Well Casey Anthony is at it again.  The news showed a tape of the Grandmother of Caylee, proclaiming that she knows she’s alive.  Everyone watching watches with a sick feeling.  Why would Casey Anthony put her parents through so much agony over the loss of their grand daughter?  Can you imagine what it is like being Casey Anothony’s parent’s right now.  Their trying desperately to protect themselves from the media and all the craziness that goes along with it, and they haven’t really had a chance to reconcile themselves that their own daughter may have killed their granddaughter.  What a mess.  Prayers and well wishes for the Anthony’s.  Hoping they find what they need to be at peace. 

Audiences are falling in love with HBO’s “True Blood”.  Be careful, it is addictive!  It’s a very imaginative and sexy show about Vampires and how they might integrate into our society in a “peaceful” way.  Good Luck. 

Dad is hanging in there these days.  He’s stabilized for a while now after he recovered from the pnemonia. 

Our tougher challenges include getting him in the shower to bath and changing his cloths.  He must be somewhat depressed, as he doesn’t seem to enjoy the bath at all. 

Caitlyn (Dad’s dog, shit zu) got another haircut today.  I’m sure she looks beautiful!!  Dad was worried about her getting her hair cut.  But Caitlyn always loves a new look. 

Well we’re all heading over to a concert tonight, I’ve got to run.  Keep up, with the good.

That’s One Bell You Can’t Unring!
The liberal newspapers are reporting that the distance between McCain and Obama is widening.  However, all the polls left a certain amount of ambiguity.  At some point Americans are going to realize that this is one bell you can’t unring.  I understand, the unwillingness to want to trust a republican in office again.  This republican is different.  Use your logic, look at the amount of experience McCain offers. When you review Obama’s experience, you’ll see it is very limited. 

Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on regarding experience.  He’s a junior Senator.  Who reacts slowly when there are issues that need addressing.  No time during the time Obama was sworn in the Senate did he lead a special interest group.  The groups he did belong to, never met.  Here’s a quote from William M. Briggs a statistician who references the amount of time each Candidate spent in the Senate. 

To read more about the quote below, please refer to this URL:  http://wmbriggs.com/blog/?=McCain+in+the+Senate

” Barack Obama served 143 days in the senate and no days in the military before he began his run for president.   John McCain served 26 years in the senate and 22 years in the military before he began his campaign. ”  Quoted from William M. Briggs, Statistician All manner of statistical analysis cheerfully undertaken.”

I Am There ~ by Hanoochi (http://www.hanoochi.com/)

 

I am the breeze that kisses your cheek.
I am the sun that warms your face.When you look at the purple evening sky, it is me.
When you see a majestic mountain, it is me.

 

When the birds sweetly sing, it is my voice.
When the water gently laps against the shore, it is my heartbeat.

I am the green grass against your feet.
I am the refreshing shade of summer.

In the stars, you see my eyes.
In the blue sky, you see my body.

 

Feel the air that surrounds you, I am there.
Feel the love in your heart, I am there.

Casey Anthony
The Casey & Caylee Anthony case has all the makings of an old fashion Murder Trial.  The public is blood-thirsty for news about the case.  What makes this case most interesting is the Mother who never reported her daughter missing.  Those of us that are mothers, know this is not normal.  In fact, it’s what nightmare’s are made of, when your child goes missing.  Caylee’s grandmother finally report the missing three (3) year old. 

When I lay me down to die
People want to know what happened to the missing toddler?  We may never really know what happened to little Caylee.  Just like the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932.  More questions than answers.

McCain Won Third Presidential Debate
McCain out did him self in the third Presidential debate.   While Senator Obama did everything he could to woe the audience with his so-called “charismatic” charm.  Senator McCain, stood his ground and defended his plan for the future of the United States.  

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
It’s unfortunate the Obama has the twenty-something vote.  Apparently the twenty-somethings, don’t value experience.  Which is perfectly understandable if you’re someone who possesses no experience.  Why would you believe this is a vital and necessary requirement for someone who is going to run for the President of the United States. 

That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
What’s more the experience and age difference between both Presidential Candidates only became apparent when Senator Obama was speaking to his lack of experience having only served in the senate 143 days (and with no military experience what’s so ever).  Senator McCain having over 26 years experience serving in the senate and 22 years in the military and coming from a long line of McCain’s who have served this country well.  Senator McCain has 26 more years of Life Experience than Senator Obama.  And has demonstrated his ability to take the bull by the horns where policy and issues that concern our country are concerned.   (Statistics comparing Senators McCain and Obama provided by William M. Briggs).

