Creative Juices

Thank you all for your kind comments; my creative juices are coming back. I just need that sweet thing called "time".

We have just found out that dad has cirrhosis of the liver; they need to run test to find out what stage. Since, he is not a drinker and has never touched the stuff; they are thinking it is his gout medication. So maybe this will explain some of the crazy things that have been going on with him. It is hard to watch your parents get old. They don't want to and you don't want them to. They want you to stay the child and them the parent but as the years progress the tables turn. I sometimes wish that we lived as the Walton's did; all together. Parents, children and grandchildren. Yes, you have problems; but like with any family, you work them out and proceed on.

Memorial Day............. and how to celebrate.

Alamo North had a great write up about how to celebrate Memorial Day and proper flag etiquette and a place where you can order flags from; and Yes, they are MADE IN AMERICA.

the site to look for flags and service flags is www.americanflags.com.

Wonderful information.

Happy...... not so happy>>>............................

I finally got around to visiting all of you. I have been sooo busy. Dad has Dr. Apt's everyday and between that a new computer program and all these graduations; I have lost my creative juice. Michelle at her peanut butter and jelly life says the same thing. So, today at lunch; I'm going to take a quick trip to my favorite antique/ not so antique place and see if I can come up with something to get me out of this mood.

I like to be Happy.............. and happy is where I want to be.

Our Lady ........Liberty..............

As I am preparing to decorate the school for the next theme; I have come up with Red, White and Blue; and Fun Facts about the Statue of Liberty.

So here is what the kids will learn.

Her Birthday is October 28, and this year she will turn 123 years old.

She is 305 feet tall; from the ground to the tip of her torch.

There are 354 steps inside and 25 viewing windows in her crown.

Her official name is; "Liberty Enlightening the World".

She is recognized the world over as the symbol of Freedom and Democracy.

Her designer was French sculptor, Frederic Aguste Bartholdi and she was completely funded by the French people.

How great it is to live in America.

Remember your roots, remember the sacrifices made; for freedom isn't free.
