Here's another one

Thanksgiving was once again a huge success. Turkey was cooked and eaten. Dressing and all the sides were prepared and consumed more than one time, and I got my stretchy pants out. There was much coming and going by many people before we gathered together to eat some bird. Of course I have pictures to post, but I have to get them all together. And school has started back and we got our Christmas tree and my house is in flux due to decorating and and and.....I have so much to do that I can't possibly have time to do it all.

For now, here's one more old phone photo finds post. Because we all know when I get an idea, I have to beat it to death. Hence another old phone photo find post. I still haven't found some really old pictures that I remember having, but have no idea what happened to them. Gadzooks! Where could they be? I don't know but I shall continue searching through files and files of pictures until I find them or exhaust all my looking. 


Here's hoping! 



Another great photo of the Billie June.
I don't hate this.
Addy stoically sitting in the foreground, Cammie in the back.
Addy with her bounty from Petsmart. 
On another trip to the pet store, Addy was sniffing so as to choose her food. OK, that's not really true. BUT! That's what it looks like. And I believe Whitney would believe it.
One of my fav pictures of Caitlin taken at Mt. Vernon on their trip to DC. Love it. 
This is an example of my people driving me crazy. What Olivia is trying to prove in this picture is that the jacket is too tight for her when she does that. But I contend that I've never seen any of my people....or any people for that matter....walk like this while wearing a jacket. So therefore this argument is RIDICULOUS!!
After seeing this picture of John, apparently I married a twelve year old. He's holding a cute Caitlin. And if that's Carlie, then the two of them have been communicating since they were babies.  
Always worth a repost. I love this photo!
This was taken at Olivia's high school graduation party. A year from May she will graduate again, this time from college. Cannot believe that. 
Another grad party pic. Love.
This was from a Dallas trip the girls and Grandma took a few years ago. They had a blast together. 
Same trip, enjoying some refreshment. 
No autographs please. 
I took this photo at the pumpkin patch in Corsicana. It's one of my million favorite pics. 
Addy waiting to eat the mailman, or for someone to come home. And if you need an ice cream freezer, I can't spare one. 
Love this picture of the yard. That's Dottie next to the pool. That dog can still slay me. Sigh......
Just plain beautiful.
Another super favorite photo. That's Lindsey and Carlie. 
Sweetness hanging with Big Frank. 
John took this way back in the day and even though I've posted it before, it's worth another.
OMG. Grasses in Corsicana....doesn't get better than this. 
This is from a trip to purchase our Christmas tree at Royal Feed and Seed on the day after Thanksgiving. Owen is a teeny boy here. He's not any more. He's a hairy legged, truck driving 17 year old. How is that possible? 
Stephanie took this photo and I love it so much. 
This photo is ridiculous. Just how far did I need to stand away from them in order to take the photo? If you get a magnifying glass, you'll see it's Maggie, Emma and Olivia way back there. 


I'm now so tired I have to go to bed. 

 Party on Wayne...

More old phone photo finds

Well people, I've sort of hit another blogging wall, and it's a real struggle to bang out even one post. I don't feel the need. Lately, I've been on the go much more than usual, and when I've been home, I've not been motivated to blog at all. It's a problem. I have few ideas, little incentive and life's blah with no real funny stuff happening. In fact, it's been the exact opposite. But here I am again, trying to make something happen. Let's see if anything turns out good. I have no confidence it will. 

In honor of duck hunting season beginning, I'm posting a pic of Lauren's "kill" from last year. In case you don't know the story, she went hunting with the boys and when Austin told her to pick a target and practice shooting at it, unbeknownst to him, she chose a decoy. She then proceeded to nail it. The direct hit caused the decoy to succumb to its injuries, and it sunk like a stone. Well done Lauren. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. 
When dogs start drinking out of glasses, we've gone a bridge too far. 
This picture is ancient. Back in the day, peeps would come and we'd pile air mattresses and blankets in the den and watch movies. It was so much fun. And since I was a little girl, with two older brothers, I've witnessed many wrestling matches between boys during commercials. It's like a universal code or something. 
A youngster Owen back in the day as well.  
Addy the Russian immigrant. 

Addy the pup.  
Olivia took this picture of Addy. This was just before she was to give a motivational speech. Can't you just tell she's gaining inspiration from the world around her?
Float....
Like a butterfly....
Sting like a bee.
A new strange drawing on this board appeared daily while we were at the beach.
A parcel arrived one day and this was in it for Owen. 
This was at El Grande in Dallas on last year's girls trip. It's Christmas gone wild. 
There comes a point in one's life when zip up footie pajamas is not the way to go.
Great food at this Dallas drive-in, but you may be subjected to shirtless old guys standing nearby drinking  beer. And I'm not even kidding. Ewww. 
Emma being proposed to by Ace the Warhawk mascot. It didn't work out.
Beach bound but getting in a little reading before hitting the sand. I think William has checked out. 
A lighthouse somewhere in America as seen by Lindsey.
It's so strange that I found this on my phone due to the fact that he just burned to a crisp. I feel certain this was sent by Becky while at the state fair. 
Speechless.
Emma finds the strangest people on campus.
Austin sent me this picture of his catch at the beach!
Candy corn in candy corn.
This game did not end well, and almost caused Olivia to altercate with a stranger. OLIVIA!
Texie getting in some church time.
Maisy, daughter of Texie Mex, the almost human dog.
Caitlin and Big Frank at her graduation party. Sweetness. And it was freezing cold on this Spring night.
One of my all time favorite photos in life. Olivia and Owen at the ULM alumni center. That building in the background was blown up to make room for new and prettier construction. It was a good decision. 
Family pic that same night.
Wedding day! Waiting to go to the chapel!
Wedding day! Already been to the chapel!
Bouncy Maya.
Adorableness. Maggie and Emma at the pool.
Adorableness Emma and Maggie in Corsicana.
Daisy and Maggie.
Carlie, Mollie and Caitlin back in the day at the beach.
Before Bill could see the dress. TOP SECRET!
Embarrassed Christmas dogs.
Texas at the ballpark, maybe just spotted a ball to chase down.
Gorgeous beach sunset photo taken by Olivia.
I adore this photo of Olivia taken by Carlie.
And this one of Emma.
Road tripping for Addy looks so rough.
Billie June's Christmas tree from a few years ago.
Hmmmm, something's not right.
Attitude? Maybe....
Carlie's crunched car, but no injuries. 
This photo is old. Love it.
Last trip to Corsicana produced this new favorite. Love!
Addy pup back in the day.
Ellie the librarian.
Some photos will come back to haunt you.
Addy's first night at home after her adoption, she looked a little too stiff here, but she was alive!

And there you have installment 2 of old phone photos finds.

Just a few thoughts before I go to the last ULM football home game...

Hopefully they will pull out the win!

Thanksgiving holidays rock!

CANNOT believe Thanksgiving is in 4 days!

CANNOT believe we will be getting our Christmas tree in 5 days!

Peace out and GO WARHAWKS!!!
