Thank you my dear hearted friend Thank You . . if you only knew how often I turn to the Lord, how often I cry, whine, beg, Pray, plea, promise. . how often. . honestly I feel "guilty" about it. . what I have discovered thou is not only should I be talking to Him & really need to begin to listen 
which is a challenge for me 
. . What a GORGEOUS look! 
Wanted to take a moment and wish Chris, Jenny, Jill, Lil Chris & Zachary a Happy Birthday again....seems like the years are just a rollin on by....don't know where they are going!!!
I noticed that I forgot to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!!! That was a big OOOPS...well if you know me you know it was just that...oooops.....the 4th was really good except for the neighbor boys who thought that they had to put on their own Fourth of July Spectacular....which most of it fell around the car, pond, dog, houses, nothing like a gigantic "Bondfire" to go with your celebration...No nothing caught on fire....but it could have!!!! We have a park like setting just down the street from us and they could have used their aspiration for pyromania down there....Hope everyone reading this had a Happy & Safe 4th!!!!
Wanted to get some exciting news out.....We are going to be "Grandparents" again....Chris and his fiance Jenny are expecting and Jennifer and her husband Tom are expecting...and I beleive the girls are just weeks apart in their pregnancys....Isn't that AWESOME!!!!
I looked at my statistics and I see that there have been over 3,ooo hits between July and August....yet not too many are dropping a line....Please do even if it to just say "Hello!"
Many things to do today and must really get them done...so for know Take care and God Bless!

Hope Everyone had a wonderful & Blessed Easter!

Hello Again...
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a crumby day and kneads it!
Hello's to everyone!
A very good friend of mine sent this to me today and I wanted to pass it on to the rest of you's! Hope you are all enjoying this Labor Day Weekend! God Bless Everyone!
"Laborer's Song"
From the mountain and the valley,
From the wayside and the glen,
From the street and from the alley,
Come the songs of working men.
Where the fire is brightly glowing,
By the furnace and the mold,
Where the lurid flame is flowing,
Labor's songs are sung and told.
Where the hammers ply the quiest,
And the anvil's notes resound,
Where the sparks are flying thickest,
There do labor's songs abound.
Where the husbandman is plowing,
Throwing up the yielding soil,
And the sower busy sowing
That which yields him bread for toil;
Where the sickle gleams so brightly,
As the reaper strides along;
Where the gleaners follow lightly,
There they chant the labor song.
Where the ponderous wheels are rushing,
In the mill so worn and old, —
Hark ! the songs of labor gushing
As are crushed the grains of gold.
Thus, from mountain and from valley,
From the wayside and the glen,
From busy street and crowded alley,
Come the songs of working men & women.
Much Love, Linda
Hello! How's everyone doing? The weather around the country is CRAZY...I hope everyone who is having bad weather is safe and sound....Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

The 6 most annoying things kids say -- and the best ways to respond:
by Gayla on August 23rd, 2007
Ever wonder how to respond to any of the following?
“Mine!”
“It’s not fair.”
“You’re not the boss of me.”
“I want it now!”
“You never let me do anything.”
“I don’t like you.”
Now, I’ve found how the professionals say parents should respond to these types of
statements, but I’m curious as to how parents actually do respond.
We all know that the professionals aren’t always right! Right?
Now, once you’ve let your own responses, check out what the professionals say and
see how you measure up.
