I found the graphic for this website on Moyras Web Jewels (this site is no longer online...thanks to Moyra and all her beautiful work!) and just had to use it. It's been so inspiring that I've started reworking a few web pages of my own. (Check out my Gallery page for views, links and updates!)

Favorite quote from the Tour de France -- "When I saw the attack of Armstrong, I said to myself,
"Chapeau. It is a beautiful moment in cycling." Axel Merckx cyclingnews.com

5/02 -- I have joined the blog (Web Log, basically an online journal) revolution. It's 'baking my noodle,' so check it out. My 'writings' link (above) now links there. I update it a lot more often than I update this site. Check out Chad's, as well; it's called Run the Race.

4/22/02 - It has been a long time since I've bothered to update this page. I have added pictures of our new birds and new pictures of our 'Dorable Dogs!

7/01 - The Tour de France (Tour de Lance!) is in full swing

5/6/01 - I rode my first 1/2 century at the Sweet Onion Century in Vidalia, Georgia, home of the Vidalia onion, of course!  The ride is held on the 1st Saturday in May every year, this being the 5th year they've done it.  It was fun, but gentle rolling hills just ain't the right description...we rode into Mount Vernon, for heaven's sake!  OK...it wasn't too bad, but there were some good hard climbs for a mediocre rider like me!  Chad, of course, rode the century ride, his 3rd, I think.

5/01 - The  Davies' Peloton Project is in suspension for a few months, but check out the Lance Armstrong Foundation!

2/14/2001 - Just a quick update. On the personal side,  I am working towards my first metric century (66 miles) and hope to ride it in Savannah in March.  Then I hope to do a complete century (100 miles) in May -- 5 years ago I had a hysterectomy for my birthday, now I want to show off how much better my health is!  Chad is planning to ride in his first race in March at the Macon Cherry Blossom Festival.  I tell him he has to start winning money to pay for this expensive hobby of his!  He plans to give half of everything he wins to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  He's doing so well, I don't think anyone short of a professional has a chance!

Gordon Christian Fellowship is doing well -- we're talking about priorities and time/life management this semester and the students seem to be getting a lot out of it...I know I am!  

March 4th is the first dual worship service at Northside Christian Church (Macon) and the new Adult Life Enrichment (Sunday School-type classes) will begin...Chad has worked so hard to get the classes lined up and the teachers ready!  It should be good and we're excited to see the church growing so much!  It's been amazing to see the answered prayers as the church has sought God's will and stepped out in faith in this new adventure!

11/13/2000 - I've been having trouble with this web page, so haven't been able to update it in a while.  Finally, I'm getting around to correcting and updating!  Our efforts for the Peloton Project are going well.  We've raised close to $200 and are hoping that after the Christmas buying season is over we'll be able to raise a LOT more.  Our first official 'building the bike' ride took place this weekend.  Chad rode his first century...100 miles in 4 hours 45 minutes!  He's doing great!  I rode 30 miles, twice as far as I'd ever ridden before!  We're both a little stiff this morning, but are doing well, considering!

Thanksgiving is coming up and we're planning to have some of my family over for dinner.  They will arrive Wed. night.  We're planning a bon fire and will set up the telescope one night, and plan to get a Christmas tree while everyone is here and get their help decorating our new house.  It should be a lot of fun!  Of course, we'll probably also run up to the outlet mall for some Christmas shopping, too.  It will be really fun having everyone.

We have some new pup pictures up, if you'd like to see some of their summer fun!

6/20/2000 - It's been a while, but a lot has happened.  We bought a house and the pups are growing! There isn't much to put here, since it's all on those pages, so click over and see!

2/20/2000 - We're finally settling in here in Barnesville. On the sad side of our news, our wonderful dog, Sampson died back in January. To keep our other wonderful dog, Canaan company, we brought home a Golden Retriever puppy, who we named Maxwell. But Canaan being who she is, was not much company for Max! So we brought Max's brother (Cooper) home about a week later. Boy, we thought our lives were busy in Concordia!

Chad is enjoying teaching at Gordon, and I started working last week. I'm working at the Univ. of Georgia College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences on the Griffin Campus in the Office of Information Technology as a Computer Support Specialist IV.  Now we just need to find a house and we're all set!

Oh, yeah, we decided on the 2000 Subaru Outback Wagon!

11/19/1999 - I finally finished my CNE! Now I can concentrate on moving to Georgia! Chad will be working at Gordon College in Barnesville. We're working hard on getting some finishing touches on the house so we can sell it and we're still searching for a place to live in Barnesville.

10/1999 - Now to fill you in on my life. I finished my CNA (oh so long ago!) and am almost finished with my CNE. At least I passed the Net Tech course and have only Install & Config. and Service Support left. I'm working on getting some CNE info up, but if you haven't taken the Net Tech test, you'll want to at least see my Pre-Exam Brain Dump for a great study idea I got from Annie at Network Knowledge in Kansas City. ((OK, I've run out of time and am now on to other technology that I feel way behind in, so I never finished these pages and took down what was there. Sorry.))

I'm still working on the Cloud County Community College Web page, although I have a lot more help with it now and still don't get it updated as often as needed, as those of you who have seen it can attest! In fact, I was searching for ideas for the college web site when I found Moyra's Web Jewels! I found some other things as well, so I hope to get the college web site updated over the next few months. (Lots of pages, you know, and lots of people to approve the new look before it will become official!)

On the personal side, we're still working on our house, trying to get it painted inside and out. This week the exterior went from blue with white trim to gray with rust-red trim. I'm having trouble getting used to it! The living room is three shades of mauve, kind of a sandstone look. It's really nice, but we have to finish putting up the wood crown molding. We hope to refinish our hardwood floors soon, too. Very busy...I am VERY busy!

The Monday night Bible study with CCF is still going well. Dinner at 7:00 and study at 8:00...this semester we're studying Parables. As always, we very much enjoy the students who participate! We have had anywhere from 2 to 20 people and we never know how many will be there until they come, so cooking is kind of frantic. Fortunately, Chad is a fabulous chef and he can make a wonderful meal from almost nothing, so we never go hungry and always have enough for everyone to be full (except the time the men's and women's basketball teams showed up unexpectedly...we were a little short on food that day!)
