My Mothers Day

Well, this will be short one, But I had the best mothers day ever. I received a lovely Birdhouse feeder from Barbara and a new PC camera from Kelly. I was so excited. Kelly and I laughed for a good hour playing around with the camera making funny faces !
I laughed so hard that my sides were killing me.

Barbara and I are going to put the feeder up in my yard, Just outside the patio so I can watch the birds eat. We have so many lovely birds here in Ohio. Bluebirds, cardinals, Different colored finches and of coarse the beloved robins and oh yes the hummingbirds, can't forget them. I just love the outdoors , but I a cannot take the humidity. I just can't seem to handle that.

I think the only mothers day that will be better is when Kelly comes home and we can all be a family again. I dream of the day when Paul, Kelly , Georgie Dillon, Barb , Thomas and sweet Aron can all go to church together. Then have a country picnic and all enjoys one an other's company. That is my Ideal Mothers day.

Well, I said it would be short so here's wishing you all a Great year and every days a Mothers day!!

To my Mom and all other Moms too!

Mom this one's in memory of you. I would like to thank my Mom for teaching me right from wrong, to be a able to love , to be responsible and grow in independence, to know how much she gave of herself to teach us these things. For the spankings we got when we did wrong, which made me strong and now that I am older really,really kept us on our toes.

I remember saying when I grow up "I won't do that to my children, hahahah". I can only wish I was as good a mom as she was.

None of her children ever got into trouble, at least anything bad. Sure we did some of the mischievous things kids do but all in all we turned out OK. My older sister was a housewife and is now a grandmother to 13 I believe.

The next sister was a nurse and has 1 son and 1 granddaughter.

Then there is a brother, Dan. He served in the navy and when he got out became a therapist, now retired , has been married 33 yrs, produced 2 boys and a girl , and Dan and wife Sharon have 9 grand kids.

So MOM, if you can read this from heaven THANK You , You are my hero and always will be. You are the best. I love you soooooo much and miss you more. Happy Mothers day! Her are some pictures of my Mom and Her Mom. My Mom passed away Sept.1,2001. Her memory will live on a long time.
And to my daughter Kelly you must show me how to place these pictures right. Heheheheh.

Well, A Little About Our Government

It is I again! I listened to President Obama the other night. He is a well spoken man and very down to earth. He has a lot on his plate right now, will have for quite some time. But I want to talk about the little things that matter to the people. Social Security, Jobs, schools, gangs and God. I will do them in that order.
First lets start out with Social Security: I have a dear friend, names don't matter. She has been a housewife for years, maybe worked a year or so when there was no money to be made. Now she is going to be 62 years old. Her husband, who worked forever, collects S.S. and a pension brings in close to $3000.00 A month. Plus she does foster children which is not taxed.I am not sure how much she makes there but it is a lot because she takes in troubled girls. God Bless her. Which is great. Please don't get me wrong but I am torn what is right. Now from what I hear she will be entitled to her husbands s.s. so they will add another close to $700.00 a month. I always thought the wife collected his Social Security when that spouse dies, and not until. Social Security has come a long way. I know when My Ed died I was told I will never see a dime of that money because I made more money than him. I feel this is fair because there are a lot of us out there that really need S.S. we have no pensions. It is no wonder Social Security is going broke. How many people are collecting twice. I am a disable person and I can not work. I can't stand long and the pain when I do is awful. Shouldn't I get part of my husbands money? My answer is no, I think some of these laws should be changed. Or at least looked at. NO double dipping. To many people will need it. Lets share the wealth.

Jobs: If our Government would not have shipped our jobs over seas we would not be in this mess. If the bank's weren't so greedy we would not be in this mess & If the unions and works weren't so greedy we would not be in this mess. Saying that If we could eliminate greed we would be in a great world.

This STIMULUS package what a laugh , no accountability at all . The money should have had rules. States should account for every dime of the money to put people to work not to build new conference centers or sports stadiums. We should be taking some old factories and refurbishing them and make new solar power roofs and things of that nature . But no , greed will get that money also.

Schools , now they're doing a pretty good job there but again they need to have a lesson in how to dress or start wearing uniforms with a code, like tuck shirts in and skirts just above the knees or longer. Pants should be worn from waist to top of feet and there should be a class for common sense. My mom use to say you can't teach common sense but I still think it can be done.

Gangs: Lets start caning them, beat the tar out of them and the younger ones will think twice. OOPS I think I said that before in past blog. So I will leave it go. hahahhahah ! Also there are a lot of people out there that made mistakes in their lives, some innocent mistakes. I am not sure how to write this but I feel they need a chance to correct that mistake. First time felons with the lowest felony, if they stay clean and follow all the rules for 5 years should have their felony reduced to a misdemenor. But that is only my opinion.

And last but most important, God,. Now here is the way I see it. We have thrown God out of our lives. What can we expect from our children but trouble. Look at the trash on TV at the movies . There are a lot of great books out there with God in then like "THE LEFT BEHIND BOOKS",
"THE SHACK" just to name a couple but believe me I could go on for quite a while. Hollywood stop teaching trash to our kids. Obama Bring God back to the people, back to this country.
OK got to go . Talk to you soon God Bless every one. I am waiting for you Lord!

Just a poem I would like to share.

This was sent to me in an e-mail and it reminds me of when things seemed a little simpler: I hope you agree.
A POEM
A clothesline was a news forecast To neighbors passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep When clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by To spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the "fancy sheets"And towels upon the line;
You'd see the "company table cloths"With intricate designs.
The line announced a baby's birth From folks who lived inside -
As brand new infant clothes were hung,So carefully with pride!
The ages of the children could So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed, You'd know how much they'd grown!
It also told when illness struck,As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,Haphazardly were strung.
It also said, "Gone on vacation now" When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged With not an inch to spare!
New folks in town were scorned upon If wash was dingy and gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,And looked the other way . . ..
But clotheslines now are of the past,For dryers make work much less.
Now what goes on inside a home Is any body's guess!
I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
