A very touching gift!

I'm very fortunate this year in the fact that during the holidays I will be able to have my family around me. But in years to come, I may not be so lucky, so this gift is something I think could be one of the most special things I have ever come across.

It's called a Virtual Cheering Squad , but I think Virtual Memory serves it better. If you check their site out you'll find that they offer a gift that is very touching and heartwarming! Thinking back to when I lost my father when I was in my teens, if I could have had something like this to remember his voice by it would have made a world of difference.

They also show a suggestion of giving it as a gift for someone in the Military who isn't home for the holidays which I think is a wonderful suggestion.

I personally am going to show this to my boss whose father is fighting cancer right now and suggest it to him as a gift for his father, and that he has the kids leave messages for "pawpaw" for when he's in the hospital to let him know how much they love him and cheer him up and encourage him to keep fighting.

I don't think I've ever run across something like this, but you can bet I won't ever forget it, and I hope that you keep it in mind too.

Isn't it too early?

OK, I do understand that Christmas isn't that far away, but isn't it just too early for Christmas commercials and advertisements?

As a kid I remember Christmas stuff not kicking in until after Thanksgiving. But these days it seems to start in right after Halloween. I seen my first Christmas commercial on tv the day after Halloween. Granted, it was one of those "underlying content" commercials, but you knew it was a Christmas commercial.

I talked to my mom the other day, she spent last weekend bringing Christmas decorations down from the attic and putting Christmas tree(s) and decorations up. I say trees because she puts up 3 every year. My mom loves Christmas and I think if she could get away with it, she'd keep her trees and decorations up year round. She enjoys sitting at night looking at the lights on the trees and the lit up decorations, and I personally think that when her house is decorated for Christmas, she puts everyone to shame because she does a GORGEOUS job of decorating!

Heck, I think I'd put my tree up if it weren't for the hubby saying NO WAY and the fact that I know the dogs are going to tear the tree apart....LOL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

HOPPY EASTER!!!

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter! It's a grey and chilly day here in NW Ohio, after several days of temps 75 and above! But that's ok, it gives us a chance of getting some stuff done inside today for a change...LOL.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful Easter! Don't eat too much candy!
