Good afternoon, Victoria.

Thank you!! You understand that I'm not biased or anything, but I think Marissa is pretty cute too. I have more pictures that I will probably post tomorrow. Depends on whether I change my mind about the Welcome Graphic I'm planning to use.

Everyone must be spending the day the same way I am. In and out of the internet ..... pull a few weeds .... do some laundry ..... watch some baby birds ..... upload some pictures ...... check my pings. : )

Kinda slow today. The weather is too nice to spend all day in front of a computer.!!

THANKS TO GOD


Hello God,
I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!

Marissa is beautiful, and I'd love to see more pics. You're right about the weather, it's getting harder to spend time in front of the puter. I'm in and out as well, there is so much to do, so little time.

A couple of jokes I received today :-)

A female blonde was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman cop who was also a blonde. The cop asked to see the driver's license. The driver dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.

What does it look like?" she asked. The cop replied, "It's square and it has your picture on it."

The driver finally found a square mirror, looked at it and handed it to the cop. "Here it is," she said.

The blonde cop looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying,

"Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."

New Kittens

John Kerry is out jogging one morning and notices Little Hannah on the corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to Little Hannah and says, "What's in the box, little lady?"

Little Hannah says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens." John Kerry laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?"

"Democrats," says Little Hannah.

"Oh that's cute," he says and goes on his way. A couple of days later, John Kerry is running with his buddy Teddy Kennedy and he spies Little Hannah with her box just ahead.

Sen. Kerry says to Teddy, "You gotta check this out," and they both jog over to Little Hannah. Sen. Kerry says, "Look in the box Teddy, isn't that cute? Look at those little kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend Teddy what kind of kittens they are."

Little Hannah replies, "They're Republicans."

"Whoa!" John Kerry exclaims in total surprise. "I came by here the other day and you told me they were Democrats. What's changed?"

"Well," Little Hannah explains, pointing into the box. "their eyes are open now."

Oh, I LOVE it ! She is cute, and I know she had a great time. The Zoo is a really special thing, especially for the little ones, huh?

I remember when I was just a little kid - probably about 7-8 and my brother was 5-6 - and we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. We had a great time. In fact, some of my cousins went, too. A little family thing. We have a Meek Home Movies converted to VCR of that little adventure, too. Real memories there, I tell ya.

I'm glad ya'll had such a great time at the Zoo!

I'll be heading out shortly. I have a little get-together with my wife, Ming and some of their friends. A lady they knew in their home town (Shenyang) got married just recently to an American and we're having a little wing-ding at their place.

So, I'll see ya'll in the morning most likely. Have a GREAT evening, ya'll ! ;^)

We are Brothers, Die Hard, Hard Core, Tough Guy Poets. We have distinctly different styles. You are a diamond cutter and I wipe the mirror with my hand. If anything we compliment each other instead of competing. I set em up, you knock em down and vice versa.

Or
Freedom Isn't Free.

Decision

Pat Tillman was a special man,
He heard his nation’s call.
He answered just as others did,
For Freedom he stood tall.
He could have taken easy roads,
He really had it made.
He could have spent his leisure time,
Just lounging in the shade.
Instead he saw a tougher road,
He left the easy life.
He said good bye to friends and fame,
He hugged and left his wife
He trained and made Rangers home,
Then he went far away.
The work was tough, but so was he,
And never did he sway.
Along with other Brave and Young,
He fought the evil horde.
He’s left this life and moved along,
Now he is with the Lord.
We all salute this Brave Young Man,
And all who keep us free.
They are the best of all the best,
They fight for you and me.
