Had a wonderful birthday tonight.. few days early but it was very welcome just the same!!

What a wonderful treat to have family around you when you get my age!! How fortunate we are to be able to see them and have them drop by. wow.... 

I worked today and arrived home a few minutes before Heather and Madison and Andrew stopped in. Found Ann making homemade spaghetti sauce and spaghetti, and really cool salad, french toast, ummmm good..... then Trisha and Isabella suck in the back door... and it was on... haha... the three kiddos were hard at it... and then Paul stopped by on his way home from work, (he was worn out from working so hard this long long week and he still has another day to go, but I am really glad he stopped by, as I know if I were him, bed would and might have come first!) and after a bit, Phillip and Tammy and Austyn stopped in and we all have a wonderful time and visit and dinner together. the kiddos had a blast, and we adults got to visit, too...  I had a wonderful dinner... got to blow out my birthday cup cakes with kiddos... (I bet Phillip has photos of this on his blog later...? pmoffat.com/blog), and had the birthday song sung to me, and afterward, Madison did a Birthday Cheer for me with her Cheerleader outfit and pompoms, I think they are called.. sigh.. age deal I guess..


Many thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts and the precious gift of all, your presence to help me celebrate! ( I rec'd a fantastic photo of an old memory from my past... I was 13 and up when I used the place photo'd... and a neat collage, and some great cards, barbecue sauce, and whiskey bread (not to break a tradition of wrong name for bread!), and playdo cutouts for my office, and the book "Fresh bold piece of humanity" by ORielly...  
thanks again to everyone!!! 

Austyn and Isabella providing some Birthday music for me tonight... a few days early but i am so thankful...

AMEN!!


Somebody in Wisconsin doesn't like President Barack Obama all that much.
An unnamed company has paid for a billboard along Highway 41 inOshkosh that reads, "Impeach Obama."
The tagline says: "America's small businesses are failing; help us spread the message."
It was paid for by an unnamed company represented by Tom Wroblewski who told the AP the sentiment is that Washington politics are bad for small businesses.

As daylight approached the snow fall lightened up, but the cover was there, before the very high gusting winds blew it away.

Even Isabella's tricycle did not escape the dusting....

Interesting fact...

Government cannot give anything to anyone without first taking from someone else.

ACE

austyn and the band "Ace" had practice at our house today. they did great, especially for 4th graders and their first time together. They even wrote a new song, my life, in about 30 minutes and played if for the parents when they came to pick them up. Just thought I would share this picture with you all. I couldn't not take a picture at the first rehearsal. I think they are going to try to play a song at the will rogers talent show in May. We'll see how it goes, I was pretty impressed today :) 


Rock on 
Austyn and ACE

From my friend PJ Moore,


The guys were all at a deer camp.  No one wanted to room with Bob, because he snored so badly.  They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.
The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?  He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."
The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!  He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night."
The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man's man.  The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. They couldn't believe it.  They said, "Man, what happened?"
He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night.  Bob sat up and watched me all night."
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

Sometimes A Picture Is Worth 14 Trillion Words
Today, the House passed yet another debt limit increase, without a single Republican vote.
As one considers the recent rhetoric of fiscal responsibility from the majority party, perhaps this single image best stands in contrast and serves as a reminder of the Democratic record of fiscal recklessness.

Julia, Jade and I at the Reading Market. Gotta love family.

He's back.... or she??
