Blog Day # 124 in a day of my life. Last night-the curtin fell and reopened-not for an encore-but a new beginning!

    Sometimes you think-and that is all you do-

IN A NEW BEGINNING-YOU THINK AND THEN YOU ACT!

      Last night- in heat of 104 degrees-we walked from Marcus & Tammy's house-across the street to the restarant , to happy hour. Little girls holding hands with the older little girls. So cute and so innocent. Everyone excited-but boy was it HOT! Not a sun scorching hot, but like a oven , just wave after wave when the breeze came. It was then that I thought back to the lecture my wife gave me, you see, that IRISH temper sometimes unleashes, and I get HOT! She has kept that temper in control, for 31 years! LOL. She does this through profound statements and words such as the above.

AND WHAT SHE SAYS IS TRUE-THINK BEFORE YOU ACT-ACT AS YOU BELIEVE-AND NEVER LET YOUR EMOTIONS RULE YOUR ACTIONS!


AS WE WALKED- THESE THOUGHTS CAME BACK TO ME. AND THE ABOVE IS SO TRUE. THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING-A NEW WAY OF LIFE-AND WE CELEBRATED THAT LAST NIGHT WITH THE ONES WE LOVE. THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.



SO THERE WILL BE TRIALS-THERE WILL BE OBSTACLES-AND THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS TO BE DEALT WITH- BUT THERE ALSO WILL BE LOVE-COMFORT-NEW FRIENDS-OLD FRIENDS-SHARING AND TEACHING-SEEING RESULTS, SEEING GROWTH- YOU SEE MY FRIENDS- THE POSITIVES FAR OUT WEIGH THE NEGATIVES.



SHERRY HAS SEIZED THE MOMENT-HER NEW BEGINNING WILL BE SHARED WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. AND WHAT IS REALLY NEAT-IS THESE PEOPLE WILL BE STRANGERS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. LOOKING FOR HELP, TRYING TO SURVIVE AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

   THE UNKNOWN IS THE JOY!

LAST NIGHT- THOSE KIDS WERE EXCELLENT-SITTING THERE INTERACTING AMONGEST THEM SELVES LIKE THE ADULTS. MOMENTS LIKE THIS- WELL IT JUST MAKES ONE SO EMOTIONAL- I AM IRISH- AND WEAR IT ON MY SLEEVE. BUT THE ROOM WAS FULL AND PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AND COMMENTING.

WE ARE A FAMILY-ONE THAT SHARES LIFE -ONE THAT LOVES EACH OTHER!




THE CHANGE CAME YESTERDAY-THE CHOICE WAS MADE MONTHS AGO-THE TIME IS NOW-THE NEW CHAPTER HAS BEGUN-THROW OUT THE OLD-BRING IN THE NEW.

LAST NIGHT A TERRIFIC STORM CAME THROUGH-THE AIRPORT-DULLES IN OUR BACKYARD SO TO SPEAK-RECORDED GUSTS OF WIND 71 TO 85 MPH. THERE WAS ENDLESS LIGHTENING-RAIN GOING SIDEWAYS-TEMP. DROPPED FORM 93 TO 74 AT 10:30 pm. THUNDER-RAINING HITTING THE WINDOWS HARD!

THE OLD WAS BEING WASHED AWAY- WHAT WAS LEFT AFTER IT WAS OVER-WAS A FRESH, CLEAN AND COOLER TEMP.  THE STICKYINESS WAS GONE.
NOW THE SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTING OFF THE YARDS AND STREETS. A CLEAN START TO A NEW DAY.

   A CHANGE HAS COME!

IT WAS AS IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE-THE KIDS SLEEPING THROUGH ALL OF THIS-DEB AND MIKE STILL AT TAMMY AND MARCUS'S HOUSE. THE THREE OLDER ONES WITH US- IN BED-TUCKED AWAY-DEPENDING ON US FOR SECURITY- YES THE CHANGE HAS COME- AND AS IN THE ABOVE- WE ARE ALL GOING TO ENJOY THE VIEW!



TO LOVE-TO HELP-TO SERVE-TO PROTECT-TO HEAL- THE CHANGE!

I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE LAST MESSAGE-ONE THAT IS GOING TO BE THE MANTRA OF THE NEW BEGINNING-ONE THAT WILL HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON OUR FAMILY AND THOSE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH.

