I nominated myself for Blogger awards. I hope I win. Not much has happened this week. Still waiting for my Aunt Ruby to show up but doesn't look like she's going to make it this month. Maybe she won't be coming anymore.
I was so tired this week and now I'm beginning to understand why I'm so tired all the time. Maybe it is that time for that natural process which every woman hopes doesn't happen. It's an end to one part of your life but also a beginning to another.
I had a nice visit with my mom last week. I only wish I would have had more money to do some fun things with her but she said she was glad to just get some rest. It's hard to believe she is going to be 80 this year.
I was able to get some photos of the moon this past weekend.

My First Video Blog

On monday there was a massacre at a college in Virginia. A gunman killed 33 people at Virginia Tech. It was so unbelievable and has been all over the news for days. It's all anyone can talk about. It took 2 days to figure out the identity of the killer who shot himself. It turned out he was a south korean with a green card over here. He had been in the states for 14 years. He was a loner and apparently nobody knew him and the ones that remember him say he was strange and stayed to himself. He apparently hated rich people and was taking medication for depression. My opinion on it is people made h im an outcast. I think someone made him so mad that it pushed him over the edge. American people don't realize people from different countries are so different. It's a cultural thing. You can say one thing to an american and they just get mad and shrug it off. You say something to an asian or anyone from a different country that doesn't understand our humor or ways then they take it differently. Asians are good for controling their temper because they hold it all in until one day they errupt.
We have to be careful how we treat people and what we say and how we say it or this tradgedy will occur again which is probably most likely.

Wow it's been a while. I forgot all about this blog until I read another blog and wondered if I still had this one. So much has happened in the last 6 months. Jeff lost his job in January. Which worked out well because Sam was having problems with Brianna. They are half brother and sister raised as cousins. Brianna is 7 and Sam is 4. She had been doing some inappropriate things to him. Her grandma watched Sam so they saw each other every day. It was best to keep them apart for a while. They do well now when they see each other. We keep a good eye on those two. I finally found out what was wrong with my ears. I have some kind of eczema otitis and the doc said I probably always had it. I can believe that because I've always had some type of dermatitis on my hands and feet. They have been flaring up lately.

Jeff has been home with Sam since January. It is now April. Don't ask me how we've made it on my check for the last 4 months. I don't know. The only way we made it was our tax refund but now it's run out and it's time for him to get off his ass and get a job. He did have to have surgery on his finger when he cut it in january and cut the tendon and nerve. But it's all healed up now.
He does keep the house clean and keeps sam at home all day. But I have to work about 60 hours every week.
I have been getting into my astrophotography lately. I went to an astrophotography conference in February and another one in March. The one in March was in Greensboro and I entered the lunar astrophotography contest and won 3rd place Here is the photo















Sam is getting so BIG. Here is a few pics of him.
