Still Thanksgiving!

What fun we had on Thanksgiving Day. Just hung around all day!

We needed to check the paper for Fridays sales.And we had company for dinner!
With good conversations! After which we (the Lady's) cross stitched. Sorry, but the guys watched TV and didn't think to take pictures of us :-)

Friday was leftover day. So, after shopping, no, not at 5 am, but at 8 am, we had lunch and dinner consisted of leftover chocolate cheese cake! (inbetween cross stitching)!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bush's!

Yes, we are at it again. It seems on my posts I always have to talk about food! Well, it is a part, big part, of my life. I love food!


Anyway, got up at 5:30 and put the turkey in. It is a big 23 pounder! Want to come and share it with us? It has been in the oven a little over an hour and the whole house smells like turkey. What fun is that?

In this picture you can see who is awake at 6 in the morning. Not one male in view!!!

So, cross stitching early in the morning. Sitting on the computer and updating blog, reading e-mail, and no man to bother us...we do hear them snore, and they say they don't!

I'll take more pictures and send them on later today.

Have a fun Turkey Day!

Tuesday is stitching day!

Yes, every Tuesday after work I meet with some friends and we cross stitch, how else could I get it all done?!
Today we spend all day at my house and I served lunch too. As my mom is visiting she gets to stitch with us. And we did it all day. Boy did we go. But, of course, we also have plenty of conversations and cake and coffee :-)

One update!

Okay, so we went to Austin last weekend. Dan went to meetings, and Tiffany met Jason and me and we went shopping at the new outlet mall in Round Rock. Tiffany's mom also came and I wasn't the only 'adult' around. Did we buy much? No, I just bought one pot and a cookie cutter. What a shame! When Dan came from his meetings I already had checked into the hotel and we had decided to go to the Saltgrass Steakhouse. What a good decision that was. Tiffany's parents met us there and we had some good steaks and good company. We were going to a movie afterwards, but that didn't happen either as we spend way too much time eating.






Jason and Tiffany before we started shopping.








Jason, Tiffany and Carol Ann waiting for me after shopping :-)

Walking in the Park

After sitting in meetings all day Kristy had the idea to go to the Park and walk. Of course we were going to take the dogs, all three of them. Dan has to go along as I don't want to be responsible for Jaeger all by myself (and poop pick up is not my thing either :-)).
So, we did go for a walk, Kristy and her ladies went twice around, but Dan only does one, and I was beeing nice and also only went once. Actually we went 1 1/2 times and decided to take some pictures of Jaeger. By the time Kristy was done we were at the car already also waiting for her ladies as I wanted to take pictures of Jaeger with the girls. That is easier said then done though! But here are the results:





























And who is waiting for the snack?

Great Fall Gathering or something similar!

Well, so you are wondering what I do with my free time? How about scrap booking! That is where I spend 6 hours last night. Got 18 pages done, and are that much farther with all my pictures. I really ought to go and spread all my stuff out and clean and organize it. But I guess I need another day off from work to do that :-)


Now, are you wondering what it says on my T-Shirt? Well, my little sister got that for me. Hmmm, did she get that as a retalatory thing because I gave her one like that that talked about her beeing my sister? Hah, what fun. Lets see what we can find in the stores now....




Anyway, here is the saying: "I SMILE because I scrapbook. I LAUGH because my HUSBAND can't do anything about it."
See my big grin?

What a weekend!

Now, if you think I did anything special, think again! But Tiffany was here on Saturday and we went to eat at Red Robin. Then we went to Pet Smart and bought some fish which Tiffany and Jason had fun with. Well, are shrimp considered fish? 4 for 30cents each was a cheap thrill!







Then on Sunday I cooked a meal and the "kids" got to do some carving!

How about these five pumpkinheads?!

It seems I had a good weekend after all :-)

What happened between the two last posts?

