Nice house...

The mother of my children bought a house. It is very nice and she got it for a great price. It has all of the important things either brand new or recently installed. She really doesn't need to do anything but paint if she chooses to do so. It has both a nice front yard and a back yard. I really like it and I am happy for her. I won't say where it is located cause that would be an invasion of her privacy. If she knows you and she wishes to let you know where she lives, then she will do so.

If a person is looking to buy a home in the future, well the future is now! This is the best time to purchase a home for a great price and at a low interest rate. If you play your cards right you can get a home of your own with a mortgage even lower than what you currently pay for rent. There are so many homes up for sale which makes it a buyers market. So, if you want to sell chances are you will need to wait a considerable amount of time to sell, especially if you are asking too much. It is too bad that so many folks have or are about to lose their homes. Always remember, "Buyer beware".

Just thinking...

It has been a little while since I last wrote on this blog, so I decided to write something. I have plenty to talk about but I think I will write about the current world condition.

With oil-spills and crazy weather all around the world, many folks are beginning to think of God again. This usually happens when things aren't going well in a persons personal life, so it only stands to reason that many folks are feeling this need to look to God.

What's my opinion on all of this? Well, for starters I say to each his or her own. I am not going to pass judgement on anyone based on how they feel about God or not. I have noticed some difference in the weather and other factors in nature which could lead one to believe that something is happening or about to happen. That's the key for me, if something is happening or is about to happen this year or in the near future, there is nothing I can say or do to stop it. No amount of prayers is going to stop an event if it is to happen. As for getting close to God, God is not one to be mocked, he well knows that if we have looked to him through our entire lives or just when the going gets rough. Only he can and will decide to whom he will extend mercy. So it would be futile for me to try and change anything at this venture of my life.

Am I afraid? No not really. I realize that no pain last forever, it eventually goes away or you learn to deal with it. And if death is the outcome, well that can't hurt too much since you will be dead, and my understanding of the death state is that one feels nothing at all.

So, I respect you for however you feel about this, but I would warn you against losing to much sleep over something you have zero control over. Live how you feel you should be living and leave the rest to your God or your higher power.

As for me, life goes on and as long as it does, so will I!

Hawk's victory celebration...

Yes, I was there! One among the 2 million people who went to enjoy the fun. It was really cool to be with so many Hawk Fans. Yeah, there were those who jumped on the band-wagon, but who cares, they had fun too. We the true loyal fans knew who we were and are.

I went with my son-in-law Melecio and then met up with my son Anthony. Anthony arrived at the airport, jumped on the train and still with his luggage, enjoyed the parade. I was pleased to be there and am happy he made it in time. He like me, is a true Hawk's fan. This will be a memory for the ages...

My little pal...

Yeah, I was wondering if I had spoken about my little pal on my blog. Well I am going to do so now. Her name is Summer. I call her Summer Time. She is a 9lb. miniature pinscher. She is 5 years old but acts like a puppy. I adopted her last year from a bad situation. I never thought I would own a small dog and especially a min pin. I always thought they were yappy and mean. Well she is niether . She does bark but when I tell her to stop she does. The best thing about her are how she comes by me when I am feeling blue. Almost as if she knew how I was feeling at the time. She gives me a hug before I go to sleep and she is there to greet me as soon as she thinks I am awake. She lets me know when someone is coming by my bedroom door, so no one can spy on me or try to read what I am typing on the keyboard. She is a very clean little girl. She doesn't eat or drink a whole lot and her upkeep is simple. I still love large dogs, but my granddaughters are still to young for a large dog to be around. Summer is not the name I gave her. She was given that name by her original owner. I wonder if they knew what a perfect name that would turn out to be? She is a little ray of summer to me. When I feel as if there is no benefit to speak to anyone about how I am feeling I just hold her and feel that all is going to be fine. Maybe that is why they say that a dog is a man's best friend. I wonder why they don't say a woman's best friend....

What to write about...

I don't know what to put in my blog. When I first started to write I had plenty to say. Somehow, it has changed. I will keep on entering post cause I don't want to be quiter.

Lately most of my time has been taken up by all the construction around this house. It is still not over. The guy is still working on the floors upstairs. I truly hope that by Thursday he will be long gone. I found a few blemishes on the front room floor which I am not to happy about. I am going to repair them myself. I don't want to wait another lifetime waiting for the floors to dry. I know what I am doing.

Once all the little touch-ups are complete I will relax. It is already the first day of june. Summer as it always does will come and go too fast. I want to enjoy it the best I can. On my facebook page I wrote that I have gone fishing. I really would love to be in a canoe around Lincoln Park. I would not be fishing I would just be remembering happier times for me. I am not very fond of water, however, paddling a canoe in calm waters is very peaceful to me. It was for me a sort of haven.

Well, maybe someday. I don't know how I will feel since I could still see a little when I last rowed a canoe. And the times by Lincoln Park were with my favorite girl at the time. No, I am not going down that road again.
