Global Warming?

I would like to thank Al Gore for the awareness he has brought to the world about global warming. We awakened this morning to find snow!! My sinuses would also like to thank you as well.

I come to you... with open arms

Are there any Journey fans out there?

I now know I am not from Ohio

The girls have started learning about their next state for school - Ohio. It was a random selection, so I have started looking up info for school other that what we got from the library. I ran across this and it is safe to say I know I am not from Ohio. Enjoy!

What.. Do my ears deceive me?

Got home last night and we knew no one was getting voted off AI last night. So I didn't really want to see the giving back. I am glad they are, but I just want to see rich stars asking for money. So, hubby and I were watching other things when we flipped over to fox to watch the news when we heard ...." Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing..." WHAT - OH MY GOODNESS!! How fabulous. I heard they took out Jesus' name, but still it is out there. The Lord's name is out there! Could you image the impact that show could have for Jesus? If you caught Jason Castro's performance a couple of weeks was "Travelin" which actually mentions Jesus. I was thinking - maybe Mandisa had a great impact while she was there.

Did anyone else here this?

Spreading Conservatism

Hubby and I got take a lovely trip to Boston this past weekend thanks to Northwest and Mom! When we knew we had to use our tickets we were trying to decide between Miami, Boston, and a few other locales. I wanted Miami because it is WARM, but we chose Boston because it was closer and our time would not be used up in the air.

It was a lovely trip except for the rain on Friday. Since it was raining we decided to put our rental car to good use. It was a fabulous car that we will never own unless it is very used. Thanks for the free upgrade Enterprise! We walked around Boston on our first day and then the rainy day we drove to Cape Cod. We had planned to go to Martha's Vineyard, but found out the lifestyle of people on the island and decided that we didn't care to see all that. Second option, Nantucket, but no - too much to put that car on the ferry. So, we drove to the tip of the cape. We tried to see the Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport, but were afraid to be attacked by some rogue family member. Seeing these seaside villages was very neat and to know some of these homes have been around for a LONG time. It was pretty cool seeing the Cape rainy and foggy.

Many of you may be wondering about the food - New England Clam Chowder - #1 - I may never be able to eat it at Red Lobster's again. Fresh crab cake - Mmmm Good!

Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Listen Here Sunday

Hannah can be heard here at www.woub.org on the streaming am station from 4 - 6 p.m. EST.

I bet they all wish they had theirs too...

Today was the exciting day at the WOUB television and radio stations in Athens. If you trying to listen to her today sorry, but I think it is going to be on Sunday. Once production is done we will receive a copy of the radio broadcast and a dvd of the animated book. She did a great job. If you do happen to hear the broadcast, sorry I can't shake the southern accent. Both girls were well behaved and had a great time. The station did a great job recognizing the talent, but next time too many kids in small room. Thankfully it was only 2nd and 3rd graders.

Here are a few pics from the day


Don't all news people have peanut butter with the news.

Here is Hannah reading her story on the radio. Great job and very eloquent.

Please notice the little girl in front of the green screen. I thought her outfit went very well with the green. Great job - one take!(almost)

Here is the producer of this lovely production. ALOT of buttons to push, and thankfully I was able to keep dear hubby away from them.

Later peeps!
