tulips

This picture of the tulips are from about 8 years ago. John and I planted our garden to mimmick a garden at Colonial Williamsburg. They looked beautiful the first year and then they all died. At least we have pictures to remember it.

Facebook

I've jumped ship to Facebook. If you want to find me, look for me there. Denise, if you read this, please tell Chrissy. I thought she was going to get a computer. Happy Easter Everyone!

Flip Video`

Don't waste your money on a Flip Video. I only used mine about 8 or 9 times and now it won't work. I need to get in touch with the manufacturer & see if they can fix it. I can turn it on and then it freezes.

Otherwise, things are ok. We are feeling better now. Kate & I were both sick. Just a cold. John Wayne is here today. It's 8:30 am and we are watching Cars for the 1000th time again. They love it.

Our other computer is disabled. Got the AV360 virus. Thought I had it removed, but when you open Internet Explorer, it keeps opening pages and I can't get it to stop. So, I need to have it looked at.

Take care.

John's Awards

This past Thursday, we went to the Holiday Inn for the 20/20 Awards. Boy, there were alot of people there. It was packed! Jim Scott, the dj, was the guest speaker. We were served dinner, which was ok, but Tim wouldn't eat it. It was a chicken breast stuffed with a spinach/cheese mixture. He is so picky! John received 4 certificates and a trophy paperweight. One certificate was from the Ohio Senate, one from the Ohio House of Representatives, one from the county and I think the other one was from the 20/20 committee. He took them all to the mill, so I only got to look at them once. He wants to have them framed.

I've been busy trying to learn a new computer program that helps you design a website. I guess I have to do it for the mill now. I'll send you a link after I get it done.

At the Salon

I shot a little video at the salon today. It's for Barb.

new mill

Went to the mill today & shot a little video with my new little Flip Video. It's little and only holds about an hour of video. I love it because it's so easy and the buttons are manageable with my numb fingers. The mill is operational, but there is still some clean-up going on.

John

John has been nominated for 20/20 Salute to Leaders. Each township from Clermont County nominates someone for this each year. So, we went to the mall and he bought 2 new sportcoats and some pants. The pants and one jacket had to be altered. We picked them up Sunday and took them home. Monday he had an appointment to have his picture taken at Portrait Studio in the mall. He got dressed and the pants were way too short. The jacket fit ok. The shirt he bought was too tight in the neck. So, he wore an older pair of pants and just skipped wearing a tie. The guy who waited on him at JC Penney was a jerk. When we took the pants back, we found out that he had measured the inseam at 25 inches! The lady who waited on him when he took the pants back really helped alot. She seemed to know what she was doing, but we will have to wait until the 17th to get the pants back to see for sure. That's our latest drama. Ha! Ha!

Coyotes!

Johnny has 24 baby lambs in the barn and with the snow on the ground, the coyotes are hungry. His dog, Chloe is a Great Pyranees and is supposed to be a guard dog. Well, this morning, Katie was doing dishes when she saw one behind the manure pile. We all ran into watch it and it just stood there. Johnny had borrowed a high power rifle with a scope and he went out front behind the cars and shot it right through the eye. He's proud of himself! John can't wait to tell Andy.

Snow & Ice

Help! We're sick of this weather! It's pretty to look at, though.

The works continues

Went to the feed mill today and sent Amanda over to take some pictures. They still don't have electric. Duke sent out a crew a few days ago but they said that the pole for the transformer was rotten. Now, we have to wait until Monday for the new pole. Who knows how long it will take for them to send the crew back out to get the electric hooked up. John estimates that it will be another 2 weeks until it is operational.

The Carney Christmas

Everything went well. The food was good, the kids had plenty of places to run, upstairs and downstairs. The adults had room to spread out. It was nice. Here are a few pictures.
