These are some memorable moments in time...

2011-12-11T14:41:00.000-05:00

Memorable moments some very special ones...

This is Nancy and I the night we met in Manila.
Wow it was a night to remember.
We started off trying to find each other at the airport.
After a long and long awaited Hug.
We went to the Cinema to watch a movie and catch up.
Wow there was a lot of catching up to do I had such a great time.
The movie was also a fantastic movie, Real Steel.

The next morning Nancy and I boarded a 747 Jet.
We were both excited we had a chance to fly together.
As you can see Nancy has a real eye for photography.
A couple beautiful scenic shots from our flight.

We spent some of our days at beautiful resorts, and attractions around Davao City.

We also spent alot of time in Compastela relaxing and seeing all the beauty.

Compastela has a lot to offer I had a wonderful time with Nancy and her family.

We also enjoyed several wonderful and very beautiful sunsets together.

We had a wonderful time visiting many places during our time we had together. The wavepool was one of the fun places we were able to visit.

This is EMARS wavepool in Davao.

Our day swimming at EMARS wavepool.

This is another small resort we stopped at in Davao where we ate, played music, videoke, and then we took a romantic evening swim.

Making the most of a wonderful vacation for us

Last year in October 2010 Nancy and I went to "Eden Nature Park" Davao Philippines, and tried the Zipline (Skyride) out. We had such a great and exciting time the ride was such a rush. The Zipline at Eden Nature Park is a descent ride it may not be as long or as high as other Ziplines but it is a lot of fun for first timers. You ride twice zip one way then back to the start.

This year October/November 2011 Nancy and I were a bit more daring so we went to "Outland Adventures" in Davao Philippines for a longer, and higher Zipline (Skyride) experience. You ride twice at Outland Adventures as well, one way is 600meters long 400feet high, then the second ride is 500meters long and 300feet high. Outland Adventures Zipline first they harness you at the park entrance for your ride, one of two choices or combination of both. Then you are driven up the mountain to start your trip back on two separate lines. There are two lines as a safety feature, the harnesses are connected to both so you are safe if one line would fail. The park employees are very safety conscience about every detail. Ziplining is such a rush, and so exhilarating while your accelerating across the sky on a cable trying to shot a video with an unsteady hand.

Maybe next time we will try the superman position instead of the seated position seems like every time we get a little more daring. We hope everyone enjoys our zipline videos, feel free to comment your opinions and questions are always welcome.

The healthy part of it

2011-11-10T17:56:00.001-05:00

JK and I are glad to be back. It was such a great quite long vacation we just have had and the times we’ve spent with each other having fun going to places, watching movies, dining in and out are just things we both wish wouldn’t have to end. But it has to just like any other things we do in life that has a time frame. Such is reality!

One of the so many things that I am probably going to miss is the morning walk. I simply find it healthy and such a helpful exercise to pair with natural weight loss pills if you’re on diet. Well I was on diet too. But sometimes things have to change (well temporarily) not because we want them but because we feel we deserve a break as well.

Normally it is just a short walk we did pretty much every till we get to the next corner of the street to get a ride to take us wherever we wish to go for the day. Other times I can’t keep up with it especially when the sun is all out - I could whine about it (oh God knows I do) but I certainly wouldn’t mind walking a few miles in the afternoon or at night.

Just how I wish we have more time together but reality has it. This time I am gluing myself back to the internet again while JK’s back to his normal life as well. We still do get hold of each other though. It just has to be the virtual way like we used to this time again.

Long time waiting but its time again.

2011-10-02T10:44:00.000-04:00

" My thoughts are always crossing oceans, and stop halfway around the world!!! "

It's been a year since we met in person seems so long ago. She is so far away yet so near to the heart.

Waiting impatiently for the time we meet again, wrapping our arms around each other with a long awaited giant hug for each other. I miss seeing her beautiful smile, and bright shining stars in those dark deep beautiful eyes of hers. The way she gazes at you with those beautiful eyes, looking into your eyes, a person could get lost forever in those gorgeous sparkling eyes. Soon we will be enjoying some time together once again, just enjoying life being happy together. We have fun things planned like zip-lining, I mean it was so much fun last time why not do it again? Karaoke, at a Karaoke bar yea why not maybe I won't sing, but then again maybe I will. Nancy has a beautiful voice so I know she will sing. There are so many things to do that we are just going to do a lot at random and enjoy the time. We both have faith, and believe that one day things will work out completely in our favor with a touch of God's hand. Are we meant to be?? There are Nye Sayers, and there are the ones who say yes. Well we have made it several years, met in person, and still looking forward to it again. GOD must have a plan seeing we have gone so far up this path already.

Why Do People Buy Bottled Drinking Water

2011-09-02T23:50:00.000-04:00

Despite tough economic times, people are still shelling out money for bottled water simply because not all tap water that are said to be safe really are. Consumers especially those who have little kids in their household often prefer bottled drinking simply because they feel bottled drinking water are cleaner, safe and healthier.

