Fourth of July Pride Retrned

This 4th of July I reflect on the pride we once had as a Nation, Where our independence was not taken for granted and it was celebrated. We respected this Nation and the flag it represented. We stood with fathers, grandfathers and mothers who fought and seen the pain it took to keep our land free.
Today I pray for a broken nation, where self serving individuals express their dislike and distaste with desecration and vulgarity. I am sad.
Yes. Opinions are valuable but I cannot listen if your heart displays a hatred for what our families fought and died so that you can express your feelings.
Today I pray for a healing. For our Nation to become the leadership it once was, for the joy we once had, for the fires to stop burning and for people to build and lift up instead of tearing down!
I want to feel God Blessing America once again.

Run Little Dog Run

We have two dogs, both completely different. Lacey Loo our Labrador is mouthy but extremely intelligent. She can express easily and readily what she wants and needs. She is just a voice away from actually telling me what she wants, and WHEN she wants it. Little dog, Casserole. Well...Not so much. She functions well, and makes up for her lack of intelligence in sweetness. A sweetness not reserved for anyone in particular. Even warned, family and friends have fallen for Cassie, hook, line and sinker. She needs attention and demands love, and is loyal to no one. She acts as though she is neglected and you are the only one that can fill the need. So - Everyone falls in love with the little gal. She is majorly spoiled by the husband who cannot escape her charms. Cassie has a new game - She actually has help, about once or twice a year, Cassie gets 'free' and finds new people to love. We have tried to figure out where and how she gets loose and now know th

Sifting Thoughts

I have boxes and boxes of stuff Baby pictures, art pictures, kitchen fairies, lotions and clothing, to name just a few items. All from the NY apartment. They are in my bedroom taking up way too much room. I have to sort through them. Decide what to keep, where to keep it and what to toss. I already did the initial sorting when I packed. But it got easier just to pack and decide later. Besides, it was bringing up so many memories. The girls growing up, the hated divorce, the struggle in between, the holiday joys and the school papers of three little girls, now women. Who let that happen? Now I have to sort once again. Lord help me. There were some things I had forgotten. Like post cards from my best friend, who was staying in England and traveling across Europe while I was going through the divorce, she decided I should choose a last name to my liking, since I could legally change it anyways. So post cards and letters came to me with the last name popular in the region she was travell

To The Moon and Back Again!

                                                                                                                Three Thirty am, on September 6, 2015, I packed and jumped into my car and raced off to NY state, to Dansville Hospital, to Kayleen - my baby - who was having my very first grand child. I would receive a call from her a little before 7am. Excited I asked - "Did you have him yet?" She giggled and replied that she was having camel back contractions and although she had wanted to go completely natural- she had no choice - she opted for medicine to rest a little before she had to push. She has slept some and Justin was taking a small nap beside her and she called me. The waiting room held Justin's mom, Hailey's mom, Hailey and Sarah Mae - always my soldier daughter, always there for her sister. But Kayleen called me. That meant the world to me and I told her so. We chatted about what to expect and confirmed the journey was worth it.  She thank
