Feeling Happy
Luke, cyclones & Ugly Americans
This is Luke Pitching. He also catches and is a very good hitter. A good all round baseball player.
Our Grandson Luke Vegas came by to visit yesterday afternoon. That is a rarity for us. We aren’t around that much for a visit from Grandchildren. I got my home made sling shot out and we shot at a plastic bucket and a tire swing. His bicycle has no brakes, he uses his shoe. Works great, he can stop as fast as brakes.
Do you remember a TV series called “the Guns of Will Sonnett”? Jack bought the series for me a few days ago. Luke and I sat and watched the first episode together. Then it was time for him to go home. I questioned which one? I hate that question. Since Mark and Corinne got divorced things just haven’t been good for the kids nor the parents. It is easy to miss Corinne, she is such a sweet lady and was a wonderful daughter in law. I think marriages today are just not founded ‘forever’ as they once were.
Up until I was 16 I only knew of one divorce. No, not in the family, I mean I just had personal knowledge of ONE divorce in my life up ‘til then, anybody! Now sad to say in our family with two boys we have faced 4 divorces, a sad statement for our society (and our family). I saw my first ‘For my Step Mother on Mother’s Day’ card in a rack today.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand some marriages should dissolve, but it doesn’t make me any happier. I always wanted my boys to be more successful than I, and I wanted them to be as happy as I am.
Enough of the family smut and tragedies. They will all survive, the world will not end and time will make a world of difference.
Here on AOL they say the death total for the Cyclone may reach
100,000. Burma as we once knew the country, has not yet given permission for the U.S. to help. Like always we just cannot wait to help. We have thousands of people who will go at their own expense and help those folk who survived. Really we Americans are good people whether the world acknowledges it or not.Did you know that Hurricanes and Cyclones are basically the same? As best I can find out they are.
Do you like Andy Rooney? I like the guy sometimes. Once years ago when we watched TV, he made a statement I completely agreed with.
As a majority, we Americans are good, generous and loving people.
Why does the world see us as the ‘Ugly American’?He said we have very good PR people in this country. We should hire a good Advertising firm to sell America to the World. Honestly it could be done and it would change our world image.
Thanks for coming by the LOG.

Hello Mr. Jack,
I think it's your time to be proud! (Proud Grandpaw) you have something to be proud of! I heard of the tv show but I don't remeber seeing it! It's does seem like people don't take there marriage very serious anymore! I have a first cousin who has been married nine times. I told her to just give it up!! it would be a lot less stress! Have a great day!
God Bless

I agree with Connie we could use another good one right now. I think Andy Rooney is a smart man and makes lot of sense. Good picture of Luke. We will have to put a horn on Luke's bicycle if he does not have any brakes. That works well.

My hubby says the difference between the cyclone is it goes the other direction.
I am glad they finally said it used to be Burma...then I knew where they were taking about.
Blessings,
Lori