Well there are many other reasons why people buy bottled drinking water other than what are mentioned above. Like in some places, tap water is extremely dirty or unsuitable for drinking. Other people find their public water supply smelly or tinted with rusty color. But on top of those reasons given is convenience. Obviously it is much easier to just grab a bottle out in the fridge than it is to spend time pouring water into a glass. Besides, water just seems to be chilled better than it is if it’s coming directly out from the faucet.

But I don’t do that. I’d rather get a water delivery service and buy big gallon that would last me weeks and still use a glass. I simply find it too unrealistic to buy small bottles for regular consumption and then what about the empty bottles after?

Pics of my tattoo...

My tattoo is almost healed now its been two weeks now.

I think the tattoo Artist did a very nice job on it Thanks Gino.

People say small portraits are the hardest tattoo to do.

It was not a painful as I have heard I was told they are very painful,

don't get me wrong some pain is involved when you get a tattoo.

The pain was more like a pinching feeling at least for me.

Well I will enjoy my tattoo it is a constant reminder of the ever beautiful Nancy.

The DJ and the Troll...

2011-06-18T11:01:00.020-04:00

There was a DJ that loved his job playing music in his home town. The town knew the DJ as DJ Fly. DJ Fly woke up one morning ready to go play his music and have fun for the day. JD Fly arrived at the spot he was going to play, and started setting up his equipment boy was JD Fly excited he could not wait to play. DJ Fly was picking out some of his favorite songs thinking wow this is gonna be great, my greatest night ever. DJ Fly is now setup and people are starting to show up. Everything is going well for DJ Fly he is having a blast playing music for everyone. Unbeknownst to the DJ there was a set of eyes on him all night as he played. This little Troll was sitting over in one corner of the room watching JD Fly play. The Troll was moving around the room all night watching DJ Fly as the Troll believed she was in love. The Troll could not stop thinking of wedding bells, and seeing pink hearts float all around, every time she looked at DJ Fly. The DJ never knew he had such an admirer stocking him. The Troll had been stocking the JD for a while watching, and waiting for a chance to make her move. DJ Fly's eyes caught the Trolls eyes staring at him. The Troll made her move diving over the equipment, right on top of DJ Fly, knocking him over to the floor. The Troll Planted an Kiss right on DJ Fly's lips professing her love for him. The Troll Screamed out I love you, you will Marry me one day my LOVE!!! DJ Fly rose to his feet tossing the Troll across the room in a startled panic, running out the door screaming in a state of confusion never to be heard from again. Some think DJ Fly is in hiding from the Troll, while others believe the Troll caught DJ Fly forcing his hand in marriage to be chained up forever as her love.

practical blogging benefits

2011-04-29T16:27:00.000-04:00

So much with dallying, I told myself and took the time hopping around again to see what’s new and is up with fellow bloggers around.Like the usual it’s not a big surprise to see people leaving while others are still staying put. I don’t know why but I really feel sad seeing bloggers going away or watching pages that’s left un-updated. I mean I, myself, don’t post that frequent either but no matter how crazy my mood can get, I still can’t seem to give the thing up.

On the contrary, I sure know why a lot of people especially stay at home moms (SAHMs) still find it attractive. I’ll be real straight about it and that’s because blogging allows people to earn in a decent manner without leaving their home. To non-bloggers I know this sounds unthinkable but true there are generous groups and individuals out there we call legitimate advertisers that are spicing us up, bloggers. The catch is simple. Advertisers place their order for a product review. They gain exposure and we bloggers get paid. That’s how a paid blog reviews at Buy Blog Reviews work.

To newbies out there, I’m sure you’re also itching to learn how to make money blogging just like how I was when I first started but worry not… with Buy Blog Reviews, you can never go wrong. I’ve been making money too using their services for a long time now. Well not that much recently though but it still keeps me going at least.

Last weekend my car a "97 Chevy Malibu" was driving down the road and all of a sudden a loud pop and it shut off. We have babied this car for the last year. The motor seized and it was drifted into a pull off along the road, I was fortunate I had towing on my insurance. The Tow truck showed up hooked up and pulled the car home. This left me thinking I had one car now what do I do to get to work? Well I work with a friend that does not live far so Monday I had a way to work and home. I hate depending on others so I needed to get a new car was not expecting it but It was a definite must. So I had to adapt to my situation and buy another car even though I was hoping to avoid it. I ended up getting a decent deal on a newer Chevy Malibu.

dancing those belly fats away

2011-04-11T11:23:00.003-04:00

This year's summer season has got me so busy dawdling with bunch of kids around... I knew it! But not when it comes to doing my regular weight loss activities and this time I got a new addition to that routine of mine - the Latin's popular Zumba dance, LOL! Funny because I'm not really good at dancing but for the sake of my goal, I'm carrying it all out... besides, not like I have audience watching whenever I do. If they're just the girls and my younger sister who's into it too, I won't mind at all. In fact, the kids don't just watch... they get to irresistibly dance along with the music too. That makes it even more fun, huh.

