I am so mad.....
first time ever that my batteries ran down in my camera... wow.. how uncool to carry a camera around without a charged battery!!
Anyway... Ann and I went to eat lunch with Andrew Paul Blankinship at his school.... today for grandparents day... and the battery ran down after just 8 shots.. so if you want to see what his school looks like just click on the album for today... NO PICS of Andrew.. sorry...
But I learned a lesson.. This is the first time I did not take my case, nor a charged battery... and yes I learned.. haha....
It was a great lunch... on our way we had to deliver a care package to H at work... we had a ham and cheese sandwich, plum, bananna, graham crackers, cheese, chips, milk water and .... it was great! All I know for now.. have a great weekend.. Have not heard for sure if Jon is coming up or not... might know later on..

About Cindy Sheehan from Melanie Shaklee...,
About Cindy Sheehan
What is most interesting to me is that the press gives this little bunch of people who
are protesting with Cindy so much air time without discussing Cindy's background.
This is a case of more press bias. It has been pointed out on just a couple of media
outlets that Cindy divorced her first husband and left her son with him to be raised
while she became a political activist for the Democratic Party. She had very little to
do with her son in his growing years. She remarried The 1st husband remarried.
The original father raised the son with his new wife. They miss their son and mourn
the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and that they
agree with the stance of America in Iraq and on terror. They said that their son was
eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq. He volunteered. How many news
stations carried their interview? Not many. So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy
shows up to make a stink. She gets an audience with Bush. That was not enough.
She goes to Crawford and demands another audience. How many news stations
carry the ongoing saga of Cindy? Practically all of them. Cindy didn't care about
her son. She let another woman raise him.
Cindy doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq. Cindy cares about her liberal,
feminist agenda and about using the death of her son to lobby against Republicans
and Bush.
And the press is helping her. Why?
Then 2 days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy. Cindy sounds
like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to even raise
her own son. It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy.
We middle Americans should be fed up with Cindy also. We should be fed up with the
press. They manipulate us into their "group think" and into the responses that they
want on their polls.

DR BILLY GRAHAM'S NEW SUIT
DR BILLY GRAHAM'S NEW SUIT
In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, invited
their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honor.
Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he
struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, "We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you." So he agreed.
After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the rostrum, looked at the crowd, and said, "I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honored by Time magazine as the Man of the Century.
Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of each passenger.
When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his other pocket. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat by him. He couldn't find it.
The conductor said, "Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it." Einstein nodded appreciatively.
The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said, "Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry. I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one." Einstein looked at him and said, "Young man, I too know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going."
Having said that Billy Graham continued, "See the suit I'm wearing? It's a brand new suit. My wife, my children, and my grandchildren are telling me I've gotten a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more fastidious. So I went out and bought a new suit for this luncheon and one more occasion.
You know what that occasion is? This is the suit in which I'll be buried. But when you hear I'm dead, I don't want you to immediately remember the suit I'm wearing. I want you to remember this: I not only know who I am, I also know where I'm going.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE - A true story
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3
hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE - A true story
Susie is recouping at an incredible pace for someone with a massive stroke all because Sherry saw Susie stumble - - that is the key that isn't mentioned below -and then she asked Susie the 3 questions. So simple - - this literally saved Susie's life - - Some angel sent it to Suzie's friend and they did just what it said to do. Suzie failed all three so then 9-1-1 was called. Even though she had normal blood pressure readings and did not appear to be a stroke as she could converse to some extent with the Paramedics they took her to the hospital right away.
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke
victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (ie . It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could
identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10
people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
