Pool in Progress

Do you know how disturbing it is to look outside on a 100 degree day, and not be able to jump in the big hole in the backyard? Very Disturbing!!

Thank You, Men and Women of the United States Military




I think it's something most of us probably take for granted...Freedom! Today, when men and women of the US Armed Forces are scattered across the world, by choice, protecting our freedom, while we live comfortably at home, and work at our jobs in a safe and secure environment..Let us not forget those who are out there for one sole purpose...so that we can enjoy our security here at home in America. To those who have served, or are presently serving our country, I just want to say, "Thank you!!"

Last Sunday at church, we had a Military Appreciation Service. We honored the men in our congregation that had previously served our country in the Armed Forces. Some came home wounded from war, some retired after twenty plus years of service, and some never saw the battle fronts, but all were willing, if need be, to give everything for the freedom that we enjoy today. The kids choir sang a few patriotic songs, and then we presented gifts to each of them.



In the words of Mother Theresa, "The purpose of life is not to be happy, but to matter." Men and Women of the US Military--Your lives truly matter...and again, I want to say, "Thanks!"

Rome Braves


The Rome Braves played a good game tonight, winning 5-4 over the Columbus Catfish. It was my first time to catch a Rome Braves game, and I have to say it was a lot of fun! Very different from a major league game--way more laid back! We decided to get the "Home Run Hill" seats, which are just past right field. You pay $4 for a ticket and bring a blanket and get comfy on the hill.
"Romey and Roxy"the mascots.
After the game, we enjoyed "Indendence Day" fireworks!