READ IT WITH CARE-STORE IT AWAY IN YOUR HEART AND MIND-AND BELIEVE IT TO BE YOUR PATHWAY TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE!


 


                      LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE PLUS-----JUICE PLUS!!!!!!

WE ALL DO , AND HERE IS THE PROOF! LIVING AND CHANGE IS OUR WAY!




                           YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A GREAT LIFE!

BLOG DAY # 123 IN A DAY OF MY LIFE. FINAL DAY!

     WELL IT IS HERE, THE FINAL 8 HOURS. HOW WILL IT BE SPENT?

I will tell you right now- that she wrapped everything up this past four days. Debby and Mike and the three girls are here- stayed overnight. THE POOL IS OPEN-GONING TO BE CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES TODAY-WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

After 33 1/2 years- stress unbelievable the last 5 yrs. More changes coming in the dog eat dog corporate world- IT IS TIME TO HANG UP THE BRIEF CASE- KICK OFF THE SHOES- AND SLOWLY WALK INTO THE POOL WITH YOUR FIVE GRANDCHILDREN!

THAT IS WHAT THIS LAST DAY WILL BE! YES- THERE WILL BE HER PHONE- ONE LAST DAY TO THE LIFELINE OF HER JOB. THERE WILL BE MULTIPLY CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS ASKING HER FOR ADVICE- QUOTES- PRICING- AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN SHE FINALLY QUITS TAKING CALLS AT 7 OR 8 PM AT NIGHT.

THERE WILL BE A RECORDED MESSAGE- STATING A FINAL GOODBYE- THEN A TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THEM TO TRY AND GET HELP WITH WHATEVER PROJECT THEY HAVE GOING ON. THE UMBICAL CORD WILL BE CUT- AND FINALLY PEACE AND WELL BEING WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.


Last night- with her daughters and four other people- they attended a well ness presentation for Juice Plus abot 20 mins. away. They were back by 8:40 pm. Mike and I sitting on front porch watching the three girls riding their scootes-skateboards- THEY WERE GOING TO GO TO A RESTURANT IN OUR TOWN CENTER- AND THE FOUR OF THEM WERE GOING TO SIT OUTSIDE AND HAVE A GLASS OF WINE.


Those 2 1/2 hours is what the new Sherry will be doing. Presenting Health and Nutrition to hundres of people-families-friends-strangers. Then sitting back- sip some wine and reflect on how she is helping people and their children.

CAREGIVING-BEING SINCERE-HELPING-ASSISTING- THOSE ARE HER WORDS NOW FOR JOB DESCRIPTION. A NEW FIELD- ONE THAT SHE HAS BEEN PART OF FOR 6 1/2 YEARS- ALL BE IT PART TIME. FULLFILLING- AWARDING- REWARDING-
THOSE ARE ALSO PART OF THE NEW BOOK AND THE FIRST CHAPTER. YES , IT WILL BE DIFFERENT- BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD DIFFERENCE!

   SHE IS A NEW PERSON!

YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGE-FEEL THE DIFFERENCE-HEAR THE MUSIC IN HER VOICE!
   NOW IT IS THE WHOLE WEEK!

I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE LAST THOUGHT-THIS IS A QUOTE BY A MENTOR THAT SHE HAS FOLLOWED OVER THE LAST SIX PLUS YEARS. SHE HAS FOLLOWED THIS FROM DAY ONE IN JUICE PLUS-SHE HAS MADE IT A QUEST FOR OUR FAMILY TO FOLLOW THESE WORDS. AND IT HAS WORKED!


      KEEP THIS QUOTE ON YOUR MANTLE-LOOK

AT IT EVERY DAY- TAKE CARE OF IT FOR IT IS THE MOST PROFOUND STATEMENT!

SHERRY LIVES BY THESE WORDS. I ONCE HAD A PLANT MANAGER-AND THE THING I REMEMBER THE MOST ABOUT HIM WAS HIS STATEMENT.

"IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO FOLLOW-YOU HAVE TO WALK THE TALK!"

THAT IS SHERRY - THAT IS WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT IN HEALTH AND NUTRITION. SO TODAY IS THE LAST DAY- BUT THE FIRST DAY OF A NEW BEGINNING- SHE SLOWLY WILL WALK INTO THE WATER WITH THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES THE MOST AND CARES FOR-HER GRANDCHILDREN- THESE LITTLE PEOPLE WHOM SHE HAS TAKEN UNDER HER WING- AND TODAY ARE HEALTHY-THRIVING CHILDREN WHO KNOW THE ABOVE STATEMENT BY JIM ROHN!



