We visited the wind mills today. The trees and sky were beautiful!

The motorcycle is Bobbie Shawn's and of course that is the flag on the back of it. He rides before every home game out on the field;)

Friday night at greenbrier west ballgame was senior night and after the seniors were recognized they remembered danny with a very nice speech. Tanner escorted me in front of the field and the principal presented me with this bouquet of roses! Danny would've loved it:)

Monica~  Thank you for being so kind:) 

Rita, there are times I must refrain from all I know :)  LOL

Wow!  You guys are great!  The kids haven't seen your posts yet, but they will view it first thing Monday.  Yesterday was homecoming so we ran out of time.  I can see that I should have put stipulations on your posts.  Haha No stories from anyone.  I will post a link for you to look at theirs but I am still getting approval right now.  I am going to have them post on ours if I can.  Not sure if that is possible, but I think they can just go in under my name.  They are so excited!  The kids saw our family picture and said, "That's a big family."  I told them that wasn't even everyone.  Thanks again for your participation:)

Teresa and Steve, Love all of your pictures. They are so good! 

Monica, I was just SURE you had some kind of story to share with Mrs. Sims class!!  I was sooo looking forward to it.

~Rita~

Hello Mrs. Sims' class!!!  I am one of Mrs. Sims' many cousins.  I live in VA.  I know you must be getting exciting for fall to be here.  The trees looks so beautiful when the leaves start changing color.  I hope you all enjoy the experience of creating a blog :)  And remember, spell check is your friend!!

Teresa, love the pics.  We might have to take a visit to the train depot :)

Janet, Could you post us a message from your class....  Maybe some of their comments. And if anyone else posts them a message, tell them where you live.  Could you post the link to their blog so we can follow it?

~Rita~

Hey there Mrs. Sims 5th grade class!  This is her mom.  I'm so glad you are looking in on us.  I think that you have a good teacher, (But of course, I could be partial).  She does want you to learn so that you can succeed in life.  She cares about each one of you and wants to see you happy and healthy.  I hope she isn't a mean teacher. LOL  She is from a large family so she will have fun explaining to you who all these people are.  Have fun learning how to make a blog and just maybe, you can make one for your family.  I think they would love it.  Most of us uh...older folks are not tech saavy and I didn't think I would get on a BLOG, but it has turned out to be a very good thing and I found out it wasn't that hard...I'm still not going to get on Facebook though!!

Teresa, your family is beautiful!  I can't pick a favorite.  They are all soooo good.

Pssst~ If you, (Mrs. Sims class) want to know anything about Mrs. Sims, I can tell you all kinds of stories!!!

~Rita~

SHOUT OUT  to Mrs. Simms Class!  HELLO from Dublin, Virginia!

I am soo excited for you!  Having a blog of your very own.  I like our blog because it lets me talk to all of my family at one time!  I love it when they all put their two cents worth in :)  Another reason I like our blog is that we get to see pictures of everyone!  Did you see the newest little addition to our Treadway Family.  He is soo handsome!
I also know that Mrs. Simms is a great teacher with loads of patience!  You are blessed to have her!  Being kin and all, boy the things we could tell you about her. . . . . Maybe we will chat again sometime.  I'll be listening for news of what you are doing!

P.S.  Pssst . . . Ask her about the Kool-Aid that didn't taste so so.   Or maybe the pond incident (scary but funny)

Mrs. Sims' Fifth Grade Class

Good Morning, Class:

I am one of Mrs. Sims' many aunts.  Mrs. Sims is an excellent teacher, and I am sure you will have a lot of fun blogging!

Hello Mrs Sims 5th grade class!  I am Mrs Sims Aunt Trish and creator of The Family Blog!  Welcome and I hope you enjoy reading about our family!  But more importanly I hope you enjoy creating your own blog!  Its super fun:)

Mrs. Sims

Hey Everyone, I am showing my fifth grade class our family Blog.  If you have time, will you post a message for them.  We have a blog of our own and we will begin using it next week.  Hope everyone has a wondrful day:)  Love you, Janet   

Monica, I did not know Emily or her family very well, although I am told that one of the father's brothers will be taking their son to live with him.  He IS local.  I understand that both families agreed that this would create the least unheavel in the son's life.  We took up a collection here and the father's work is doing the same.  The local news came here and also went to the father's workplace and did a special interest story appealing to the community for help.  There has been an account set up at a local bank to accept donations on the son's behalf.  Very sad indeed.

