Christmas Eve
The above picture was one that my daughter snapped as my grandsons came up to me and I wasn't expecting what followed. William had a gift he picked himself of bath oils, bubble bath and lotions. His face was priceless as he told me he loved me and he got what he knew I would like. My hand covered my mouth as I was starting to tear up. George was waiting his turn. Although George is 10 yrs. old now, for many of his years, he and I have been sharing coffee, cocoa and Nestle's strawberry drink that he and I believe no one else likes but us. He gave me a very pretty candle that he said he knew I would love and a gift package of fancy cocoa complete with tiny marshmallows. And... no surprise to me that there were only two cups ... one for him and one for me. It was a memorable moment. Thank you boys!
I have been posting on blogger for three years now and have two other blogs which you will find a link to. I wrote on Hurricane Katrina for over two years and then decided to create another blog which gave me more options to speak about whatever I chose to. So, here I am with yet another blog which I think is the most important, especially for the times we are presently living in. The videos that I will post from time to time are hosted by Michael Voris of RealCatholicTV.com.
Welcome to my Site! I have been blogging about Katrina since November 2005. I returned to my hometown in Pascagoula, Mississippi May 2003 approximately 3 1/2 yrs. after the loss of my husband. I sold my home in Gulfport in 2002 and went home to my main residence in Lumberton with the intention of staying .. instead I prepared that home to sell too. On arrival in Pascagoula, I resided with my daughter and son-in-law for 2 yrs. before moving into my present home in Moss Point. One might say I was "hop-scotching" from one place to another. On August 29. 05, I stayed with the daughter and family and was to experience the most unbelievable happenings of a hurricane gone wild. Looking back, I am glad I was with them .. I would do it again.Because of the poor media coverage that Mississippi received, I began to blog and eventually started posting news and taking pictures of damage or new construction. In some peculiar way, my "hopping" around put me, as far as a home goes, out of harms way. The two homes I sold were both damaged from the hurricane but my present one survived.So ... if you should be lead to my site through a search engine .. please read as I talk about Katrina and the aftermath.