YES GRANMA-WE KNOW WHAT IS BAD FOR US- AND WE CHOOSE GOOD THINGS TO EAT-JUST ASK US!


HELLO NEW WORLD-GOODBYE TO THE OLD-THE ABOVE IS HER "WHY" SHE WILL DO WHAT SHE IS ABOUT TO DO.  LAST DAY-THE BEGINNIN!!! HGD

BLOG DAY # 122 in a day of my life. A CHAPTER OF LIFE IS ABOUT TO CLOSE-A NEW BEGINNING IS ABOUT TO OPEN.

      "TOMORROW-TOMORROW-TOMORROW!"  It is almost on us. Yes, after 33 1/2 years, the book is about to close. To be put away, shelved, occassionally brought back out, a chapter here and there re read. A glimpse of a picture on its pages remarked about. Then neatly closed and put back on the shelf.



A LOT OF SADNESS THIS WEEK AND A LOT OF EMOTIONAL TURNS. AFTER ALL-IT IS A LIFE TIME OF WORK THAT IS GOING AWAY!


     BUT, AND IT IS A VERY BIG BUT- SHE IS DOING IT HER WAY!


                     EACH TIME YOU HAVE PUT YOUR DREAMS TO SLEEP
                     GOD WILL SEND YOU A BURNING BUSH WHICH WILL
                     IGNITE YOUR PASSION
                     GOD HAS PLACED THAT BURNING DESIRE INSIDE OF YOU
                     TO FULFILL  HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

   YESTERDAY-LATE LAST NIGHT-SHE POSTED THIS TO HER FACEBOOK PAGE.
   IT SAYS IT ALL. YOU HAVE TO BE YOU-YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT DREAM .    



THAT PASSION IS THERE-JUST WAITING TO COME FORTH-WAITING FOR THE SWITCH TO TURN ON.

                  TOMORROW-TOMORROW-TOMORROW-THE PASHION IGNITES!

WE ARE BUT A SECOND IN TIME ON THIS WORLD OF OURS-ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE HOW THAT SECOND IS SPENT. THE CHOICE YOU MAKE IS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE WORK WILL BE.



THE SMILE IS THERE-THE REST OF THAT SECONDS LIFE WORK IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE-SEE THE RADIANT RAYS OF HOPE COMING OUT. LISTEN TO THE LILT OF HER VOICE.  YOU CAN SEE-HEAR AND FEEL THE PASSION.



THE PEOPLE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH-ARE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO BE WITH.



    THE PEOPLE OF THE NEXT CHAPTER-FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. THE PASSION IS THE BURNING BUSH.




      IT IS NOT OFTEN THAT YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE- THAT CHOICE THAT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE THE PEOPLE YOU MEET. THAT CHOICE TO BE FREE OF STRESS. TO ACTUALLY LIKE AGAIN THE PURPOSE THAT YOU ARE MEANT TO BE AND DO.


       TOMORROW-TOMORROW-TOMORROW! IT WILL BE HERE.THE BOOK LAID AWAY. THE TEARS SHED AND DRIED AND GONE. BUT A CALM PREVAILS. YOU SEE, THE SPARKLE IS BACK- AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS WHY I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

TO MY WIFE AND FRIEND-THE PATH IS LONG AND NARROW-BUT IT IS ALSO STRAIGHT-AND YOU ARE JUST BEGINNING - JUST STARTING TO FULFILL THAT BURNING DESIRE. YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION TO MANY- AND THEY ARE ALL LINED UP BEHIND YOU TO START DOWN THAT PATH.

IT IS LINED WITH A FRAGRANCE-ONE THAT YOU SMELL OF SWEET SUCCESS. IT IS LINED WITH SOUNDS. THOSE THAT YOU HEAR CHEERING YOU ON! IT IS LINED WITH SIGHT, SEEING IS BELIEVING.

TOMORROW, TOMORROW, TOMORROW- THE END AND THE BEGINNING!

I HOPE THIS SHEDS SOME LIGHT ON ANOTHER DAY IN OUR LIVES. PEACE BE WITH YOU!    HAVE A GREAT DAY-WE ARE AND WILL HAVE ONE!



