Thanksgiving Day 2013 has came and went for another year. There was just the four of us for Thanksgiving Day we had a roasting chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas. The meal was delicious like it always is.   I am thankful this year for my family . . . they are the most important people in my life, without them, I am nobody.  We are so very glad that Grandma has significantly improved health-wise--we can sit down and visit with her like we did before she got sick in March and we almost lost her about 3 times.  She lights up each and every time we go in to see her and is looking forward to our upcoming Christmas Gathering we are going to have with her in about two weeks.  We were able to have Grandma's Christmas Tree put up in her room at Fulton Manor--we are going to put that up tomorrow--Nov. 30, 2013 before we have our Thanksgiving meal with my cousin John and his wife Robin.  She was so glad to hear she could have her tree, she was proud of that tree whe...

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. ...

Thanksgiving 2013 is fast approaching . . . this year I feel I have much to be thankful for: I am thankful for my family . . . they are first and foremost an important factor in my life and without them, I am a lost soul in the realm of the unknown. I am thankful that my grandmother has improved greatly since she was first admitted into Fulton Manor Nursing Home in Wauseon . . . nice to walk in and see her and she smiles and asks how I have been and I can set and visit with her like I did before she got sick--makes my day so much better.  She has gotten back into reading books again, so I make sure she has plenty to read when she is not involved with activities there at Fulton Manor.  I am Thankful I have a great job to go to each and every day and thankful I have a group of colleagues that make the day go by so much quicker and enjoyable--Thank you WPL Colleagues, you know who you are! I am Thankful for the friends I have in my life and I am so blessed to have ...

Thank you so very much, Sean for sending me the links on this wonderful story--I did as I said I would, I read it over and it is just an amazing story: You just have to read this story to see just how amazing this little boy is--even after being robbed and having his lemonade stand trashed by an 8, 10, and 13 year old--he went right back out there and still sold his leomonade to get his PS4 Game System--to think he done this all on his own and paid for his new game system all by himself and received a Young Entrepreneur Award--Simply Marvelous! Again, Sean thank yo so much for sharing this with me and I am glad I put this on my blog. The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA August 21, 2013 Boy whose lemonade stand was robbed honored Patrick Buchnowski pbuchnowski@tribdem.com JOHNSTOWN — Ten-year-old Anthony Sanders has an entrepreneurial spirit. Anthony set up a lemonade stand in Moxham last month to raise money for a PlayStation when a 12-year-old boy pointed a BB gun and ...

I decided to embark on a new adventure and take a correspondence course in Medical Billing and Coding. I enrolled through Stratford Career Institute--it is all correspondence so I am doing this at home--they send me the materials and I pay about $35 a month.  I really wanted to take the coursework online at Stautzenberger College in Maumee, but I am at my Maximum for Financial Aid--I was informed of this by the Financial Aid Office at Stautzenberger and the Department of Education--my max for financial aid meant I cannot get anymore aid for classes--oh well, I will go this route. I received my first module of assignments and the textbook on September 9 and finished Module 1 by September 30.  I received Module 2 Assignments and the textbook with CD-ROM last week and have began going through those lessons and then taking the Exams.  My grade right now for the course is 99%, not bad for doing this all on my own--I can contact instructors with questions or concerns and I ...

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...

The Fulton County Fair began today . . . don't know if we are going to go this year or not, hope so.  If we don't . . . we don't--but I want some famous fair food! The fair runs through next Thursday, Sept. 5.  I hope to make there--we will see. I will be on vacation next week . . . well, Staycation, not going anywhere just staying home.  Back to work on September 9 . . . see if my colleagues missed me or not. The computer I have had since 2007 has finally decided to start dying,  so I had to find a new computer at a reasonable price--without Windows 8!!!  I found one, it should be delivered next week while I am on vacation . . . then I will start the next chapter in my life, and take coursework in Medical Billing and Coding, don't worry I am not leaving my current job---No Way!  I am going to do the billing and coding from home when I am not at my Full-Time Job--I will see how it goes.  I like my Full-Time Job Too Much and work with a great gro...
