Extreme Heat Gone . . . For Now

The last week and better was extremely hot and unbearable.  Summer definitely stuck around for quite a few days all across the country.  Which also brought some devastating storms to the area and thousands of people without power in that heat . . . Not good.  According to the last update, most everyone in this area is supposed to have their power restored by 11:30 tonight (July 8).  We will see what updates are on the 11:00 news.

Here is a picture of my Grandmother, Juanita; My Dad sitting at the table; My Uncle Dave (dad's brother) and Cousin John (mom's Nephew on her side of the family); My Cousin Heather's oldest daughter, Cassie (Grandma's Oldest Great-Granddaughter).  In the activities room @Fulton Manor Nursing Home in Wauseon, OH on Saturday, November 16, 2013 We had a Thanksgiving gathering at Fulton Manor Nursing Home in Wauseon this past Saturday, November 16, 2013.  What an awesome turnout!  We had about 22 people at the event.  We had fixed Hot Chicken for sandwiches, Made from Scratch Candied Sweet Potatoes, Made from Scratch Scalloped Potatoes and Ham, Corn, Celery and Carrots--my cousin Heather celebrated her son, Tier's birthday, his sister Abby baked his cake and decorated it for him--the cake was good--Abby done a good job.  The food was delicious and was a hit with everyone.  My grandmother told us on more than one occasion she felt like a queen. ...

The Holidays Are Upon Us

Thanksgiving 2012 has been here and gone already as the Christmas Season Approaches . . . a time to reflect. Our Thanksgiving Celebration was pretty good . . . the turkey was delicious, nice to spend time with family.  My brother took our parents, grandmother, and I to "A Christmas Carol" on Saturday, December 1 at the Valentine Theater in Toledo, Ohio--it was awesome! The Valentine Theater is beautiful on the inside--we had box seats and were very close to the stage.  I could see that again.  He also treated us to a wonderful dinner at Carrabba's in Maumee--the food was delicious and the service was excellent--I would go back there again to eat. I got my Christmas Shopping done early this year.  My mom surprised me by purchasing a new digital camera for me--she gave it to me early so I would have it to use now.  I am getting it learned, took a few pictures of our Christmas Decorations at home and put them on my Facebook page, the pictures turned out really ...

Jack the Giant Slayer

I finally watched Jack the Giant Slayer while I was off work on my Staycation this past week.  It was good, definitely a different spin on Jack and the Beanstalk.  The movie is rated PG-13 it may frighten the younger children, then again maybe not.  I am glad I decided to add it to my personal collection. It is definitely not the Children's version of the story we read about as children. These updated versions of the Children's Stories we have read as children is definitely not for children's viewing, but at the same time kids today do surprise us. I have Red Riding Hood'; Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters; Snow White and the Huntsman; Mirror, Mirror, Oz the Great and Powerful; Thor; Jack the Giant Slayer; Beastly.  They are so not your children's tales, but they are all good and I do recommend anyone to watch them and judge for themselves--these kinds of movies are right up my alley and like them and glad to have them in my own personal collection.  So if you...
