It's hard to believe that its been 8 years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers, Pentagon, and in the field of Pennsylvania. Time goes by so quickly.
I remember where I was....it was a devastating day. Totally changed the future of our country.....and our lives.
As a country, we are blessing with many bounties......and should be grateful for them. As a person, I am so blessed to have a good job, loving family and friends.....and the opportunity to enjoy my life.
I am so happy today....life is good.
God Bless those that died on this day on September 11, 2001, and those that have died protecting our freedom, and those that continue to serve.
God Bless America.

Short Week
Thankfully this is a short week. Our quick, but very fun, trip to Freno wore us out. We need some time to catch up on sleep and recover.
We had such a great time with Elena, Frank, and Elena's family. We had good food (courtesy of Chef Frank), and lots of fun. I hated to see the weekend end.
The dogs did well....Katie was her neurotic self.....I know she drove them crazy....
Back to work.....and Oscar is still outside my window. I am just amazed he's still there. Amazed and happy....it's so good to see him.
Things that make me smile: Walt's unwaivering love; pictures from our trip to CA; text messages; sunshine; Chai Lattes; Oscar fixing his web outside my window; thoughts of our vacation in October; finishing all my work; new beginnings; my friend's support; my Ipod; the endof the work day.....

Mini Vacations
Soon, we'll be on the road headed to Fresno, CA. A quick trip or mini vacation to see good friends, and enjoy a change of scenery. I've been looking forward to this for several months.....needing a break, and girlfriend time with Elena.
I'm looking forward to: a road trip with Walt and the dogs; spending time with Elena and Frank; meeting Elena's family after all these years; conversations with Walt; Sonic; warm weather; bbqing....
Mini vacations don't last long, but they seem to put the energy back into your life. Just a quick trip to rejuvinate things.....until the next time. Just under 60 days to go until our cruise....and counting.....

September!
It's hard to believe that it's finally September. I don't know where August went....but it flew by.
On the way in to work today, it started to rain.....I love this time of year. After the heat of the summer, it's nice to have cooler weather. On top of that, it means that things will begin to change....the colors of the trees, the days grow shorter, and the holidays are just around the corner.
Things to remember: say thank you; never miss a change to forgive; tell those you love what they mean to you; don't leave the coffee pot on when you leave the house; wear deodorant; tell someone when they have a boogie or something in their teeth; work to your potential; set your goals and work hard to meet them; be loyal; try not to take everything so seriously; and smile as often as possible.
Oscar is still in the window...dirty web and all. I wonder when he'll spin a new web.....the weather took it's toll on the one he had.....hang in there little buddy!
