Huisentruit 14th Anniversary

MASON CITY, IA -- Saturday (today) marks the 14th anniversary of KIMT morning anchor Jodi Huisentruit's disappearance. Local police say the case hasn't lost it's significance for the town.

Huisentruit worked as a morning anchor and producer at KIMT news 3 when she went missing on her way to work one summer morning.

I know you girls remember that day...I can't believe that it has been 14 years!
They are still get leads...I still think it is so sad!

Rod Stewart...I love him!

Anyone want to go with me?
August 18th....at the Target Center...Minneapolis,MN...8:00 PM. They still have tickets...

Love my new bracelet...

I finally replaced the bracelet that was stolen last October. I have been looking for a silver beaded bracelet like the one that I lost. I hadn't had any luck in replacing it.
Until Laurie and I found this new Tiffany Bracelet for the right price. The one that I have has a "Tiffany Tag" but I am thinking of getting this "Heart Tag" (sometime) and wear them together! It is very small and elegant! I love it!

Best Buddies...

Sophie and Max are having a great time together. They are hilarious, they have to be together every minute...when I walk with them they walk side by side.
Sophie sits on my lap and Max sits by my feet! They both sleep on the bed one on each side. I was worried about them getting along...no problem!
Tonight we did a car ride and a visit to the Nursing Home...the residents loved them.
So I do think the week will fly by and then we will be missing Sophie!

Retlaw's Closing...

The rumor is Retlaw's will be closing on July 5th or even maybe before! I will really miss going there. (I guess I didn't go all of the time!) But it was a really fun place to meet and see people! Just think my birthday party may of been the last time we were all there!

Today I heard that possibly "The OP" from Clear Lake and Mason City will be buying them out....I hope so! They have an awesome business in all of their locations.

I couldn't go to bed without posting a couple photos...

I loved giving Ella her "Cupcake" quilt...that yes...if you can believe it...I made it myself. It was so sweet she picked it up and rubbed it on her cheek! I had the best time with her....I could of stayed another week!

Why you haven't heard from me!

I worked many hours getting ready for my little trip....cramming two weeks or work into one...
Flew to Salt Lake City for a couple of days...with Ella :) and Laurie!
Then a quit trip to Las Vegas for a few days...to a convention to listen to my son-in-law speak...then back to Salt Lake City for the weekend!
Reality back to work and I think I was missed!
I had the best time with my daughter, son-in-law and my beautiful little Grand-daughter...will post more photos later....but I need to go to bed and sleep! One thing that I didn't do while I was gone (sleep)...

Year ago Today!

It was one year ago that the flood washed out the swinging bridge! and everyone flooded out of their homes....so much has happened to so many people since that time! Makes you thankful for what you have....

Baby Shower for Amy

Sophia (Isn't she a sweetheart!)
Sophia didn't want to wake up! I just loved her dress and shoes!
Susan loved showing her off!

Friday night grilling...

I have been using my grill the last couple of nights....so easy to flip a burger on it or some veggies! Last night I went to light it and to my surprise it was hot and ready to go....so...did my neighbor decide to use it? or did I some how forget to turn it off from the night before? My life is somewhat hectic and I get pretty busy but how do you forget to turn off the grill.
Yes; I did shake the gas tank and it was pretty heavy yet... wasn't empty so I am still wondering....
kids any ideas?
