Danny's memorial

Prayer request

I have a prayer request for a friend I have never met but have come to know him and his family through facebook during Danny's illness. His name is William Hagar and he was diagnosed with cancer about the same time danny was only a different kind. They found a brain tumor this week and he had surgery yesterday. He is a young man 30-40 not sure. But he has been having a long hard fight this past year. His mom gets her hair cut at Anita's and so she knew of danny and his condition and she found me through facebook. I assured her we would all be praying for them!

	We went to the festival yesterday. I bought Marleigh a little bag of popcorn and gave it to her to eat on our way back to the car. In just a few minutes she was handing the bag back to me and it was empty. I knew she hadn't had enough time to eat it all and it wasn't lying on the ground. This is what I saw when I looked at the front of her stroller :D Get Kodak prints of this picture, and all your other favorites, at www.kodakgallery.com!

Monica~  LOL  That is so funny!  I love the part about the deaf cashier:)

Mom~  Check your e-mail and I have your car.  Will it lock with the keys in it?  Dad was very concerned about that.  All was fine once I learned how to put that dumb thing in reverse.  Haha  Miss you and love you.

Trish~  I sent you a text back yesterday, but I don't have very good signal at school so I don't know if it sent.  Whatever you think about Friday is fine with me.  Think about it and let me know.

Yesterday evening we went to get groceries.  Marleigh has been doing so good with her potty training.  We were in the check out lane and I was unloading the cart onto the belt.  While doing this a frozen burrito jumped out of my hand and flew up under the stand that holds the candy bars and gum.  This meant I had to get down on my knees and reach up under the stand to get the burrito.  While hoping I didn't get attacked by dust bunnies I noticed a liquid puddle at Mark's feet.  I thought this was odd because I would've noticed it when we entered the check out lane.  Immediately a light bulb went off and the pain in my stomach was confirmed when Mark checked Mars pants :{  She had sat right there and peed, didn't  mention a word about having to go.  When I say puddle it was more of a small pond.  There was someone checking out in front of us so I was trying to stand in front of our buggy so she couldn't see the floor.  At this time, no one was behind us.  After she checked out and headed out of the lane I leaned over and told the cashier he might want to block the lane off because my daughter had peed in the floor.  I was trying to be quiet and discreet.  Lucky for us our cashier seemed to be on the deaf side.  Therefore, I had to repeat myself twice and louder each time :o  At first he told me he didn't think he had any paper towels and that just helped me feel so much better.  He did end up coming across a roll and handed them to me.  He never blocked the lane off so as I get back down in the floor someone starts to push their buggy in the lane, sees me, then backs out.....whewwwwww.  I thought about trying to pass the puddle off as juice since the paper towels weren't turning yellow but I knew that would be lying and deceitful so I made sure that I didn't make eye contact with anyone.  I took her to the restroom, changed her clothes and then we were homeward bound.  After all this was over I thanked the Lord for burritos (otherwise I would have never known).    :)

Applebees? Yummy!!

Well, congratulations to all of you in Mrs. Sims' class!!!  It sounds like you are getting wonderful grades on your report cards :)  She must be a good teacher.  I'm sure she also has great students that can't wait to learn new things :)  It doesn't seem like it's been long enough for you to be getting report cards already.  Time does fly.............. I'm glad to hear you all enjoyed the field trip and have such wonderful memories from it.  Field trips are great learning experiences!!  You will have to ask Mrs. Sims' if I have permission to tell the four-wheeler story :(  If so, I will be more than glad to explain!!!  LOL  Have any of you gotten a pumpkin yet?  I hope to get one next weekend :)

Hi my name is Summer. I like to ride my horses and play with my lizard. I have three horses and one lizard. My grandmaw has a lot of cats, dogs, and cows.  Yesterday, October the fourth, I went hunting with my sister and my mom but we saw things but my sister was talking so it ran away. When I rode my horses yesterday and  I got off my horse it ran over to my mom and kicked her.



LOVE,SUMMER

Hi my name is Jordan I am 10 years old and I love football,I just can't wait till the weekend. I love to play xbox 360 it is really fun but I try not to get hooked to it because it is really fun when you get interested in it. I live in Danese. I really loved the trip yesterday we went to Grand View Park it was a big adventure to me and alot of walking haha. I really love WVU I hope they go undefeated in the big 12 this year. In Grand View Park there was this one game where you had to recycle,walk a dog and pick up fake dog poop haha. I like alot of games but the one that I mostly love was where we were at a theater and was learning how to save people if there drounding in water. Then we had to were gogles that made you seem drunk it was a really fun day for me.

