Trying to fix the blog

I know none of my links work and things look different...I completely messed up the blog and am trying to fix it. Hopefully will get this done over the weekend. I'm going cross-eyed trying to figure out this html code...awful!

Finally some recovered pics

Fannie and William

Fannie has been coming to my parents' house every Friday for the past 16 years. And Walks and I are lucky enough to have her every other Thursday. Fannie has watched me grow from a 13 year old teenager to a Mom and it has been so special for both of us to grow up together. She loves coming in the house to be greeted by Willie and she can't get her hands on William fast enough. I just wanted to put these pictures on here because Fannie will always be like family to us and we look forward to many more years of our sweet Fannie (and the clean house is a bonus for us). :)

Blog Stalker

You know you stalk blogs when your name gets added to a "favorites" link on another blog and the person lives in another state, whom you've never met and have no idea what their name is...
I think I'm supposed to stop leaving comments on other people's blogs, but sometimes, you just have to give your two cents!
Wow...what a weird Saturday night discovery.
BTW, I often wonder how many people stop my blog page that I have never met before...this reminds me of the "6 degrees of separation".--theoretically, everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth. Maybe one day I'll actually meet some of these people whose blogs I read.
Again, another weird Saturday night thought. I need to go to bed!

Slack blogger

Sorry I haven't posted in so long...unfortunately I don't have any new pictures to show...well, maybe one from the beach a few weeks ago. I'm headed out today for DeBordieu with the Milliken family.

I have missed a few occassions in the past few weeks.

MOM and DAD's 35th Anniversary was August 4th...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

AMANDA'S Birthday was yesterday, August 9th...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Edisto Beach FIRE 2007

Nobody ever thinks that "it" will ever happen to them. Whatever that "it" may be...in this case, it was a HUGE house fire. As you all know from my last blog, we spent last week in Edisto with the Mote family. We came home last Friday and they were planning to stay until this coming Saturday...that is until lightning struck the rental house they were staying in and it went up in flames. This happened sometime around 7:00 last night and they all got out safely. You always think of the things that you would try to grab if your house caught on fire and from what I hear those important things for the Mote/Bell family were: Emory Anne, a paci and her blanket.
Billy had gone home for the night, so the only ones in the house were Virginia, David (Virginia's brother), Gene, Haley and Emory Anne. They got out of the house, stood in the pouring down rain and watched the house go up in flames. The obviously called the fire department who quickly came, the realty company found another house for them to stay in for the night and there were some kind neighbors who let Haley wear a pair of flip-flops so she wasn't barefoot!
The Piggly Wiggly stayed open late for them to get a few essentials and they fed them free breakfast this morning when they showed up. This was probably the excitement of the year down in Edisto. Not to make light of the situation, but this could only happen to the Mote family!
They met the fire department back at the house this morning to go through and take what they could from the house. They loaded up their trailer with bag fulls of burnt, black, smokey clothes to see what they can salvage. I will update you with pictures once I get some from Haley. For anybody who may know the owners of this house, it is Joy and Bill Snyder's newly built (last year) beach house on the marsh in Edisto. They came down this morning to assess damage and see if they could get anything.
Luckily everyone is okay and we all need to realize that the "it" could happen to them.
WELCOME HOME MOTE/BELL FAMILY!!!!!!! Glad you're safe :)
