Amory CAD...

went very good til the STORM hit. We all decided that we could ride it out under the tent for a little while. We got closer and closer until we had to go in for the day. Kristie and I looked and felt like WET DOGS trying to get everything in from the rain. Before it started raining we gave away around 200 hotdogs. We had a GREAT time as you can see below!

Michele Jackson's bunch...

(LESLEE - 11, ANNIE MAE - 7, HUNTER -3, COOPER 18 MONTHS)

visted Panama City Beach this past weekend. She said they had a BLAST, as you can tell, Cooper did not want to stop for the picture.

Are You Mighty?

HE WHO CONQUERS OTHERS IS STRONG. HE WHO CONQUERS HERSELF IS MIGHTY When you get what you want in your struggle for self. And the world makes you queen for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself. And see what that woman has to say. For it isn't your father or mother or husband, Whose judgment upon you must pass; The girl whose verdict counts most in your life, Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you are a straight-shooting chum, And call you a wonderful lass, But the girl in the glass says you're only a bum, If you can't look her straight in the eye. She's the one to please, never mind all the rest, For she's with you clear up to the end, And you have passed your most dangerous, difficult test, If the girl in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down your pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears, If you've cheated the girl in the glass - Anonymous Have a great weekend, Shanda

These two beautiful babies are the wonderful children of Heather and Clay Hogue. No they do not know that they are dogs. They just know they walk on four legs instead of two.

Too cute!!

Baldwyn CAD

Last Thursday was a busy day at Baldwyn. We served over 385 hotdogs and due to that we decided not to count the amount of drinks given away!! We had a lot of anxious people there wanting something to eat and excited to register for the grill. Our winner of the grill is a long time home phone service customer, who recently became a title customer. He was ecstatic that he was the winner of the day. All of the customers there were thankful for their freebie gifts and were definitely telling people to come see us.

Your Mother Told You . . .

. . .smoking was dangerous for your health. Last week when Jana went out to smoke it began to rain so she ran to this shelter behind the building. You can see in the picture where her foot slipped and you can imagine for your self the rest. I'm not sure this is what Mother meant. Jana had her cell phone with her and called inside for help. The caring and compassionate souls that we are, we quickly ran to aid her with the camera in hand. Be Careful Today, Shanda

Hope...

everyone had a GREAT Mother's Day! If anyone would like to share a story please leave it in the comments. My story is that I told my daughter what I wanted for Mother's Day a couple of days ago. Well Saturday she was sitting in my lap and I must have done something to upset her that day bc when I asked her if she had told her daddy what I wanted her response was...(while her teeth were clinched) she screamed "Your not getting nothing for Mother's Day! So CRY!" However, I did wake up to a hammock that I had been wanting for a while. Kim

First Time Aunt...

Heather Barnes is now the proud aunt of a 8lb 3oz beautiful baby girl named, Emma. As you can see in the middle picture Cassie and Hunter are also very excited.

Count you blessings

This is Lyla's daycare going shopping. Wouldn't you like to have six babies to take shopping? How about work where you had to take six babies shopping?

Lyla is Bellena baby. She is the 2nd child on the right. Wow it doesn't seem like she should be this big already. They grow up too fast!
