Just getting a jump on the day. I've got lots to do. Max is coming over for a perm. Then I'm running to Chester to see Miss Faith - she and I have an appointment. Then back home to finish up things here for the day.
Max and I got her perm done this morning in record time. Even though I could have strangled the person that cut her hair this time - it was too short in the back and it gave me the dickens of a time in getting it rolled up. But as usual Max and I muddled through on the perm and she looked great when she left. Our timing was precision - I need to leave at just about 10:30 and she was heading out the door just prior to that. Special thanks go out to her also, for the lovely necklace, earrings & braclet set that she brought over for me. It is a beautiful purple, almost the same color as some of the Tanzinite stones that I have in my earrings.
When I arrived to visit with Miss Faith, she was just getting back from a walk with her "Gammy". She was just so cute in her little sweater. She gave me a huge smile when she saw me. It was enough to just make me melt. She was watching a stray dog and having a facinating time too. I think that she would have loved to have 'played' with the puppy.
We spent the morning playing together in the family room with a few of her favorite toys. She had lots of smiles for me and I was able to get several photos of her elusive front two teeth. She was all smiles and happiness for me. We did have a grand time together.

Faith & I spent some time reading one or two of her books. She really does like looking at the pages and playing with the textured elements. I also had her walking around holding onto my fingers. It won't be long before she takes off and starts walking on her own. Then she will be everywhere all at once.A Conversation with Faith
This is her really big deal photo. Standing up holding on to things and grinning just as big as she could showing off her two teeth. Nothing better! I was getting all kinds of giggling and talking from her. She even was talking about her da da some. I could have sworn I heard her say bye also, you never know with these little sponges. They are liable to say anything.
I was able to feed Miss Faith her lunch. She is such a good eater. She likes her veggies but meat is her favorite. Hmm....wonder where she gets that from??? Next thing you know we'll have to have her some deer meat pureed so that she can have it for lunch one afternoon.Faith lit up like a little Christmas tree when her mommy came home. She was so happy to see her. I was able to see so many of her mommy's facial expressions and characterisitcs as she was playing. She especially has the whole sticking her tounge out thing out down to a science. Just like Mom. She even has some of her 'sneaky' looks too. Just looking at the two in the picture together there is no doubt that Faith is Danielle's, their facial features are so remarkably similar.
Some excellent news on Danielle, she has lost about 2 pant sizes lately. I don't know how close that is to pre-Faith, but she is looking very nice.
Faith with her Mommy on her way in for her afternoon nap. I got my final hug and snuggle as I left for the car.On a different note, Walter came by this afternoon to challenge Sean to another Empire Earth match. They were on the computers for about 4 hours again. They took all that time to set up a civilization only to destroy it in about 30 seconds. They did have fun.
Walter, Dean & I all watched Glenn Beck's program this evening on Islam Extemist. It was a very interesting program and dovetailed nicely into several other things that I have been reading lately. It is very unique the way in which the media has failed to report the contradictions of the Islamic leaders. They talk nice here then go back home and talk of nothing but destroying Israel and America. I guess the short answer here is 'eternal vigilance'.
Walt called this evening to 'brag' about his electric bill it is a whopping $23.00, since the only thing that he really uses electricity for is television, lights, computer and fridge that is terrific. He is simply estatic about the free gas heat and water heater.

For the Thought of the Day File - this one is much longer than the usual quote.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!
Can a good Muslim be a good American? I forwarded that question to a friend that worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his forwarded reply:
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth... The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache..
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.
A four-year-old was at the pediatrician's office for a check up. As the doctor looked in her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I'll find Big Bird in here?"
The little girl stayed silent.
Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat. He
asked, "Do you think I'll find the Cookie Monster down there?"
Again, the little girl was silent.
Then the doctor put a stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heart beat, he asked, "Do you think I'll hear Barney in there?"
"Oh, no!", the little girl replied, "Jesus is in my heart...
Barney's on my underpants."
An eye witness account from New York City, on a cold day in December, some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and,removing her gloves, knelt down,washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable now."
As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her . . "Are you God's wife?"

The following is his forwarded reply:
- Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
- Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
- Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
- Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
- Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
- Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
- Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
- Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
- Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
- Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.
If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above statements, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. Pass it on Fellow Americans. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.
On a lighter note, Mom surprised me with a collection of humorous tales. Here we go....
