More Happening on the Ice

Ice Hockey on the Lake

Posting late.   Had some type of trouble, evidently with my server, last night.  In a hurry.  You can read the layout if you click, or double click...whatever, and choose the extra large size.  That is a good new feature of blogspot this year.

One For the Money and Two for the Show

We had a lot of fun with our older grandchildren on Christmas day.  We did miss Leah, who was in North Carolina.  But Brandon, Brittanie and Lauren kept us entertained.

I'm always  a little squeamish about finding the right presents. I know sometimes young adults just want cash or gift cards; but it makes me feel good to find something I think they will like.  The girls did like their purses and put on a show with them.  Brandon is saving up for a purchase, so it is a good thing we just gave him money.  He enjoyed the show as well.

Speaking of shows, I hope you are watching Glenn Beck, listening to Rush Limbaugh and the Quinn and Rose show.

If you haven't tuned in and have heard or read all kinds of bad things about them, don't believe it. Listen  for yourselves.  More and more people do everyday and stay.  Entertaining, yes.  Informative, you betcha.

First Gift From Gramma

Caleb was so serious about his job of opening a gift.  He tore off a small piece of the paper, studied it closely, then attempted to put it back where it had been. Soon he got the idea though and tore the paper off like a pro.  When he found the puzzle, it didn't take him long to discover that if he just opened the box, he didn't have to work so hard to get each shape in its hole.

For such a happy fellow, he certainly was serious on Christmas.

And we must be serious as well when it comes to supporting our new Congress.  I got a call from the Tea Party tonight asking me to keep our congressman accountable.  No problem. I'll be diligent.  I pray you will be also.

A LIttle Bird Told Me

Ashley just became aware of the saying, 'a little bird told me', over the Christmas break.  I thought it went well with this picture  and her inquisitive look.

A little bird didn't have to tell me that the  Republicans in Congress have big plans for the new session of Congress starting  Wednesday.  Hallelujah!  Right away they want to repeal Obama's health care catastrophe.  They have pledged to do it before his State of the Union address later this month.

 I pray this will come to pass as they have promised.  I'll be cheering them along with the Tea Party.  The 'Healthcare' fiasco  needs to be stopped before too much damage is done. I pray they can keep the best health care in the world from being relegated to a third world system.

Praise God for their response to the American people who didn't want this bill in the first place and who, by the time it was actually read, got an even worse deal than they had been told.

Keep positive and pray that our God in heaven heeds our cry for the return of freedom.

Make Music

It's a  joy being a grandmother.  I am thrilled to hear the cute comments they make and see in pictures the cute things they do.  The only thing better would be to see them with my  own eyes and hear them with my own ears and squeeze them with my own arms.  I need to be so many places at the same time.  But since that is an impossibility, I will just have to be satisfied seeing pictures and Skype and reading facebook and email.  Thank God for those blessings.

We need to stay alert and make sure that these pleasures are preserved, that no entity decides that our freedom needs to be impinged so that these 'staying together' methods are not taken away in the quiet of the night or during a storm of threats.

One place we need to keep watch is on the president while Congress is not in session.  He has been very aggressive and has gone over their heads using the excuse that they were not available at the time. He  makes executive decisions that are not truly his to make.  When Congress opposes him, as does the majority of Americans, and he can't twist enough arms, he just works around them.  That must stop.

Happy New Year

Haven't made a layout for the new year yet, so here we are in Christmas mode. Ron and I wish you a very Happy New Year.

  Do not trust in men who make mistakes, but in the Creator who is perfect and knows all our needs.  May you trust in God to bless you,  keep you safe and  get you though the rough times.
