New Litter of Toy Aussies

We have a new litter of Toy Australian Shepherds. They were born the day after my birthday, February 21. Ginger and Zeb are the proud parents. We have 3 beautiful little boys. Two black tri males and a red tri male. They are so precious.

The Squirrels Nest

Our new home away from home. Well with much looking we have finally found our camper. We have had a couple over the last few years and we finally found the one we have been wanting. A fifth wheel. It is a 1988 Jayco that is 29 ft long. YEAHHHH. We are so excited and so looking forward to camping trips ahead this year and years to come. It has lots of space and the floor plans is just right for us. With only me and Earl and occassionally Ethan camping with us it is perfect for our family. The dogs can go with us and have plenty of room to play if the weather is not fit for us to go while camping. Lots of storage for the generator and our chairs......plus coolers. Plenty of space for those who we invite to spend the night with us in the wilds of North Georgia. WOOT WOOT.......

February Fury

Well February has come in with fun at Blissdom in Nashville and now we have snow, snow, and more snow. Its so beautiful to see it falling and look down thru the woods and you can see forever it seems. The critters are enjoying it and so are we. We went sledding down a small hill and even tho it melted the next day it sure was fun. But we got up this morning to more snow flakes fallin but not much laid. But the weather man says more tonight and tomorrow so maybe it will lay once again and we will have some more fun in the snow.

Meet My New Nephew

On January 25, 2010 the newest member of the family arrived at 4:45 am. Christian Zane Barnhart made his debut in the wee hours of the morning. Weighing in at just 6lbs 6oz he is the most precious little bundle of joy. My baby brother, Sam, is a very proud papa, and Crystal is a very proud mama. And they should be, he is just perfect. From his perfectly round head to his tiny little feet. Zane, as he will called, is the baby brother to Tyler, Chase, Faith and Brayden.

New Family Member

I got a new horse yesterday. He is a 3 yr old palamino quarter horse. He is 14 hands tall and sweet as he can be. I can't wait til spring to see him all shed out. He looks like he is going to be golden with dapples. I am ready to hit the trails with this boy.......now I have a Golden Child....lol

Critter Pics

I Wish we had more days with snow. I really enjoyed seeing it. I lived in Ohio as a kid and we had big snows. We would go sled riding and walk on the ice when the creeks froze over. We use to have a blast. We even went to school when we had snow......lol......I took some pics of the gang today so I thought I would post some.

We Blog Conference in May

I would love to be included in the We Blog Conference held in May by
3 Boys and a Dog and The Post-It Place. I think it would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about blogging. I am just starting out and so all the information I can get to better further my knowledge about blogging would be very beneficial.

As to what I could bring to the table, as a newbie to the blogging world I can bring insight as to what the beginner is looking for and where we can gain knowledge on blogging. I hope to come away from this conference with life long blogging friends and the knowledge and confidence to continue on my journey.

As a fan of the Discovery Channel I would like to thank them for this opportunity to be apart of this conference. Also I would like to thank the GlenStone Lodge for a beautiful place to hold such a awesome conference.

Snow Snow Snow

The snow has finally arrived and even tho its coming down slowly I am still tickled. Everyone is bedded down for the night with warm beds, food and fresh warm water. Jethro being from Florida has never experienced snow before so he was tickled to go out and play in it. Here is a pic of the snow at my house so far. I will post more later.

Read more about it:

The Damascene Technique. Damascene is a complex decorative technique that involves the embellishment of iron objects via the application of golden and silver threads, thanks to different procedures such as the pressure of hammering and polishing. This is a very ancient form of art originally from the Islamic part of Asia. It developed greatly in Spain during the time of the Moorish presence on the peninsula. L’izzura is currently working together with the last craftsman devoted to this technique.

L'izzura stands for luxury and elegance, glamour and also exclusivity. We believe that unique pieces made one-by-one by hand possess all these values, as they are unique and unrepeatable pieces.

Damascene is a traditional technique we have wished to recover owing to its preciousness and beauty – a genuine work of art that brings total exclusivity to our designs.

L'izzura customizes any of the items of clothing from the catalogue with sets of buttons and buckles made using this technique. Please contact us at info@lizzura.com and we will design the pieces according to your needs.

Trip to PetSmart

Saturday after Chistmas me and Amber took the babies to PetSmart. She got a new border collie puppy for her upcoming sweet 16th birthday. And of course I took Jethro and we trucked off to Kennesaw. The babies had a blast seeing all the stuff in the store and being admired by all the other pet lovers that ventured out to town with their furbabies. Jethro and Rudy got new name tags for their collars and a charm to go with them. Then they sacked out in the back seat of the tahoe and slept the whole way home.

All in a Weekends Work

This past weekend we finally manage to get the new mattress, box springs and 2 dressers delivered on Saturday morning. Woot Woot.....We are so excited about getting them. Merry Christmas to US. We did some winter cleaning while we were rearranging the room getting it ready for the new stuff. We finally got the floor tiles down and they look great. Its amazing at how much stuff you can accumulate in 21 yrs of being married and living in a single wide mobile home. So me and Earl did some winter cleaning and got rid of a bunch of stuff. Got the flooring down, the bed up, mattress and box springs in place. Manage to get the bed made and Earl just fell back on it and his response was "OMG......this is wonderful" which translates into "I did good"......lol

Made a late night run to the Walmart for a new feather pillow for me and then back home to jump in the middle of the bed.......Needless to say we slept so good. Best nights sleep we have had in years. And our backs felt wonderful. Which was the whole purpose of getting new mattresses. We went and did some Christmas shopping at Sackett's over in Jasper and picked up a few things then stopped at Bargin Barn on the way back. Finally got the horse shower curtain we had been wanting. It looks fantabulous.....lol........its slowly coming together. Still have a few other things on our list of things to do in the house to be done but we are slowly getting there. Hope ya enjoy the pics.

Murray Internal Medicine Christmas Party

Peggy, Tina, Mandy, Cindy, Robin, Dr Minor, and Me

Our wonderful Chef

Robin, Peggy, and Tina

Me and Robin

Today we had our office Christmas party and it was awesome. Dr Minor took all of us to the Japanese Steak House where we sat at this little bar and they fixed our food right in front of us. It was amazing to watch. The chef was such a character he had us laughing the whole time. I opted for steak and shrimp with a side of rice. It was the best rice I have ever had. I will definitely be going back there with Earl.

After we ate we all exchanged gifts and snapped a few pics. Dr Minor gave us all a Christmas bonus and I was very touched by mine since I am low girl on the totem pole. It really is like family working there. I wished I had went to work for them years ago. Hope you enjoy the pics.
