The nose KNOWS

Spring is here for sure. Who needs that darn old groundhog, just follow me around to know when it's spring time. ah... Ah...AH...CHOO. The weather warms up, birds begin to serenade us into our day and the flower make there appearance, along with the weeds. Who could resist a warm beautiful day outside weeding, soaking in the vitamin D, smelling the flowers, and enjoying life. I can't at least not that first day. But day two I can't make it more then a few feet from the tissue box. Thank goodness those things can go outside with me. Since I don't have a grassy back yard Missy and I are going to have a huge garden back there. She said she wants to plan a million tomato plants but I think I might just talk her down to 20 or so. We are going to plant all the ingredient for salsa, then we want some corn and a pumpkin patch. My brother suggested watermelon. Why not, I have nothing better to do with all that back yard. I can't wait to post picture of our progress. So stay tuned. Oh and if you live near by and need tomatoes please don't go to the store, stop by here and get them for free. Missy is very persuasive she might get her million.

The 100 year old Bible (at least)

I have decided to make it my mission to return this bible to it's rightful family. Years ago, about 1983 or 1984 ish time frame, my family acquired this bible. Legally mind you, but it's not a very interesting story so I will skip it. Anyway upon it's arrival my sisters and I were interested in it and opened it up to look through it's very old pages. I realized that it not only was once someone else's bible but that is was a precious heirloom. This bible contains hair clippings from some ones first hair cut, lots of births deaths and marriages are recorded in it's pages along with news paper clippings. I figure this blog would be a good start to begin. I will be posting this post about once a month or so with different titles so that maybe some day someone surfing the web looking for their heritage will stumble across one of my postings. I will gladly hand this bible over to the family. Although I do have to mention that this thing is HUGE and if it needs to be mailed I may need to ask for shipping cost, I estimate it to come to $25+ dollars at least.

Family names in bible:
This was presented to a Mr. George Fred Hale by his mother Mrs. Annie Hale
Other names that appear William W. Hale a civil war vet. who died in 1910. My guess is this would be George's father. Then there is a McLean family mentions with death dates in the mid and late 1800's and my guess is this would be Mrs. Annie Hales parents.

The deaths and burials of these people were Prince Edward Island and Dorchester, Massachusetts. The bible was acquired in California near Fontana.

I pray that the rightful owner shows up someday so I may return this heirloom. I have no idea what to do with it if no one ever clams it. Also I am up for suggestions on how I can get this more public so it can be found.

Tyson

When I started to babysit I realize how easy it would be to blog all day long about this cutie pie. But I decided not to because it wouldn't be right. I would be taking away from him momma and it would take away from my kids. But toddlers give you so much to talk about and laugh about. Not that my kids aren't funny it's just well they are mostly funny in there words not in there actions which is more difficult to blog.
Well the other day Tyson just did something that cracked me up so much Jeremy heard me laughing from the shower. So I asked his momma permission to share and she said yes. I had my Wii fit out and he had got one of the Wii motes stood on the Wii fit and knew exactly what to do. Now not only do I use mine as much as I remember but I know his parents also have one. I thought oh I have got to take a picture so I got up and got the camera. By the time I got back he was done. I told him "oh but I wanted to take a picture of you" so he got right back on through his arms up in the air and yelled "CHEESE". That is when I lost it.

April Fool's

Jessica really wanted to get her brother and father in an April Fool's joke. Her rules were not hurting anyone and no making food taste yucky. She got an idea from the Disney channel to switch the cereals to different cereal boxes, i.e. the Trix cereal was put into the Lucky Charms box and vise versa. This morning both kids arived to the counter at the same time and Jessica patiently waited for her Brian to choose his cereal. When he did he became confused and Jessica's tiny morning voice said "April Fools". Brian just smiled that ' you got me' smile and went about with his breakfast. She counldn't see her dad's reaction because she had to go to school but I was getting ready to take a quick shower when I here "Why is the Lucky Charms in the Trix box" in a very accusing tone. I told him "Oh yeah, Jessica told me to tell you April Fools" I could tell he was proud of her behind his smirky look. I also know my husband well and Jessica watch out dad is going to be thinking all day long how to get back at you.
