Wednesday July 7, 2010 A little bit of this and that!

  

This was my Mother, Maria B. Jensen’s 84th birthday, June 19, 2010---There’s Monika, Jennifer, Mom, and of course, Me---Melody Nelson!

Mother’s Day 2010---Thanks family for spoiling me!  (Keep it up next year---I like it)!

 

 

 

Father’s Day 2010!  I really did take a picture of Dad with all his presents, but now I can’t find it to put it in here!   

He loved his presents from you all!

Tug of War---Molly Style---taken about one week ago!

Today I went to the Red Door Salon and had the lady apply my make-up!  A mother of one of the children in my class gave me a free coupon for it---without the coupon, the  make-up application is $60.00!  Whatayathink?

Connie, and Annie, now there’s a side job you could do for people!

Fairlington Pizza---sometimes our datenights on Saturday’s or Monday’s as they have the $10.00 pizza deal!  I didn’t lighten my hair since then, I just got a decent haircut from a lady who listened to me when I told her I wanted bangs!

Lastly for now, Your Dad and I at the Washington, DC Temple on June 30, 2010.  A lady was passing by and I asked her to take our picture.  I think this one is a great one of Dad, Me, the grounds, and the Temple!  Enjoy

How we spent our Saturday afternoon June 12, 2010

   

Now that your Dad has finally gotten steady employment, I decided to take him motorcylce shopping.  Enjoy some of those we considered:

That one looked like this:  Smell it!  Sweet ride!

And then we left Patriot Harley Davidson Motorcylces in Fairfax, Va. and started talking about our goals for the family (of which you all are a part)

The next thing I know we are at Rosenthal Jeep and Chevy on Columbia Pike closer to home, and Dad buys me this:

It happens to be a 2010 Jeep Compass!  It’s a nice, pretty green 5 seater with Sirius Satellite Radio, a sunroof,reclining back seats,  speakers attached to the hatchback of the car for when we have a beach party, etc.  In short, it has more bells and whistles than I have ever had ever in a vehicle, plus it’s a pretty car!  And, it will make the next ten years of road-trips extremely comfortable!  Who’s coming with me first?

Will Dad ever get his sweet ride?  If I can help it, it will be a resounding “Yes!”  For now, I wanted to thank my man for spoiling me!  I’m a lucky girl to have such a handsome, wonderful husband!  Road-trip anyone?

“Oh Shenandoah” I long to see you! (Even if your highest point is 4,000 ft)!

Enjoy this pictorial review of our trip to the Shenandoah’s and Skyline Drive, Virginia  Day one:      

 

 

  

Day 2:

 

     

Just a little 4th Grade Virginia History:  Virginia is divided into 5 regions, The Coastal Plain near Hampton Roads, etc, the Piedmont, which we live in, the Appalachian Plateau, which we visited, the BlueRidge and the Valley and Ridge.

Day 3

P.S. I loved the times I shared with Lynn, Jed Rock, your father!
