I went last night with my youngest to see American Sniper, it was captivating and in my 44 years, I've never been to a movie where the entire theater was silent when the movie ended. I was the last one in the theater and just observed everyone silently taking it all in. My father served in the US Army in WWll (yes WWll) and he would never talk to us about it, he worked nights because he had nightmares about it even after I was born ( when he was 45 years old). This movie gave me an insight to hi...Friday, March 6th 2015
Happy Friday! Im going to get a little deep for a Friday but I have to share this thoughtI am very fortunate to have positive people and people of strong faith, all faiths in my life who pray for the people I hold in my heart.

Good Morning! I had the most wonderful weekend! I had my Grandson on both Saturday and Sunday, he is too much, so fun and getting so big. We made forts out of blankets and read books, learned how to eat cereal with milk all by himself, cleaned up after our meal, throwing out our trash like a BIG HELPER, brushing our teeth, played blocks and tag. His new thing is sharing his food; a raisin for him, and then feeding one to Grandma. Just thinking of him brings a huge smile across my face....
