HAPPY NEW YEAR, WELCOME CASEY AND LECIA TO THE CRAZY LARGE BELL FAMILY. WE SAW BRENNEN THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS POOR GUY DIDNT FEEL GREAT BUT WAS PRETTY GOOD , I HOPE HE LIKES MY STUFFED ANIMAL. A LAUGHING ANIMAL SOUND LIKE A BABY LAUGHING. I THINK HE DID LIKE IT ONE TIME BEFORE HE STARTED CRYING AGAIN. MY CHRISTMAS WAS VERY GOOD TILL I STEPPED INTO MY SATURATED CARPET IN MY CLOSET. THEN I LOCKED MY CAR IN MOMS DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS. BUT LORD SAVED ME FROM A LOT OF MONEY 3 TIMES. 3RD MY COMPUTER WAS FIXED ON ITS OWN. MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2010 IS BE MORE SAVEY IN HOME REPAIR, STOP PROCRASTING AND MOST IMPORTANT BECOME CLOSER TO GOD AND KNOW HIM BETTER. BARNEY LOVED HER CAT NIP SCRATCHER STILL DOESNT LIKE HER BALLS WILL PROBABALY BE GETTING HER A SISTER NEXT WEEK WHILE SHE IS STILL FRIENDLY AND PLAYFUL AND YOUNG.

BOY WHAT A BEUTIFUL HALLOWEEN. TEMPS IN THE SEVENTYS CLOUDY AND SOME SUN. I WAS DETERMINED TO WALK. KYLE SAID THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARK WOULD BE A PRETTIER WALK. HE WAS RIGHT BUT I KEPT GOING AND GOING AND GOING. THOUGHT THE LOBLOLLY TRAIL WAS GOING TO END SOON. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT MUCH TRAP POND. 90 PERCENT OF THE TRAIL I WAS ALONE. I MET SOME PEOPLE AND THEIR DOG AND ASKED HOW LONG UNTIL I GOT BACK TO THE CAMP THEY SAID A HALF HOUR. I THOUGHT I AM SOOO TIRED I AM NOT WALKING ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR. I PICKED UP SPEED. WHICH I WAS ALMOST TROTTING I WAS REALLY WALKING FAST. SO FAST I MISSED THE TURN AND ENDED UP ON A ROAD. I TURN LEFT AND AFTER 5 MINUTES I CALL NORA. SHE SAID I SOUNDED LIKE I WAS ALMOST THERE. THE TRAIL IS 3.3 MILES I LATER FOUND OUT. I THINK I DID AT LEAST 3.5 IN 1 AND 1/2 HOURS. ONLY STOPING TO TAKE PICTURES AND TIE MY SHOES. THINK I DID VERY WELL CUASE MY HIP MUSCLES ARE BURNING. BACK TO CAMP FOR THE COSTUME PARADE AND TRICK OR TREAT AND CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP ROLLS AND CHILI. THEN HOME. EVERYONE ELSE IS STILL THERE. THERE IS A BEUTIFUL FULL MOON TONIGHT. I JUST SAW ON THE MAP THERE IS THE 1.2 MILE LOPLOLLY TRAIL I DIDNT FIND THAT ONE HA HA.

my sympathys to the macklin family in the death of uncle hump. i only hope it was peaceful. he was very nice every time i saw him and could tell he was a great guy. much love shown for patty and jake and adam, they all loved him very much. please let me know if there is anything i can do. may the sunsets bring peace and comfort. sunsets to me gives me peace and joy it makes the problems of life disappear for a few moments. the portrait session is canceled again her son has pnemonia. but she insist to rescedule with me.

aww the beauty of fall colors against dads barn. barney and i went for a walk yesterday. we visited murphy macklins grave sorry patty maybe smokey and murphy and susie are playing together and no more hissing. if the weather holds and nothing else comes up i will be doing another set of portraits with shannon and her familywith her brother and his family at the salisbury zoo park on halloween. thanks shannon for you confidence in me. then to trap pond for halloween dinner and trick or treat.

rest in peace sweet smokey, you were always special to me you should be thankful mommy didnt have kids or company more than she did you lived a secure life most of the time. you only used one of your 9 lives when the doggies attacked you. thank you for letting barney into the family. tonight i can still cuddle and think of you. the dr said it would only be a month if that and you would have gotten worse quickly so i am glad i put you to sleep but will still miss you tremendously. thank you georgeanne for giving me this statue (girl petting the cat)it was very special when you gave it to me probably 6 years ago and it was very special today and always. today was in the seventys and sunny and she enjoyed her last day out in the warm sun.

WOW GOD IS GREAT. THIS IS WHY I AM STILL FREEZING IN MY HOME. I HAD A FIRE IN THIS THING THAT BURNED A WHOLE IN THE COVERING FLAP OF SOMETHING AND UP THE WIRES. I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A PICTURE OF THE FLAP. OH WELL I THINK THESE PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP. THERE IS A SAFTEY DEVICE THAT SHUTS OFF THE HEATER SO THE FIRE DOESNT GO IN THE HOUSE. I PUT MY MICROFLEECE SHEETS ON AND WAS SOO TOASTY ALL NIGHT. HARD TO GET MY SELF UP IN THE 55 DEGREE HOUSE. BEUTIFUL WARM DAY OUTSIDE. HOPE ITS NOT TOO LONG BEFORE THE VALVE COMES IN.

having a great time with julia, tom, kate, went to the state park and i was telling them in the car that there are so many trails that i will take in the fall and winter when there are no snakes and ticks. we go into fort miles and up the hill to the battery and the highest point on the beach where the are standing in the last picture and were just talking away all of the sudden i think we saw it all at once a huge black snake in the middle of the walk way with its head and neck in the air. well i looked constantly the rest of the time he came out when no one was near him thank god. then we came home and went right back 1/2 way to the beach for dinner in which i swallowed a BIG peice of steak WHOLE. a VERY close call to heimlick. went to lunch today where i had PANCAKES nice and soft. ha ha take care katie ps patty is the one who took the resterant picture.
