Hi gang... Yes, this is literally my first entry of the day, and it may well be my only entry, I'm afraid. I'll try and come back a bit later, but no promises. Roommie left for a two week visit with her sister late this morning, and I've been cleaning house ever since. My supper is in the oven at... Sign in to see full entry.

I was very sad to learn about an hour ago that actor Arnold Stang has passed away at the age of ninety one. He made countless films, but I remember him as the voice of the mischievous Top Cat. Mr. Stang passed away on my birthday following complications from pneumonia. So long, Top Cat...See'ya... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum and Grammy just left a few minutes ago after having coffee and some birthday cake with us, and they brought me my birthday gifts. I got something this year that I definetly wasn't expecting, but something I've definetly wanted! You've all seen those television adverts for the snuggies...you... Sign in to see full entry.

The Arbiet Macht Frie sign that once marked the enterance way to Auchswitz that was stolen before dawn on Friday has been recovered by Polish police. They discovered that the sign had been cut into three pieces. Police now believe that the sign was stolen and dismembered in an attempt to make some... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone! I want to thank all those of you who posted birthday greetings to me. I had a wonderful day with Roommie. We had a nice spaghetti dinner and ate more birthday cake! She bought me a wonderful children's Christmas story, ON THIS SPECIAL NIGHT, which tells how the animals found their... Sign in to see full entry.

Tomorrow is my birthday, which I really look forward to. Most people dread them each year, but not me! I consider myself blessed to have each birthday I have. I don't feel old, so why should I act it? I meant to write a few posts today, but its been crazy here! A friend of ours brought over a... Sign in to see full entry.

As most of you here know by now, I'm sure, the sign marking the enterance way to Auschwitz was stolen before dawn this morning, according to police in Warsaw. I can't even begin to write how disturbed I am by this event. The search for the individual or individuals is still heavily underway, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for my friend Becky and her husband Walter. They're having a difficult time right now because his work hours have been drastically cut, and she is no longer able to work at all, so there is little money at the moment. Also, Wlater's mother, Lilian, is in need of prayer. Last October, she... Sign in to see full entry.

Here it is Thursday morning, and I feel like it's Monday. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't want to move! I don't want to do anything today. I'm sure I'll do all right once I get going, but I don't want to. I'll definetly feel better after my shower. I usually get moving just fine after... Sign in to see full entry.

MARY, SWEET MARY Mary, sweet Mary! I watch you hold Him as He sleeps This child, our son I watch and wonder What do you know? What were your thoughts When the angel came?

Yesterday while Roommie and a friend were at Wal-Mart, they found me the most awesome pair of slippers! I've been needing a spare pair for a while now. My oldest sister, Lisa, gave a me a lovely pair that were given to her a couple of years ago because they didn't fit her. It was very nice of her,... Sign in to see full entry.

This is litterally the first chance I've had to write thus far today! Its been one thing after another stopping us from getting much of anything done. If only the telephone would just shut up for five minutes! I'm hungry, so I think I'll go scronge up some food. Don't worry, I'll be back... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm really excited. Tonight in the mail, I received my new 2010 crochet calendar. You get a year's worth of crochet patters, so I doubt I'll be bored anytime soon! It also came with a pocket calendar and a pattern instruction booklet. I have to admit I've been really naughty crochet wise. I haven't... Sign in to see full entry.

'K, so the dude from the telephone company FINALLY decided to make an appearance. He left just about a half hour ago-and guess what? The modem is WORKING AT LONG, BLOODY LAST! Mind you, we've had endless problems with these morons ever since we had to have our service shut off at the end of January.... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, still no word from the telephone company yet. They're supposed to send someone over today to check the wires outside. He hasn't shown up yet, and we have no idea when or even if he's coming. To be on the safe side, we got up at 7:00 so that we'd have time to have breakfast and I could have a... Sign in to see full entry.

SILENT NIGHT, BELLS OF PEACE Silent night Do you hear? Bells to ring And break the silence End the violence Ring for peace Sweet little Holy Child Sleeping so quietly In the hay Will You heal The wounded whole? The broken soul?

Okay, so here's the deal. The stupid telephone company decided to send us a new modem-without our knowing about it!-So, Roommie hooked it up to the laptop yesterday, and guess what? IT DIDN'T WORK!!!!!... Poor Roommie fiddled about with it for a bit, still to no avail. She called tech support and... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MIRACLE OF THE LIGHTS The first night of Hanukkah, 1941 Somewhere in the Polish countryside It’s dark now, and bone chilling cold.

Hi everyone... The sun is here again, so it's a bright Saturday. A friend of ours helped us bring our Christmas decorations down from the back bedroom, so today's the day we officially start decorating! We both love this time of year and come just about mid summer, we start daydreaming about what's... Sign in to see full entry.
