_sylviaanne_My parents votedat 5:30 
_sylviaanne_:( 
matermagistrathat's a cool picture 
schmidtkinsDonna, I am bitterly disappointed. I cannot begin to express my deep disappointment in the American people. This race became and was won, about the wrong things. Since my trust in God is greater than my trust in men, there is hope. One GOOD thing is that FL voted to preserve Biblical marriage! If you had heard how rampant homosexuality is in the schools, you would be as surprised and completely amazed by these results as I. It again give some hope through my fears. Some people's comments about this election and Obama's win have really bothered me. I don't have a problem with giving him my respect as a Christian (we are commanded to in Romans) but some of the things people, even Christians have said have bothered me, because they obviously did not study the true issues, nor the men behind the issues. I do not believe that the better man won yesterday. I do believe that God can accomplish good through him, however. 
schmidtkinsI am glad for the fact that history was made, thus giving blacks everywhere, hope, healing, and hopefully closure to an era that never should have existed in humanity in the first place, much less the United States of America. 
schmidtkinsSince I was praying all day, and recognize that God is in control, I believe that Obama is not in power for nothing. God has a plan for him. 
matthew_and_brookeYes, I can do that. I have the futon (which is a double bed size), I can borrow 2 air mattresses from my mother in law (they are slightly smaller than twin, they were used for camping when her boys were growing up), and I have a couch that is not a sleep sofa, but is very comfortable (I sleep there myself sometimes when I'm sick.) Just let me know what you need, and I'll make sure it's prepared. Also, if you give me your e-mail address, I'll send you directions. (We're only about a mile off of I 95 in Bangor, and about a mile from the church building) 
matermagistraThanks for all the gingerbread info. I found a place where I can order the pieces, we just have to assemble them. I was going to assemble the day of the party, but it seems that from your experience you would recommend assembling them ahead of time? 
matermagistraI am so excited about our gingerbread party! 
enyekwelcome back!! I know you must have had a really encouraging, fun-filled weekend! 
mrs_rossheadThank you for the day in Boston! I had such a great time! I feel so smart, probably since we hung out by MIT!!!
Huge Hugs! 
jlmanagerEnjoyed the weekend with you and Anaja. Glad you made it back ok!

My 5th Grandchild has arrived! 10-22-08 08:12am EST
And "he" is my 2nd grandson:
Presenting Theodore James Ross
6lbs
arriving at 3:52 a.m.
Daddy, Mommy and Teddy are all doing great!
We are all tired, happy, and thankfully praising God for a safe, healthy, uncomplicated birth.
Here is a short gallery of pictures-more to follow after I have had some sleep and go back to hold my precious newest grandson.

tanjaWow! Didn't realize he was due already. So wonderful. We are thankful to God that all is well. 
a_starrYay, yay, yay!!!!!!
I'm so excited!!!!!!
So, they will call him Teddy?
I like that - Teddy and Merry. :) 
racheldCongratulations! How nice to add members to the family! 
7laughinghardmansYou look way to young to have grandchildren! Let's start planning that campout adventure! 
mrs_rossheadMORE pictures, pleeeeeease!!! 
sarahsmileCongratulations! I don't even think of you as a grandmother though- you're so young!
Also, courtney looks really good for just having a baby!! 
timstarrCourntey looks amazing! She looks better than Chris! I love the picture of you holding the baby and there's a DDs cup on the table next to you, of course. I'm jealous on both accounts. :) 
mamapDonna!! I'm SO happy for you! Congratulations to all of you! He is beautiful and I know you are all so happy and SO THANKFUL for this healthy baby!