Mrs. Sims mom  i would be delighted to have some kool-aid with you some  time . I want  to tell you all about the best feild trip ever!!! We all  went to Grandview .To go to the stations there it was   a  mistery .It was fun it was full of weird bugs in  part of it.But it was really  fun to see the over look if you  look  down it make  it kind of scary! When you  look down and see the train tracks  it makes a hores shoe' and if you look to your right you can see the train sitting over there.  My favorit station is the water cycle  station it was lots of  fun at that one.In Grandveiw they had parks and they were  a lot of fun.
                   love lexi

Hey its me Chance yesterdays trip was amazing! We got to make wrist bands and I got to go on stage. We got to make rain sticks and we got to see a huge water bug. When we went to the north overlook we could see everything. The one that was amazing to me was when we got to go to the north overlook. Also I got all A's on my report card.


Sincerly Chance

Hi my name is Karli this is my first time using the blog! I was sick when everybody else was using the blog. Well yesterday we went on a field trip to Grandview. And at Meadow Bridge we dont get to go on field trips that much at all. On the field trip we did a lot of cool things. Like activities about the water cylcle and how it all works and that was pretty exciting. Also I figured out what i got on my report card. I got four B's and two A's so i was really happy with those grades! Well i hope to here back from you guy's I really like the blog!:]



Love Karli 

Hi it's Allie again we had the greatest time yesterday on our field trip to Grandview.The most fun part of it was when we got to make rain sticks. We were so good yesterday that she said that she was going to take us on another trip.  I think that she is the best teacher. I almost had staight A's I had a C in SS but I am going to inprove this 6 weeks. I have a good teacher this year any other year I have ok teachers but Mrs.Sims is the best by far I am going to learn so much this year me and Mrs.Sims are related she is the best cousin ever !!



Love, Allison           Thanks for the comments .


p.s. Mrs. Sims mom when ever you ask what kind of cookies we are, we're chocolate chip yum yum !!

This is Dillon. We had a GREAT time!!  There were so many fun things to do. All the games were fun there. Greadview was so pretty with fall here, and all the fall colors.  The birds were so pretty.I had a great time .  I got all As and one  B on my Report card. It's good about Alice getting better!  I hope she fills better!        from your friend Dillone. 

Hi! It's me Michael. I went hunting on Thursday.  The resson I went hunting on Thursday is because I had a fieldtrip.  And I still want to no abot that fourwheeler wreck.  I only heard half of it.   I herd that Mrs. Sims wrecked in a pond.   Well I will talk back soon.   I am sure I will have something to talk about when I come back.

Wonderful news, Alice!

I do a Bible Study on Thursday morning with some of the girls here at work, and both of the following were in our readings today:

Psalm 103:1-3  Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy name!  Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:  Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that our youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Isaiah 53:4-5  Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows:  Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Praises be to Our Lord and Savior for the good report Alice, God is good.

"Speaking things that aren't as though they were" and they will come to pass!  Praise the Lord, Alice! Thank you Father for that good report of the Lord!

We are Praising The Lord with you!  God is good.   

~Rita~

Hello Everyone, Alice went to get the report on the ct scan today and everything was goooooood. Dr. says no more chemo. She is to go back for labs next month and will see the Dr. again in Dec. Thanks so much for all the prayers. Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.

Love and Prayers

Correction

I have to make a correction to that last post.  I just got a phone call from Mrs. Sims' class to inform me that SNOW in NOT a dirty word.  That, in fact, it is their FAVORITE word but needed expanded to SNOWDAY!  Duh, I should've known that.

~Rita~

Oh my goodness!  I am watching 59 News and he said a dirty word...SNOW.  He said it is in the northwest but it's headed our way. 

Damian~If Mrs. Sims does any cooking in the classroom, you be sure to watch over the sugar and salt.  When she was home and I would be in the kitchen cooking, she wasn't interested much, but it could've been because she was always on the phone with her friends/boyfriends!  

Michael~ Keep working on your reading...I know you can do it.  We will be looking forward to hearing about your A!!

Matthew~ Congratulations on your A's.  Maybe you can help Michael some.  Everybody needs help every now and then.  

