The Ice Storm of 2009

Wait five minutes in Arkansas and the weather will change. I love the four seasons, but the Hubby is not as crazy about all the different extremes that we experience. It has been a wild ride the last 3 plus days, but we have been so blessed to have warmth, food and friends. Here are some of the pictures for those of you outside Northwest Arkansas.

Knitting Update

Okay, some of these were Christmas presents and some were recent baby gifts and I need to do a work in progress update but here are a few pictures to prove I am still knitting and learning new things.

A New President

I will annoy my conservative friends with this post, but that never stopped me.

Hopefully, God will guide our President and country in the future toward the changes that need to happen.

With that said . . . Bye Bye W.

Thanks for leaving us with a trillion dollar deficit,

the high unemployment rate,

thousands of our service men and women dead, maimed or injured for life,

a foreclosure of homes increase of 80%,

destroying our strong foreign policy,

not capturing Osama,

doing such a poor job of helping the gulf coast after Katrina,

lying to all the people about how you were so Pro-Life and were going to change America. I could go on for days, but I won't because today is a bright new day.

Now I will be just as tough on the new admin. Trust me. I am not a blind limousine liberal. (Remember, I still eat SPAM) I will support those that make moves in the "right" and "left" direction, but we must move and the past year has hurt all of us.

I prayed every night for W. and the post admin. (even when I didn't want to) and I encourage all of you to do the same for Mr. Obama and his cabinet as he takes America's lead post.

2009 Comments

I want comments! I let it slide in 2008, but now I must speak out. I want comments. (please take a moment to visualize me stomping my foot)

That is done. It is very simple. Just click on the comments section at the bottom of the post. The blog format has been adjusted and you DO NOT have to have a google account to leave a message. I'm just tired of hearing from you guys about the blog and never seeing the comments. So get with the program people. If you don't think I'm talking to you then let me get your attention:

If you are old family in California, then I'm talking to you.
If you are new found family, then I'm talking to you.
If I know you from the Valley, then I'm talking to you.
If you are our Catholic friends, then I'm talking to you.
If you are my WalMart friends, then I'm talking to you.
If you work with me, then I'm talking to you.
If I consider you my weirdest friend, then I'm talking to you.
If I have sat in the rain with you at a soccer tournament or baseball tournament, then I'm talking to you.
If you knit with me, then I am talking to you.
If you dated my husband before he was my husband, then I'm talking to you.
If you are a Razorback fan, I am talking too you!

Whew, now I have that off my chest. Thank goodness, my list-stopping medication just came in the mail, so this list must come to an end.
