Sunday

I'm off for Church this morning - choir practice, Sunday school and Worship service. This afternoon, Alice is bringing Terry over for a haircut. I've got bunches of stuff to send home with her.

Mom sent along this picture that she took last night while I was holding the puppy.

I had a full afternoon - Alice & Terry came by to have Terry's hair cut. He was a real shaggy dog, that needed to have major trim job. He was a really big boy, he sat in the high chair while I cut his hair. This was a big change since he normally sits in Alice's lap while I cut his hair.

The final walk through of the house was done this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. So far, we've heard nothing from the realtor's. So I suppose that no news is good news.

I was able to get the storage room cleaned out this afternoon. I installed Tyvek on the outer wall to keep the weather and critters out. I feel better about storing stuff out there now that the Tyvek barrier is in place.

I've been enjoying the wonderful weather that we've been having today. I've opened up the windows and backdoor. The cool air coming in has been quite pleasant. Carla has enjoyed going out and playing today as well. At one point today, she ran around the building and went to Walter's front door to have him let her inside. She was so silly. But it does tell me that I need to put a move on getting the screening put around patio area. So that she won't get away from me. Although at least for the moment I know where she'll be - either Walter's or my front door.

The new hair style/cut made a BIG splash at church. Everyone really liked it. Dr. Fowler even made comment. The men in the choir behind me kept playing with the back of my hair saying it was "so bouncy". They were just too full of themselves. I even had one comment that it made me look a lot younger. Ego boosters all around.

Thought For the Day: "Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein

I had heard this before but this is the first email I had seen on this subject. In light of political correctness, I hope that this doesn't offend anyone but I thought that the information in this email was worth knowing about.

Who is Barack Obama? Could he be a sleeper?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
