Nope.  No snow here.  Not any to speak of any way.  Kind of discouraging, isn’t it?  Oh, well, that’s Tennessee. Friday, Bernie was really sick (he still is), so he asked me to fill in for him at a lunch for the Boy Scouts.  I saw Daniel’s dad and Governor Bredesen…     Last night, […]

So, movie night was last night and paintball was today.  Can you think of a better way to spend your weekend?  Well… PARKER…JACOB….JACOB AND CHIP CLEANING A GUN…PARKER SNEAKING AROUND…ALL GETTING DIRECTIONS… Chels and Chip watched The Notebook tonight, after her audition for her All-State spot was finished.  Way to go, Chelsey!!!  Now, we’ll all […]

Would you please pray for Emily and Mary and their family right now?  Their grandfather died last night of a heart attack.  It was so sudden and so unexpected, and the girls will have so many emotions to deal with.  I know that you’ll be good friends and let them know you’re thinking of and […]

Siegel Nation looks like this, only multiplied by a couple of hundred. Bernie has some great cheers he could teach them.  They could use some new, fun cheers.  He could get them intotrouble, too, though.  Maybe he should stay in the adultsection.  He gets into trouble there, too, sometimes.  Adults are just bigger kids, you […]

Today is picture day….last night was the Chili Cook-Off, Brownie Bake-Off, Talent Show at Church.  It was loads of fun, and I’m only hoping that my youth group appreciates the sacrifice of dignity this forty-something has made out of love for them.  I do love them…all of them! Especially, I love Chris and Andrew.  They’ll graduate […]

Oh, how glad I am for Saturdays!  This Saturday is a little different, though.  I am heading to the church in a little while to practice a skit (dance) that I have agreed to do with my girls.  Why?  I don’t know.  I’m such a glutton for punishment/embarrassment, I suppose.  Maybe they’ll decide they could […]

Already, it is January 24th.  What am I doing to make this a year to remember?  Will I make a difference for someone else?  Will I learn something new, so that my brain doesn’t grow stale?  Will I take my family and go on an adventure?  What will make this year memorable?  Every day, I […]

So, Chip had a big bag of blue paintballs. (That’s why I’m using lovely blue on the background today).  He and Jacob swept in after the game last night to get his stuff to spend the night at Daniel’s–seems they think they’re always over here and should stay somewhere else for a change.  So, Chip took […]

Every day, I get a thing called “God’s Minute,” and it’s written to ME, as if God is speaking to me.  I love it.  Some days I find it ok, and other days, it’s like WOW!  Today, it just struck me as something that so manyof my friends would embrace.  I hear so many of […]
