Oh Man...this is awesome, wish I had seen this 17 yrs. ago!

Weighty matters....

This morning after weighing myself I was entering my weight in my "TOP SECRET" notebook that no one BUT no one reads except me, and noticed that my weight is the same as it was last year at this time. I really need to step my exercising up I will share my endeavours. There are many beautiful places here to walk, I will start there and next week I will add some weight training....Here's to a healthier me.

Somebody call 911.....

As previously stated I am a child of the 80's and being such I have a need to get down and funky sometimes. Please excuse the "hoochieness" of this video. I LOVE this song and actually there is some incredible dancing in this video...ignore the first minute and 50 seconds then check it out! I dare you to blast this song and not feel the urge to get up and dance or at least tap your toe, it's impossible.

Mitchelley's room...kinda

Here are the walls hopefully I can get some better pictures up soon.

West Virginia Mountain Momma....

I live in West Virginia, please don't let anyone know just how beautiful it is here. If everyone else knew they would move here and we don't want that! Really, this is not a postcard, I walked down a sweet little path in the middle of a beautiful meadow and there it was this incredible view of the Shenandoah river.



Of coarse there is some historical significance to this spot which is actually a farm that was the site of a skirmsh between confederate troops led by "Stonewall" Jackson and union troops who were incredibly outnumbered. The Murphy farm has been preserved by the national park service and is one of the most beautiful, reverent places I have ever been.



You can see the cannons over to the right in this photo. The photo below shows the farm house.

WHAT????!!!!!

Does anyone out there in blog land know where one might-could find a Microwave handle for less then $130clams!!! Seriously? So much has been going on lately and I have been remiss with my blogging. I have pictures to post, fun adventures to elaborate on and the only thing I can think of writing about is how dangit-all irritated i am that a microwave handle should cost over $100. It's a piece of plastic for cryin out bananas!
WHEW...there i've said it, it's over and now I can move on...only after publicly stating that the Mayfields have a broken handled microwave and will continue to have thus so please don't be alarmed when you come over to pop popcorn!

Miriam's room..
Here is a photo of our newest family project, a slightly blurry photo at that. Miriam is very happy with how it turned out. We were on a tight budget so the biggest bang came from the "custom" paint job which I will state was a ROYAL PAIN! It's amazing how far $100 goes at IKEA. anywhooo I think it turned out REAL NICE (said with a West Virginia accent emphasis on REAL)




My Birthday Outing




For my birthday I requested a trip to Mt. Vernon. I love old houses, buildings, history, etc. Here are my sweet girls who waited in line with me for over an hour to enter the house where the father of our nation lived and died. I got the biggest kick out of President Washington's dentures...wow..some of those are animal teeth...really?? Those dentures must have weighed 10 lbs. they were super gross, he must have whistled through them alot! I mean absolutely zero dis respect, the man was a genius way ahead of his time and from all accounts very generous and giving. It was a moving experience for me. I am very blessed
Opps..Almost forgot my sweetie-pooch showing off Miriam's new rug..heehee
