Christmas 2018

Merry Christmas to all our friends!

Hope Santa was good to you.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends

I've already had my nap. The house was full... and so was my belly.  The food turned out well, which is always a worry. That last minute rush to get everything hot and on the table is intense. Lots of baby love, toddler kisses, and kindergarden fun.  Nothing beats that.  I hope your holiday was filled with family and loved ones.

Labor Day, 2017

It is okay to celebrate, to picnic, to spend the day with family and friends. Light up the grill, have a burger, toast the end to summer with your favorite beverage. But let's keep in mind the real reason of the day: WORKERS, which have made this country as strong and as great as it is.

Union bashing seems to be the latest trend. Workers are being vilified as lazy and greedy, while BIG tax dollars are being funneled to large, sometimes foreign corporations, with the "hope" that jobs will be produced. There is a focus on legislative changes to lower EPA regulation on pollution standards to increase profit for business. There are people with their hands out, alright, but it is not those who need a handout.

There are numerous new laws currently being implemented, attempting to stop the formation of a collected group of worker's voices. People, especially the uninformed, are buying into the rhetoric and hate. I challenge the followers of these politicians to read about the real reason unions were initially formed. Read about: the lack of safety, the abominable working conditions, the lives lost unnecessarily, the lack of compassion in hours worked vs. compensation, the discrepancy between CEO's income to their workforce, the corporations who let people go right before retirement to increase the companies bottom line, all these injustices that collective union voices fought to remedy.

We also have a new hatred that is being directed at immigrants, at specific races, and the lower socio-economic population.  This is not part of a movement I want to see in my country. Now, more than ever, we need to stay informed and speak against the hate.  Did we not learn anything from the past?

Memorial Day, 2017

Today is the day to honor and remember those who lost their lives defending our freedom, our safety, our principles, and our country.  Every day we should thank all that give of themselves to protect us. To the brave men and women who selflessly serve, Thank You!

Take a few minutes and enjoy. 

Reminisce the olden days. Think about those who have left us.

Reflect on what is good in your life. 

We have many things to be grateful for, starting with 8+ years of friendship. 

Thank you for always being here.

Happy Flag Day! 


In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. 

Appleton, Wisconsin claims to be the oldest National Flag Day parade in the nation, held annually since 1950. It was also named "Most Patriotic City in America" by AmericaTheBeautiful.com in 2008.
