Hudson

I had to steat this pic from Hudson's blogsite and post it on my own - how adorable.

Hudson is my GREAT-NEPHEW and what a cutie!! Here he is with his little buddy Braeden. Hudson is, of course, the cute one on the left! Love ya' little man!

Recovered

Okay, I believe I am recovered from the election. I am not in control anyways - only the Lord and I know that He is in control.

Well, we are opening the Skate Shop on Saturday and are down to the wire to get things done. We still have a second coat of paint for the floor, display racks to put together and inventory to price. The kids are SO excited. It has been fun to do all this together as family. I am trying not to stress out too much, which everyone knows is hard for me! I can't wait to get some rest on Sunday! The good news is that I now have new plumbing and electrical in my kitchen - now if I could just have some walls, cabinets, floors and appliances.

What a sad evening.

But, as usual, John McCain came out the classier man with his concession speech and urged Americans to support our President Elect. Sorry, John, can't do it.......

No more blogging for awhile.

Terrified for my children's future.

The Skate Shop

Well, we will be having our grand opening of the skate shop this weekend, Saturday, November 8th at 9:00 a.m. We are a little nervous and still have a LOT to do before Friday, but we are also very excited for the opportunity. Here a couple of pics of the place.

To all my dear family and friends, I pray that this is not our last evening not under the impending "rule" of The Obama - pray, pray, pray!

Well, I realize that I have been blogging WAY too much about politics and have been letting it consume way too much of my time. God is in complete control of this election and I must just pray about it and trust in Him. I realized this morning that I need to be putting as much effort lately into my devotional time and quiet time with God as I have been into watching Fox News every night! :)

I am praying today for all my friends and family - for blessings during tough economic times, for wisdom and discernment and also for peace in knowing that you are loved by the Creator of the Universe! Love to all,

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

4 MILLION $'S FOR AN AD! ARE U KIDDING ME?

WOW - that is insane! Crazy insane and I can still not believe that people are drinking the Kool-Aid! That is 4 million dollars that could have helped some VERY needy people! I am just sick over this type of crazy public campaing financing insanity (from a man (?) who was against public campaing financing???

P.S. - Doesn't that couple look really scared of him?

Twas the night before elections

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotion all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe

With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

I peered out of my window

Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!

" On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi"

He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause

And as he flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think

On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
