Fourth of July
Happy Fourth of July everybody! This is the time of the year when we celebrate the founding of our country. Our forefathers fought long and hard in order to free this country and build it into a nation. It’s good that we remember the deeds they performed through the tough times.
Now our nation is free and strong. I hope that everyone will continue to embrace the tradition that was started. I know that these people will be in my heart when I watch the fireworks tonight. I hope that where ever they are, they will enjoy them too.

Well everybody, it’s been a long year. So many things have happened that it’s hard to take it all in. We’ve had births and birthdays, marriages, and graduations. I am surprised that we come through it all so well. Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year. I hope things go well for you as it has done for us this past year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!
Shopping for food
This year we plan to have a great Christmas. I went shopping today and decided to buy a ham. I bought the spiral kind that is already cut. I was able to find all the other things we needed as well. I want to have a great Christmas dinner and I think it will be one of the best we ever had. There is nothing like a good day of cooking to get that holiday spirit.
My daughter is really interested in learning a few cooking tricks this year. She has been very helpful around the kitchen and I have showed her some of the tricks I have learned over the years. She soon will be able to prepare a great meal all on her own. I am very proud of her and think she’ll pass on the family recipes to her own children one day!

Since kids these days play so many video games, someone came up with a great idea. By putting together games that feature education, the kids can have fun while learning a thing or two. “Immune Attack” and “Moon Base Alpha” are two new games that use thinking, math, and science as part of the games. This way, kids not only have a good time, they also build their knowledge. I was thrilled to hear that these games will soon be available and plan to help my kids with some fun learning!

I’d like to wish everyone out there a happy Thanksgiving. I’ve always found this to be one of my favorite holidays as I get to spend some time with my family. This year, my mom has come up from Florida to visit and it has worked out well. The kids are happy to see their grandma and she enjoys their company. It’s nice that they get to spend some time together.
Another thing about this holiday is that it gives us a chance to reflect on how lucky we are to all be in reasonably good health and cheer. We take many things for granted these days and its good to remember how lucky we are to be here. I hope that everyone has a chance to enjoy this day as we do. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
