Take a moment to pray...

...for this amazing family. Cancer devastates families. I have the link to their CaringBridge website in the sidebar on the right. The Taylor family pours out its soul and they articulate things in a way that will break your heart. I am embarrassed by some of the inane things I post here when I read their blog. Read it....you will be touched and inspired, AND very much inclined to pray for them.

Yadda, yadda, yadda

I'd like to blog more often, but I've been running out of things to talk about, in case you haven't noticed. Part of it is me just being lazy. I need some motivation. What kind of updates would you like me to post about?

Waiting for Autumn (Florida-Autumn, that is)

It's Friday already? Gee, where does the time go?

Again, nothing much to report. It's still HOT here.

My life is boring.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I just want to say....

...one thing about the presidential campaigns. Why, why, why do we need to obtain our information of the candidates via the filter of the news media? And I mean both sides...conservative and liberal. Do we no longer think for ourselves? I wish the American public could submit questions to candidates that WE believe are important and have a forum where the politicians could respond directly to the voters of this country without a bunch of talking heads going on ad nauseum about their perspectives. And that's all I'm going to say. I'm not going to use my blog to spout off on my political opinions. I promise. :-)

Let us not forget....

O'LEARY / THE WASHINGTON POST
Each of the 184 benches in the Pentagon Memorial is mirrored in a pool of trickling water that contains an underwater light to shine each bench's underside at night. The benches are oriented along the exact path of Flight 77, arranged according to whether victims were killed in the plane or in the Pentagon.

As for me, same old, same old. Not much new to report. I started painting again. I really want to get the rest of the house down before the holidays. It's been so humid that it's really not a great time to paint. We have a little rain and wind from Ike, but it looks like it's definitely headed for Texas. I hope it weakens before that.

Hi all

Sorry I've been lazy about posting. Not much new here. Still job-hunting, weed pulling and avoiding hurricanes. Ike could pose a problem next week, but it's still too early to know for sure. Won't worry about it for now.

Joe and Linda have Wii Fit and I got to try it out last Saturday and Sunday. I did lunges for the first time in ages and my quadriceps were sore for 2 days! I am trying to do some type of physical activity every day. I'm looking forward to at least slightly cooler temps in the fall, but it won't be until late October, early November at the earliest.

I'll check in again soon. I hope you are all doing well! xoxoxo
