Health Care Plan

(borrowed from my friend, sarah)
Let me get this straight....

We are working to pass a health care plan
written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it,
signed by a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and
financed by a country that's nearly broke.

What possibly could go wrong?

I didn't know that Obama smoked.

Apple Picking in Charlottesville, Virginia!!!


I had a LARGE time with my Favoritest Peepers today at the Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlotteville, Va. I LOVE Apples straight off the trees and now so do my Peeps. I would like to figure out a way to build apple picking, mountains, and Fall leaves into all the remaining AUTUMNS that I have left with them. It was a great family time.

Toots Turns 9 with Friends Getting Painted Faces

Gorgeous, Perfect October 3rd Weather-- Bear always had the prettiest Birthdays.
Bear would've turned sixty-something today.
Miles remembered her with Cookies. I love Miles.

We celebrated Toot's turning 9 this month. Mimi the CLOWN came and did a Magic Show and brought a Bounce House. But Mimi's Pièce de résistance is her MAD FACE PAINTING Skills. Every 3 minutes or so--she cranked out a BEAUTY.

Jenna's buddy Russell came, hung out, and worked his tail off.

Papa and Gram were here.

It was a Great Day to Celebrate Bear's Birthday and Toots too.

October Is Finally Here!

I love October.

I was brought up to love October as no other.

I've been putzing around getting odds and ends shored up today.

Yesterday-- I finished faxing in Audit stuff for BCBSNC for TriClean and did Accountant work.

I'm in the home stretch of finishing GIRL SCOUT admin work for the current school year.

Toot's is celebrating turning 9 on Saturday.

I bought a new UNC hoodie. I plan to wear it to some chilly night game later this month.

I'm praying for my DEAR, BELOVED friend on Signal Mtn. in Tennessee.

The extracurriculars are well under way. The air is chilly. Fall decor is in place.

One word: PUMPKINS

I'm going to Charlie in the next little bit.

We're picking APPLES next weekend and seeing the Carnes family. Whoot.

Topics of Google Research: Roman Polanski, Tim Hawkins, Jeff Dunham, BCBSNC, cooks.com

Behind on Beth Moore. Slight downer.

Establishing Walking Buddies.

Sunshine after the Rain.

One Pet. One Pet that matters anyway.

I love October.

Bo Meets the Mayor William V. "Bill" Bell

Bo met the Mayor today. He worked very hard this summer and volunteered 100 hours to our community. In doing so, he qualified for the Presidential Award, too. The award ceremony will be on October 1. Well done, Bo.
