The new Five Dollar Bill...

I'm back... just for a few minutes... Here is a copy of the new 5 dollar bill that is currently being circulated...Since February 28, my husband and I and our beloved dog, Mize, have been living in 3 room motel in Hinesville. I have continued to work and will retire on May 30, 2008. We are waiting for our house to be completed and found out this past weekend it will not be until May 21... I am so anxious to move back into a real house... Lou and I are always getting in each other's way.... we just laugh and tell each other ... only so many days left... and then we will be retired...together...

Well, time to close... hope to visit with you'all soon. MMM

Gotta go, gotta go!

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu, Adieu, adieu,

To yieu and yieu and yieu.

Being a Grandma, I can do anything...

PSALM 127: 3 Children are God's heritage.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Thank you God for letting me be a Grandma!

MMM

I'm thanking You... because you haven't given up on a wretch like me...

DEAR GOD:

I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.
I am thanking you because I am alive.
I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties.
I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

God is just so good, and he's good all the time.

The latest in vehicle security...

I rec'd this little movie over the weekend... and I am still laughing...

probably would need to get a huge supply of bananas...

MMM

Going to the highest bidder - Yikes!

If this is contracted out... we are all in a world of HURT!

MMM

Get a job by learning wetback English...

I wish I had taken this language course instead of Spanish... I may have found a better job...

No, seriously... I do have something to say about when I appled for a job while working for Los Angeles County Public Library System ... While in Library School, I specialized in Audio-Visual, hoping to be an A-V Librarian... After receiving my Master of Science in Library Science (MSLS) from the University of Southern California, I applied for an A-V Librarian position with LA County. I interviewed but was not selected for the position... now, here is the kicker... Because I had worked in the A-V department for over 5 years... I was asked to train the new AV Librarian... I refused and asked to be transferred to another Library within the County System. It was not long after that I was selected by the Army Library Program, and I began my professional career as the Reference Librarian at Leighton Barracks for the Wuerzburg Military Community... I have been an Army Librarian for over 32 years... and I love it. My husband has always said..."Your job is like a paid hobby."... MMM
