Lake Martin for Memorial Day {2014}

The Friday before Memorial Day weekend we loaded up the car for a fun weekend of camping on the lake with the F@rrow Family.

Teenager and his friend, Joe, who the 2nd eldest child of the F@rrow bunch, got to the lake early afternoon. When we arrived they had all of the tents set up. The big canopy tent for us to use for shade as well as the cooking area. Since we had some of the cooking gear with us, they helped unload that and quickly took to the task of cooking dinner for all of us.

That evening we enjoyed our dinner of yellow rice with summer sausage prepared by the ever so awesome 16 year olds! Then, we just sat back and relaxed, while some of us took a dip in the lake to cool off.

Kent-ography::Week 12

Kent-ography

Kent-ography is a weekly tribute to my Dad, who lost his battle with ALS in December 2013. I wanted to feature some of his awesome photography, or as I like to call it “pics my Dad took.”

Here’s a picture from RAAM 2006. In the for ground you see the recumbent bike riders. Behind them is my Uncle Guy with the helmet and sunglasses on.

I am the Travel Tuesday Contributor over at ALWB. Nice to “meet” you! Let me know you stopped by and I will repay the visit. 🙂

1. Name & Birthday {Don’t have to include your year}
Lysha (pronounced Lee-sha) September 30

2. How long have you been blogging?
I’ve been blogging for 10 years. WOW!

3. What is your favorite part of being a blogger and why?
I love sharing my life and being able to go back and reread it. Heck, after 10 years there’s lots to look back at.

4. Why did you start blogging?
To keep family out of town up-to-date.

5. Tell us a little about your Family.
I have been married for almost 17 years. We have 2 boys. “Teenager” who is 16 and is going to be a junior in the Fall. “Monkey” is 10 and he’ll be a 5th grader

6. Where are you from?
I’m originally from Fort Worth, TX, but have been in Auburn, AL since 1996 when I transferred to Auburn University.

7. What is your greatest achievement?
When thinking of “my greatest achievement” I would have to break it down…
Personally: Marrying my wonderful husband and our 2 beautiful boys
Professionally: Earning my degree from Auburn University

8. If you could live anywhere where would it be and why?
I love Auburn and love living here. The only thing that would make it better would be if my family lived closer. However, I think it would be cool to live in Europe for awhile and use that time to travel all over that continent.

9. Favorite Movie?
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

I love too much music to pick out a favorite song. One of my favorite songs of all time is “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey.

Life Lately #2…

Life Lately

Life lately is filled with…
~~ Fun at the lake last weekend with friends for Memorial Day. Post coming soon.
~~ Stress! This week has been so stressful. I can’t talk about the details of the stress, because I never know who might be reading this. 🙂 Needless to say, through all the stress of everything I have to do what is right for my career and family, even when it doesn’t make sense to others as to why I would turn down an opportunity.
~~ More relaxed evenings now that the kids are done with school and sports, etc. for awhile.
~~ Kids going to the city pool during the day.

Life Lately #1…

Life Lately

Today I’m starting a new series that I’d like to do each week called Life Lately. This will be just random tidbits about what is going on in life. There’s always things I’d like to share, but more times than not, it’s not enough to write an entire post on. I thought doing it this way will hopefully encourage me to share those little things that usually get left unsaid. Or sometimes it may have things mentioned that will be an intro into a longer post later.
