Hi everyone
I’m back form Indiana and I have soooo much to blog about and not enough time to do it all. First let me begin to say THANK YOU Kim, for letting me go along with you and the kids to Indiana. I feel blessed to have finely met your family and see where you grew up. I’ll just touch on the highlights of our trip. We traveled over 2400 miles round trip and 5 states. Once we got out of Texas the trip went pretty fast. We did find time to stop at a few garage sales, flea markets, and a tour of the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. I have lots of pictures ,some good ,some not so good.
Hope you enjoy.

Can you tell that they are sooooo glad to be out of the car?Indiana



The world famous Schimpff's Candy store









I just had to try White Castle before going back to TexasKim's favorite place is Pizza King
The burgers came in this cute little box and smelled like onions

I must say I am a true TEXAS GIRL , I like my hamburgers with a pound of real BEEF and sooo BIG it takes both hands to pick it up.

The pizza was fantastic , it had a thin crust and a little on the salty side.
Not to greasy



On our way home



ARE WE HOME YET?????

The sweet girl over at the Nesting Place
http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/
is playing a day dreaming game called “I wish I had a robot.” This sound like fun to me soo here it goes…. If I had a robot first I would give him a cutie name like Jacque.
Jacque would sweep and mop the whole house every night before bed so when I get up in the morning I could walk barefooted with out that sandy feeling on my feet. Jacque would clean up the boys breakfast mess and make perfect creamy coffee for me every morning. I would not allow him to make the boy breakfast because I think it’s important for the boys to do for themselves. Hehheheheheheheheheheheh
Poor Jacque would have to follow me all around picking up after me in the morning as I get dressed for my day. He would gather up all the dirty laundry and get it ready for me to wash, I can do the washing {how hard is it to turn the knobs on the washer and dryer?}However all the folding, ironing, and putting away would be his job along with the bathrooms. My robot would unload the truck after I went grocery shopping and put all the stuff away. I wouldn’t let him take the trash out because that is a REAL mans job. I would have him wash and clean out my truck everyday. I hate to change the sheets on our beds soooo that would be on his list of things to do. My robot would bath and brush the dogs every other day. OOO he would make sure the water and food bowl is full all the time for my sweet little girls, you know we girls have to look out for each other. Jacque would paint my toe nails until I can reach them my self. He would do all the filing and mail organizing and balancing our check books. He would also do all the yard work except for the fun stuff like planting and cutting flowers. Being that my robot would be the one Being that I spent most of my time with we would scrapbook, craft, watch movie and talk about the soaps together. Ohhhh He would find my phone for me when I have left it lay in some out of sight place. He would also read all of my books and tell me if I would like them or not so I would never ever have to say I can’t believe I actually finished that book.
What would your robot do for you if you had one?

I will be taking a short brake from posting due to a unexpected trip to Indiana. Kim’s grandfather past away last night. She was very close to her grandpa; she was blessed to be able to spend a few weeks with her grandparents this summer. However that doesn’t make this time any easier. I’m riding along with Kim and her children to attend the funeral. I’m hoping to help make this 16 hour trip a little less sad and long for Kim and kids. Please keep Kim and her family in your prayers during this difficult time.

Living In The Pink


This weekend DH and I are going travel trailer shopping. We need a large trailer for the three of us to live in for about 8 months while we build our home. I’m not looking forward to this however I’m trying to find the humor in it all. Here are some of the trailers I could see myself staying in for a night or two.
