It is cool here

I ran across this picture packed in with Christmas stuff from 2001....Lane and Emmie..

I have been wanting to wash the car this morning. After I got back from having blood drawn I changed clothes and went outside ....It was only 36 degrees and I decided I should wait....It is now 43 and at 1:00 it is supposed to be 56....I think I will wait till one to wash the car...I could clean a little but I hate to...But I guess I will go spiff up the kitchen. It would only take 15 minutes and would make a world of difference in how the house looks.

News Today...

Storms are all across the US stretching from the West Coast to the East Coast….I think 12 have been killed so far. I am thankful none of my sisters are without power like they were last year…Bill is, but he is young and capable…

B of A has repaid all of it’s 45 million in Tarp money back to the Government and Citi bank plans to as early as next week….I guess this will be just in time for the CEO’s year end bonus…That was a really good idea to tag that bonus cap along with getting tarp money….Way to go Obama…

Those fire fighters in Conn. Have won their case in the Supreme court, basically saying they were discriminated against …Black fire fighters were allowed to test for promotions and the white fire fighters were not. Today several of those fire fighters are receiving their promotions.

The Secret Santa give away of $100.00 bills is still going strong in KC. Larry Stewart, millionaire started randomly giving people money. He remained anonymous till right before his death in 2007 from cancer. A friend of his vowed to carry on his good will. It seems he has been busy.

On a sour note though a man dressed as Santa in Ohio tried to kidnap a 12 year old girl. He was caught by police. I am afraid there are more men like this Santa than those Santa’s giving away $100.00 bills. It is a shame.

Ole Sanford of SC is not going to be impeached but slapped on the hand….Oh well, he found his sole mate…The House Panel said he had brought shame and disgrace to his position…Amen..

Tiger woods just keeps getting his story printed and re printed. He has always been a very private person (now we may know why) but the press is sure trying to get even with him. He is trying to lay low. That is probably best….Oh, lay low, that could almost be a play on words….

Mackenzie will be getting on a plane next Wednesday to go home for three weeks. She has not been home sick and I am glad but it will be good for her to get to go home for awhile. She will be getting to go to her new house. We have a big box of presents wrapped and packed and Missy will pack the suitcase this weekend. Mackenzie has plenty of clothes so we can pack early with no problem. I hope she will be ready to come back after three weeks....

Two weeks ago when we were in at Wal Mart we ran into Santa. They take a free 5X7 picture and give to you...It was the best deal I have found this Christmas.

Benjamin had one taken also. Maybe his Mama will post it. I have not seen it yet..

The Kids

Well when Bill moved to Sho Low I guess he knew he was in for this.....They have been without power for 36 plus hours...a storm blew through Monday night...Snow, wet, cold, and kids with runny noses...I do not miss that..They have a Generator and some sort of back up power thing since Bill is in the 911 business. I'll bet 911 has been getting lots of calls...Here he is digging out his truck....4 wheel and I see chains...and he is knee deep in snow!
