7 Random Facts

Hmmm.....I think my life is an open book....I'm not sure if I can come with 7 things about myself that none of you know. But, here goes:
1. When I was in high school I played a bird in a school play...I had to whistle a song.
2. I have sung songs in at least 8 different languages (English, Spanish, French, Creole, German, Hebrew, Latin, one of the languages from a South African Tribe).
3. I have sung in Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Disney World, Hobe Sound Bible College and various other places.
4. I used to sing women's barbershop (and loved it)!
5. I am in Pennsylvania tonight! :o)
6. I have 11 nieces and nephews plus 5 more "adopted" nieces and nephews.
7. I am the youngest of 5 children and my (much) older sis has a blog too. :o)
8. I am an overachiever! (tee hee, just kidding) I only put a #8 so I could be sure and tell you my name is ShaRRon with 2 R's just my mom's way of making sure I am noticed!

Ketchup Day!

Wow! It really hasn't been THAT long since I've posted, but I sure have lots to tell about and lots of pictures to post! I think this is going to be at least a 2-parter. :o)




Last week we had the opportunity to pick up a load in St. Petersburg, FL and I remembered that one of my "blogger buddies" lives in that area. YEA! So, I called up Jennifer and asked if we could meet her for lunch. She accepted my invite and we got to spend some time visiting with her and her new son, Evan. Jennifer and I went to college together, so we had a good time reminiscing and catching up. Tim and I really enjoyed getting to hold Evan, too. He's such a sweet, friendly baby.
We left Florida and headed back north to Philadelphia. Since our delivery was only 90 miles from Mom and Dad's we, of course, headed over there for the weekend.


One of my cousins was passing through the area Friday night and needed to pick up something from Dad, so Tim and I drove the item out to the interstate and met up with her. Since it was the middle of the night, I didn't take any pictures of the adults in the group, but I did get one of my cousin's baby, James. He was such a cutie pie! :O)


Saturday, we went over to my brother's workshop. He is getting into woodworking and has just started learning how to make dove tail joints. He gave us a step-by-step demonstration. I have put in an order for bookcase! I can't wait too see how that's going to turn out!

A Fun Weekend

We were able to spend this past weekend in Lebanon, PA with my family. I'm always excited when that works out! We got in Friday night just in time to have dinner with Mom and Dad. Then, Saturday we met my brother, Jamie and his fiancee, Jennifer for lunch at the Olive Garden (yum!). He's looking much different these days...


BEFORE


AFTER (See, he cleans up nice)

Saturday afternoon we went by the GMC's Sunday School picnic. We enjoyed watching the children play. I can't believe how much my nieces and nephews are growing.
Kevin and Austin were playing football.

Jeremy, Katlyn and Carissa were having fun with relay races.

Phillip and Randy were having fun "fishing".

Noelle really enjoyed the bounce house. :o)


Nathan had fun watching all the action.


I had more pictures to post (some of the adults in the family), but alas my battery is about to die. I'll try and get those posted in the next few days. (I know you'll all be holding your breath until then).
And now, off to Jacksonville, FL.

PS I also have to wait to post the pics of Noelle and Randy due to SLOW internet connection.

New Hampshire VS. New York City

We were in scenic New Hampshire last weekend. They have a beautiful lake and some pretty mountains. We really enjoyed the view! :o)





Then, Sunday night we headed into NYC. If you like buildings and skyscrapers...this place is for you. Late Sunday night is a great time to avoid traffic snarls, but it is a bit difficult to find a place you can park to sleep for a while. When we woke up we saw this lovely truck parked right in front of us and a van was snugly parked behind us...we weren't going anywhere until one of them decided to move.




We picked up not far from St. Patrick's Cathedral, so we walked down and took a few pictures. It is a beautiful old church!



We were picking up from the 9th floor of the Rockerfeller Center! Not something we will consider doing again. It was very difficult to say the least.




The only redeeming factor...right across the street was this wonderful store. I had to take time out for a treat!

Saint Louis, MO

Sorry I have been away so long. Sometimes it seems we get internet every day, then other times it's close to a week in between. Oh well, if that's our only problem, it's a very small one! :o) We are here in good ol Missouri. We're actually in Troy, MO this morning. We were able to visit Bob and Shar Spleen last night and they graciously invited us to spend the night and freshen up here. (Thanks SO much for being so hospitable, Bob and Shar). We had a wonderful visit. Unfortunately we kept them up very late gabbing...they are both probably mighty tired today. :o)
This afternoon we will be on our way to VA...just outside of DC (Amber, where are you??) God has been very good to us. We have been keeping very busy lately.
We did have some excitement the other day. We picked up a load in NYC at the Rockerfeller Center...I'll post some pictures soon. Have I mentioned before that NYC is not "trucker friendly"?

Happy 25th Bruce and Donna!

Some friends from our church celebrated their 25th anniversary this past weekend. Tim and I were glad we were able to be home so we could join in their celebration. Bruce and Donna Henman have been a huge help to our church over the years. Donna is always there to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever she is needed. Bruce has been driving the bus for a long time! He does such a great job and is faithful to be there week after week. Their son, Heath comes to Sunday School each week and is a very special member of his class.
Congratulations Bruce and Donna!

And we do WHAT for a living??

We were out and about last Friday in our van, and we had Sabryn Schenck with us. She is such a card! :o) We were on some pretty curvy, hilly roads, and she piped up from the back seat: "Uncle Tim, I'll give you a quarter if you slow down...no wait...a dollar!"
I took the picture a little later when we were actually going much slower, but it went so well with the story I just had to post it.


I also have some pictures to post from Bruce and Donna's 25th anniversary party, but in order to have internet access I'm having to sit in a very cramped smelly place....so I think those pictures will have to wait a bit. Sorry! :o)

Home Again??

Can you believe we were home TWO weekends in a row?? We were so surprised to get a load offer taking us right to Bentonville, AR last Thursday! We are now on our to Virginia and I need to get back on the road, but I'll try to get online tomorrow to post more about our fun visit home. :o) (I have a funny story complete with pictures)
