Quick Fix!

I got my computer back yesterday.....I have another issue with it and that is I cannot download my pictures from my camera on it.....I really wish I didn't have to keep getting someone to help me I feel like a pain in the you know what....hopefully I will get that sorted to.

Computer Trouble!

Well Wednesday night my computer decided to call it quits...actually I think it was just the display card (that's my expert opinion)......anyway I brought it in for a check up last night and I hope and pray I will get it back soon....we'll see! See ya soon....I hope!

I've been Mem'd

I was mem'd by The Funny Farm to list 5 weird/odd things about me. I can't think of anything weird/odd about me, can you? Actually forget I asked......I can think of a few on my own........here they are in no special order:

• I can't fall asleep to music, if I do no alarm will wake me up....my mind plays tricks on me and let's me think I just crawled into bed and that the 0:59 minutes still isn't up on my alarm clock

• My hearing is soooo good that it's like I have a superpower.....you're saying, "yeah right"....yes I heard you! But really it's true and I know a lot of people would agree with me on that

• I like to drive. If I'm going out with anyone I want to drive....maybe it's a control thing, I'm not sure....I don't think I'm any better than anyone at it I just like to drive!!

• I remember dates of when things happened to other people as well as myself and I remember everyone's birthday/anniversary.....when I say everyone I mean everyone....and there are people who will agree with me on this

• Last but not least I think Huratio Caine is awesome from CSI: Miami....and I know quite a few people who read this blog that will say yes she is weird for this fact!

So now I get to meme 4 other people, so I choose: Daniela, Heather, Carolynn, & Pat (if she's feeling up to it). If you want to play along add yours to the comment section.

Bar Update!

Here is the builder of the bar behind it. It's coming along, and it is looking great. Perfection is his middle name, so the length of time is the game.....

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Thanksgiving dinner with special friends we call our family. It was a great day spent with those we love. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we are thankful for, and I know that we are thankful for Yvonne and Eldon to be important people in our lives.

Megan and her Aunt Yvonne. Megan loves her very much!

Fun & Laughter!

What a great night with our friends Daniela and Kevin. They made a nice supper, good drink and great company! It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without friends like these around. Thanks for a great evening it was fun!

What a wonderful couple!

Good Games!

The first poker game won by Daniela! My husband took the next!

Megan enjoyed her Uncle Kevin playing with her tonight! " He's so much fun", she said.

Never ThroughT I'd See the Day

Kevin enjoying some wine. Actually he did drink wine but not like this! lol!

Difficult!

Wow Grade 1 it's a lot more difficult then JK & SK...no I'm not surprised but all I have to say is wow! Megan is bringing books home every night to read......in SK she was bringing books home, level 1 readers which was no problem....this year they are more difficult....I don't expect it to be easy but man 32-40 pages in one night is quite hard ......tonight she brought home Curious George Plays Baseball and she finished it....after that she went to bed with the book and tried to read on her own.....the effort's there, I hope she keeps the positive attitude about reading.

Sometimes...

....things just happen for a reason. You may wonder what I'm talking about, but that's what I've always been told "Sometimes things happen for a reason!" I've been truly tested so far in my life and everytime something happened I just thought why me?? But now I realize that it has made me a stronger person. Tonight I met up with someone I have really never talked to and they shed a lot of light on issues that I knew were there but didn't realize the level at which they were, it truly made me happy inside. Things really made sense tonight and I am so grateful to meeting this person......

A Beautiful Piece.....MOTHER

This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece. Please read this at a slow pace,
digesting every word and in leisure...do not hurry....this is a
treasure...

For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom, this is beautiful.
For those of us who aren't, this is even more beautiful. For those who
are moms, you'll love this.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the long
way?" she asked. And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And
you will be old before you reach the end of it.. But the end will be
better than the beginning."

But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that
anything could be better than these years. So she played with her
children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them
in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother
cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the
children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and
covered them with her mantle, and the children said, "Mother, we are not
afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come." And the morning came,
and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and
the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children," A
little patience and we are there." So the children climbed, and when
they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it
without you."

And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and
said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned
fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today,
I 've given them strength."

And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds
of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the
mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. " And the children
looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them
beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother said, "This is the best
day of all, for I have shown my children God."

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and
the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were
tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough,
they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they
came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden
gates flung wide. And mother said, "I have reached the end of my
journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my
children can walk alone, and their children after them."

And the children said, "You will always walk with us, Mother, even when
you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as
she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We
cannot see her but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than
a memory. She is a living presence......."

Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisper of the leaves as
you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly
laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.
Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every
tear drop.
She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you
follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first
heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space... not even death!



Thanks my friend "Yvonne" for sending this my way, it meant a lot!
