Our last stop was at Hobby Lobby. We told my future son-in-law that we were supporting H.L. by shopping there today. He is a district manager of Hobby Lobby in South Carolina. They had home accents 66% off today. I got a few cute things.
Decorating a little for July 4th.
Lana took this picture in front of my pool. We have enjoyed three days straight of sunshine, floats, and tanning.
Another few of my favorite things to do during the summer is:
I love to shop....I checked out Phase II in Murfreesboro and found myself this cute light pink and brown skirt and Mark a new shirt.
I love to redecorate and move things around in my house. I created a new look for my dining room table.
I hasve been trying to change my computer room around a bit. I moved this table and chairs in front of a window. 
Last thing we are beginning to see are hay rolls in the fields. I just love that smell, brings back childhood memories of driving the tractor or truck pulling a wagon and my dad and helpers loading hay.
For some reason, this looks just like how I feel!!!! Summer break from school is such a relaxed time. I have bought new ferns, planted new bedding plants, and am really enjoying my hosta's. They are getting bigger and bigger every year.
And of course with summer break comes the tanning and the pool. I finally have my pool almost pristine.
I am also enjoying my new car. I totaled my cute little blue Cavalier during the last two months of school. I bought a 2009 Ford Fusion. I was able to get my sunroof and spoiler back. The greatest thing my new car has is SYNC. I can make and take calls by pushing a button on my steering wheel and never touch my phone. How safe!!!!
Also during the early summer months are many graduations....Below is my step-daughter, Emily, graduating from the University of Tennessee with her degree in Nursing. We are all so proud of you Emily!!!!
Proud Dad, Mark and Emily
Emily with her brother, Justin, and step-brother, Cody after graduation.
The gang, excluding myself....I had no personal days left at school so I did not get to attend.
Last but no least is Emily and Travis, her future husband in May, 2010. Oh my!!!! Emily, I will make sure to keep my personal days for the wedding. I can't wait! 
WE LOVE YOU EMILY AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
Bro. Danny Freeman presented Bobby Bogard and Bob Jernigan certificates for completing their Lay Speaker training. We are so proud of them! We are looking forward to hearing you speak to us..
I can't wait to begin my summer break from school after Friday morning. The following are things that I love during the warm summer days and nights. It is a very relaxing and laid back time of the year.
2. The next thing after a clean pool is relaxing....
3. Third item needed while relaxing is some great suntan lotion....I recommend Lewie's Tanning on-line. The prices are one-half of what we pay in salon's.
4. The best thing to have by the poolside is a cold glass of tea.
6. Last but not least is windows raised during the day and night and the sweet sound of birds chirping (just not too early!).
The other exciting upcoming event is my daughter, Lana's, wedding on July 11, 2009. I am excited and at the same time kind of dreading it (just the idea of my baby girl getting married).
The next big summer event is my church's Vacation Bible School in July also. Our theme is Boomerang Express: Everything Comes Back To Jesus.
What are your plans? 
Waylon and Terry Gunter didn't mind taking a nap during singing.
No hot dogs for Garrett, just bread, a little here and a little there.
Abigail looks to be praying "Dear God, Thank you for my first Easter." We love you Abigail!!
The wonderful men in our congregation have been practicing for their Last Supper Drama to be presented on Thursday night before Good Friday. We have a large amount of talent they just keep it hidden. Mark your calendars!!!!
