This Is Too Funny!

Who Knew?

When we went to the Trop this past May, I knew that the Rays were better than they had been in the past, I couldn't believe all the Red Sox gear on people who were idiots and not paying attention to the game, and that I hated cowbells! I hope they smoke the Phillies whose fans treated Tito like crap. Who can't get behind Rocco Baldelli?

Go Rays!

Dear Mr. Obama

This brave gentleman says it a lot better than I can.

Vets For Freedom Ad - Obama Doesn't Care About Me

Informing the Subprime Mortgage Debacle

Usually I don't pass on this type of information - but I've just really had it with all the lies and fabrications from the Democrats and the Obama campaign regarding this economic meltdown. When my husband became a realtor several years ago, I was shocked by all the exotic options the mortgage companies were offering. When I was a young enlisted person, I really needed my VA loan so I could get a house without a big down payment. That was one of my most important benefits at the time. It became irrelevant as one could get a mortgage with no income. Look at the video below and see what the genesis of this debacle is - it has the Democrats hands all over it. Destroying wealth and impoverishing "Main Street." Great job, Democrats!

Such a Sad Day

Honolulu, originally uploaded by reenie61b.

I am so blessed to be in this beautiful place. As I was walking around Waikiki, I saw the front page of the Honolulu Star Bulletin reported the crash of a Coast Guard HH-65 helicopter late Thursday evening during routine small boat ops. One of the four dead is one of my OCS classmates, Andy Wischmeier. I hadn't seen him in many years, but you go through a lot together in OCS. It breaks my heart.

Hawai'i Again

I just checked into my hotel - Hilton Hawaiian Village. I was stationed here for three years - 1994-1997 and enjoyed my time here very much. It's hard to believe that it has been over 10 years since I left. Tommy was in elementary school and Michaela was not yet four. Tom is a senior this year. How quickly time flies. It felt a bit melancholy flying in here. I have some very wonderful memories of my children here before I got divorced. We had so much fun going to the Hale Koa pools and beaches in Waikiki. Michaela doesn't remember much about Hawaii. I'd like to bring them here for a holiday. I think I'll try to make that happen. I'll have a lot of pictures to download - I plan to go exploring tomorrow. Till then ...