The camp will be at Shakamak in Indiana again. Yes, lots of folks are already reserving their cabins. We have ours already reserved. However, if you plan to stay in the group camp, you can't make your reservation until about 6 months before camp time. Once you see the notices come out (on the HS Camping list), be sure to get your name AND your deposit in to reserve a spot. They will fill up quickly. I am hoping Greg will actually get to come this time. If he makes it, it will be his first time and I know he'll love it! I hope Jay can come, too. I think he will love it!! Hope he is feeling better! 
gobbler_boythat is so sweet. 
gobbler_boytell him happy belated birthday. 
split_rockCongratulations! 
laurar209Congratulations!!! Oh, he is SO cute! :) Can't wait to meet him...!!! 
snugglebugYeah I hope to meet you some day! Lord willing sooner than later! 
enyekAbout the game - sure. I got an email from you, but it was not a link to a game. Bring it on! 
_sylviaanne_Awww, so many babies! 
enyekI deleted it... couldn't stand the pain 
lromanicAdorable! I'm so glad I'm using a friend's computer since I wouldn't be able to view these on our dial up! 
megcongrats, family! What sweet pictures! 
olivianAwww!congrats 
christopharioAw very cute congrats!! 
mountaingirlYay!!! soooooo cute and I know you are all thankfull for a beautiful heathy boy! congratulations to all ((((((hugs))))) 
schmidtkinsthank you for the pictures on Courtney's blog... I don't have facebook, so I couldn't see him. It is nice to be able to keep up with everyone through pleo, because I would never know these things, otherwise... it is a great blessing, these computers and what they can do! 
memereI love the pictures you posted on Courtney blog 
rosieI've seen it twice now. BArry and I went with another couple. Everybody liked it. It really is amazing and it even ends with scriptures. 
7laughinghardmansI asked a stranger to send me pictures that I saw him taking. He sent them via e-mail the other day!

My Husband Can Sing! 08-29-08 09:16pm EST
(40 older comments)
shandaThat was great!! Kyle liked it too :) 
_sylviaanne_I think we have seen that video five times since we saw it and i just think it is really good! 
schmidtkinsCool, Feb? 
laurar209I think we have, too! Everytime a friend comes over, after the first "hello" we're like "did you see this video? it's hilarious!...oh, wait... you DO like Republicans, correct?" 
laurar209Mrs. Polk, this is probably a little premature since I have no clue when a good time will be, but I'm going to be NJ for the next 1-3 years and my weekends -- at least for the next 12 months -- are going to be pretty flexible. So, my plan is to visit a new place once a month over a Friday night-Sunday afternoon weekend. I'm hoping to make it up to Providence either in late October or early Nov; if so, I was wondering if it might be permissable to invite myself over to your house for a warm bed. Of course, when I get my schedule better fized I'll have a better idea of dates and if you all are busy, then I'll do some Keyne/Starr research. :) 
laurar209*fized = fixed* 
lromanicI watched it at the Bishops.... it is hilarious! I would love to have the words :) 
lromanicWhat happened? Today it says "This video is no longer available" :-( 
lromanicNever mind, now it's working... but with dial-up it takes about 25-30 minutes to finish - but worth the wait :) 
katdvakI'm still singing that tune in my head!! Thanks again for the lunch, the tour, the dessert, the directions, and all the fun! I really appreciated it! It was really nice meeting yall!! 
katdvakWe didn't go into the museum. By that point we were all soooo tired we just wanted to get to the hotel. I was just glad we made it to the ship at all! I really want to go back and take my husband. He would absolutely LOVE Boston! We'll have to put the museum high on the list of things to do. He'll definitely want to do that. I also told him about how one of the colleges (MIT I think it was maybe) has a "prank museum". I really want to go back and walk through that too! 
mrswestphali do remember you! thanks so much! 
gobbler_boythats hilarious 
mrs_rossheadThanks for dinner last night and coming to the airport to pick me up! It's always so wonderful to see you and spend time with you. 
mrs_rossheadYour husband is so talented! haha 
_sylviaanne_I know you are on Ms. Donna. 
calistrawberry91I live right outside of Sumter in Dalzell and I live on Fish Rd. That'd be really nice if I got to see you soon (: 
olivian Awww, i wish you could too....one of these days you all need to plan a nice long vacation to FL!!! 
christopharioOMGoodness that is to funny!! 
_sylviaanne_I am fine, thank you. 
snickers63Hello again - just saw your comment from a couple of posts back about coming into sleeping persons bedrooms.... I can relate to that, only it was a neighbor's house that I was watching, came in late from services, went down to feed dog... ran into their house without knocking and saw suitcases and realized they were home. Then what to do - sneak out? call out in case they heard someone come in? Did not try walking into their bedroom!!! 
snickers63(You can still come! I'll just lock my bedroom door!!) 
spinningbeei still laugh at the first 10 seconds of this video more than the rest. :) 
tweedledeelol! I still like it, but I thought you had an update when I saw your name was white! =] 
christopharioThis always makes me laugh lol

