Here comes the snow

Well we haven’t had much snow for the past few year and now they are talking about 2 to 4 inches arriving on Monday evening.  I sure hope it’s not snowing in Washington DC for Tuesday.  I really hope it’s not that cold because I’m sure there are going to be rather large crowds there to see Barack Obama sworn into office.

Why wouldn’t they be after all?  It’s history unfolding right before our eyes.  I have seen a little history and didn’t really like what I saw but this time, I will enjoy this history making moment.  Dr. King would be so proud. I only wish he could have been here to see this day.  It would have been even better if his wife could have seen it.  Then she would have known beyond the benefit of a doubt that her husband didn’t die for absolutely nothing.  He died so this day could be possible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I don’t think I have ever been so glad to see a year pass like I have this one.  The year 2008 will go down in my memory as not what I would call one of the better years.  In fact, between the state of the economy and everything else, it rather sucked!!!

I have so much HOPE for 2009.  HOPE is a powerful word.  When you have nothing at all, as long as you have HOPE, then you have a chance.  Without HOPE, you have nothing.  Well I have HOPE and hope and pray that there are many others out there that do to.  I would hate to think that they didn’t.

Things are going to turn around.  It might take some time but it will get better.  We always go through tough economic times when one party has been in office for several terms and then the next party is voted in.  Most of the time it’s not quite as bad as it is now but we have someone that has given most of us HOPE in the form of Barack Obama.  We shall see if he lives up to at least half of his promises which I believe he will live up to more than that if at all possible.  That would be a record for a politician.

Wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas

Well tomorrow is Christmas Day and I’m sure the last thing on my mind will be my computer.  I wanted to make sure to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas to anyone and everyone that reads my blog.  I do appreciate it very much that you stop by.  I hope I have brought a little pleasure into your life or helped in some small way.  That’s what life is all about, helping one another.

My father always volunteered at the local Disabled American Veterans Association and that’s a legacy we carry on in his honor.  They’re feeding the local veterans or the families of deployed service men this evening and my family will be there to gladly serve them.