 

BLOG DAY # 121 IN A DAY OF MY LIFE. FACT OR FICTION-THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

     I WATCH A PROGRAM ON SYFY CALLED FACT OR FICTION. IT IS WHERE THEY TRY TO PROVE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IF A VIDEO IS FACT OR FICTION!

I find this entertaining, as I often , in my own mind, watch the newscast in the same way. In my case, I try to filter as much as I can and then use other sources to see if what is presented is fact or fiction.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED- POLITICIANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE, FALL INTO THE LATTER , AS THEY TRY TO PRESUADE YOU TO THEIR WAY OF THINKING. JUST MY OPINION!

SO I HAVE NOTICED SOME THINGS ON FACEBOOK,  AND THEY CAN BE FUNNY.
HERE ARE A COUPLE THAT CAUGHT MY EYE, ARE THEY FACT OR FICTION- OR IN SOME CASES FUNNY AND FACT OR FICTION?

   THIS IS FUNNY-BUT IS IT TRUE?


IT COMES OUT EVERY DAY THAT DRUGS CAN HELP AND CAN HARM YOU. I PREFER NOT TO TAKE MEDICATION-TO FIGHT COLDS-FLU-ETC. WITH WHAT NATURE HAS GIVEN US-HOWEVER- IF I AM BADLY HURT- BLEEDING- IN DANGER OF LOSING SOMETHING-LIFE-LIMB-SIGHT ETC. THEN I AM GOING TO USE WHATEVER SAVES ME.

   THIS HAS BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME-

FACT OR FICTION?  IN MY CASE- POPEYE HAD IT RIGHT! YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!



FACT OR FICTION? THERE ARE OVER 4000 PHYTONUTRIENTS IN AN APPLE!
GROWING UP- I CONSTANTLY HEARD- AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!  




FACT OR FICTION?  THIS IS SOME HEAVY THINKING- NOT FUNNY- BUT I THINK THIS IS A PROFOUND STATEMENT- ARE WE BEING LED INTO A SOCIETY THAT BELIEVES EVERYTHING WE ARE TOLD- OR DO WE STILL HAVE THE SKILLS TO MAKE CHOICES?




FACT OR FICTION? ANOTHER ONE TO MAKE YOU THINK! HOW DO OUR CHILDREN PRECIEVE THE WORLD OF TODAY?





FACT OR FICTION? SUBMITTED TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE FROM A TOWER GARDEN GROWER, ON A ENCLOSED GLASS PATIO- IN A CONDO! LOOKS GREEN AND YUMMY TO ME!


FACT OR FICTION?   EMERSON- I THINK THAT SAYS IT ALL!



FACT OR FICTION? VERTICLE FARMING- A WAY OF THE FUTURE? YOU DECIDE.



FACT OR FICTION?  SODA-DIET SODA- OR POP AS WE CALLED IT BACK HOME- DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES TO YOU? THE OLD TIMES USED PEPSI OR COKE TO CLEAN OFF BATTERY TRMINALS- I KNOW- BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THIS.  ALSO- TAKE A RUSTY NAIL AND PUT IT INTO A GLASS OF SODA-SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SUGAR- AND PRESERVEATIVES- FACT OR FICTION?



FACT OR FICTION? DID YOU KNOW THAT SUGAR -WHILE NOT CAUSING CANCER- DOES CAUSE IT TO SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY?



FACT OR FICTION? IN JAPAN, THIS MELON COSTS $200.00!! FACT-FROM MY GOOD FRIEND MARI WHO IS FROM JAPAN- AND WE THINK IT COSTS MONEY TO EAT HEALTHY HERE!



FACT OR FICTION? TOWER GARDENS- A WAY TO GROW VERTICALLY-COSTS LESS-TAKES UP LITTLE SPACE-EYE APPEALING-CAN BE GROWN INSIDE OR OUTSIDE-AND SHOPPING JUST OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR!



FACT OR FICTION? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT MONSANTO-ASK THE LITTLE AMERICAN FARMER- IF THERE ARE ANY LEFT-CHECK OUT THE PBS MOVIE "FOOD INC" AND THEN LOOK AT WHAT THEY CONTROL- AND THEN-GOOGLE ALL THE POLITICIANS WHO ARE CONNECTED TO THEM! FACT OR FICTION?

    LIFE IS GOOD!



FACT OR FICTION? HOW WE LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO SERVE US-RIGHT OR WRONG-!

