WE HAVE A BABY!!!!

Tawny gave birth to a baby boy about 3:00 pm...

Will add details when we get 'em. Grandparents... wow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALYNDA!!!

Love & Miss you

Well, like the photo says... someone has to go- with all the postal job cuts and cutbacks- my position was cut and I will soon be without a job... I could agonize and panic... or I could go with my gut feeling that there is something exciting coming and change can be a good thing. "I think I'll take #2 Alex"....

Think about it, if we focus on the negative, we attract negative to us. If we focus on positive - we attract positive to our lives. I am contemplative and wondering... I am open to changes and new possibilities. Please add your positive energy with mine and let's see where this goes....

For the blind the poster says "The financial crisis is forcing companies to make tough decisions, there is a risk the we might need to lay off Andre'... " (That's my work name lol)

Some people have trouble with all those 'shalls' and

'shall not's' in the Ten commandments.

Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms..

So, some folks got together and translated the

'King James' into 'County' language.....

No joke, read on... The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments

(posted on the wall at First Baptist Church in Summersville , West Virginia )

......

(1) Just one God

(2) Put nothin' before God

(3) Watch yer mouth

(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'

(5) Honor yer Ma &Pa

(6) No killin'

(7) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal

(8) Don't take what ain't yers

(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'

(10) Don't be hankerin' of yer buddy's stuff

Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think?

DO NOT ASK THE LORD TO GUIDE YOUR FOOTSTEPS IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO MOVE YOUR FEET!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRI aka MOM!!!!

HUGS & KISSES TO YOU!!!!

Went to a movie with my sister Kathy- totally cute and so absolutely true of life. Really got a kick out of this movie. Several stars in this "cute comedy" including Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long, Kevin Connolly, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore.
Worth taking a look at! Go see this one!

Today I will make a difference.

I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful.

Today I will make a difference.

I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark.

Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving.

Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble...I will get up. It's OK to fail...I will rise again.

Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.

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...
