10 inches!!

On day 1 of the snow event, Claire started panicking about our birds not being able to get to their food source.. she had fun spreading seed...we used a huge bag in 2 days....birds were everywhere!  Claire made a makeshift shelter our of her push cart box.....

Soft snow everywhere!  We loved the snow, but are ready for spring temps!  Claire hasn't played golf in weeks!!!

We are seeing all kinds of birds that we never have in the back yard.....

when we spreaded the seed, it would just fall inches beneath the snow...these birds were having to work way too hard for a morsel of seed! Well, we Memphians had our snao, but are ready to leave this house and go back to school and golf!  Bring on the higher temps!!!!
 

Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day with Jesse last week when he was here for Super Bowl Sunday with Lance! They had to pull out their Brady jerserys for this one...even though it's the wrong team!!!!

Well, I finally got my first golf club....we are starting with baby steps!  Claire is my coach...we shall see how this goes!

We are missing Jesse today, as he is back as MSU...but we did Valentine's Day with him a week early and we got him his 1st George Foreman Grill...he's loving it and learning to cook something new every day!!

Well, Claire finally is out of her junior push cart so we took her to Edwin Watts and took her new bag and let her pick her new one! Happy Valentines Day to Claire!

Claire was able to join me Friday at the soup kitchen.  We are at only 2 volunteers per day, so it was just us and the cook!  Great day!

Love Claire's cards.....

Claire bought me an infuser!  So excited to use this!

 

February Fun.....

Claire's Christmas presents are finally coming in!  And this was the one she was so tickled about!  She finally earned her name on her own Ogio bag....a ladies bag finally! Moving on from a kid bag!

I am volunteering twice a week for at least the month of February to give mass vaccinations at the Pipkin Builing!  I have missed stuff like this and everything just came back to me....so blessed I could help vaccinate so many......and meet new friends along the way!

 

Big News for Claire...and I'm ready for Spring!

Well, the LPGA called me last week and asked me if Claire would mind being on the new LPGA site that they are working on.....they are focusing on diversity in women's golf, and also want to include a few ameteurs alongside the pros...so they chose Claire as one and she is tickled!  Should be a few weeks before it goes live, but should be fun.  There will be a head shot, a golf shot, and a little bio page.....proud of Claire!!

I have started back sewing for me and I decided to tackle this spring dress...lots of little flaws but it's wearable and I learned so much!  I forgot how much I loved to sew....since there has been zero golf, but has my time freed up!!

 

January Goings-On

Well, last week would have been the big SBA trip to the Pro Life March in DC....of course that's not happening this year, so Claire and friends in the Pro-Life club enjoyed a mass by Bishop Talley.  Not the same, but that will make next year's trip all the sweeter!!

Because it's been cold and not as much happening with golf lately, I decided to sew a bit...it's been ages since I've sewn for me.  So I'm just refreshing my skills and having fun....Going to try a bell sleeved shift next....

 

Subbing doesn't look the same anymore...and Jesse gets some snow!

Well, now tht I've had part of the vaccine, I'm back to helping out when I'm needed at the school clinics...but wow subbing doens't look the same anymore....

Jesse got some snow!!!

Jesse gets to an MSU Basketball game...finally!!!

Lots coming up...stay safe and healthy!!!

 

Off he goes....

Well, after over 6 weeks at home, Jesse headed back to MSU today to finish his sophomore year today!  In the 6 weeks here he worked part time at the same engineering firm where he work this past summer, AND he took Calculus 3 in the Wintermester and pull a high B.  It was a lot of work in 6 weeks, but glad he did it! We will miss you Jesse and will come see you soon !!!!
 

Merry Christmas in the middle of a pandemic!

Merry Christmas! Celebrating the birth of our Lord the best we can under the cirumstances!

Lance with his new Liberty Bowl print to put in his office...

This is what Christmas Eve looked last last night at my parents house....freezing but fun!

Very Very happy about her new competition golf shoes!  He big Christmas gift is still missing in the mail.....there's a custom 7 and 9 iron out there somewhere made for Claire.....

Going old school with Tretorns!

Jesse is still not too old for a stocking apparently!

Presents and firepit at my parents last night!

This is what Christmas Day looked like with Lance's parents!  So glad we were able to celebrate!  This is the closeset we were all day for the picture!

Emily gave Claire a bear as big as she!

Jesse racked up with a new suit for job interviews, a new Thomas Edison book, clothes, and lots of GC from places around Starkville, MS....Lance got tons of Tesla Swag!  God is good...but we are SOOOO ready for 2021!  Merry Christmas!

 

Lance's Chrsitmas Present/Mid-Life Crisis Car

Lance and Jesse made it home safely from Nashvilee (I believe the car drove most of the way without Lance doing any work!) with this electric car. Yes...my Republican, Trump hating, environment loving husband has bought a Tesla....now only to figure it out!!!

 

Busy weekend!

Well, after 19 years, I finally got some new furniture in the Hearth Room and just freshened it up a bit...It's a small room off the kitchen, but Claire and I spend tons of time in this room..It's where we do our workouts, watch TV sometimes, and where I sew and craft!  It took forever to get the furniture in due to Covid, but glad it came in nonetheless!!

Yesterday, Claire and I spent the entire day making our annual cutout sugar cookies that Lance passes out to all the Summit employees for Christmas.  This year we added ugly Christmas sweaters to the lineup and Claire piped each child's inital on them....the messy ones were totally done by me.....

And this is Lance's Christmas Present/Mid Life Crisis Car.....will be arriving later today in Memphis.  Lance and Jesse sprinted to Nashville last night as soon as the had word that it had arrived at the dealership!
