Spring Vacations!

Seems like most of the college kids will be going on spring vacations this week. Maybe to sunny Florida, skiing out West or having fun in Mexico (with precautions) or taking a ride up North to Montreal to see the sights. Perhaps many of you will be home with Mom and Dad and the family. I would love to know about your experiences if you care to share them, well maybe some of them.

Enjoy yourselves but please be safe.

Bye for now, Sis Paula

And then there were 14! Yikes!

I can't believe this woman out in California. She's in her 30's and already has 6 children AND she wanted another girl? Whoops, now she has 14 children. Can't believe that! What was she thinking? Her mom said that all her daughter wanted was to have children. Yes, but who is taking care of them - her mom and dad!

I know this whole thing is controversial. The ethical component, the doctors, hospitals, etc. Not to mention the hospital bill in the millions and the care for these children and the health of the mom. Really, its amazing that all 8 of them survived and are doing well. Is there any hidden messages in all of this. What are your views?

Let's Talk

The hype is on, the momentum is running high! In less than two weeks we will have a new president. The mementos and souvenirs of this historic event are already in play. Even the home shopping channel QVC had a full hour dedicated to the presidential memorabilia. Seems like the country can't wait. Do you think we will be asking too much of him, too soon? Seems to me that is what we are doing.

I have been thinking of all of this. Our country, the economy, the world at large. Our young nation,the USA falling to its knees. I never dreamed I would see these days be so bad. I have been through some rough times, layoffs, but not this bad. Although, it did not happen all at once. It is a culmulation of a lot of things through many years and decades and now the young preseident-elect Obama has it all to contend with. I think he has a good balanced cabinent and a lot of good people that will surround him and advise him. He is inclusive of both Democrats and Republicans and that's what I like about him. Building those bridges towards collaboration and to peace. I believe it can be done. I stand united with the people of this country to support the efforts of our new president. Times might even get tougher but we continue to trust and walk in faith that God makes all things new. We will have a brighter future for our younger generation to take hold of. I believe that and I have hope that the light will dispel all of our fears and anxieties. I am going to enjoy the inaugration events - what about you?

Sister is back!

Happy New Year to all my blogger friends! I am back after a lovely respite of much needed rest and relaxation.

Hope this year will be much better and brighter for all of us.

So many things happening out there. The Middle East, our ecomony, Caroline Kennedy for NY Senator.(Oh My)!

Just heard about John Travolta's son, Jet. I am so sorry for his family. Losing a child is so very devastating. They remain in my thoughts and prayers.

What would you like to converse about? Caroline Kennedy? Start the conversation.
