~ Friends Forever ~
You guys amaze me! I got home from work this evening and was brought to tears. The support, sentiments, good thoughts, comments and emails touched my heart. Thank you! ::in my best Elvis voice:: thank you very much. Ok, corny ..... I saw the topic for the artsy essay contest and I just started writing. I think I went a bit off topic, but I wrote what came to mind, what was in my heart, in my soul and it felt good. I was messing with this graphic and it got sillier as I went along, but I wanted to give you something. Make you smile, and feel warm inside like you've all done for me. Hope it works ::grin:: Snag it if you like.
It is August 20th, right? Not Sept? Oct? OMG!!! What happened to summer? It rained today. Nothing heavy, but big fat drops that splattered when they hit. Normally a summer rain is nice. It doesn't bother me when the temps are warm. It's a cleansing feeling. Not today. It was cold! Instead of seeing folks in summer outfits underneath brightly colored umbrellas you saw slickers. Deep greens, browns, reds. Hoods up as they huddled under the umbrella to stay dry. BRRR Looking at the leaves I could see color. Nothing vibrant, but they are changing from the bright greens I've become accustomed to. Fall is my favorite season. I love the smell, crisp and clean nature is all I can come up with to describe it. The leaves a little crispy as they blow across the lands. You can almost smell the apples, the cider, the farm land as it's being harvested. The bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? I thought so, but not yet. Not in August!! The closer it gets the closer hockey season is :::giggle::: 20 some days until the first preseason game. That makes me happy... but I want a few more hot sunny days.
So Michael Vick took the plea. He will be in court next week for sentencing. His actions totally disgusted me. I was appalled that anyone would think dog fighting would be ok. When the story started to break months ago others were interviewed. I was totally amazed at the reaction. So many thought it to be no big deal. WHAT!?!? Good gawd what is wrong with that picture? There is talk of fines, jail time, and his career being over. Why am I not so confident? Why do I think that even if he does go to jail there will be some NFL team that will pick him and sign him to some lucrative contract? I am pretty sure everyone is disgusted by the act, what I am curious about is what do you think will happen. Fine? How much jail time, if any? Will he play football again? Not what you want to happen, but in reality what do you think will happen?
Ok, I'm sitting here in my fuzzy bath robe, heavy slippers, and shivering. I think I will be off to bed. Climb under the covers and pull my quilt up around my chin. LOL Hope everyone had a great day and I hope your Tuesday is magical.
Squeeze :::grin:::

Responding to your Michael Vick entry... what I think will happen.... I think he will be fined, and maybe some probation time... that's it!!! Are we taking bets, I'll put down my paycheck on that one!!! I sure hope I'm wrong, though!!

Yes, you got me to smile, the graphic is cute. You deserve the support, you've given so much of yourself without a peep. You've helped so many here and have asked nothing in return. You are a friend to so many. Don't worry about summer, it isn't over it just took a break.

I dont know anything about the dog fighting case over there..... but it was odd beacuse the BBC just covered a case over here this week regarding American Pit Bulls and it involved an Irish Gaelic football player.......
'The BBC had contacted Finland regarding it's discoveries in April. The BBC itself had begun it's investigation after Gerard Cavlan, a football player from Northern Ireland, was convicted on charges related to dog fighting.'
What is wrong with these people.......... they get their kicks from watching animals tear each other apart............. Sick or what
