SPECIAL MESSAGE!

HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND SAFE NEW YEAR!!

GOD BLESS.

LETS NOT FORGET OUR MEN AND WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD.

I DON'T BELIEVE SON OF SAM TOLD HIM TO DO IT.

A young man of 22 years of age was at home in LaPorte, Indiana with his mother. He was watching television and the mother was on the computer. The son was put into a rage and began smashing things and beating his mother. He broke the phone and cell phone so she could not call for help. The mother locked herself in the bathroom and the son proceeded to knock the door down, used a piece of wood from the door jamb to beat her for several minutes and then tried to poke her eyes out. The father arrived home just about that time and stopped the boy and called the police. As he was being taken away he kept saying the Son Of Sam told him to do it.
Three months prior he put his mother in a choke hold almost killing her when he was stopped. Again upon being taken away by police he kept saying that he was Jesus.
My question is why did they let him out the first time. Isn't what he did attempted murder?
This time it says that he MAY get 12 years in jail. Is that enough for what he did? Shouldn't there be some sort of mental treatment or testing he should have to go through?
At any rate it is good that he is behind bars now where he can do no harm to his mother or anyone else.

SPECIAL DAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

ENJOY AND BE SAFE.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

In the post prior to this I said my daughter in Texas wished she had our snow. She moved to Killeen in July from Shiner which is farther south. Being north she didn't know what kind of winter she was in store for. As I said she wished she had our snow and have a white Christmas.
About noon today she called today screaming into the phone "its' snowing it's snowing." She said it was coming down pretty good and maybe they will have a white Christmas.
Maybe you will Lorri, maybe you will.

MY DAUGHTER MISSES COLD AND SNOW.

I keep telling my daughter who lives in Texas about the sleet, rain, ice and snow we have here for the holidays and she says she wishes she was here to enjoy it. Enjoy? You have got to be kidding. Then she goes on to tell me about the 70 degree temperatures they have and how it just doesn't seem like Christmas. I think I could handle that kind of Christmas. She and the kids have been down there seven years now and have not seen snow since they left. Sure wish we could send this stuff down her way.

NEARLY DONE

With Christmas just two day away hopefully everyone is done or almost done with shopping and wrapping. I know these thing can be very stressful but you have to take it easy. Easier said than done, right.
I can say that all of my shopping and wrapping is done. I am having family and friends over on Christmas day for dinner, visiting and present exchange. As for the dinner part I am going food shopping today to get, hopefully, everything I need to have a great meal. I have ordered a sugar spiral ham from Heavenly Ham, so that takes care of the meat part but there are still the little odds and ends needed to make a great Christmas meal.
Just want to say have a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy and be careful.

IT SNOWED LAST NIGHT.

When I woke this morning much to my wondering eyes appeared a blanket of white indicating that it had snowed during the night. What a lovely sight. I can say this because I don't have to go to work because I as retired. My granddaughter Delaney was excited beyond words, she wanted to go out and play in it. This is OK but not a 6:15 a.m.. There is a snow removal service for our area but Delaney, being 8, wanted to shovel snow and of course play in it. I live in a duplex and my neighbors are up in age and she was out shoveling her drive way because he just had back surgery and has trouble with it. I told Delaney to go help my neighbor who had just shoveled a path the the mail box and went back into the house. About a half hour later I checked on Delaney and much to my surprise she had shoveled my neighbors entire drive-way. Great job for a little 8 year old weighing about 50 pounds. It gave me a warm feeling to see that she cared about others and wanted to help.
God does produce little angles.

SOLD SOME OLD GOLD

With the price of gold going up and up, one would think that they have a fortune sitting in their dresser drawers or safe deposit boxes. I had such a thought when I took in my class ring from high school and some other old pieces of what I thought was gold.
In taking these pieces of jewelery to a jeweler I found out that these were only thoughts of grandeur and even thought the price of gold in over $1000.00 don't expect to get that much. Some of the pieces were gold plated so they were rejected and a beautiful silver piece with pearls turned out to be costume jewelry. My thoughts of receiving a lot of money quickly was smashed as the final tally was presented to me on a piece of paper. I guess the expression on my face told the clerk of my disappointment as the figure on the sheet of paper read $223.41.
I accepted that amount keeping in mind that it was only junk jewelry trying to keep any sentimental feelings at bay.
