I just heard about a new paint on www.twopeasinabucket.com called Glimmering Mist from My Tattered Angels- I just had to try it- I ordered it a week ago and can't wait for it to get here- it looks irridescent (not sure of spelling, but you know, that shiny stuff) The link is listed under Sheila's favorite sites.

A New WEEK!

Ok- it's the next day and I'm still trying this blogging thing. I'm getting readyto go to church- it always starts my week out right. Was working on a layout for a class last night and just couldn't get it, so I went to bed and got up with a new perspective- I think I've got it now!

I just want to let everyone know about the crop we are having on June 9th at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Aberdeen on Mt. Royal Ave. next to the Middle school from 9am to 6pm. It is to benefit my daughter's (Allie) mission trip to Tanzania/Kenya, Africa this Summer. She will be spending three and a half weeks there doing sports ministry and bible studies with the children there. The trip is through X-Treme Impact at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Allie doesn't know anyone else who is going on the trip but is up for the challenge- it's me I'm not so sure of. I'm nervous about sending her half way around the world, but in view of the things that have happened lately, I should be more nervous about sending her off to college. Anyone who is interested in the crop, please e-mail me at sheila_funk@excite.com. The cost is $20. and includes lunch and dinner and lots of door prizes and make-n-takes. It should be a BLAST!! Please keep Allie in your prayers!!

Wow, this is easier than I thought, I just have to keep up with it- unfortunately I can't add images from this computer and Denny is using the other computer tonight- we only have until Tues to complete the FAFSA form for Scott to continue getting his financial aid for college. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute. We filed our taxes April 16th- I guess that's what you're supposed to do when you OWE the government. Denny is just relieved to be done with the presentation he had to give at the AWWA conference this week and I'm relieved that he's relieved!!

the Funk birthday season

Well, the Funk birthday season is 2/3 finished- Scott, Allie & Denny have their birthdays exactly one week apart from each other. Scott was 19 on April 19th, Allie's was 17 on April 26th and Denny will be 49 (really! he won't be 50 'til next year) on May 3rd. I love from May 3rd until Aug 8th because it looks like he is a year older than me. It's been a crazy week- Allie had 3 games this week - next week is the final game in the regular season and then the tournaments. I will actually be glad to see it end and get a break from all those hormonal teenage girls. I taught my SMU class on Wed night and we made a real mess. I told everyone to always where old clothes to my class 'cause I love gettin' down & dirty! I took a road trip today with a few friends and got some paper to do an album for my dental office for that AWESOME trip Dr.Parker took us on to New York last week. What a blast we had- everyone can't wait to go back- I loved Chinatown and Canal St.!

I'm really gonna try this- I posted one blog back in Feb & that was it. My life gets kinda crazy sometimes and trying to find the time for this gets hard. Maybe that's just an excuse for being somewhat computer illiterate- oh well, all I can do is try. If you see that I haven't posted- maybe you can come show an old dog new tricks- helllllp!