Well, it seems I just don't have time to get on this blog and write whatever is happening, so here is just a short update...
We started the book fair and then it ran all week. As we have over 1,000 students we were busy with teachers bringing them to the library. We do give the kids before and after school to have time to browse and shop. With this many kids though we limit it to students with money. Sad, but we can't have all of them in at the same time. So I was at school at 7:20 and stayed till after 4 (normally I work from 7:30-3:30). Monday afternoon we went to Sam's to buy all the food we needed for the Family Event we had on Tuesday evening, right after school, so I came home after 6 one day and after 7 the next.
My parents came to visit on Tuesday and I ran home at lunch to say hi then I didn't see them till after 7. Wednesday and Thursday regular book fair schedule and Friday I took off from work and my parents took Dan and me to the airport for our trip to Atlanta.
So now you ought to read the next blog to find out what all happened there. But I can't even tell you how much we were spoiled by the company. If you have never heard of Primerica, look it up in the phone book and find yourself an agent who can help you out. Advertisement? Definitely!

Millionaires in Training (MIT)

Well, you know we went away for a weekend and here are some pics to prove it. We had so much fun, you ought to see all the video we got. We haven't even had a chance to view any of it. Just way to busy. It seems time just keeps flying away.
Anyhow, we left on Friday, Oct. 6th and came back on Monday, Oct. 9th. We stayed at the Chateau Elan N of Atlanta. It was an all expense paid trip by Primerica. Everything was free.


Dan and I had the greatest of times. It was so much fun to meet all these new people and even sitting through all the meetings was a great pleasure. We learned so much more about the company Dan works with. Yes, we did have fun, did I already say that?

I don't want to make the suspense even bigger, so here are some of the many pictures we took:

Book Fair

Well, here is what Kristy and I have been doing all day yesterday...setting up the book fair. And today we had Teacher Preview, with goodies! Our teachers like to come and shop, and after school they bring their kids by also. Here is the proof that Madison Middle School has the greatest teachers!

Hi Judy!

And next week we will have all 1,000 students come through the library and many of these will be buying books! Yeah!
It is our (the library's) only fundraiser, and we will give out prices all year!
Tuesday evening we will have our first evening affair, parents night from 4-6!
Don't forget to come back and see more of the fun we are having :-0

Abilene's Cruise Night

So, Abilene had a cruise night and guess who participated...yes, Dan and his 300! I got to ride along. I need to learn how to make pictures from video and I'll be able to post a few pictures, none of us in the line up though > oh, so sad...

Boyz n' Toyz

Do I need to say anything about this???

Yes, it is a Twin-Turbo 300ZX

And it now belongs to Dan...and Me...and Jason - hah, one of these people have not yet driven it, only rode in it...

I really should put a picture with Dan on here also :-)

Our Weekend :)

Saturday we went for a walk with the dogs...Then we played with Jaeger...
...and his new tire!

And on Sunday we had a Labor Day Party with some friends and played "Mexican Train"...

Monday we rested and didn't take any pictures :-)

Doggie Splash Day at Rose Park

Today I joined Jason and Jaeger at the pool! Hah, that Rottweiler is a big chicken!!! He will not jump into the water and once Jason finally got him pulled in he won't swim but will look for the quickest way out! Oh, well...
Anyway, Jason and I had fun and we pooped that dog out. He slept for two solid hours on Jason's waterbed. Too bad I didn't go over to take a picture of that. So, for today you will have to make do with the pictures from the pool. Oh, yeah...Jaeger got a life vest today! They were looking for a big dog who would wear it. We didn't think Jaeger would let us put it on, or if he would keep it on, but he really didn't care, I wonder if it kept him cooler, anyway, once Jason had it on him and pulled him into the water it was easier for Jason to keep him in the water. For one he didn't have to hold him anymore. Maybe it was easier for Jaeger to swim, anyway, here you can see pictures of everything. Hope you enjoy them...

What my sister wants to know!

Well, people are busy and don't have the time to always update their blog! But here we go, just for you...


It's back to work for me. Meetings and Work Days all week long. One more work day on Monday and then it's life as usual, or so I think :-) we'll see when the kids are finally back at school.

This weekend we are having our granddog to dogsit, oh what fun that is.














Otherwise I am asked to take pictures of the stuff my brother's send to me.

Here is what I get from my younger brother...














...and here is what my older brother sends me.














Here is what keeps me busy:
















So, Sandra, what have you to show?

I have to go now...more of what you see in the pictures!

Take care!