Cullan~Do you know where Trish lives?  She has 4 dogs so you probably see them in her yard.  The biggest one is Gracie.  We would love to meet you too.

Chance~Sounds like you are very athletic.  We may see you on the Olympics someday.

Allison~What a pretty name!   You have a way with words.  You may be a journalist someday!  Mrs. Sims has an uncle who is an author.  He has written a book about our family.  I will bring it when I come down for storytime :)  David, if your reading this, get on here and say Hello.

Andrew~I'm glad to hear that you love School AND Football.  I imagine we will be watching you play for Meadow Bridge someday.  What position would you want to play, Quarterback?  

Well, I am going to get up and get busy, I've got laundry to do and I've got to pack for the trip to Lake Anna...leaving Sunday.  I cooked some roast beef last night in the crockpot so I am going to make a BIG pot of Vegetable Soup...YumYum

 
~Rita~

Trish, you are so right, a lot of 5th graders live around Dawson.  I keep a little boy who is going on 5 months old and his name is Dawson. What a coincidence!  He came all the way from California!

Matthew, you must have studied hard for your A's.  I'm proud of you that you know learning is important! It will help make your resume look gooood! Before you know it you will need a job!

Allison, "The best of the Batch?"  Sounds like she has a room full of cookies  :)  If that were so, what kind of cookies would you guys be?  Snickerdoodles?

Cullan, I have not heard your name before, it is different.  Are you named after a grandparent or someone else in your family tree?  "Your people meeting my people"  I like that, it sounds good.  What a small world we live in after all.  Our niece who is in Germany used to talk to us.  She is somehow disconnected right now tho'.

Damian, You are right about the salt and sugar.  You have to label that stuff real plain so you can tell which is which  :)  You do not want that to happen to you!

Michael, Hold on to the great times! It's cool to be just OK sometimes.  I have a lot of OK days.  I babysit several children in my home while their parents work.  Sometimes they make me smile, but other times they make me laugh out loud!  They can be soo funny!

Andrew, I'm glad you like football.  It is great exercise for boys and girls your age.  I am happy for you that school is fun for you!  I hope you have lots of friends.  You're not a prankster are you?

Chance, "Cow Town Road" huh.  I wonder how that road got it's name.  I wonder if in olden days there was a town and there was only cows who lived there.  Are you laughing yet?  I can just hear this story "Once upon a time there was a town in West Virginia and every day about 4 o'clock in the morning, way before the sun begin to rise you could hear (for miles around) the big rigs backing up to the gates of the town.  The trucks with the long silver tanks for carrying all that milk. And you know the rest of the story.  The milk had to get to all the 5th graders by 7am so they could have their cereal and make it to school on time!  You will have to make up a funnier ending to this story!
I do not know what a back walkover is. Explain please?  Is it walking backwards?

It has been great talking to you guys!

Wow!  Sounds like a lot of the 5th graders are my neighbors!  I live on Lawn rd in Dawson too!  I love the way you guys are using different colors on your blog posts.  There are lots of different and neat things you can do😮

I didn't know what they were going to do to honor danny just that they were going to.  And I didn't know that til the day before:). It was so nice!

Monica, no chandler nor preslee neither one ride.  Chandler is usually surrounded by girls by then! Lol

Hi my name is Damian Mrs.Sims is a really nice teacher and a little funny. She's always playing around with tus .Also about the kool-aid she might want to stop making it or she might mix up the salt for suger. :)         from:Damian

My name is Michael and I am in Mrs.Sims' class. She is great sometimes but other then that she okay.  And I have been doing great in math and reading, but I have to bring my reading up some..I have been doing my best to pass this grade. .Well that is all I have but I am looking forword to seeing you1   Michael.

This is Matthew. I just got strait A's!

Hi my name is Cullan.   I think Mrs. Sims is very nice I think her family might be nice too.  I am looking forward to meeting you.  I live on Lawn Road Meadow Bridge.   I hope to see you one day. My family is so nice and I think that my family is looking forward to meeting your family.

from:Cullan

Hi my name is Chance. My dad lives at Springdale and my mom lives on cow town road. I really thought the kool aid joke was funny. I can do back walkovers and front flips. Also I can do a split. My mom works at stop in at Dawson. My dad works as a truck driver and he also works at the firehouse.

Sincerily Chance

Hi my name is Allison I enjoy having Mrs.Sims as a teacher.I live in Danese WV Clara Hieghts Loops. She says she has the best of the batch we also like that we are learning. I have a feeling that this is going to be a good year .




