They Are Speechless...

only for the moment. I'm sure as soon as I give them a mouth they will be talkin' my ear off. Thank goodness I'm the only one who can hear 'em.

Boy! I've been busier than a cat coverin' crap on a marble floor, stitchin' up new dollies!

My gingerbread girl and snowgirl will be my next offerins'.

I'll keep you posted.

Because Of You, Unknown Soldier...

By Courtney Tanabe

Because of you, I am here
Because of you, I am able to live freely.

Yet I do not know you
And I have not done anything for you.

But there you stand, ready to fight
And there you are prepared to die
For me.

You've fought before
And you'll fight again
For someone you don't know.

So thank you Unknown Soldier
Fighting for me.

I'm here because of you
And I owe my future to you.

Folks, Wednesday November 11th is Veterans Day. But if you ask me, every day should be Veterans Day.

Please remember them,
please thank them.

Also, continue to pray for the victims and their families of the Fort Hood massacre.
God bless.

If She Had To, She Could Do Anything...

And she did!!

Civilian police officer Sgt. Kimberly Munley responded within minutes after Major Nidal Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood military post killin' 13 and injurin' 30.

Even though she was hit in both legs and her wrist durin' the gun battle, she managed to continue firin' until Hasan went down.

Kimberly Munley is not only a true American hero she is one tough 120 lb., pint size broad!
♥ I commend you Kimberly! ♥
You can't see me, but I am standin' up and applaudin' you!!

Folks, please continue to pray for the victims and their familes of the Fort Hood massacre.

God bless.

Guess What...

Enjoy your weekend.

Folks I ask if you pray, to please do so for all the Fort Hood victims and their families.

God bless...

Welcome Back...

You did it!!!

Congratulations 2009 World Series Champions!!
YaY!!

I'm Feelin' A Lil' 80's...

Lately, I've been listenin' to all my old music. Man, how I loved New Wave tunes.

I started to reminisce about my glory days and decided to drag out the old photos. As I went through them (laughin' hysterically) I decided to share a few with you. No need to try and blackmail me, I have no shame.

Alrighty then... Let's get started.
Here's daddy, me, my sister and mama.
I'm pretty sure those belts are back in style, aren't they? But my question is "Why?"

Next is me and my dear friend Kelley. (Remember she came with her family for a visit this past July?)
Notice how my hair is pulled back YET I was still able to pull off the "bigness" around the top.
Sorry, It's an ancient Chinese secret.

This one, I'm gettin' ready to cruise the town in the family Chevette.
That baby topped off at 56 mph on the highway.
Oh it's true, I had a need for speed back then.

Every year my hair got bigger...

And bigger...

And BIGGER.

You could have landed a small Cessna on my head.
(My sister went with the helmet-head look.)

Finally, here we had a surprise birthday party for my aunt. We all dressed up as old bag ladies in celebration of the big 5-0. (My sis is on the left)
Yes, that's me on the right and that really is my own hair.

I just pray I don't get one of those horrid "Really Bad 80's Hair" or "Deliverance Family Photo" viral emails and find my picture in it.
