Happy Birthday to Me!! Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Yep, today is the big 50! Who knew that 50years could fly by so fast. My mom and my Grandma always have told me to enjoy the time you have each day, because they all go so fast. And how true I'm realizing that is. I don't feel 50. And age is just a number right? Other than being overweight, I still feel like I did when I was in my early 30's. I have always thought that my parents were old, know what I mean? Well just wait until you get to be the age they were when you thought they were old. That's not very funny either. :(

I got to scrapbook yesterday with some gals and it was like heaven! I absolutely love doing that and for 4 1/2 hours we scrapped. Then we all went out with our families to La Hacienda. I had beef nacho's. Yummmmmm. I like other things on the menu too, but just wasn't sure about the carbs. With nacho's, it's cheese and beef, so I'm hoping it wasn't too bad for my diet. When we got done there, Greg, Ethan and I went down and walked across the river bridge. I think if you walk all the way over and back it's a mile. We got to watch a train stop, unload the crew, load up a fresh crew and take off. I had no idea that went on here at Boonville. There was a train coming behind it so as soon as it took off, the other finally started up and came on through. It took about 15-20 minutes for the first one to clear. There were only 3 engines but there were a boatload of coal cars on there. Anyway, it was dark and watching the trains with their lights on and the men with lights walking around was kind of neat.

We came home and Ethan wanted to play Risk. I had never played before and guess what, I WON! Beginner's luck I guess. Stephanie is spending the night with a friend who's also having a birthday. She'll be home sometime this afternoon as we have to count money at church this morning (11am) and won't be done till about 1:00pm. I hate to think about working on my birthday, but I've got a gajillion loads of laundry, dishes, cleaning, and taking down the pool to do. I/m not a procastinator but I have not been home all weekend so off I go to get that done.

Thanks for checking in on us guys.
