This last week, both of my kids were up in Arlington with their grandparents. They got to go see a movie, go ice skating and go to a water park. They had the best time. They still can't beat their Papaw in checkers.
Death of an amazing man. I remember talking to his assistant back in the early 90's when my stepmother needed a quint bypass. I had called his office to see if she could get in to see him to get a second opinion. They would be able to see her, but she decided against the second opinion.
Another blog from Miss Olive. She was the world's oldest blogger. She died today at the age of 108. Isn't she wonderful?
An Australian woman, Olive Riley, dies at 108 believed to be the world's oldest blogger, after writing a post about her deteriorating health.
Olive Riley began blogging in February 2007 after a friend suggested the idea and offered to type up the posts on her behalf.
Her blog, The Life of Riley, became an international hit, with readers logging on from the United States to Russia to hear stories about her life.
Mrs Riley' tales of surviving two world wars and the Depression, bringing up three children on her own and working as a cook in the Australian outback and a barmaid in Sydney, were also nominated for a Blogger's Choice award in 2007.
This show started tonight...........if you know me at all........you know that I love dogs. This looks like a cute show.
I checked out a Larry Carlton CD from the library last week. Love this jazz guitar sound! SWEET!!! Do you like it?
In searching for something significant to post regarding the 4th of July, I came across this video about the Declaration of Independence. It is 14 minutes long, but in my opinion, well worth it. I found it very interesting. I wanted to be reminded of just why we celebrate our independence.....
I was organizing all of the music on my computer and ran across this song........
Close your eyes and let this song penetrate your heart......
Watched this group of 5 young men from Ireland. They have a wonderfully unique sound. They are coming here in November. I want to see them in concert.
I heard this song today for the first time and it really blessed me. It just reminded me that no matter what we go through in life that God never leaves us alone. He is always there and I needed this reminder. I hope this blesses you like it blessed me........"Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you"..Hebrews 13:5
I rented this movie last night. It was very, very moving. It had a lot of subtitles. Surprisingly a lot of my 4 years of Spanish came back to me. It was very beautifully done.
This was a 10 hour series on PBS filmed on the USS Nimitz. It was fascintating and very educational. I guess my interest in watching it was that my brother was in the Marines and on an aircraft carrier also. It gave me a new appreciation for what he experienced in the Marines and a new appreciation for everyone serving in our Military to defend our freedom.
I taped this and watched it last night. I now love and appreciate the incredible music of Ella Fitzgerald! That girl can "Scat".........I think I will download some of her music and make my own CD today.
You have been warned. I bought this CD for Johnny for his 14th birthday yesterday. When this song came on today on my way home, I cranked it up and totally forgot that I am 45 years old. It is Christian Rock/Rap and I like it.
I started this movie this morning. I am thinking about my Uncle Pete the entire time, because he served in Burma in WWII.
That is why we watched the movie the night before. The kids love the movie and I didn't tell them that we would see the exhibit until the movie was over. They were totally fascinated by it! It has real pictures of the ship, a replica of a states room, the menus, dishes, perfume, a purse, a wallet, etc that was recovered from the wreckage. If you like that sort of thing, you would love seeing the exhibit. To read more about the history of the Titanic, click here.This was so cool. This is a wonderful family that is providing a haven for the homeless in Albuquerque.
