More pink things  - Bed Head Product

I had a really great, time today, shopping and spending money with Janene and having lunch at "Red Robin".  They offer so much food that we shared a meal and we couldn't even finish all of that.  Our Granddaughter  (Kareen ) made the senior class court,  for the Prom, which is a week from tomorrow.  We are really excited for her.  We were out about 4 hrs. so I came home pretty beat, but it was worth getting tired for.  Tomorrow is another busy day.  Tomorrow, at noon, at the Lampson Stadium,  in Kennewick, Southridge High School Students are asking people to come and to help make a ribbon, on the field, with people, for Breast Cancer month.  They are hoping for a record turn-out.

6....Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder, these days, no one talks about seeing UFO's like they used to?


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  I have come to love and appreciate a group of people who seek no reward, no honor, and no other worldly emoluments.

It is truly amazing the number of things that have come out pink with the breast cancer ribbon on them.  This is a sewing bag.

Had my Physical Therapy appointment today, to find out how to control Limphedema.  I made the appointment 6 wks. ago because this is the earliest I could get in to see her.  She is extremely thorough, like wanting to know all the surgeries I have ever had and any stresses that would effect my lymphatic system and all the meds. I am taking.  She was with me 1 and a half hrs.  When we were nearly done she said she would have liked to have seen me about 4 wks. ago....go figure.  I will be seeing her once a week up into Dec.   After seeing her we went to "In Home Medical"  to get a compression sleeve but they didn't have the right size, I was told to get.  After we got home I was a bit tired.  Tomorrow I have a fun day planned.
Enjoy your day.

Southridge High School early morning assembly to kick off Breast Cancer Week.

Had to get up at 4:30, but glad I did because of the Southridge High School program, to kick off Breast Cancer Week.  It was open to the public but it was mostly supported by the kids.   Great program.  On the way home we stopped for breakfast, haven't done that in a very long time.  After we got home, next thing on our list, was a much needed nap, which lasted about 2 hrs.  Fantastic morning.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  The images of Mother 
4 yrs. of age....My Mommy can do anything!                                
8 yrs. of age....My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 yrs. of age....My Mother doesn't know everything!
14 yrs. of age....My Mother?  She wouldn't have a clue.
16 yrs. of age....Mother?  She's so five minutes ago.
18 yrs. of age....That old woman?  She's way out of date.
25 yrs. of age....Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 yrs. of age....Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 yrs. of age....Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 yrs. of age....Wish I could talk it over with Mom.


Mick, not the opinion of myself, just thought, it was so true to life.

Now, how can you turn down such a deal on an imbroidery machine that makes such beautiful designs!!

Diane, that's amazing, only gaining 2 lbs. after a weeks vacation.  You deserve an award.
Spent most of the day, with Janene, shopping a little.  We went over to the Bernina store (sells sewing machines and other fun stuff for sewing).  In the mail I received an add, from this store, stating we could try out the lastest embroidery machine and make a ribbon.  This machine is amazing.  All you have to do, is, do the settings and it threads itself, cuts the thread as we change the thread colors and plays music.  It is so fun to watch.  All of this for the mere, low price, if you buy it today, of    $10,000.   I called Bill and said "I really have to have this machine",  it will change my life and I don't even have to have sewing skills, using this machine.  He didn't even blink, I could tell, and he flatly said  "NO"  I couldn't believe he would pass up such a great deal, I mean it even plays music and it also sews, not just embroiders.   :-)   This took way too long, but it was entertaining.  After this we went to Macy's and checked out the new make-up.  I'm really not that big on make-up but they have a new line just for Christmas and it was only $30.00.  I knew Bill wouldn't mind because it wasn't even close to $10,000.  It was a great day.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
 The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
 The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
 Because that is the doorway to her heart,
 The place where love resides.
 The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
 But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
 It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that
 She shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!


 

Can you believe it!!!...even the bag of chicken feed is pink.

Diane, so happy you are safely home.  It is always fun to go but coming back home is the best.  We were talking about Nancy, Sat. at lunch, and we all couldn't believe another classmate was gone from us, we just sat around and talked for about 2 hrs.  I guess we all needed to find comfort in one another that day.  I am so sorry for the loss of another very good friend of yours.  This has been a hard year for you.  Stay strong and know that you are loved by many.
Wasn't Conference just wonderful this week-end.   I hung onto every word that was spoken.  It seemed to me, that Pres. Monson was so sad, because Conference was over for 6 more months.  For those of you that aren't members of the Church you must watch Conference next April.  The words spoken are for the whole world not just for Church members, anyway it's just worth it to hear the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir".  Janene and family came over to watch, because they don't have cable.  We had a fun day.
Drive safe whereever you are.

  2...There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so easily,
But in my hands they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in God for leading,
Each moment of my day.
I will look to God for guidance,
In each step of the way.

The path that lies before me,
Only my Lord knows.
I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

I thought that was so petty so I wanted to share it with everyone.

These are two more items one can buy with the pink ribbon.

This is another adorable hat Janene made for me.  I'm a bit spoiled....you think.

We had our monthly lunch today with our classmates and their spouses.  What a great bunch of friends.  We came home and I shampooed our family room, twice.  It really needed a good cleaning.  I was pretty tuckered out when I got through.  Today was Janene's Birthday, so while the guys were at a Priesthood meeting,  I went over to watch a movie with her.  Came home and gave our Cocker (Sandy) a bath.  Boy, she was really dirty.  Well, that was basically my day....in a nut/shell.
Hope you had a great day.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  If you can't be a good example....then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.




 
 

These are the goodies I got this morning at the Cancer Center breakfast and the bucket filled with goodies was from Chandler.

This is Dr. Rado's wife and nurse.  She is a very caring and amazing person like her husband.

This is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month",  to remind women to get a yearly mammogram and to do self exams.  This morning was so much fun, at the Cancer Center, for the "Pink Lighting" event.  It was still dark out, being it was soooooooooo...early.  Even KNDU T.V. station was there, to film the event.  After that we went inside and we were treated to a very nice breakfast, catored by a place in Richland, called The Castle. As we went in we received our T-shirts and a goody and got our card punched and then again at the Library, the Recourse Center and then down the hall.  They will be doing a drawing later.  The lunch was in the Wellness Center.   One can buy nearly anything pink with the ribbon on the item.  Janene just bought chicken feed and the bag was pink.  This eve. we went to a dinner, at our chuch, that consisted of fresh crab and salmom.  Needless to say it was wonderful since I like both.  Tomorrow is General Conference so those that will be watching this week end....enjoy, as I know you will.


TWO LITTLE BOYS
  Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are accessibly mischievous.  They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.  The boy's mother heard that a preacher, in town, had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.  The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.  The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.  The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,  "Do you know where God is, son?"  The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.  So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone   "WHERE IS GOD?"  Again the boy made no attempt to answer.  The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,  "WHERE IS GOD?!"   The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.  When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"  The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,  "We are in big trouble this time!"  "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"