When things look down, look up! 
Prayer Changes things, many people don’t realize this.  In a way, this is really a demonstration of a lack of faith.  If you really believed in God – asking Him for help would be effortless.  Because you’d know the help will be there – regardless.  Why not demonstrate your faith in God by sending Him a little hello! prayer today.  Or even try a bolder move and ask Him to help you with something in your life that you’re struggling with today.  You job concerns, your health, your family concerns….  No one is ever going to know (God is discreet like that!), it’ll only between you and God. 

Gonna go to the place that’s the best!
Many Thanks to Norman Greenbaum for use of his Lyrics.

Local News
Yesterday Local news reported the Casey Anthony’s indicted for the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony.  Tragic, yes.  But is this another tragedy in the making?  There is a report that Casey will be representing herself.  Need I say any more?? 

Presidential Candidates
Both Obama and McCain are preparing for another Presidential Debate.  This is the third debate of it’s kind and it may be it’s last depending on the success of the debate.  This time it will be held in Hempstead, N.Y. at Hofstra University.  Bob Schieffer of CBS will moderate.  Theoretically, the general public believes Obama won the first two debates.  McCain has had less success winning over the swing votes and as a result he is taking a hard look at his proposed campaign and what he can do for the middle class. 

News about Dad
Dad returned to the Senior Center today.  He was feeling a little tired.  We encouraged him to go anyway.  Because it’s got to be better for him than laying around the house.  He seems to be feeling better as well.  There is less coughing and hacking.  We’ve been giving Dad gobs of homemade chicken soup and lots of Florida grown oranges.  They both seem to be helping.

Prayer becoming More and More a part of Family Life
With all the stress of these times, Mortgage Crisis, Loss of Jobs, War Raging on, Government expenditures of 1 Billion a month on the war.  Prayer is becoming more and more a part of everyday families life.   Families know that times are difficult.  And as a result are begining to look up to God for help in everyday life.  “Today, my father and I bowed our heads and prayed to God for His blessing in these difficult times.” reported blog author of Family Gathers.   “We prayed for our needs and the needs of others.”  Noting that many other people are truly experiencing real suffering in this difficult economic crisis. 

Nothing sums up the need for prayer like this expression “Life is fragile, Handle with prayer.”

Dad takes us for a ride

Dad recuperating in the Sun outside by the pool.  Nothing like the warm sun to chase away a bad cold.

Last Night, at 4:27 AM Dad’s dog, Caitlyn woke me up because Dad had left the house!!  I got the whole family up and we were running around in the dark looking for Dad.  We found him in one of the cars on the passenger side.  He was sound asleep. 

I was grateful we found him safe and sound.  From now on we’re going to turn on the house alarm, so that if a door opens an alarm will sound. 

We’re all a little tired today, Dad included.  Dad sits outside in the warm Sun for a couple of hours everyday to help with his cold. 

Local News
In central Florida the news is filled daily for the last three months with the case of Casey Anthony.  Casey Anthony the mother of Caylee Anthony born August 9, 2005.  Caylee went missing and was last seen June 9, 2008.  Her mother never reported her daughter missing.  Casey’s family reported the missing granddaughter under protest of the mother.  The missing three year old was reported missing July 15, 2008 under protest of the mother Casey Anthony. 

First of all, this case does not show the media at it’s finest.  Desperate for news, the media plays out the drama in the news on a daily basis or sometimes hourly basis.  Yes, it is shocking, it shouldn’t have taken the law this much time to arrive at the conclusion that little Caylee is dead. 

Secondly, why hasn’t Casey been referred to a psychiatrist??  Casey’s own mother thinks she is a sociopath.  Why is she being allowed to coerce law enforcement into giving her extra time to find Caylee??  This is really baffling.  Additionally, the public is so outraged by this case they are actually showing up at the Anthony residence demonstrating their outrage of the case.  The Anthony family has actually been forced to take this to the courts as they have been assaulted by demonstrators outside their home. 

Is this a demonstration of Florida’s confidence in mental health care?? 

This may be the way the law worked one hundred years ago, but it certainly shouldn’t be working this way now.  I am amazed that this is playing out on the local news in this manner.
