Boy, such a flurry of events have been whirling around me and my kin lately!
An American Visit
Friday I chaperoned Jessie’s class field trip to American Village in Montevallo. Even with the bad weather coming through (tornadoes and rain galore, yuck!), we still had a very good time. And I tell ya, I really wish I had visited American Village when I was Jessie’s age … I think I would have looked at history a whole LOT differently!
I’ve suggested to Jim that we head down there one weekend for one of their events or sometime in the summer when the weather is a little more accommodating! :)
Despite the bad weather and dampened spirits (my Lord, I’ve never seen so many pouty faces in one place! LOL!), I did manage to snap off a few shots:
The Home Front
We had our first interested party view the house last week. Friday night, to be exact. Our realtor called this weekend to let us know that they liked the layout and wanted to come back and see it again. So this weekend we busted some tail and cleaned and painted the entire bottom level. Jessie hasn’t packed a whole lot because she’s with her mother more these days, so we’ll get around to finishing her room last.
I’m trying not to get TOO excited, but I can’t help but want to get my hopes up! :)
We still haven’t gotten an answer yet on whether or not we got the loan on the new house. More paperwork was needed and faxed off last week. I’m hoping we hear something this week.
OMG … snow? In the South?!
Yes, it snowed here. We received between 3 and 4 inches here. Some parts of Birmingham received up to 7 inches!!! :shock_tb:
Jessie was at her mother’s, so I’m sure she had a good ole time in it. :) I did manage to get a few shots of the pretty white stuff before the other neighborhood kids ran amok and transformed it all to dirty snowballs and lumpy stick-wielding snowmen. :lol:
Pass the Halls!
Either it’s the irritants in the cleaners, the paint fumes, or being out in the rain all day Friday (or a combination of all three), but I have been sick all weekend and feel generally like death warmed over today. I traipsed in to work to discover that my machine was hosed, so I couldn’t have done much of anything productive even if I wanted to.
Everyone kept telling me I should’ve stayed home because I sounded terrible — I think I’ll take their advice and stay in tomorrow. *ugh*
And last but not least …
One of my themes has recently been featured in a WordPress tutorial over on YouTube:
A big thanks to Kristie for letting me know about it, and to ktinboulder for selecting my theme! :D

We had much snow too. It was a very cold winter this year. But I’m looking for a hot summer.

American Village is truly amazing. I wish to go there with my kids one day. I think they wouldn’t appreciate it yet.
