3 times a Charm

Karl is happy. This weekend my brother in-law was married for the third time. Many may say thats alot for a 29 year old but just maybe it took him a while to find Love. I wish them all the luck :) Marriage is hard but also very rewarding here's my fam. Husband and gorgeous daughter

Bring home the Gold

Happy Birthday Dad

This is what Dad had created for family viewing. I added alittle however the music chosen is unable to be heard until I tweak. The music in the beginning is an Indian flute song and then goes into Sting's song "The Future and Past" . I wish I had more photos to include everyone. Enjoy:)

What to do , What to do

Ok most of you know I'm a Conservative, and the last political drama has me itching to type something. Well I could fly off the handle and complain about Clintons or Guilani or even how Obama(who is one of my front runners) is truly peeving me off.

Where is the Honesty not the puck up and cover up speeches. If I listed all the double talk all of the candiates speak ,this post would go on for days! I know most people hate talking politics ! Why? Its one of the most important things that makes this Country who we are. Yes I said We!

Time to Time again you will hear me vent about issues that many will disagree with but hopefully are willing to read and understand my point a view.

My Father's favorite comment to use when we got into a heat political debate. "If we must then let's begin" So here's to you Dad I promise not to hold my tongue on any issue.

Stay tuned....

The costume has been chosen;)

I wanted Minnie Mouse and Miss TaekwonDo wanted Pink Power Ranger who won. The three year old did of course.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go ME !!!!! Not much to write oh yeah its my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much..

I have to many things to write about! Some are issues that deeply bother me ,others are some accomplishments I'm proud of. So when I finally decide I'll post. Hopefully it will be interesting. I feel that I should type the main issue that truly upsets me ,but thats a very private one and only one person truly should understand. So give me a day or two and I promise something:) . Have a Great Weekend.

L-o-V-E

One of the shortest dictionary words with the strongest meaning. Love is thrown around so easily today but do you truly love? There's the unconditional love for your child, the undieing love for those that have gone(dad) and the love for a spouse ,partner or friend. There's also the passionate love and the forbidden love .

So where do you stand? Do you love with all of you, Do you love secretly or is your love one sided. Choose wisely

I'm Not Going!

School has started along with some attitude. This should be a interesting school year.

Joyce Aka My Aunt Tinka

Some go through life without questioning or saying a word. Others speak to loudly without any meaning, and then there's the ones who words bless your life. Aunt Tinka may the wind carry you pass the happy times thru the sweet smell of the ocean and the memories of Canada. Miss you Lady

Aunt Tinka

Completely honest
beautiful
Always there to listen
The first to make you laugh
I love you beautiful and feel blessed you are in my life

A princess forever

We did it we finally went to Disney! It was wonderful not just the scenery but the pure joy that being at Disney brought to my beautiful daughter's face. Thank you mom for all you did , the trip was amazing!

What to talk about

Alright with tons of news out there where should I begin. Well it wont be about the Dow or even a touchy topic such as Mike Vick, Presidental Election and of course the Iraq war. I will post a beautiful poem written by my neice . ITs called I am

I am

I am kind and thoughtful
I wonder if I could move the Earth
I hear animals singing peacefully
I see Chocolate fudge everywhere
I want to do my best in every way
I am kind and thoughtful

I pretend to be a SuperStar
I feel happy with my Mommy
I touch the sky when I feel happy
I worry when things go bad
I cry when one of my family members die
I am a kind and thoughtful

I understand when people lose their loved ones
I say always be happy when you are down
I dream I will be a SuperStar
I try to get all A's
I hope when I get older I will be the best.
I am kind and thoughtful

The 4th July

Its not about the BQs and the music. Its about honoring our men and women for the great sacrifice that they give for us everyday. It's a shame Americans don't value what your country truly stands for! Enjoy your 4th but alway remember.

A year later and it still hurts like yesterday.

From the title you can tell what subject I'm about to approach. It has been nearly a year since my father's passing and everything seems a little less important since he is not here. Great things have happen and one of the first thoughts is running over to tell him or giving him a quick call.

