On,off, on off

That’s what our neighbors light over her garage was doing the other night. Bill looked out the window and told me Marilyn’s light is flashing on and off. Since I was still dressed and he was in his pj’s I said I would go over and check on her. We wondered of course if she was okay so I put my shoes on and went over there. I knocked on her door and started to open it when she came to the door and I asked her if she was alright. She had been crying but she was okay. It turns out that she had been watching a movie on television and she said she always cries at movies. I told her we wondered if everything was okay because her light on the garage kept flashing but it turns out that something was wrong with the light. She was thankful for me coming over to check on her but felt silly because I caught her crying lol. I told her I was just glad she was okay and that nothing was wrong. I do wonder if the light might have shorted out eventually though and maybe cause some problems there. It’s fixed now and all is good Smile

It seems things are getting worse in Japan if that’s possible. The nuclear reactors are presenting a huge danger and I hope and pray they can get them contained so no more radiation is leaked. I feel so bad for them. I can’t even begin to imagine what they are going through.  So many have lost loved ones not to mention everything they owned. They have a long road ahead of them to rebuild and how do you even begin to do that? My heart goes out to them.

Well Brody just woke up so I guess my day has started. Please have a good day. Go out and do something fun. I think I might take Brody outside and go for a walk today. It’s suppose to get all the way up to 59 and that’s going to feel great!!!

Don’t forget to…

Live, Laugh & Be Happy!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

    Nice of you to check up on your neighbors. From our kitchen window, we can see the tv in our neighbors house. She's an elderly lady and one night I could see the tv was on, but no lights were on it the rest of the house, so I called her to see if she was ok. Turned out she likes watching tv with the lights off and I never noticed it before.

    Another neighbor has a motion light on their garage. They don't have it set correctly. It's so sensitive that if a bug flies by the light comes on and then it shines right at our house. We don't complain, because it's almost like having a security light on our house but someone else is paying for it.

    Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day Sherry!

    That was good of you to check on your neighbor. I cry at anything sad or sentimental in a movie too.
    Prayers still in place for the people in Japan.

    A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing... and you Sherry, are certainly a good neighbor to have. Two thumbs up to you for showing concern. I live in the country and I am very fortunate to have good neighbors as well, nothing like when I lived in the big city.

    A reassessment of nuclear energy is required; one based on facts and reasoning. Anyone who says there is no problem is in denial, deluded, or their words are strategic.

    Nuclear energy is not something to take chances with. Any technology that we choose to use, we have a duty to use it responsibly. A quote springs to mind: (I remember it being by Aldous Huxley, however I cannot find the quote to confirm this)

    The quote is: "...no discovery in itself is either good or bad but depends on man what he does with it..."

    Hopefully, the situation at the Fukushima plant has reached its peak in terms of danger, and the slow process of control and containment can begin.

    The way I see it: what comes out of the Fukushima events: too close for comfort.

    Just making it a point to stop by your page and give you a friendly reminder that weekends are all about R & R for the most part. So, here’s hoping that you get the opportunity to just sit back and relax… Cheers Sherry!

    Sherry, can you come out tonight!

    You are being missed. I am thinking that we may have to knock on your door and see if you are ok. Perhaps Brody has his grandmommie tied up and gagged. Hope you are being nice to him. Bwahahaha!

I would hurt myself if I tried that. He’s such a funny kid and ya gotta love him.  He’s finally getting the potty training down pat. Well, for the most part that is. he still won’t go #2 on the potty  We’ve caught him a couple of times but mostly he’ll hold it and tell us to put a diaper on him.  I don’t know what it will take to get him to do that.  We’ll keep plugging along, he’ll get it someday. Terry and I met Cindy and Ursula for lunch at the Red Robin Tuesday.  It’s always a good day and lots of fun and I really enjoy doing that. I wish more of us could meet somewhere for lunch and talk face to face. Wouldn’t that be nice?  When (not if) I win the lottery I will come to each of your homes and take you to lunch. How’s that for a plan " I had to take my sons gf to Madison yesterday to get the results of her angiogram. They wanted to see just where her aneurysm is so they know the best way to remove it.  We where hoping that they could go...

William is scheduled to have the catheter ablation on the 9th, 2 days after his 19th birthday. They are going to do another sonogram on his legs first to make sure there is no scar tissue on the veins that they need to use, if there is they have to find another way to do it. I’m going to go with them of course. I just couldn’t stay home and wonder all day what’s going on. If all goes well (and it will) he’ll go in in the morning and go home late afternoon. He seems to be fine with it and says he’s not nervous but the day of he might be. I know I would be and he doesn’t remember anything from his other surgeries. Last week he had an echo-cardiogram and other tests done to see how his heart is doing from his past surgeries etc. and they said that all looks really good. I’m sure grateful for that. Even though I know he’ll be fine I’m still nervous and anxious and will be happy when it’s all over and he’s back home. Brody has been keeping me busy. He sure is a curious tyke. He likes to ge...

The Statue of Liberty

As with most every place you visit as a tourist in N.Y. you have to go through security. However, this is the only place we went to that I saw an armed soldier standing guard. Miss Liberty was a gift of friendship from the people of France Oct. 28th 1886 as universal symbol of freedom and democracy. She was dedicated on October 28, 1886 and designated as a National Monument in 1924. A symbolic feature that people cannot see is the broken chain wrapped around the Statue's feet. At the bottom of her robe, there is broken chains that symbolize her free forward movement, symbolizing to the world with her torch the freedom from oppression and servitude. Ticket prices aren’t too bad, only around $17.00 for adults. You can only get to the Island by the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Ferry. Personnel and privet boats are not allowed to dock on the islands. The line was long and it was another hot day the day we went. Thankfully there were vendors there selling water and ice cr...