Love

Allison

Hi my name is Andrew I love football and School.  School is the best and Mrs. Sims is good teacher.

Trish, did you know ahead of time that they were going to honor him this way? It was such a nice memory for Jacob and Tanner too.

Trish, that was sweet of them :)  Does Chandler or Presley get to ride with Shawn when he rides his bike around the track?  That's pretty neat that he does that with the flag, so patriotic!!

Bobbie~  NNNNOOOOOO! lol

That was really nice...what they did in honor of Danny.  That speaks volumes about a person.

 

~Rita~

This is a picture JW Puckett took after they presented me with the flowers Friday night.

Rita, maybe you have the picture of Mrs. Simms in Gramma's gown!  That is a hoot!

Lexi,
 I have been on your road and in the winter it is dangerous!  Once we turned all the way around in the middle of the road on a patch of black ice.  We were in our Subaru and I thought it was a safe car, but it scared me good.  But God took care of us one more time.  You used to have a lot of potholes in your road, but I think maybe they finally patched them.  I wonder why they are called "potholes!"  Maybe because they are big and deep like a pot? Ha! Ha!  What do you think?
You will have to get Mrs. Simms to show you on the map where I live.  You can actually follow the road on map quest.  I live about two hours away from you and about 30 minutes away from Virginia Tech.

Dillon,
 I'm so glad you like your teacher.  It will make the year go by sooo much better. And I'm thrilled that you want to reach for that A! It is good to set goals.  Mrs. Simms WANTS you to get an A too.  (It makes the teacher look gooood):)  I know she will do all she can to help you reach it.  Keep up the good work!  I'm rootin' for ya!  Go Dillon!

Well, Hello Everybody

It is great hearing from you all.  Lexi, if you know where I live, stop by sometime, I'll make you some GD Kool Aid and I'll fill ya in.  Sounds like your house is one full of love...That's how ours was!  Big families are wonderful.  Looking forward to hearing from the rest of the class.  Come on, don't be shy...Trust me when I say, this blog is not one for shyness.  HaHa  Let me know when you have story time.  I'll bring pictures too!!

~Rita~

LOL  Bobbie~  We all got a good laugh from that one, myself included!  I can just see grandma laughing so hard at that one.  The kids said my lack of cooking skills started early.  Haha

  

So good to hear from you Matthew! The Kool-Aid story!  Let me see.  Mrs. Simms was at her Grandmother Treadway's house I think.  She was going to make Kool-Aid for everyone.  Grandma sometimes forgets where she puts things!  Anyway she probably told her where to find the sugar.  But knowing Grandma, she probably kept the salt there too!  You know where this little story is going already.  Yep, she poured her cup of salt and Kool-Aid in the pitcher and wha-laa her Kool-Aid was ready.  She poured her glass full and took a big drink.  You should have seen that face! And then Kool-Aid was all over the place! Talking about a sour puss! It was a funny moment for the rest of us!  I can still hear Gramma laughing!!!

Hi my name is Lexi. I  enjoyed your blog very much. I live on Backus Mountain Rd  WV just like Mrs. Sims' mom.  My family is big too! I'm happy to be sorounded by my loved one though..  I  have  two brothers and a sister in law.   My brother's name is Chris and David.  I have  a niece  and nephew  and  one on the  way . Catlin is the oldest.  She is two.  Benjermen is  nine mouths old and he started to crawl a few weeks ago.  Chris said he is in to EVERYTHING he can reach. Its very funny! He is growing too fast.  Next is learning how to walk. Some of my family is out  of state too.     


      Love,
           Lexi   

My name is Dillon. Mrs.Sims is the best teacher I have ever had. I enjoy her.  I live in Dawson WV.  I think  Mrs.Sims is a good teacher.  I am trying to get an A:)                                         
                           From your friend,
                                    Dillon

Hey everyone my name is Matthew.  I am in Mrs. Sims class.  I really ejoy having her as a teacher.  I would like to hear a little bit more about you and some more stories about her.  I also already know about the 4 wheeler story.

Hey everyone, we just read the blog.  The kids were excited and they want to know LOTS of stories:)  I can't remember the Kool-aid story so you might have to fill us in on that one.  LOL  The kids will be posting a note to you as we have time today.  Have a great day!

Mom~  They want you to come in for story time!  Haha

Love you, Janet
