28 October HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN Due to not being employed yet, I feel as if it is past time to drive down to see my Mother in the Missouri Bootheel. So, after visiting with her I will not feel guilty about NOT getting to see her. Then I can focus on my job seeking and land a job on my return. ( Cross your fingers & toes & what-ever else you can cross ) LOL. In case you all do not realize..I have begged, pleaded and offered to go get her/ purchase Bus fare, or Plane fare for her to come here. She just will not do it. Always an excuse. At any rate..I shall leave you this upcoming week with wishing everyone a SAFE & HAPPY HALLOWEEN. I should be back by the 4th of November. I thank you in advance for stopping in to say hello. I would miss that if you did not. So, now that I have once again shown I wear my heart on my sleeve..Have a terrific week ahead as well.
Until next time....Keep Smiling.
Ciao for now.

26 October George Carlin.. GEORGE CARLIN'S NEW RULES FOR 2007
New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.
New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days --- mowing my lawn.
New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Lobster?
New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged . I have a better description for these kids: 'Lucky bastards.'
New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.
Have a great weekend everyone. Ciao for now.

Could not resist this one.
These are two pictures very similar to each other; they have three differences.
If you don't try this..you are NO FUN!
23 October Heritage Days Weekend @ The Lake with The GIRLS![]() Oh my..how the time flies when one is with great company! The girl's and I had a blast. We always arrive at the Lake House on Friday evening. We would be there sooner than dusk if we did not have our rituals before ever getting to Warsaw..Chinese Buffet Restaurant.."The Panda Garden" is our first stop. Have you ever witnessed friends devouring plates of food and just looking at one another and going..MMmmmmmm, MMMmmmmm, MMMmmmm? It is hilarious how 3 of us can pack the food in. LOL. After that first stop we head across the parking lot to shop for bargains at a clothing store called "Cato's". Here in KC area..I do not believe we have a Cato's anywhere. We probably spend a good hour in there and if we are lucky..we have shopping bags with us when we exit. Then it is time for the WalMart trek. Groceries and then some more groceries..just in case. After that we head to the Dollar Tree to find something "themed" for the weekend.Last year we had the TIARA'S depicted in previous album. This year we purchased..GRILLERZ, BOAS, and BLING RINGS. Oh my gosh!! Mine was blue, Deb H.'s was purple, Deb P's was pink, and Kim's was green. HAHAHAHAHA..We went to Heritage days "blinging"!. It was a blast.
The weather was absolutely beautiful. Middle 80's and abundant sunshine. Last year it was raining and cold. This year made up for the previous. The only evening we had a fire going at the cabin was Friday night. Had the windows and doors opened Saturday evening and was actually partying on the wrap around deck. The moon was bright and the stars were twinkling. The "girl's" purchased some Pomegranite juice to make Martini's and myself being the "tea totaler".... just a splash of sprite went into it. Yummmyyyy, I tell you. They then went for a few shots of Tequila. Now my "girl's" do not use the drab lime afterwards.Nooooo...they are SPECIAL. ORANGE slices instead. Yep, you read correctly..they use Oranges. Dancing? Oh my gosh, we get down!!! Have you ever danced so much and laughed so hard..that the next day your muscles were actually sore? If the answer is no..then you must start having a better time!! It is a "good" sore.
Deb H. has a new addition to her family. "SAM". Sam is a 5 month old birddog that went with us. He is a trip. He can dance too. He is hyper as hell and we love him dearly! Her other dog "ANNIE" is also of the same breed but is 15 years old now. Sooo...WELCOME to the family "SAMMY".
The Ozarks at this time last year is spectacular as you can see by the previous album photo however; this year the turning of the foliage has just begun. We must have encountered at least a dozen deer. Is it mating season? I am beginning to think it is. They were , of course, beautiful.
An awesome weekend with friends filled with tears, laughter, and love. Next year cannot get here soon enough.Enjoy the album.
Ciao for now. Stay healthy and warm everyone. Until next time.....

18 October GIRL'S ANNUAL WEEKEND @ Lake of The Ozarks'Tis that time again for the girl's weekend to the Lake. We eat, drink, and just have a blast! All of us have one thing in common jobwise. We were ALL "laid off" throughout the years by the same Hotel Chain. Yep...we shall pin up photos and have a nice DART FEST!!!!!~!!!!!~.
On Saturday we will drive to Warsaw and attend the Fall Heritage Days Festival throughout the town. Tents everywhere and food, food, food, and more food. Also shopping, shopping, shopping. This year, I will NOT be the one buying much ; I am the one laid off; so am pounding pavemnet for a job. Nothing as of yet. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me upon my return for a "lead".
Have a most wonderful weekend all. Will be back on Monday.
Ciao for now.

15 October BEING A PUMPKIN--
Being a good person is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all of the yucky stuff -- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a bright new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.

11 October I am one of the 55 Don't even think about using spell check!!!!!!!!

01 October VentingI usually try to keep my entries UPBEAT and POSITIVE; however there are times when I need to just type away and not be concerned about how they are perceived by my visitors. In case all of you are unaware..I am the eldest of 3. I am the "Mother" figure to the 2 younger ones. Just the way it has always been. They chose a life down the wrong pathway and I have always been hopeful ..that eventually they would "see the light" and change their lifestyles for the better. Afterall, I cannot do that for them. There is nothing more painful than to turn my cell phone on first thing in the morning to a vile and heartless message. What could have been a very pleasant day off from work has just been tainted by a vile message that was totally unexpected and inexcusable.
After hearing this message I look at my phone as if it is the phone's fault. Where the hell did this come from? Just out of the blue? I go to sit by the streaming water of my water garden and sip on my coffee. The sound is most peaceful but that damned voice mail creeps into my thoughts again. I go and sit and visit Miss Mattie's grave to replace the roses. I hear the damned voice mail again. I "tear up" and just look above at the beautiful blue sky I am blessed to have today. A smile appears; however, deep inside I am hurt and concerned that the message may not be able to be "forgiven" this time. I have had many vm's as this one and just let them pass as if they were never left. This one was like taking a knife and stabbing me in my heart and then just "twisting" it even harder. Needless to say..it hurts. Each voice mail that has been received in the past has never been so vile as this one. It did not take very many words to do so.
O.K. I have vented and I shall give it my best shot to NOT allow this vile message to interfere with the rest of my day off. I am simply going for a walk..smile at the sunshine, the beautiful beginning of Autumn weather we are experiencing here in the Midwest. Then..who knows...I may even cry more. But I am DETERMINED to lead a life of happiness; regardless of something that has torn my heart out.
Until next time..Keep Smiling.
Ciao for now....
