Trish ,I love the new background, Looks like spring and good old country., we will be praying for every one today . hope all is well.
Our new background is called Come To The Table.  When I think of Easter, I always think of our get togethers and eating.  Mommy would start right after Christmas practically with her store list and who was coming and what are we going to EAT! That was always her worry.  So I thought this background was fitting.  The little blinkie on the side is  for fun!  LOL
I know what grandpa would say, "Where are all of my clocks?"  Lol  Grandma would love it:)  

I forgot to post this on the blog for a few of you who took part in the teasing of Steve (Tanner, Emily, Monica, Andy, ect.)  I went up there the other day and YES he actually had suspenders on.  He sure is doing a good job filling grandpa's shoes.  It drew me back to reality when he talked about taking two of those trees and making them into a jungle- gym.  I quickly realized it was still Steve.  If he has us all out there picking up rotten apples, we'll have to tell him he has gone too far! 

Trish~  Matthew called me this morning and said that he was telling the kids good-bye, but they just kept on trucking it through the house.  He said that Olivia talked the whole way there about their "secret" for Easter.  Guess they were excited.  Hope they went back to bed for you.  I'll call you later to let you know what the plan is. 

I am at school and getting ready to go to the funeral.  Please remember my dad, Vanessa. Chet, the girls, and grandma & grandpa in your prayers today as well as the rest of the family.  I know today will be hard for everyone.  

As I was reading what Trish wrote, I thought about the time (or times) when Cindy, Trish and I were on the Ferris Wheel at the Fair.  I think we went to the "The Whites"?  

Anyway, Hope you all have a good day!  Love to you all:)

Teresa the house looks really good! I think mommy would love it. You did her proud. Not sure what daddy would have to say:) lol

It's unreal about Cindy. She and I became good friends when rita and blain hooked up. We were close in age and we liked a lot of the same things. Of course as we grew older we grew apart but whenever we would see each other at ritas and Blains for get togethers we would always catch up. She truly loved her family. I am so glad they came back to the church. Chet will really need them now and cindys family too since he doesn't have many of his own left. Not sure if many of you know this but chets aunt is married to Juanita Treadways brother, Lawrence. Her name is Norma and they moved back to the Patterson home place several years ago but then sold it to Donna and murrel.
Looks like Cindy will have a beautiful day to go home to heaven and I bet mom and dad will be there to show her around and will put a big spread on the table. I am pretty sure dumplins will be on the menu, because as I recall, Cindy liked home cooking:)

I have the pleasure of being entertained by Olivia and Kaiden today. They just got up and we are all in my bed watching COAL. They are finding it quite interesting.

Michelle I am enjoying all of your family on facebook. I can't wait to see more pictures of Joe in Afghanistan. And seeing Tarin in prom dresses? I didn't realize until I saw how grown up she is going to the prom that Tanner is only a year and a half older than her! Will Joe get to come home after his accident? Is he still recuperating? Back to work?

Monica it sounds like your "little one" isn't so little anymore. Already a toddler, walking and talking, next thing you know SHE will be picking out her prom dress!

Julie how are you doing? My feet are giving me fits but seems to be tendons and muscles, not so much bones. I have been doing physical therapy and that seems to help.

Well better get breakfast, we are having chocolate chip pancakes! Yum
Vonda- my islands top is glass tiles they are small little squares that are random in color but they are put on a backing that makes them a 13" x 13" sections so it wasnt as hard as it looks. Steve just put a thin set on it and put the tile sections on and dark grout on it. I think it turned out great. Hope everyone is doing ok. Love you all!

Matthew & I told Olivia and Kaiden about Cindy the other night and Olivia being the worrier that she is, looked very concerned until I told her that Cindy was in Heaven.  She pondered for a minute and then smiled and said, "I bet she is with Grandma Treadway.  Maybe they are having dumplins:)"    

I wanted to share another miracle with you all that happened the other evening.  I had gone up to Steve's to get some furniture the other day and I am pretty sure that he stuffed as much as he could in the empty drawers as I was leaving.  He denies, but I am not so sure.  Anyway, we were all having a good laugh at all the things that papaw kept.  Several days later, I was going through the thousands of greeting cards that ended up in the drawers, and out fell a picture.  As most of you know, I only knew my biological grandparents for a short time and have very few keepsakes or pictures of them.  Well, guess what that picture was of?  My grandpa!     

Cindy's Services

Services for Cindy will be Wednesday at the church in Danese.  The funeral will be at 2:00 and the viewing is from 12:00-2:00.  She will be buried at the Harrah cemetery on Backus Mtn.  I will post the obituary when it comes out in the paper...should be tomorrow.

Rita and Blain, I,m really sorry to hear about Cindy let us know if we can do anything. I'll get Steve right on cooking you anything you may need. Ha/Ha Really if you need anything just let us know and please blog the wake times and place. We love you all and hope to see everyone soon.
God Bless
Rita, we hadn't been on the blog in a while. Please know you are all in our prayers. Please extend our condolences to Blain and the family, Timmy & Cindy

We would like to announce our Wedding to the family. We are to be married Thursday April 7th, 2011. We have planned a small informal ceremony at the church in Radford which Tim and Steve helped build. Pastor Dallas Vines is going to do the ceremony.

At this point in our lives, we didn't feel the need for a big ceremony, it will be just the two of us with Kelsey as a witness. Keep us in your prayers as we start out on this wonderful journey together. We love you all, Timmy & Cindy

Cindy passed this morning at 6:45. Her BP had dropped through the night continuously and the family went on to the hospital and Chet decided to go ahead and take her off of the ventilator. The family was all with her when she passed. I will let you know when the arrangements have been made. Thank you all for the Prayers.