July is a few days away and missing him has been one of my first thoughts when I awake. Here's to you daddy. Your the smartest ,strongest and always loving man I will ever know.

Hanging With Good Friends

Summer reminds you just how great its too just hanging out with good friends.
Hot weather, cool drinks and lots of good friend gossip. Gas prices may be rising , Allergies annoying and of course those lovely insects. Yet seeing your buddies laughing and remembering embarrassing moments each one had is priceless.Those are one of my highlights in my life. Things weren't always happy but around the corner always made me smile. Heres to fond memories and good friends.Thanks to all my good girlfriends and of course my buddy Tony.Enjoy your summer I know I will. At times we all wish we could go back again.

A poem for Pop-Pop

This poem was written by my 12 year old niece . Its called Lost

A lovely grandpa died so young
He was only 51
He had 2 grand kids
one was 11
The other one was 2
The oldest one loved him so
and she always said
I will never let him go
The youngest didn't know much
But she will always remember him

People say let it go
Others hold on tight
knowing its hard for people To say
Or even go to his House
Or say Good day
The two grand Kids miss
Him So

Kiahna & Gabrielle
The two grand kids
Everybody loved But they didn't
Like to see their faces
When Their Grandpa had to go.

Still Here...

Wow ! Its been that long since I've posted. Dag! Ok here's my excuses. 1: Mother's Day
2: Monday ( Heroes). I promise my next post will be much better. This one is just to say I'm still here.

Wake Up! Where's the Security!!!

OK September 11Th horrible day in America's history. It should have not only united us (yea right) but stepped up our security to an unbelievable secure country! So what the H*** happened!


Every time we hear its another lacks atmosphere , people entering plotting right out in the open , people able to enter secured areas without clearance . There's so much more that I can give examples of but the site is not able to hold so much nonsense. Let me add that I have always been a proud American and I usually support all of my Presidents to a certain degree.

Now its has changed from just disappoint to one of disgust! Who cares about Congress and The Senate! This falls on the President's shoulders. This country should be the most secure place in the World. Forget offending others, so what you disgruntle a couple of high collar greedy politicians. Your only concern is to protect the people you sworn to protect.

As President these are the times where you deal with tough decisions and one of those is keep the people you govern safe. You may ask why I am so heated check these articles.

Heroes

I should be writing an exciting , thought provoking post. However it's Monday and on Mondays its save the Cheerleader Save the World. Fly you later

People whom we should strive to be like!

There are so many people in America that many fail to mention many of these people you will never read about. There's the typical Oprah, Bill Cosby , Bill Gates. Today I would like to mention my Aunt Joyce aka Tinka.

This lady has a mouth of a sailor and the frankness of a child ,and yet she is a aunt that I wish one day I could be. Thru her struggles with Cancer she has continue to be there for all family members. There has been family loss due to this horrible disease yet ,she has put her troubles to the back burn to be there for others. I will always appreciate her being there for me and my family. Thanks for always having my back.

I was going to mention not so famous Americans that have tried to build and care for America but rarely mentioned. I'm still going to do that but every Sunday I will dedicate a post to a Cancer survior or one that is remembered . I miss you Dad

America

I'm so sick of hearing why America is so bad! Why are we always the bad people, yet we're the ones who are constantly called upon for more money or help. America the great evil (why?) Yes we are shady sometimes and yes we do things with a wink and a smile, yet are we really worse than any other country . Please let me know (really).

People that scream and cry how horrible the North is ,are the same people that enjoy the freedoms and prosperity that this country has to offer. I understand things that our government does is not always right but dam come on .

First Day

Wow ! So here is my open to all diary. I can write down , sorry type all my joys , drama , horrors down instead of keeping them bottled up. Lets see where should I start. Lets start with the horror ! Losing the greatest man in my life , My Dad. Its almost a year and I feel it was still a mistake and he is just out doing some errands(stupid right) I'm a grown woman and I know he is dead but I cant really accept he is not around anymore. Erase that I see his face every day in my daughter .