Growing Sweetness! 08-21-08 10:52am EST
tanjaAwwww! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet! 
linda_gBeautiful! She's getting so big! 
schmidtkinssweet! 
saraI think that first picture is frame worthy! 
comadeThat was the sweetest thing this morning! 
thewifeofbudThe little overalls make even cuter!!! 
split_rockSweet, indeed! 
enyekDonna we need to do some scrapbooking together 
schmidtkinsyeah, this rain is hardly beautiful! But the grass is getting a good drink! LOL 
schmidtkinsMy poor dog... it is so pitiful... he wants to go out, so we take him out on the LEASH now, but he gets out there, realizes he can't run away... since there is no other fun to be had and it is all wet, he wants to come in, but then sits by the door with his head in the corner crack... longing... 
angeladToo cute!!!! 
sarahsmileI love the one with Anaja? They're all growing up way to fast! 
hannahjoI can't believe how big she is getting! 
sarahphimOh, how adorable! 
lromanic :( I know what it's like to have cats disappear. Living in the woods makes it impossible to know if our cats will be around from one day to the next. We have bears around for sure... among other things. 
lromanicRight now we have 3 or 4 cats. Hunter brought home a black & white female kitten which we named Oreo. She's really adorable... but kind of annoying... biting at the ankles (playfully) and stuff like that. 
christopharioThose pics are really cute!! Hi to all!! 
tweedledeeLOVELY!!! The one with the bowl full of tomatoes particularly darling!

Quietness! 03-13-08 09:58am EST
Can this be???? One in the living room quietly working on Language and Math, one at one kitchen table quietly working on reading, another at another table coloring, and yet another one sleeping.... And this one being very quiet as to not disturb all this quietness.
Yes, I am watching my precious grandchildren this week and part of next week. From 6:30a.m. until 3:30p.m we are non-stop. I am enjoying it very much. This morning was spent with much bird watching and then outside to cultivate the earth a little. So nice to see crocuses and the first sign of buds.
I leave you with a few Williamism: Gramma, I see a Red Carna-able, I see a red heart chickadee, and I love the way he studies the bird book to look for birds we would never see here, but it keeps him busy at the window looking with his "rinoculars".

bookworm14Thank you. How did you find out about that?

Have so much fun with the Bishops!=D 
schmidtkinsI miss you too! We should be coming up there in June for about two weeks for a family reunion. The children get out of school on June fifth, so I am thinking of leaving the following week. The reunion is the 28th, but I figured I will leave the next day (after assembly/lunch) 
alaksagrowngirlNow Im jealous! Have a great time! Your turn to give them a hug for me...miss and love you! 
sarahsmileHey, I heard today that Sandy Hayes' (from Tyngsboro) mother passed away. Not sure if anyone in RI knew. 
jodyHmm. Just realizing that's my parents' house up there! :) 
bookworm14Happy wedding anniversary! 
lromanicHAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It was so nice seeing you on Wed. evening. Hope to see you soon! :) Hope you had a great time with hubby. I'm just full of hopes today, I guess ;) 
lromanicI'm so sorry you guys had a flat today! Whatever Natalie tries to tell you, it wasn't me!!! I'm trying to figure out when I can talk hubby into coming for a visit! 
alaksagrowngirlHow was your trip to PA? If you get a chance when you get back, could you email me Jeff and Libbys address (I never got that from you:)? My email is katharr84@gmail.com:). Miss you so much! 
enyekjiggity jig. 
video_nanaEnjoyed getting to see you - wish we could have had ore time together. 
blessings_of_a_momHello. Samantha Hatcher here. We met at the Gettysburg church of Christ last week. It was wonderful to meet you. 
enyekHad so much fun tonight! We are such losers!! 
lori_in_paDonna! I just realized I don't have you on my friends list? How is that? I enjoyed getting to sit by you in Bible class the other day. 
tayloranneHaha!I am smiling but not a pretty smile!:)I was working at a daycare center.My last day is Tuesday.:(And thank you!We are very excited to see her!!! 
hannahjoI was just looking at the pictures from our trip.. Makes me miss you even more! : ( 
enyekYou must come visit soon! 
mamaladyThose plans sound great. I'll run them by Scott. They will arrive in the evening on Sat. Tabitha had a game rained out this weekend, and it has been rescheduled for 9 a.m. on Sat. Scott said she can play if she is already packed. So they will aim to leave here late morning. More details to come.. thanks! 
tweedledeeIt was merely 45 degrees here yesterday and today!!!! =] 
mcbecciI actually remember that. I used to go visiting with Connie and she was telling me about that. What a funny memory. I'll work that into the basket. Thanks for sharing. 
_sylviaanne_I like Sunflowers also, daddy just said that i will start seeing the flowers any day now, we will try to send you pictures. Maybe when the you are over at the Sutherlans they can put Geo cam on and we can talk to you, maybe you can see the garens then!
