This is what happens when a daughter has no children, she buys a Mercedes for her little dog!  LOL  No not really, this little toy car belongs to a little girl, oh and that is Olive, my "grand daughter"...

My sister's son Andrew, is my Godson, and I am a very proud Aunt and Godmother!  You see Andrew was sworn in as an officer for the Department of Homeland Security!

I remember when he was born, they day he was christen and how hard my poor sister fought to keep him out of trouble!  I remember the many times she would call me saying, "I just don't know what I am going to do about Andrew"!

Every parent knows it is never easy raising children, the heartache, the tears, and the joy, somehow is all rolled into each child.

So for all the tears and uncertainty my sister faced with her son,  she is so proud of the man he as become, and so is his Aunt, so much that I just had to share. :)

As you know we have had some the the worst weather in years, centuries, sorry centuries not true, but it feels like that to me. LOL

Yesterday, as I was leaving work, the snow, sleet and rain had seized and this wonderfully bright, but weak sun peeked through the clouds, as if saying, "Hold one Sweets, just a few more weeks"!

I took this with the camera in my phone, so it is not that great, but it still captured the colors and the feel of that wonderful "Sun" just trying it's best to shine. 

This made me think about us, people, we are all just trying to do our best in this life, trying to find our "Sun" so we too can shine!  I know it is "sappy", but think about it!!!!

Have a great Day!!!

Snow arrived on Friday evening, and as usual had to run to the stored for all the bread, milk and eggs to last for a month!

As I fought the crowds, an an older person ran her cart against the back of my heel!  Now I am limping towards the bread aisle and as I reach for the last loaf of bread, I get elbowed in the ribs, the pain doubles me over and I look up to see the same older person reaching for my bread!  Now I say, Ok, I am sure it was an accident, and although I am not happy, I now turn to get my eggs, surly she won"t be there, right?  WRONG!

There is one carton left, I am reminded of the famous scene from gunfight at the O.K. Corral, we both are standing there, eying each other, hands on the cart handles, I think I feel sweat on my forehead!  Slowly, I start to move towards the eggs, she also moves, we keep our eyes glued to each other, each not wanting the other to smell the fear of no eggs for breakfast or baking!!!  Slowly, as we stand staring, knowing that one of us will make a dash for the lone carton of eggs, it happens!

A Dad with his little girl strolls by and takes our eggs!!!  LOL

We both are standing there staring at each other, and then what else is there to do but to start laughing, and we did! 

The moral of this story, don"t take life so seriously, there will always be eggs to cook, but just don't mess with an us "older" people for them! LOL
