23rd Anniversary

Wow...its hard to believe that Ed and I are celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary!

We celebrated the evening by having dinner at Stoney River Restaurant. It is a great steak place a lot like Morton's of Chicago. We hadn't been there and was told it was a very nice place - in deed it was. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect.

Ed bought me a dozen yellow roses

We both bought each other a set of Sapphire anniversary rings when we were in Bangkok.

The lion, the witch and the Wardrobe

What incredible makeup and costumes! We went to watch Aaron Mays in this Rising Image Productions Sunday afternoon. He did a great job as always! Glad to have you back home Aaron!!!!!

The Boys

I had a great time seeing "The boys" before they all headed back to college. As Alex said, "Yes Mamma Q - see we all do come back!" So true.... I'm proud of them all and hope that they have a fantastic year in college.

One year has passed

Wow, can you believe that one year has passed by so quickly. I'm a second year empty nester! I don't know if I like that term, but at least I'm not crying every time I turn around.

It was so much fun having the girls home for a few days before they start school again. Jillian is staring her senior year - my how time flies, and Christie is starting her second year.

Ed and I tool off a couple of days of work to spend time with the girls, to eat, have massages, eat ice cream, go shopping, and yes eat again! We laughed and had so much fun together. I miss those days!!!!!

Tax Free Shopping Weekend

Yeah! We had a blast this weekend shopping. TAX FREE WEEKEND on clothes and school supplies. With donations form the church and special buying incentives that we had, we were able to get 420 notebooks, 42 notebook paper, 12 folders, and some pens and pencils for the working students at our Mission of Hope project. www.MissionofHope2010.webs.com

We also did some early shopping for our girls. They are both coming home on Monday to spend some time with us before school starts, but we just couldn't pass up some good deals and TAX FREE!!! Ed and I also had a lot of fun getting some last minute needed supplies for some of our "other kids" before they head back to college. We are so thankful!

High School Girlfriends

I was so excited to get together with my high school girlfriends. We hooked up through facebook and decided to get together. It has been over 16 years since we have seen each other. It was sad to learn that one of my girlfriends passed away. We had a great lunch (compliments of chef Ed on the grill with the burgers) and had a lot of fun catching up on old times.

Who's working now ?
