Happy Birthday Eldest Daughter!

Birthdays are great milestones along the pathway of life. Today is my eldest daughters birthday. She is a great gal with a love of life, great mind, and sense of humor. She is also a loving and caring daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, nurse, and companion.



If you know her or see her today, please wish her a Happy Birthday!

New Storm, New Concerns

Looks like Ike is headed through the Gulf of Mexico towards the coast of Texas. Depending on where it lands, my family may or may not take a direct hit. They are on an island off the coast of Corpus Christi. We will follow the Hurricane as it gathers speed and heads toward the coast.

Storms are always worrisome because they are unpredictable. Especially those that twist like hurricanes and tornados. Let's just pray that when it reaches the coast, the wind would have died down as much as possible for a soft hit, and the people would follow the evacuation orders. The officials know what they are doing and people need to take heed during these dangerous times.

No furniture or possession is worth risking your life. Common sense and early reaction has saved many lives in the past. I hope people take heed and go to a safe place.

Have you been involved in a major storm lately? What did you do to prepare?

The Greatest Gift

Yesterday my daughter called with a great gift. David, my grandson, told me he loved me.

Actually he didn't quite get the grandma part, but we sure could hear the "I love you" loud and clear.

Wow!

I live in Michigan and he lives in southeast Texas. We spent a wonderful ten days together over New Year's, but that's the only time I have seen him. To hear him say those magical words was the greatest gift I've received in a long time.

Those three powerful words can make one's day. Have you told your favorite person you love them? Why not do so today!
