It Must Be Late

Because this man's blog fascinates me.

I know it sounds weird, but it's so stinkin' artistic in a pseudo-ghetto sort of way...

Meghan--Then and Now (part deaux)

I really don't have all the good pictures of Meghan I would like. Meghan has them. And has put them on her Facebook page.

But here are a few more I found:






It's hard to believe that when we arrived this beauty was an adorably pudgy child...and now she's a...sniff, sniff...a (gasp!) TEENAGER!

How can she be growing like this when I've quit having birthdays at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com

I Just Read My Last Post

...And I want you to know that it was not I who wrote it! It must have been my evil (and uneducated!) twin...who obviously isn't getting enough sleep and who must have been nodding off at her keyboard because otherwise she would have at least spell checked the stupid blog entry before she posted it!

Sigh...what is one to do?

Meghan--Then and Now

You might remember by daughter:

There's this:



More coming...but must get to bed before I lose Teacher of the Year along with Neighbor of the Year!"

Chocolate and Roman Soldiers...It's That Time of Year Again!

It’s that time again. Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching L’ville and with it comes chocolate hearts, talk of snow and/or tornados, the traditional Taking Down of Our Christmas Tree, and the Easter Passion at Southeast Christian church.

Feel Free to check it all out here. From there you can see more pictures, cool stats, etc.

There’s a cool time-lapse of the set being built here.

Practice starts (for the Tech Team) March 1st. Actors and the choir have been working on their parts since January. The show runs from March 10th through March 27th every day of the week except Saturdays.

Last year over 80,000 people attended.

This year why don’t you be one of them!

We’d love to have you…although we will be only mediocre hosts; Meghan runs one of the eleven live cameras for the show and Kev’s been asked to run one as well. (Last year, Kev ran the video segments). Someday I’ll tell you how Megh ended up as a cameraperson…you’ll laugh.

I am, increasingly, the perpetual groupie; driving a cameraperson into town each night (Kev doesn’t drive much since his heart surgery… LOL!!) and I help clean, prepare, and secure the “snack room” while protecting the dinner reserved for the “Techies” from marauding bands of teenagers, townspeople, and Roman guards.
The Romans are the most threatening since they’re a hungry lot, plus they like to hang out in our room s to participate in the other seasonal religious experience…of course I mean March Madness.

In Kentucky, there are two reasons for such devotion: here and here.

This is of course, only the first of at least several whine-fests informative, and uplifting blogs about the Easter Passion. Come and experience it yourself.

But bring snacks…in case the Romans are restless.

blogReporter Marcy...um...Reporting

President Obama declared Kentucky a "state of emergency."
More than 1 million people were out of power.

The water company in our county lost power putting everyone but our neighborhood (it seemed) without water, and then on a "boil alert" until further notice.

We were able to host 2 1/2 families and three dogs for the 5 days it took to get power restored to their area.

Our cat hates us.

Libby is shedding profusely because she thinks she's next to be booted out.

Being the type of reporter that does more than simply reports I including a few more pictures of the carnage.



Miss Annie and Mr. Van came to stay with us. This is one of their trees. It shouldn't be dragging the ground.



This is a view down their street. A lot of trees had already snapped. At times it sounded like popcorn popping (towards the end of the popping stage when you should be taking it out of the micro but you want to "free" as many "old maids" as possible.



This is our park in our back yard.



This is our baby apple tree. It was amazing how each twig or blade of grass was encased in ice.

Click on each picture for eye-blinding detail.

Must run. Kevin's flying in from "chilly" Houston (whatever!) and I've got more "refugees" (in the form of some folks from my Bible class)coming for the Big Game and to do laundry (if their power isn't on by kickoff).
