Baseball on the Mountain

The 7-8 year old Pickett County All Stars played in a baseball tournament in Jamestown Saturday, July 18. They won their first game, 10-0, lost the second game, 14-6 and lost the last one, 16-15 in overtime, taking third place. Way to go guys! You all played hard and we're very proud of you! They will be playing in a hometown tournament beginning July 31st. Come on out and cheer them on!

School Supplies

It's time to shop for back to school supplies. There are some good deals at Walmart, but don't forget places like Office Max. They are having some one cent specials this month. Check their weekly ad to see what the deals of the week are. This week pencil sharpeners were one cent each, but you must get to the store on Sunday when the sale begins or they will be gone. Other featured items this week are packs of colored pencils for 25 cents and plastic binders for 20 cents. Now is a good time to buy flash drives and dvds and cds. Happy Shopping.

Remembering. . .

July 20th 1969
I sat in the living room with my family watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. We were watching our black and white TV and it was tuned to Channel 5 where Walter Cronkite was narrating the event.
And that's the way it was, 40 years ago.
Where were you?

Like mother. . .

Remember the Tale of Number 26, who doesn't have the sense God gave a goat. This must be her KID!

Pray for Henry

I know that when the health of your child or grandchild is at stake there is nothing you would not give or do to make them better. I want to ask you to help the Emmert and Hance family by praying for their son and grandson, Henry.
This afternoon I received a call from my church asking everyone to pray for Henry who is fighting a battle against cancer. He is only three years old. His website at caring bridge tells his story. His grandparents are dear friends. They pastored the First Christian Church here several years ago. The cancer treatments have made him weak and he has a problem that may cause him to have more surgery. Please add to your prayer list Henry Hance and the Emmert Family.

From my Inbox

One of my forwarding friends sent this photo to me, thought it was worth sharing!

Scenes from Lewisburg

June 26-27...we didn't win...but we had fun! And it was only 100 degrees.

You Had to Have Been There

Warning: Some of you are too YOUNG to understand this post!

There is something about this photo, I believe it's the two dead trees, that reminded me of the CCR ( Creedence Clearwater Revival) song Bad Moon Rising.

50 prints for 50 cents (plus shipping of course)

This is a deal that is hard to beat! Start uploading, it only lasts until July 10th. It is from snapfish. I've used them many times and always been pleased with the photos. Plus if you are opening a first time account you will get 20 more photos free!

New Background...

Hey guys...just thought I would add a new background in honor of Independence Day which is fast approaching! I can't believe it is July already!   Where has June gone?   I haven't gotten to see much of it...I have stayed covered in paint!   Hope everyone has had a good summer so far...I am going to try to be finished with all of my home projects this week so I can enjoy the rest of my summer!   And if I don't see you...Happy 4th of July!
