Summer Fun

Well I have an update on my summer plans. Gerald and I were not going to Cabo this year because of low finances however we found out that his company credit card had enough miles for us to get free tickets so we are going. We have done everything that we want to there so all we will spend money on is food which is very cheap there if you go to the grocery store. Thats what we do anyway. We are leaving on the 20th of June. I cant wait. I think our son and daughter-in-law may go with us. That will be fun. We pay for this every month so the thought of not going sounds like a big waste of money to me so being able to go on free tickets is great. All I do anyway is lay by the pool. That is my idea of the perfect vacation. I wont spend money on my yearly body scrub this year but thats ok, I'm just glad to be able to go.
We are going to Talladega in April and again in October. We usually sell our fall tickets but this year it falls on Halloween so you know me and parties. Iam the social butterfly so Im there. We usually go the Tyler for the 4th of July but not this year. Its to hot for Gerald and we cant afford it this year. We are also trying to plan a trip to El Paso to see the family and my CRAZY cousin John. He is a nutcase. I hope maybe to go in September around Labor Day. Well readers take care till next time VALERIE OUT!!!!!

Trevor's Concert



Hello readers, Trevor was selected to be in this years Madison County Honor Band. They selected students from all 6 Madison County Middle Schools to participate and Trevor was chosen. I am so proud of him. We went to the concert and it was great. These kids are just as good as any adults I have ever heard. Each school teacher conducted one song and they were awesome. Anyway, after the concert Briana had to see her Trevor and these pictures are of them after the concert. They love each other so much. Keep up the good work Trevor. We love you.

Finally an Update

Sorry it has taken me so long to update but I have had alot going on. I have been working alot of hours and going to the lake on the weekends to get my yard cleaned up. Man it was a mess. Pine needles and leaves everywhere. I swear they had to have been 4 inches thick. Anyway, got it done and now I need to work on my flower beds. I need to plant more flowers and do some mulching. I really need to spread some more gravel. I am waiting to put my gazebo screen up until after all the pollen has fallen. When pollen is high everything is yellow and I dont want the screen to turn yellow. I will also have to pressure wash the trailer and clean the pine needles of the top of it.
Briana is graduating from pre-K on May the 12th. She has been registered at the elementary school and screened. They told Lisa she was very smart. I think she will do very well in school. Trevor is in his last year of Middle school and his band went to Orlando last week. They got first place and Trevor is having an honor band concert at the Civic Center Thursday night. I am so proud of him.
Work is still slow right now. I am hoping it picks up soon. I have alot of people to visit. I am going to Talladega in April but only because I have had the tickets for almost a year. If I had to but them now I would be out of luck. The fall race I have tickets for as well and it will fall on Halloween weekend. They sent me a letter informing me that they are having a huge infield costume party on Halloween night. That will be a blast.
Well hope to update again soon. I have some pictures I need to uplaod but I am at work right now and duty calls. See ya soon!!!!!