I HOPE THIS LITTLE ARTICLE- BRINGS SOME THOUGHT INTO YOUR DAY-THERE IS TRUTH OUT THERE- YOU JUST HAVE TO FILTER IT FROM THE FICTION. I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE MORE FACT OR FICTION?

  SOMETIMES-THE INNOCENTS HAVE IT ALL RIGHT!


EVERYONE WHO READS THIS-HAVE A GOOD DAY- SMILE-LOOK AT THE WORLD-MAKE THAT GLASS HALF FULL- FOR IF YOU LET THEM- THEY WILL SLOWLY SIPHON IT AWAY FROM YOU!

                                       FACT OR FICTION?    YOU DECIDE!

BLOG DAY # 120 in a day of my life. There she comes just a walkin down the street!

      I woke up feeling like I was on the wrong side of a JACKHAMMER! Thirty years ago today-I had a headache and a hangover. You ask- what the hell are you talking about. You see, it was the day after- THE DAY AFTER WE WERE MARRIED 30 YEARS AGO YESTERDAY! And yes, I REMEMBER!

 " YOU RE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE"     " CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU"    " YOU'D BE LIKE HEAVEN TO TOUCH"
"I WANNA HOLD YOU SO MUCH"   " AT LONG LAST LOVE HAS ARRIVED"   " AND THANK GOD I AM ALIVE "   " YOU'RE  JUST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE"

                                   "  CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU!! "

THE BEGINNING OF THAT SONG SAYS IT ALL ON HOW I FELT MY WEDDING DAY 30 YEARS AGO JUNE 5TH  1982.

     The head was pounding- we had celebrated at the Jube in Olean New York with my brother and were headed to Toronto, stay over night and catch a flight out on Sunday morning for the Dominican Republic.

    that is how I know I had one terrific headache- BUT--when you are in love and adore the person you just married- well -- it did not matter- and the same is true thirty years later.

WITHOUT THAT MARRIAGE- THIS PICTURE WOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED-THE PEOPLE HERE WOULD OF GONE IN DIFFERENT DIRECTION- BECAUSE ALL OUR LIVES WOULD OF BEEN DIFFERENT.

"AND THANK GOD I AM ALIVE  YOU'RE JUST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE"




      THAT DAY WAS A NEW BEGINNING FOR BOTH OF US. PAST HISTORY WAS GONE- A NEW ONE WAS IN THE MAKING- AND IT HAS SURVIVED TO THIS DAY. WE JUST WERE NOT MARRIED- BUT WE WERE FRIENDS- AND IT HAS GONE TO BEST FRIENDS. WHENEVER WE NEED TO TALK- THE SOUNDING BOARD IS THERE.  YOU DO NOT FIND THAT VERY OFTEN.

" I WANT TO HOLD YOU SO MUCH  AT LONG LAST LOVE HAS ARRIVED"




    THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ABOVE PICTURE IS WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT AND WHAT HAS KEPT US CLOSE- FAMILY-OUR MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER.  WE HAVE SHARED A LIFETIME WITH THEM. AND THEY ARE NOW SHARING BACK- A GIFT THAT GOES TO THE HEART AND BEYOND.


                                           "YOU'D BE LIKE HEAVEN TO TOUCH"


     WE HAVE BLAZED A PATH- ONE IN WHICH GOOD HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL- FOR IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TOGETHER- THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

             FROM THEIR EARLY BEGINNINGS-WE HAVE INSISTED THAT THEY BE GIVEN
  THE OPPORTUNITY THAT MANY CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE. YES- WE BLAZED THE PATH- WE DID IT AS ONE- AS WE HAVE ALL OUR MARRIED LIVES TOGETHER.



       SO YESTERDAY WE CELEBRATED QUIETLY- TOGETHER- AND I HAVE TO THANK THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO COMMENTED ON THE POST OF US TOGETHER- FRIENDS WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS. MEMORIES CAME FLOODING BACK- I WISH I COULD THANK EACH ONE OF YOU PERSONALLY- BUT WE ARE HERE AND YOU ARE EVERYWHERE. JUST KNOW- THE LOVE IS STILL HERE- AS IT WAS ALL THOSE MANY YEARS AGO.

