‎1.15.2012 ~ Mad's has been picking up our neighbors dog poop from their 3 dogs for 6 months so she can buy stuffed animals to give to the children in Cook Children's Hospital. She earns $20.00 a month & sets aside $10.00 each month specifically for the stuffed animals. We went and bought 12 fuzzy toys yesterday from Kohls. She is so excited to give to kiddos who are in the hospital "so they wont be scared." as she says. I love my daughter & her compassionate heart.

Laying on the floor in PetSmart taking pictures

I met sweet Sasha, the 8 month old American Bull Dog, in PetSmart today. She was playful & energetic & she captivated my girls with her all around cuteness. Okay, she captivated me as well, why do you think I took her picture.

Picture It 366

As you may have seen, I've been posting many pictures lately. I have decided (thanks to a friend's insiration) to take a picture a day for this year & share them with you. I am calling my endevor PictureIt366. Why 366, aren't there 365 days in a year you ask? Why yes, yes there is but this year is leap year so there will be 366 days hence the name PictureIt366. I hope you enjoy all my photo's as much as I have & will enjoy taking them. Have a wonderful 2012.

Clarity & Wisdom in 1863

It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God; to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord.

Know that by His divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world. May we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people?
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.

Happy Thanksgiving ~ snicker, snicker, snicker

I am truely amazed that I still laugh hysterically when I watch this episode of WKRP in Cincinati. This show had me in stiches in almost every episode, the writers and actors worked together well. They do not make them like this anymore.
