Why it seems like only yesterday you were just a toddler. You've come through a lot, but I'm sure you'll presevere. ...despite who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or the Congress.
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
Oh, by the way, happy birthday, Grandpa.
Love,
Sheryn

Just wondering....
The other day the US Congress held a moment of silence in remembrance of Michael Jackson.
Did they hold one for Farrah Fawcett who passed away the same day?

Target
Confession time: Today was only the 4th time in my life that I had been in a Target Store. Times 1 and 2 were pre surgery and nothing was really appealing to me at the time. Time 3 was a month ago when I was in Illinois and I do admit that I was impressed. So, today when I was on the way to do some grocery shopping, I decided to stop in at Target. There are 3 of them within a 10-mile radius of my house.
I was impressed. It was clean, neat, organized, and very well stocked. It wasn't crowded and the people that were there seemed nice and polite. It wasn't noisy - I'm not even sure they had any MUSAK playing. AND, their prices were even cheaper than Walmart's prices. I was in Wally World yesterday and when I compared some of the prices today, I was shocked at some of the differences.
I just may have to readjust my way of thinking and frequent the local Targets more often. The one think I didn't check out was their yarn department - wonder if they have one and what it's like.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!
I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since you went to be with Mommy. I still miss you both.
But, I remember all the fun times: laughing at the supper table on Circular Avenue til butterscotch pudding came out of my nose; singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" on Father's Day at SMS; waiting on Christmas morning for you to turn the lights on on the Christmas tree; teasing you about the moths each time you opened your wallet; curling up in your lap when I was cold or scared; watching you laugh whenever Foster Brooks came to the microphone on the Dean Martin Roast - he didn't even have to say a word and you were laughing; learning all about baseball at the dinner table; and so much more.
I always knew I had the best dad in the entire world. Guess that's why I miss you so much.
Love,
Sher

Memorial Day
It is May 24 - Happy Memorial Day to veterans and current service men and women.
IT IS THE SOLDIER
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Thank you all. It isn't said enough, so THANK YOU AGAIN!

The Way I Figure It...
As long as time, budget, and memory serve me well, I will soon have replaced all the old Thomas Edison type light bulbs with the new, energy smart, lasts-100-years, squiggly bulbs. Even on sale, they're not the cheapest item in the aisle. BUT... If they're as good as they say, I will NEVER have to replace another light bulb.
So, what am I going to do with all the old light bulbs my father gave me before he moved from the Cape ~ 5 years ago?

Happy Birthday, Mom
Dear Mom,
I can't believe that it's been four years since you passed away. However, each April 15 I celebrate you and your birthday but I remember you and think about you and Daddy every day. How could I forget? It's Income Tax Day as well. LOL. You would've been 86 today.
As a funny aside, YOU were the original FLY LADY!
Were you proud of me last Sunday as I joined the choir and sang the Hallelujah Chorus at the end of the Easter Service? I think I did the alto pretty well - but then, I had a great teacher.
Miss you!
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Love,
Sherrie