In 2008 another of our employees died leaving two young boys.  The husband later committed suicide with drugs, as I recall, leaving the two boys with their grandmother.  One is 18 and the other 15, and I was told last week that the grandmother's cancer has returned.  Another very sad situation.  Makes one wonder how people can make it without God, doesn't it?

Ruth, that is such tragic news.  I hate it for the whole family especially the son.  Is there family members that he can be placed with so he can still be around familiar people?

Another sad day at The Cadle Company - One of our employees, Emily Danes, and her husband were coming home from dinner and a movie celebrating their anniversary Friday night and a car on the wrong side of the road hit them head on and killed both of them instantly.  They lived out our way on County Line Road and the accident happened on South Canal before you get to County Line.  The man who hit them had had three OVI's and they suspected that he was again driving impaired, although the toxicology report has not come back yet.  They have a little boy who is seven (his birthday was Saturday I am told).  Please pray for their families.

Olivia, you are indeed lovely!

I scrapbooked some pics from Labor Day weekend, put them in frames and Mark hung them in our bedroom.  Trish, you'll have to let Tina and Clarence know that their beagle made it on my wall :)  The pics in the frame with the blue background were taken up at their house :)  It is so beautiful up there.  The other frame is of Mar and her s'more at the fire pit :P

Olivia, you are gorgeous! A little Janet! And yes, that dress was waiting there just for you! Soo pretty in blue.  Keep it in your closet, little Marleigh looks good in blue too =)  Which one of them did win?

Olivia is beautiful!!  She should have won 1st :)  I must say I noticed the makeup as well but I was thinking, "I bet that's Mary Kay" lol.

The first thing Blain said was,"Is that make-up on her face? She's
too little to be wearin' that!" Oh, so much the papaw!!
Isn't she beautiful! I found her dress at the Thrift store for
$29.50. When Janet came to look at it, she found that it was half
price! So she got it for 14.75. I thought she was the prettiest one
there ;) And one of the school colors is royal blue!
Bobbie, God DOES know exactly what we need!

Olivia didn't win, but she certainly had a good time:)  She gets to ride in the Homecoming Parade next week. 

Monica~  Really?  Good thing I Love you!  Haha

Yes, I like how you opened up the walkway into the kitchen.  It seems to invite the company on in where the food is!  But I bet it turns into a runway for those little planes of yours!  Laken would love it.  He is my little runner and I threaten him, but he don't seem to care one bit!  He is not afraid of his  "Mimi."  With the cold weather coming tho' the light in that room is soo good for playing long hours. I wish you contentment with your little ones while you job hunt.  God has something out there for you if that is your heart's desire.  Situations force us all to adapt sometimes, but we come from a good stock of adaptors!  Just remember "you are the head and not the tail!"

Bobbie yes the couch and chair are in the front sitting room. I decided with just me and Jacob and the dogs we didn't need so many rooms to sit. He liked all the changes yesterday evening when he came in. The big dogs only come in of the evening now mostly for my company. They sniff around then go straight to bed. They will be a more permanent fixture when the weather turns cold. Danny told me all the time the dogs needed to stay out and as soon as the temps started to drop he would tell me to bring them in.... They were his big babies as much as mine, and I don't have to tell you all what a big teddy bear danny was;)
The big dining room is kid friendly, lots of room to run tractors or have tea party's!

