Sunday Afternoon

We FINALLY got to see Taylor for a bit this afternoon, its been weeks since we have gotten to see her. She played with her Lil Pets. . .
and ate a pear. . .


counted the pennies in the piggy bank with papa,
(she was doing it on her own but he couldnt stand that!! ha)


She has newly pierced ears. . we visited with Sue and Steve
and Tay showed off her burping ability. . Madi, the girl will make you proud
with her talent!! hahaha


Took a minute to enjoy the "park"

and then posed for me for a few.



We watched "Space Camp" and ate chicken and Good and Plentys,
me more GAPs than chicken, but it was all good. HA

Preparing For Our 9/12 Rally

This afternoon, Pinky and Steve had Sue and Steve and Steven and I
over to make signs, eat beans and watch Glenn Beck's conversion story.
What a grand time we had!!! The sign making time was silly and serious, it went back and forth between the two!! We did reseach to see what to put on our signs, and we cut and taped and laughed. We were glad to be in the company of others who are as passionate as we are about this country, its future and how wonderful it is to be an American. Steven and Steve

Pinky





Is it really about health care, or just the Gov./this administration wanting to CONTROL the country?????




We had a ball!!

Later, after the signs were finished, we watched "Glenn Beck, An Unlikely Mormon"
His conversion story. . .it is incredible!! He is sooo funny, and a great story teller, and shares
his finding the church and the Savior in a way that only Glenn Beck could do.
You need to watch it. . .

Elvis

So the other night TCM carried a few hours of old Elvis movies, and YES, I got sucked into watching bits and pieces of some and all of one!! Dang! I was up till 1:00am watching cheesy, dumb old Elvis movies. . loving it! HA!! I saw part of "It Happened At The World's Fair" ( I flip back and forth between other channels. . watching Fox News and DIY. . so I'd get songs mostly. . but thats the best part!) I saw a little of "King Creole", which I havent seen the whole thing ever, and still haven't. "GI Blues" was next and I saw more than less of it, I loved the songs from this one. . and then because I'm not smart enought to go to bed at 11:00, I sat and watched "Roustabout". This one has fun tunes too, but its pretty typically Elvis and Hal Wallis. . when I was 11 in 1964, they were the BOMB. . so romantic and wonderful to watch. HA!! But what I saw then and I saw the other night thats still the same, was the joy that Elvis had on his face when he was singing and preforming. . that smile and attitude that made him Elvis. I found myself smiling and singing and thinking that there will always be a place for Elvis in my entertainment agenda.
