Cartoon of the Day - Owl Always Love You

These little guys look so cute together... they remind me of a little old couple who have been married for years and still walk down the street holding hands.

Wishing you all happiness and love and time with your families this summer.

Mom Always Said to Eat Your Vegetables

It's very important to listen to your mommy when she says to each your veggies so that you will grow nice and strong.

Now, I know my hubby is reading this, so I do NOT want to hear anything from you Bill about the green peas!!

I do not eat green peas, they are just something that I cannot stomach - they make me sick and have ever since I was a kid, even the smell makes me wrech {sorry for that image}. When I make them for my family{which I haven't done in YEARS, since it's just Bill & I}, I have to make them in a sealed boil-n-bag pouch in the microwave and let one of the boys open them. Then they have to be at the other end of the table or I can't eat my dinner.

Maybe I need therapy!!

Memorial Day 2010 in Celebration, Florida

On Monday, May 31st our little community of Celebration had our Memorial Day festivities at Founders Park at the Veteran's Memorial. It was a wonderful celebration of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

There were veterans of all wars represented and families with members of all ages, decked out in their patriotic glory. All species were represented, also.

After the invocation and singing The National Anthem, there was a short moving speech by a member of Celebration's Veteran's Club thanking those who served in the past, those serving now, and those who paid the ultimate price. Then the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and The Boy Scouts lowered the old, tattered flag and replace it with a new beautiful flag that will fly until next Memorial Day.

It was a very special, moving day, reminding us that we live in the greatest country in the world.

Old Glory flying proudly..... Thank you to the men and women who have served this country proudly so that we have the opportunity to gather together in freedom.

Memorial Day 2010

On this day of remembrance, please keep in mind the families of those who have lost loved ones doing the something that they felt was their duty - something I truly appreciate, the protecting of our country. Also, please think of those still serving both here and abroad. Remember, Freedom isn't Free! God bless America!

Thank you to all of my wonderful readers who are there for me during my son Nikolaus' deployment and are keeping me strong, I love you all. Please have a safe and happy Memorial Day and enjoy the time with your family this weekend.

So... What Are We Gonna Do Today?

I found this little guy on the site The Daily Squee and just thought he was so cute, plus he reminded me of Nano when I'm on my computer and he wants my attention.

Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

Celebration's Relay for Life

On, Friday, May 14th our town of Celebration held it's annual Relay for Life. This years theme was Broadway and the booths were amazing.

Then there was the luminary ceremony, which always gets to me... it was so beautiful. We were able to light all the way around the lake in downtown Celebration.

There was an entire street of luminaries for my friends Dennis and Amber Larkin's son Noah, who I have mentioned before. I was in awe of how many people loved Noah so much, it brought me to tears.

Our little town was able to raise just over $132,000.00 for cancer research. It is my hope that someday we NEVER have to have a Relay for Life again!

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported and that one day – cancer will be eliminated.