     "YOU'RE JUST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE    CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU"




    "SHERRY    SHERRY BABY  SHERRY  BABY  SHERRY BABY SHERRY CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT"

"SHERRY  BABY  CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT"

"WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT TO TWIST MY PARTY"

"WHERE THE BRIGHT MOON SHINES"

"WE'LL DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY - I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE"


"SHERRY  BABY  CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT"

" YOU BETTER ASK YOUR MOMMA TELL HER EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT"

"WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT WITH YOUR RED DRESS ON"

"MMMMM YOU LOOK SO FINE"

"MOVE IT NICE AND EASY GIRL    YA MAKE ME LOOSE MY MIND"

"SHERRY      SHERRY BABY"

"SHERRY WON'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT"

"COME COME COME OUT TONIGHT  COME COME COME OUT TONIGHT"





30 YEARS GOING STRONG  THE CHOICE WASN'T WRONG- IT IS BUT A FOOTNOTE IN HISTORY- BUT A STATEMENT IN TIME--"SHERRY  SHERRY BABY  SHERRY WON'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT!"

             "OH WHAT A HEADACHE I HAD- BUT THE PAIN WAS SO WORTH IT!"

YA ALL HAVE A VERY GOOD DAY- I HAVE AND I WILL - TOGETHER WITH MY SHERRY!!!!

BLOG DAY # 119 in a day of my life. God is great-beer is good-friends are crazy!

     Here I am on Monday morning (early) , reflecting back on the last 9 or 10 days. I guess the one that stands out the most- is our arrival at Buck and Cindy's prior to our going to the beach For the first time in 20 some odd years- we had most of all our families together- missing a few here and there. It was an important time for all of us. But really for the parents. We get together every 3 to 4 months. THE KIDS NEVER SEE US ALL AT ONE TIME-ALL THEY SEE ARE THE PICTURES! NOT QUITE SURE JUST HOW THEY PERCEIVE US! LOL LOL LOL

We all have one value in our lives. A common thread that runs through out all our lives.





We build castles of dreams- we think forward to our little get together-and we thank our God every day that we are blessed with what we have.


                                                         GOD IS GREAT!!!!



   YES- WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS.THIS FRIENDSHIP GOES WAY BACK- ALMOST 35 YEARS WITH JIM AND MYSELF- FROM SOFTBALL GAMES AND TEAMS TO WORKING TOGETHER AT OLEAN TILE.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE HISTORY TO APPRECIATE THE FRIENDSHIP.  WE DO SILLY THINGS AND WE TEND TO CAPTURE THEM ON FILM. IT MAKES US LAUGH AND THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE.


                                                    BEER IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!

    OKAY- THERE IS ANOTHER

DEFINITION TO THE WORD SCRAMBLE!


WE ALWAYS HAVE UNIQUE IDEAS- LIKE LYING ON THE FLOOR- WITH THE CAMERA ON A TRI-POD- POINTING DOWN THROUGH A WINDOW ON THE SECOND FLOOR- RACING DOWN STAIRS- TO GET ON THE FLOOR LOOKING UP BEFORE THE TIMER GOES OFF AND FLASH GOES THE CAMERA! LOL LOL ! YES WE DID THAT! 


                                  "GOD IS GREAT-BEER IS GOOD"

                


       SO ON THIS OCCASION- NOTHING CHANGED- EXCEPT ONE THING-THE KIDS SAW HOW GOOFY WE CAN GET! I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND- THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING UNIQUE- A FRIENDSHIP THAT HAS ENDURED- A FRIENDSHIP THAT THROUGH THE YEARS HAS DEVELOPED INTO BEING PRICELESS!!!!


             "GOD IS GREAT-BEER IS GOOD - PEOPLE(FRIENDS ) ARE CRAZY!"

  


        YES WE ARE! WE HAVE IT ALL- WELL , SOME MAY SAY WE HAVE LOST A LITTLE - NOT ALL THERE- 5 CANS SHORT ON A SIX PACK- LIGHTS ON NO ONE IS HOME! YOU DECIDE! WE ARE WHO WE ARE.

        AND SO I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS LITTLE THOUGHT. BE WHO YOU ARE-LOVE EVERY DAY- LOVE YOUR FAMILY- LOVE YOUR LIFE- LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST- BE POSITIVE- SHARE WITH THOSE LIKE YOU THAT POSITIVE FEELING- EXPRESS YOURSELF- SHOW THE WORLD THIS IS YOUR STAGE AND YOU  WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST- SING LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW!!!!!!!!



"GOD IS GREAT-BEER IS GOOD-PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!"    I AM!
