Barry and I are working towards being 100% cash only. Meaning we are wanting to be at a point where we have zero debt. We dont have that much - but we’d rather have zero. That being said, we are on a self-imposed budget. Nothing is bought unless we have cold hard cash and only after we truly determine its a need vs a want.
Eating out is a treat - one thing we definitely miss is sushi - we have a favorite sushi place we used go to, a hole in the wall place with an established clientele - and VERY good - we’ve not been in some time.

On the way home today we were both very hungry and ready for dinner and as usual STUCK IN TRAFFIC. So to pass the time we began teasing eachother by talking about scrumptious things to eat. Here’s where the conversation ended…

Kim: Sushi would be good.

Barry: SHUT UP, dont go there.

Kim: mmMMmmmm, suuussshhhhi
Barry: The only sushi you’re getting tonight is FROZEN FISHSTICKS!

(Kim shutup)

It looks very similar but it’s definitely easier for us to update - there are still a few things left to clean up but we’ll attack those as we go. So tell your friends, tell your neighbors, SILLYSILERS.COM is now LIVE!!!

Take a look at the links to the left, we’ve added a few of our favorites and shared some of local interest. If you know of others we dont have or should check out based on our interests - leave a comment and tell us about it!!!

We’re cleaning things up and regrouping to make our site easier for everyone (most importantly our distant relatives). The new site will be located here eventually - but we’ve got some work to do and time is hard to come by.

Keep updated at the current location of our website.

Thanks for your support!

The SillySilers

TITLE: The Elder Silers

We traveled to TN this weekend for a family reunion of sorts. Here’s a pic of all the Silers together - well at least Barry’s dad and his 7 siblings. All of the photos from the get-together are now posted on Flickr. Check them out and be sure to comment on your favorites!!

TOP ROW (L to R): Uncle Cal, Steve (aka Pops), Uncle Rick, Uncle Tom (JT’s namesake Jacob Thomas)

BOTTOM ROW (L to R): Aunt Ginger, Aunt Bill, Aunt Baby, Aunt Bobi

TITLE: Playing in the rain

We ran across a cool idea while surfing online… See the original article here

It’s all about setting up an email address for your baby instead of (or for those of us who are slack) a babybook. JT now has his own email address - if you’d like to send him an email or want the address for future emails - leave a comment and let us know. I will send it to you via email.

Sorry - not going to post it here for obvious spamming reasons… I’d hate for him to finally be old enough to read the emails from all his friends and family only to have to wade through TONS of spam.

My first email to JT…

MOMMY MISSES YOU!!!! He’s visiting Mammy and Pap for a few days while we are still waiting for opening day of his new daycare - also I’ll be heading to Seattle on business tomorrow - i miss him but i know he’s having a good time - he even got to ride from Dayton, TN to Tazewell, TN in the front passenger’s seat of Pap’s BIG RIG!!! They said he loved it - got to see everything - much better than backseat of the car. By 3 he’lll probably be driving the Rig - based on how intently he was watching Pap change those gears…

Roll on 19-month-old — ROLL ON!

Just be sure to keep yourself awake with some Cowboy Coffee!!
