Remembering the Heros of Sept. 11th, 2001.  Life as we knew it...our view of the world changed...forever.

....is it me or do the days seem like they all run together anymore?]  Monday [this week], it was a trip to the dentist, Tues. hubby had two doctor appointments in the big city, [afterwards we went to the Farmers Market...and it was filled with everything you could want, from veggies, fruits and Mums.  Yesterday we were home...I cooked [lot's of veggie dishes] and meat loaf [ground turkey breast], and we waited on repair [for our dryer.]  Today, we have local running to do and a visit with one of the sweetest ladies in the whole world.  I've known her since I was a small child.  Her arms and door are always open to everyone...she is definately one of those extremely rare gems that you meet on this journey [called life,]  She has been the Grandmother that I never had and like a Great Grandmother to our daughter too.  This beautiful Saint is growing frail...she is in her 80's now, and a couple weeks ago she fell and broke her back. After surgery they moved her to the rehab center in the local nursing home. I'm praying that she'll be back in her own home again very soon.  [Lord, please keep your loving healing hand on Mrs. Moore.] 

I'm so happy to share that my mother in law is back at home.  She is awaiting results of some of the tests they did during her hospital stay, but she is feeling a bit stronger and hopefully will continue to improve over the days and weeks ahead.  [Thank you all for your prayers.]

Have you heard all the silly lipstick comments?? Honestly, I'm so sick of it all.  We want and NEED to hear about the real issues...the problems that affect us as Americans...not this petty back biting and mud slinging.  Hello?? How about the economy...and health care?  If you happen to be among the millions that remain uninsured...if McCain wins..you might as well resign yourself to the fact that you will remain that way.  From what I've seen...in my humble opinion...he is so out of touch with mainstream America.  He's 3 decades in Washington...admits he's voted with Bush 90 pecent of the time...[can we say...clone?]...and will be so busy protecting the feelings of his VP nominee, he won't have time to do much else.  Come on...get real...if someone [man or woman] can't handle a comment that was used by McCain himself a year and a half ago...maybe she's just not ready to take on the second highest seat??  At this point I am NOT convinced that either of them nor their VP's...are what we need as a nation.  Can we see what's behind door number 3???  Oh...and before I climb off my soapbox this morning...the people behind the news desk that are suppose to report the news NOT push their views on us...have crossed that line and in some cases totally blown it away during this never-ending long election. [Is it ever going to end?]

Yeah...gas prices have dropped...well the market says they have....but we are still paying the same $3.79 per gallon that we paid when oil prices were much higher.  We are never in line with the "national average."  [Who is in charge of these calulations anyway?]

It was soooo cold here yesterday. Fall is definately at the door.  I peeked out for a split second and right back in. Hopefully today we'll see sunshine...I need it so badly!  My thoughts and prayers going out to my dear friend Marlene in TX and all that are in the projected path of hurricane Ike. {Hoping this one will beat itself out before making landfall and it will be the last one this year.}  Stay safe.

Until next time...remember...to "stand on the promises"...you have to know what they are.

Dear Lord...please help me to remember that I need to concentrate on today, not worry about tomorrow...to trust YOU, your word and your promises.  Amen

Hi Terri. Just wanted to drop in with a hello. I have a new doll I have up of just tubes,Dana, if you would like a set to make siggies or something, just let me know.( free of charge) Im not offering the lines out of her but decided to gift two sets out instead. One to Jewel and one to you, so let me know if you want a set of dana lines when you have time. Also about the post, I try not to voice to much on this topic but I will say, every election, state, national and county all the politicians running always, always have the same three topics come from their lips, education, economy and health. Personally I think these topics cross their lips to " look good" during the race but once voted in, seems its all in slow motion and these topics pretty much get the " im working on it" type of thing. I made a post on my thoughts, sort of lol, its called The Forgotten. Okay now that I wrote a book lol I should get going.
