The Lake House



 I've gone all the way back to May to get pictures that I hadn't yet put into layouts.  I would like to finish pages quickly enough to publish another book by the 16th.  I have LOTS of good pictures from the last couple of months that are crying out to me every day, as I scroll past them in Picasa.  Never the less, it won't happen. I do have things to do besides sit at this computer. 

These were pictures taken of our daughter, Chelle, her husband, Greg, Ashley and Mason while they were visiting the last part of May for Ron's birthday. We had just taken a ride around the lakes.

 Aussie had his head buried in a video game at the time and not only skipped the boat ride, but missed having his picture taken by me. To hear him tell it, he may have posed for enough pictures already that he'll never have to smile for a camera again.

In the news, the administration is trying to make us believe that 84,000 jobs is a great thing.  However, not only is that number much too small, leaving the unemployment percentage the same, but many of the jobs are part time and not up to par. But even worse, during the same time period 85,000 more people went on disability!  

Even though Obama says these are good numbers, he announced today, he is going to extend the Bush tax cuts one more time.  I say Bravo.  These tax cuts are the same ones that he had been blaming for the cause of our recession in the first place.  It is amazing to me that anyone believes a word he says, especially today when all we have to do is go back to the video of what he said last week, last month, last year. He just says whatever his advisers think his audience wants to hear.

Don't be deceived. He is against any tax cuts and has repeatedly raised taxes, while hiding them or in the case of the Health Care law, calling it something else.  If he is reelected, you can expect nothing but more and more taxes. 

High taxes in one of the main reasons our businesses are not able to stay here and provide the jobs we need.

May God bless you with a good night and a wonderful new morning.
