Where is Everybody?
Ok...so no one is reading the blog, yet! I'm still in that giddy phase of new accomplishment, so it's ok, for now, but I really want your pictures, videos, and news - cough it up already!
Cousin Carolyn arrived on Sunday evening in time for dinner. We retired fairly early (for Caro!) and embarked on a fabric-shopping trip bright and early Monday morning. We had such a good time and I actually purchased sofa fabric (not anything like what I had envisioned), but I fell in love with it (Ben is still being coy about the relationship!). We had to go to Lowe's for rope for the piping and to get staples and we had ginormous potato cakes for lunch at Pete's Deli. Wish you could have been there.
Today, we will start taking the old sofa apart. I can't wait...it has needed repair for so long and we are finally fixing it.
Tonight is the family supper - really don't know who we will see, but hopefully a big turnout so we can plan other activities during Carolyn's visit. I know that a trip to Staunton to see the Woodrow Wilson Museum & Gardens is one thing she would like to do. Also, there is a big quilt show at the civic center this weekend, so I know we will make that part of the agenda as well.
I will post pictures before, during & after the sofa makeover. It should be interesting!
Ya'll come back, ya hear!?

Welcome Back!
I hope you like the updated version of the Waltrip Clan. The thought for the day will change daily and the news on the WSJournal will update frequently throughout the day. The slide show is different (not all the pix are "new"), and be sure to check out the videos in the footer. Provided you guys supply me with new pictures and videos, I will add them. I need Kevin & Jennie, Mike & Pacie and photos from Jean following her trip to Europe!- so send me something!
I will try to keep up with family events, but really do hope YOU will "pull up a rocker, sit a spell and talk with us."
Carolyn will be visiting in Roanoke beginning tomorrow evening. She has graciously agreed to help (do it all herself) me reupholster my living room sofa! She is so talented and hopes others will have some projects for her! We will have a family dinner at my house on Tuesday night beginning 5 PM - hope you can come.
Ben and I will be leaving for New Mexico on April 1st - 10 days! Cannot wait to see Camie who is now crawling (check out the video below) and has two bottom teeth! We will celebrate my 62nd birthday while we are there.
Other birthdays: Jean on March 31, Jennie on April 3rd, Davis on April 4th, and Vicki on April 8th. Please let me know if I missed anyone (and forgive an old woman!). So, Happy Birthday,one and all:
