Memorial Day


Well I thought when the semester was over, I would have time to post on my blog....busy, busy, busy.....

Well I had my rummage sale, a great sunny day for it...did pretty well. That is one thing to check off the list. Now I am off to see my son Brandon today, then visit my friend Joanna.....tonight I am going to HerrinFesta Italiana with my co-workers....lots of good food and good entertainment. Luke Bryan is playing tonight at 9:30, or as my friend texted me Vt0 (she forgot to use the function button on her cell phone, thought it meant she was going to veto me from going....so now that is her new nickname)

Tomorrow I will place flowers for Jonny....I miss him so much.

To everyone, safe travels, safe Memorial Day and remember those who lost their lives for our freedom.

Ah I love garage sales! Used to hate them when I was growing up and my mom would drag me to them but I have grown to appreciate 'em. My dad served in the navy for 27 years and my brother in law is currently in the air force. It's so important to remember their sacrifice, especially in times like these.
I'm just starting with pre requesates but hope to double major in english and sports psychology.
What do you do?

Personality Plus

I found a new blog site ... /www.reneeswope.blogspot.com/ .....she talks about, Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus...in this book four personalities are mentioned 1. Phlegmatic 2. Choleric 3. Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work. I have read "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey about temperament, character and intelligence and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, PhD. These books are interesting, informative, thought provoking and motivating. They not only tell you about your personality, but about those around you. They teach you about other's personalities. It teaches about diversity of pe...

LOOK UP!

  When I graduated in 2011 with master’s degree the theme of the ceremony was “Look up!” Everyone has their eyes focused on their laptops, iPad, cell phones, TV etc. “Look up!” is the newest version to “Stop and smell the roses”.   There is a whole world out there, the world is passing you by, everything that happens in this world affects you. We stay at a condo on the beach every winter when visiting my family in Florida for Christmas. The seagulls fly by our 8 th story balcony every year and every day. Alas, every year I say “Hey, look at the birds”.   Unfortunately, no one listens, and they miss out. However, this year they accidently saw the birds, it was a fluke. They were so excited and talked for several minutes about this event. They acted like this was the first time it happened. Well…LOOK UP! The last 2 Christmases I saw dolphins in the water when looking out our condo window. Did anyone else see them? No, the computers, TV and cell phones were much more ...
