2010 New Year New Surprises...









Wow, does time fly. I almost forgot I had this blog. As you can see, you would think nothing new has happened. Well, last year was really busy and a lot happened. I will come back to that...

We are only a month and a half into 2010 and it has brought us a few surprises already.
I hope most of you watched the Super Bowl. What a game it was. You would have to have believed in the Saints to think they would have won, but win they did, and big time.
We are still celebrating a week later! This was a proud moment for us down on the Coast. Geaux Saints.

I can't say the year started out great. On January 1, Randy and I and his sister, Cheryl and her husband Bill, moved Mama and Daddy from Florence, Mississippi to Newton, Mississippi. It is closer to where they did live and I think they feel a bit closer to home and in an area they know well. On our way home we got a call from Cheryl and a cousin, Kathy McCall had died that morning in Oshoner's, a New Orleans hospital. She was a couple years younger than me. Randy had been very close to her in his younger days. We attended her Memorial and she is at rest now. She had been waiting for a liver transplant and something went wrong and she passed away.Kathy was a really smart and talented person. We will miss her.

Now, we have snow days as it has been really cold, at least for the Coast, and they declared today a snow day. Schools and some businesses closed. Might as well close until next week, as it is also Mardi Gras. Another reason for celebrations and parades. Seems like it is never ending. If only it would warm up a little.

I did get a new computer and I am back working on my Family Tree. Trying to get use to this 23" screen and Windows 7. Then I had to get a printer to go with my computer. Just breaking it in and I am already out of ink!
Family Tree was bought out by Ancestory.com and I bought a new version. It is so different and so much more info now. I am trying to recreate what I lost in Katrina. Maybe this time I will print it out before I lose it again! Better get some more ink.

Before I forget, Randy is going to be a Grandpa again in May. There will be another Smith to carry on the name. This time Brad and Becky are expecting a boy. We can't wait to see this little guy...
I am going to post a few pictures, as our grandchildren are getting so big. Happy New Year everyone.
