VOTE NOVEMBER 4

Hi All~

I'm the first to say that McCain isn't my favorite choice for President, BUT, Obama certainly is much worse.....and DANGEROUS....I seriously can't imagine that any educated person isn't concerned about the ties he has to so many shady people and I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that Obama is in control of our national security, which is to me, our #1 priority.....soooo....for the first time in my life I reaching out and I'm pushing for the McCain vote on November 4. My vote has nothing to do with Sarah Palin being on the ticket or the fact that Obama is black....it is strictly because I don't trust him with my life.

If you don't agree with me, then we'll just agree to disagree.....however you believe, remember the important thing is to VOTE....it's a right that too many don't appreciate.

Hugs,
Gloria

Fun on the Farm

Harvest Sale Time

We are so blessed to have weathered Hurricane Ike with just fence and tree damage and 6 days without power....a bit of debris in the pool....unlike Pretty Scrapper, Casey, who is from Galveston and lost her place to live/work....sooo very sad...please keep her and her family in your prayers, along with all of those familes from Galveston/Bolivar Penninsula/Crystal Beach/Orange County and other affected areas of the Texas Gulf Coast and other states

Eye on the Gulf

Hi Everyone...we were all hunkered down and ready to ride out the storm, as our house is at the highest elevation in Galvestion County; however, when we woke up this morning and saw the water coming over the Seawall and the Kemah Boardwalk under water, we went for the high road...we are in Humble now at a Hampton Inn...it's about an hour north of where we live ... we didn't want to get too far and then end up with a 12-hour return trip with all of the returning residents.



Anthony had taken Kaden and headed north yesterday, so they came back down to the hotel with us so it is me and Robert, Anthony, Katy, Kaden, Rae (Kaden's mom...they were fighting over who was taking him) and Darrell (Rae's boyfriend), Lindsay, Matt, Ty and Buster.




It is 7:40 pm on Friday September 12 and the wind is blowing but no rain yet...it's going to be a long, noisy, and stressful evening/night/morning..Nothing is open...all businesses, restaurants, and stores are closed...but we brought rations and appropriate beverages.




For a point of reference.....we live in League City, about 15 miles north of Galveston, 4 miles west of Kemah, 10 miles north of Texas City, on the west side of Interstate 45. This storm surge we are seeing hasn't been seen since the storm of 1900 that demolished Galveston or Hurricane Carla in 1961 that demolished Kemah, so even though it's a Cat 2 storm....the surge is significant and before one drop of rain fell, the towns of Galveston and Kemah were flooded....soooooo I cried when I left our home, but thank God we are all together and safe thus far. I have my brother who stayed, and my MIL stayed (she lives one mile from Galveston Bay....but refused to leave her home)....my other brother is in Conroe and my sisters are together in West Houston....I'll let you know in the morning how we fared.....Please pray for our entire Gulf Coast Area!




BIG TEXAS HUGS!!!!

My Grand Dog and His Favorite Ball

Thanks for stopping by!

He IS My Sunshine

Engaged

Well, now both of my kids are planning weddings....Anthony proposed to Katy last week and they want a September 19, 2009 wedding. They are not the traditional couple, so this layout of Katy's ring fits their personalities better than my usual style....this was not easy for me because I am NOT artsy....but CONGRATS TO MY AWESOME SON for choosing a soulmate that understands how to deal with him!!

FREE Template at Moo Two Designs

I am so glad Galveston was spared Hurriane Gustav and hope all of your family and friends in Louisiana fared well as well.



If you have time, stop by MOO TWO DESIGNS' TEMPLATE TUESDAY forum and snag this week's Free Layered Template..

Have the BEST week!

Lindsay and Matt's New Home

I don't post layouts much on my blog because I never seem to have time, but there is a lot going on in our family....Lindsay and Matt's February 2009 wedding, Anthony and Katy got engaged this week, so a 2009 wedding for them I'm sure, Kaden starts soccer (he's 3) in a couple weeks, and Lindsay and Matt are buying their first home. I'll share layouts of Anthony and Katy's engagement as soon as they come over and let me take pictures, and you know Kaden's soccer games will make front page news....but today it's Lndsay and Matt's soon to be new home.



I did this for a Tool Shed Template challenge at Moo Two Designs...all of the credits are posted there, but the kit is Over the Edge by Carla Ware at 3Scrapateers and the template by Seestern.

OMG I LOVE THIS LITTLE BIT!!!

My grandson turned 3 on June 10 and started T-Ball the following week...the cut-off is the end of April, but they let him play. Needless to say, he is the youngest and the smallest and has the shortest attention span....which make him SO MUCH FUN to watch as he swings that bat and then runs on his tip toes to the base. In the infield he is looking all around and then when he sees everyone else running he goes after the ball...it's priceless!

So I thought I'd share his first T-Ball layout...it was for a scraplift challenge and my son's camera SUCKS so the great shots turned out horrible...next week I'll be taking MY camera!!! I used Teri Hanson's AWESOME Sunflower Seeds kit and added some baseballs by Roberta D'Achille and an Attic Treasures glove and BAM...isn't it the cutest?

Thanks for looking at my FAV little bit!

Happy Birthday, Kaden!

I have the most awesome grandson ever....and he turns 3 on Tuesday, June 10.....so I made a FREEBIE for you for stopping by and wishing him a Happy Birthday!