Trish, everything looks so wonderful!!  What do the animals think of the new arrangements?  You know you can always call any of us to have a shoulder to lean on :)  Janet, if you drive like you cook I don't think it's going to matter what your in LOL.  Love you bunches :)  :)  :)  I read the news posting and they showed that guy on the news last night.  It is a much smaller world than we think sometimes haha.  Have you guys been watching The Great American Bible Challenge?  I love that game show.  It shows me how wrong I can be when time is an issue lol.  It's great to hear from everybody.  Love to all :)

Trish~  I enjoyed reading your post!  I can just see Danny rolling his eyes at three Treadway women trying to decide who is the boss and mumbling under his breath.  LOL   I miss him all the time!

For all of you Dodge fans, Shawn and I were racing up Sewell Mtn the other night and I got left behind.  You get excited, but since I was in a Ford I guess that's not really saying much!  I'll be in my truck the next time:) 

I will post pictures after tomorrow night of Liv as she runs for Little Miss Wildcat.  She didn't win, but she is so excited to get all dressed up!    

Trish your floors and decor look wonderful!  I wish they could come to my house next! :)  I really do need those organizing people to drop by our place! 
I'm glad that you had an uplifting day out to eat!  Hang on to these good memories that you guys are making together.  Did I see your two sofa's in the one sitting room off of your bedroom now?
And we don't know that Danny doesn't see your shiny new floors!  I know that he would be happy for you.  I can just hear Daddy telling Danny "Now if she would just keep those dogs outside!"  and Danny laughing and saying  "That would be like telling her to keep her kids outside, she loves her dogs!!!"  I'm just funnin',  I love ya Trish

Trish, your floors look wonderful, and im sure you were glad to get the help, and yes, Rita and Tresea are like a tornado, when it comes to getting stuff done , its best to stay out of thier way and let them have at it :)and enjoy it. love you and am praying for you , and let you know its ok to cry. only God can heal a broken heart.

See how shiny! It all looks like that!

Some of the pictures didn't turn out very good but you get the gist of it:)

Sad to say Monica but I don't have much to say so I just don't say anything.  I can brag on rita and Teresa though.  They came over to help me strip the wax from my floors in the DR and kitchen and put new wax.  We started yesterday at 8:30 and finished about 3:30.  It looks sooooo good.  Sure wish Danny could've seen it.  I have had the stripper and wax for 4 years and kept telling him I was going to do it and never did.  Looks like new floors.  We of course had to take all the furniture out and I am here to tell ya that those two can move about anything.  While it was all out we of course didn't miss the opportunity to rearrange stuff.  I am going to take pictures and put up.  They came back this morning to help me put everything back.  Next week I am going to tackle my carpets and shampoo them if the weather is warm.  After we finished moving furniture today we went to Alta for lunch and  boy was it good.  We even had time yesterday to squeeze in Madea goes to Jail while the floor dried. I haven't started looking for a job yet but will soon before the end of the year.  I am babysitting a couple days a week for Sybil and that sure fills my day!  Aaron and Andrew are trying to get the hang  of the potty!  All I can say is there is never a dull moment with those two!
We did have an armed and dangerous man loose in Rupert last night.  He was actually up the road that shawn and Kelly live on. He apparently robbed a bank in roanoke yesterday and how in the world he ended up in greenbrier county is a mystery to me but they caught him this afternoon and to my knowledge there was no one hurt.
Please continue to say a prayer for me and the kids.  I miss danny so much....I can't say that it has gotten easier because it hasn't.  Everything I do or see  reminds me of him.  The tears come often and the heartbreak is deep and I don't know how one gets over that or if they do
Love to all
Trish

Thanks Skonica! 
Mom, You must not have received the memo that I turned 25 today!  LOL 

Happy Birthday Skanet!!!

Happy Birthday, Janet!!  32 BIG ones.

~Rita~

Monica, You are too funny.  I AM going to make this, I have the peppers out of my garden and I cooked the beans, But I need to get some celery.  I think I have eaten it before but I'm sure I will like it.  I guess everybody is just busy or have nothing to say.  Our high here today is going to be 63 degrees.  Whoo Hoo.  I'm thinkin' it is time to build the fire in the basement.

~Rita~

So, I'm guessing the recipe made everyone sick or yal are just way to busy to be chatting ;)  Where is everybody???  Helloooooooooo.............
