. That's why you've been redirected here. Just too hard to find the time to do.
My hope is that on this new place, I'll be more efficient at letting everyone know what's going on with our family. We'll see.
Check back often for what's happening with us.
From time to time, I'll also share why I believe there's "more to this life"!
