Not much new... just being the "Boss"

while the Boss is away for a month.

Keeping busy working almost daily...

Weather is finally warming up a bit.

Talked with Chris B. and his GF Lori the other day.

They sound good, but like most of us

concerned about the economy and their finances.

Fortunately John and Mary are both still working and

making ends meet, even if it's not easy.

Tawny tells us that her baby is going to be a boy-

due I think in April.

Josh is still in the military and is to be

married in June this year.

That's all the latest.

Will "report" in when there's new news.

Best to ya'll.... Remember this:

Hope your day is going great!

Was so nice to spend Christmas with my "babies"

and their significant others.

Mallory, Johnathan, Mary and Matt

We went out 4 wheelin' today and found new places and things...

Nice drive and a nice day!

Oh how I wish I could be there now! I love this comedian!


Christian performer comes to Eureka

The Times-Standard



EUREKA -- The Eureka First Assembly of God will be the setting as Christian recording artist, songwriter and comedian Mark Lowry brings the “Be the Miracle” tour to the North Coast at 6 p.m. Jan. 24.
Joining Lowry on this musical tour will be master pianist Stan Whitmire.
Lowry has spent the past 25 years on the road full time and has recorded six comedy and music videos, four of which have reached gold status with two additional recordings achieving platinum recognition. He has been featured on more than 60 of the popular Gaither Homecoming Videos, and his own video, “On Broadway,” went to the top of the Billboard Charts after its release.
”There's something for everyone at any event hosted by Mark Lowry,” said Gary Gentry, president of Premier Productions which is bringing Lowry to Eureka. “Obviously the music is Christian based, but there's a lot of variety ... there's great music, comedy and thought-provoking insight, as Mark shares from his heart. It's always fresh and exciting."
The underlying theme of the “Be The Miracle Tour,” according to Lowry, is a challenging and inspiring message to all who attend.

”The challenge is that each individual should strive to be the miracle in the lives of others,” Lowry said. “We shouldn't just wait for God to do something miraculous. We should be willing to extend ourselves as the feet and hands of Christ and actually be the miracle in someone's life.”

Ticket prices are $16.50 in advance for adults or $18.50 at the door; $14.50 for children; $14.50 for group tickets; and $14.50 for seniors. Tickets are available at the First Assembly of God, 1060 Hoover St. in Eureka, or to charge tickets by phone, call (800) 965-9324. For more information, call 442-3510 or visit http://www.marklowry.com

Kathy and I went to see "Marley and Me" last night.

All in all a cute homespun family show that will make you exasperated and frustrated, and then make you cry. It is a sweet slow moving fun movie. Aniston surprised me and Owen made me very glad he's still around. Both of them showed they are truly good actors.

Very sweet, worth watching. It's not a shoot'em up action packed movie, but a meandering through the years story of a dog and his family. Enjoy!

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.' So she did, and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.' So she did, and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticedthat she had only one hair on her head.'Well,' she said, 'today I'm goingto wear my hair in a pony tail.' So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly...

This was in my email today and it speaks volumes.... Enjoy




BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.

When I stand up fort hose I love, they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things
my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.

It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it,
I am defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself
instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to
be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea
of what they think I 'should' be.

I am outspoken,opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me,try to douse my inner flame, try to
squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.

I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

WISHING ANNA FERRIN A

HAPPY HEALTHY BIRTHDAY

Guess where I'll be in December? Only for a week... but look out Oregon/Northern Cal..
Here I come! Yippeeee......... Thanks to those who are helping making it a reality!

Hey all- just a quick note to say I'm still out here in cyberspace. My sister Kathy did a photo shoot after she did my hair the other day. Here's the one I like best.

Still thinking of moving to Oregon - but need work and a place to live (not in town!) need country if possible.... so if you have any insider info please share.

Keeping busy working, putting out applications for part time work as the post office is cutting back and I'm just not getting enough hours to make ends meet. That would be why the urgency to think Oregon....

Ok, that's it for now. Happy Turkey Day in case I don't get back here before then.

So, not much new- but as most of you know, tomorrow is my birthday. I'm not sure I have any opinion one way or the other about feeling or getting older. I guess that must be a good thing.

I am always telling myself to find the positive in everything, and to wait for the lesson. If we pay attention there are so many lessons and opportunities every day.

So that's my "wisdom" of the day.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!
