Moses Was A Basket Case Too

I don't know why while sitting here at the vets office this came to mind. I saw this message on the reader board of a church near my house. I thought how appropriate for those of us who sometimes are scattered to the wind. So I take from this message that great accomplishments can still be achieved under any circumstances.

Do Ugly People Know How to Cook?

That is the question....and a sporadic posting

Actually it's not really a question as much as an observation. Suzy and I were at Golden Corral, no less, and this was a question that came up during dinner. The idea is that the women who have cooking shows on TV are not ugly or at least not so unattractive that it would deter audiences. Why is this? Is it to project an image or to keep the male viewers? Free Smileys If you think about it the male chefs on TV are not all like that. I guess that thought is that any woman likes a man who cooks no matter what he looks like. I thought I would throw this out there. The chef in this house at least know his tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich.

W.W.N.D.

I have been thinking about this past year and how fast it's gone by. I've been thinking about the holidays we have had. I've been thinking about the happiness and the sadness this past year has brought. I've been thinking about my family. Mandy and Scott are going to have a baby. Josh is doing well. Anna is almost as tall as I am. Caleb started Middle school. Patrick started college. These things and more have happened this past year. I find it now very difficult to even write these next words. Nanny has been gone a year today.

W.W.N.D – What Would Nanny Do? Well at the moment she would get through this blog entry. As I went through the year there were many occasions that I missed her presence, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays, Caleb’s graduation from elementary school and many more. There have been also many times that I would recall on her faith and love and remember W.W.N.D. So what would Nanny do about today? I think she would say to be thankful for the time that we had. To always know how much she loved us and that she always knew how much we loved her. I think that she would say that she is with Papa and her parents and even she will see us again someday. She would tell us that even though she is not here on Earth she is still looking out for each and every one of us. I take these things and am comforted, but I still miss my Nanny.

I created a short slideshow of some pictures that I have. I hope you enjoy.
