Snow.....???? IN Louisiana :)

We live in Central Louisiana where our winters, as I explained in earlier posts aren't very cold. Well the weather people were right (it does happen) and it was snowing this evening. I got a few pictures. All I can say is "somebody call Al, and ask him how that global warming is going". Lol. Well anyways it's cold out today! I'm glad Sam is coming home from AR tonight because I don't think I'll know what to do if my pipes freeze. :)

Thanksgiving 2009

Jingles really liked the new recliner too!


Everyone got some well-needed rest during this holiday break!



Sam & His Mom, and of Sugar of Course, it is hard to keep her out of a picture.





Sam, Mom and Maw Maw after Sunday AM Church service with Bro. Tim Copeland from Buford, Ga. It was also Pastor's 6th Pastoral Anniversary. It was a wonderful service, and a wonderful time eating HOT!! gumbo.

Sam, Mom & Maw Maw

Thanksgiving Break was great, we had a wonderful time. Glad Sam's Mom & Maw Maw got to come and spend some time with us again this year!

More Pictures

Here are some more pictures that Whitney took for us. I know they aren't really all that "Christmasy" or even wintery, but In Louisiana it's hard to find a day like that sometimes. Even though I heard on the radio today that we are supposed to be having snow tomorrow, go figure. Oh well if you don't like the weather here, as the old saying goes, just wait a few minutes, and it will change. Well it just so happened on the day we had scheduled to take our pictures it was raining.... I mean pouring, and so we got pictures on a typical rainy winter Louisiana day. We even took some pictures at the bookstore to try and get out of the rain for a little bit.

Day After Thanksgiving Activities

Here's the action at the Stegall home after a meal on Thanksgiving, and what occurred the Day after.

Christmas Pictures-By the "Famous" Whitney Merritt!

Whitney took some pictures for us, so that we could pick one to put on Christmas cards for this years cards. I'll post some more on here after we send some out, but here is a cute one that she took of us on our "photo shoot"! It was pouring rain this day, and we had an umbrella in most of the pictures. By the end of the afternoon we were almost completely soaking wet, but it was fun! Louisiana winters are more wet than cold, but it makes for some different pictures.

Veteran's Day (Belated)

I really wanted to post something for Veteran's Day, but couldn't do it on the actual day, so here it is, belated. First, THANK YOU! To all of our servicemen and women who fight so diligently to allow us to keep our freedom as Americans! To those that are related: Mom and Dad (US Navy) Aunt Carol & Uncle Dan (US Air Force) , My husband Sam (US Marine Corps) If I am leaving anyone out, I am sorry, but Thank you Thank you for your Service. I pray for our troops who are daily in battle with an enemy whose main desire is to destroy the freedoms, and system that has made this country so great. I am deeply saddened by the fact that the wars seem to be raging more and more from within as well as from without, but the Lord knows them that are His! God Bless you and America!

Blog Neglect

I know it's been a while, but we have been so busy lately...well what's new right? So I figured I would post something, just anything. Update on life: Our church has finished the major part of our remodeling...woo hoo! See pictures @ http://www.truthwaychurch.blogspot.com/ or http://www.truthwaychurch.com/. We have been in the new building for almost 2 years now, and it's been a great blessing. Sam is finishing up his semester at Wesley. I am working working working. And that seems to be about it. The holiday time is quickly approaching, and I will try to be more consistant with my posting.
