Larissas birthday

So finally on Sunday we were able to gether for a fun filled afternoon for a bowling party. We gathered together for Larissas birthday and fisrt communion party combined. She was so funny as she insisted on wearing her dress bowling but really she spent much of the time twirling around.
  Earlier in the day she had got to do the sprinkling rite of the holy water. I wan't sure if she would do it but she did get up in front of everyone and then even went up to bring the gifts to Father Mike.
  i think she love the fact she got a real bowling pin from the alley.

Thunderstorms

2 nights in a row. Thunderstorms,we dont get them that often. But for the past 2 nights we have had some really good ones;) The girls have mixed feelings about them. I personally like them and have missed them. It is always nice to walk in a a warm spring rain. I remember as a child waiting and watching for the storms to come in and then as soon as the thunder and lightning was over walking in the rain or riding my horse thru the rain. Times like these have past but the memories live on.

No consideration

Today I went outside to an area on the back side of our shed which we only use for a compost area. So I dont go out that often to this area. Only to find that the people who clean up the vacant house behind us dump their garbage their. This is so fustrating as the sheriff said I cant prove it so I have to pay to have it dumped. I say I know it was them because it is in an area only they could reach so obviously they felt we didnt go back there and wouldn't notice until it was to late. I really think this stinks but I guess I cant do anything about it but vent and figuer out a way so they cant dump anything else over our fence in that area.

A Sad Day

   Today my oldest son called to tell me a young man who growing up had spent alot of time at our house who was like part of the family and had hung around with my oldest son had been hit and killed. At first I thought so young he really hadn't even got a chance to live then my thoughts went to who would do something like this as it was a hit and run. Who hits someone and doesnt even take the time to call for help. You dont leave someone on the side of the road to pass away in pain and agony. Then my thoughts went to his parents my friend Donna (his mother) and the 2 little girls he left behind only 10 and 6. 
   But those children now have to live without their Daddy and Donna without her son. Stephen wasn't the only victim here so was his family parents, grandparents, children , the mothers to his children and all his extended family. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all and May Stephen rest in Peace. You only had 30 years here but you did make a impact on many lives.

   To the man who did this I dont know how you can live with yourself. Shame on you. We are not suppose to judge but what you did was unspeakable.
