HAPPY 4th of JULY

want to wish you all a wonderful 4th of July, whether you are together with family and friends or alone celebrating in your own way, or for those unsung heros who have to be out there patroling the streets, manning the fire departments and all first responders who are out there away from your families to make sure my friends and family are safe  THANK YOU



for the wonderful men and women past present and future of the united states armed services  without you all there would be no United States of America. Without  your devotion to our freedom we would not be celebrating this 4th of July. To those of you who have given your all, THANK YOU  and may God Bless each and everyone of you.

Lastly please remember to be responsible, for those of you out there who will be drinking as part of your celebrating PLEASE don't drink and drive.   A dear friend just lost a piece of her heart when her 21 year old son and 8 month old grandson were killed by  a drunk driver, someone  who chose to drive after drinking, now many many lives have been changed so PLEASE PLEASE be responsible. i know anyone who drinks at my house will not be driving  .

God Bless you all and  ENJOY!!!!  Love Vicki

rest in peace our friend

what a story

as some of u know  keesha and i have been friends for a long time. we met online at a forum we both belonged to a while ago, well  to make a long story short we got to meet, had wanted to get together for a bit longer but we took what we could get. timing just did  not work out for us to get to spend a entire day so i drove up to the airport to visit with her while she was waiting for her connection(she had been in portland visiting her mom previously so when we found out she had a layover we said cool we can meet in real life. so we did     ,one small thing messed us up it took me almost 1 1/2 hours to get thru security because was not prepared and all my   stuff in my purse set off the warning issues, i was able to go back into the secure area finally(she and i are both disabled so they made exceptions)   here is a picture of us together    with her 2 kidlets   don't we look happy:)
