My Garden and Flower Bed

Just thought I would send a few pics of the Garden and my Elephant Ear plant in the Flower bed. I took this like a week ago and since all the rain, they have grown sooo much and my pepper plant has lots of blooms. So, I will keep you guys updated. I also have some Sunflower plants coming up, but they are boring right now, I will send pics when they bloom, they should be reddish/organge. Love you!

Easter Weekend 2009

Hope everyone had a great Easter! I went to Dallas for the Easter weekend and I was off on Good Friday, I have not been off on Good Friday in like 5 years, it was great! Jason and I went to the Dallas Zoo on Friday, it was a pretty day and you know me took pics, below are a few of my favorites. Friday afternoon, Jason and I went to his Church for a Good Friday Service, a time to look back on the events that happened on Good Friday (the day we call Good). I had never been to a Good Friday Service, but it was awesome, it was a quiet, somber service, reflecting back and thanking our Savior for the events that happened on that Good Friday. There was the Lord's Supper and just a time to reflect and pray. We watched a video at the end that made reference to "This is Friday, but Sunday's a coming" I loved it! I think a lot of times we just pass right through Good Friday, not even realizing our Jesus, suffered, bleed and died on the cross for ALL our sins! Wow! I often wonder what it was like on that day, the bible talks about geographical things that happen, during the day, it became dark, earthquakes and the curtain was torn.... I wonder how many people including me, many of Good Fridays in the past, just went through the day never thinking once about what went on thousands of years ago on that hill....



The rest of the weekend was very relaxing and Easter Sunday was great!! No hunting Easter eggs, but Church and lunch at Pappadeaux's was delicious. Well until next time! Love you all!

Jason loves taking pics for Tabby, NOT.

One of my favorite animals!

The closest I have ever been to a Gorilla, he was chillin!

Tour Dallas 2009

It's been a while! Hope all is well. Thought I would post a few pictures from my recent bike ride this past Saturday in Dallas. Thanks to my wonderful, boyfriend who got up with me Sat morning at 5:30am to prepare for the Bike ride. He also drove me to downtown Dallas, so that I would not have to go by myself. I would have been nerve racked driving downtown Dallas by myself, early before a bike ride. Below are several pics from the ride. There were several routes, 8,20, and 30 mile routes, I chose the 20 mile. I wanted to start off the season slow, then work my way up.

Hope everyone is doing well and want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!! Will be posting soon!!

Tabby's Mini Garden!

Check out the mini garden that Mom and I made on Saturday. This is mom resting, we did not do any "Tommy" or "Jason" measuring we just used the bricks to guide our shoveling. Once we finished I planted some banana pepper plants. Later, I will plant some of my herbs that I am growing inside, Cilantro, Parsley and Chives. I also want to plant some tomatoes, so I will keep you all posted. Until then, love you all!

Baton Rouge Weekend

Hey, Hey, it's been a while since I posted a blog, it's about time! Hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to post some of these pics from my weekend in Baton Rouge, they are from my phone, so they are not the best quality. Jason flew into New Orleans and I was in Baton Rouge for DAC, the boys were going to stay in Baton Rouge, so stayed. These pics are from our trip to USS KIDD, I remembering going to this when I was a kid, but did not really remember anything from it! It was attacked April 1945 and I believe 38 was killed on the ship. Here are some pics. Of course the 1st one is Jason and Myself being silly! Hope everyone had a great weekend, love you all and will be blogging soon!

I don't think Jason could have made it on the ship walking through these tight squeezed doors.

Their beds, not a lot of room!

Jason's San Diego/Mexico Trip

It's been a while!

Just wanted to send out a blog letting everyone know, I'm still alive, I know I have not written in a while. I have been very busy, and well I don't have internet at the house anymore, so all the internet stuff must be done at work, and when it's time to go home, I'm ready to just go home!! Below, I posted a pic of my new hair cut, I decided I needed some bangs, and I kind of like them. Also, you will notice, below, there are some pics of me during the holidays, one day Jason and I went on a bike ride. I love riding bikes, that day we rode like 10 miles. I cannot wait until it gets bike season, well a little warmer, that is....

I have just been interpreting, interpreting, interpreting and lots of work. Busy, busy, welcome back to the DAC! Wooohooo! Having lots of fun and loving it all, tired, but loving it! Just thought I would drop a little note and let all you know I love you! Hopefully soon, I will get some of Jason's pics he took while he was in Mexico and I will post them, he also recently flew to SD, California Zoo. So until then. Peace, Love, Chicken Grease. Love you all and God Bless!

New Hair Cut, bangs!

I love to go biking!

Christmas 2008

Christmas in Wellston, Oklahoma! Well, I know it has been a while since I have written! The holidays have kept me very busy and on the go! Christmas in Melder, was great as always! I had a great time with Mom and Dad. Went to Alexandria for some last minute shopping with Mom and to the Deer Camp that night to feast on Bambi Bites (don't you want to know). Jason and I left for Oklahoma from Dallas on Wed Christmas Eve. We had a great time with his family and here are a few pics below from Christmas in Wellston, Oklahoma! You will notice the pics of the pond, the water is very low and the beavers are at it with all their chopping!! Clancey had a great time jumping in the pond and retrieving anything that Jason threw into the pond, small and large (trees) sticks, even though the pond had ice on it, Clancey still fetched! You will also notice one pic where we are dressed up, that is at Jason's company Christmas party in Dallas, just thought I would put that one in the mix! Hope everyone had wonderful holiday memories and Have a Happy New Year. I will be posting more soon. Love you all!

Back to Work!

Hello! I know it has been a while, I have been really busy getting acclimated to my new world. I am back working at the Betty Leonard Phillips Deaf Action Center of Louisiana. I am the Director of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI). I interpret and the rest of day, I promote, meet, present our new service VRI. It's great working again at a job that you love, I once again wake up each morning loving and excited to go to work. I know this is just a stepping stone to many more wonderful opportunities. We are scheduling presentations at governmental estab, colleges and many other places, trying to promote our 24 hrs a day / 7 days a week - Internet interpreting service. Well, I will keep you all posted on all the details. You can visit www.deafactioncenter.org to see what VRI is all about.

I will be coming home this weekend and spending some time with my family for Christmas! Next week, Tues afternoon I will be headed to Dallas, and hopefully Wed, headed to Wellston, OK to visit the Turnbull's for Christmas! If I do not see you, I love you and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! Lets all remember that if it wasn't for Jesus, we would not be having Christmas. Just a thought as I was putting up my Christmas Tree, I thought to myself wow the Christmas Tree leads to another Tree, the Cross. Ummmmm something to ponder on.

Love you!