So far, I have shredded a little over 20 pounds in just five months. Way more to go. And though I know I already have found the right workout routine for me, I still can't help but to keep on looking for other fat loss related activities that I may find interesting to do online - that includes effective Fat Burning Diet meal plan search to go with my workouts.

used car buying tips

2011-02-21T22:04:00.005-05:00

Buying of used car is often the alternative of those who badly need it but can't afford to get them self a brand new one for the time being. This is common in places like in the US where vehicle is a necessity for people to be able to conveniently move around on a daily basis. However, it also on this event where the 'look before you leap' idea applies. Beware of dealer scams!

For me there's nothing wrong of buying pre-owned vehicle from car market usa or from anywhere you intended to buy one for as long as one is paying for what their money is worth. Obviously I am talking about used cars that are in good shape and acceptable running condition.
Again, it may take a little more time to decide in purchasing used than the brand new ones but at the end of the day, it is your intelligent decision that counts. Buy with confidence and make sure to only deal with professional car dealers whom you trust enough to provide what you need on top of anything.

He was able to watch them put the car in the air to do the work on it. He said pappy the car go up no they have me car seat it was so cute. He was looking at the way good and bad shocks work as you can see in the one picture. He is getting so big from the first time I posted him here. Pappy had a great day out with Alex...

better treat it right

2011-01-28T00:59:00.006-05:00

To get infected with unwanted diseases is the very least thing one can expect to happen to his life. Who would want to suffer with any health condition anyway? No matter how minor it is, still it entails expenses.

However, sometimes we are too carefree to be aware that certain diseases can actually be transmitted through direct contact. Genital warts is one of those diseases. It is also one of the most common types of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

According to study, it takes several months to a year before a virus carrier may realize that he/she has HPV. Until he does, the infection remains hidden as signs and symptoms are often not visible. Among the common symptoms are itchiness and some clustered portion of skin in a cauliflower-like shape.

A lot of them say 'effective genital warts treatment' are available over the counter these days. But have you ever tried to stop and ponder if the drug you can get from those counters is the right one that you really need?

If anything, it is still recommended and safe to immediately see a doctor if fast genital warts relief is what you truly want!

I am so happy we made time to fit it in as we saw a lot of great things.

We started with a 40minute boat ride to the Island...

The resort goes right up the side of the mountain...

This is just a few of the photos we took at this beautiful resort. We staid 3 days and 2 nights at the resort. We had our own personal server who attended to our every need. We were pampered while there. We had such a great time. I would love to visit this place again in the future. If you want a relaxing time and at a fairly low cost you may want to try this resort if your in the Philippines. Great place after climbing to our round hut, we decided to go up another 205 steps to the cold spring jacuzzi and yes it was well worth the climb to the top. The jacuzzi is so beautiful and refreshing. The Beautiful Nancy made this trip so special and we had such a great time.

A wonderful Vacation for the two of us...

and we've made it!

2010-10-18T16:51:00.009-04:00

Hey there everyone! It's 4:53 am (19th) now here in my side of the world and with the help of this bar of Snickers and a bag of chips I am munching right now I am hoping I could stay awake till I get to see JK safely made it back to his home in Pennsylvania.

Yes, the long post interval here explains it all. We've made it! We've finally both had each other for the very first time in almost 3 long years and I really praise God for keeping us close together despite the distance until we made it.

We've shared 15 precious days together ( from Oct. 3, his arrival towards the 17th) exploring places here and there and I'm telling you that 1TB external hard drive he just gave me indeed helped us a lot in storing all the pictures we took. Even now, I still find it too overwhelming to look at them all. I can't believe we took as much as we've had.

But on top of that story of course JK and I were both so overjoyed to have experience all those awesome places we've been together and have made lots of fun and special memories for us to hold on to for we knew we still have long roads to travel to ahead of us.

It's kind of sad when I sent him back to the airport the other day. How I wish he didn't have to but hey with him leaving doesn't mean the end of the whole thing. We both believe there's more for us in the future and we will still both try to work for whatever we can to keep our relationship no matter how long it may take us and that's what we promised to each other before we parted ways.

Anyway, there's more to tell and lots of fun memories to share but for now I am more on looking forward to hear from him for the first time after he made it home. He should be on at any minute so I gotta be out here for now and hang on for the beautiful pictures we've got... that's up on our next post.

But wait.....

I just thought it won't be too much of a burden to pull out one pic before I go now, would it? So here it is...

Our boss took us out to a baseball game today, We all had a great time with free food and drinks. We were up in the suite section we had a real blast. The game was the PITTSBURGH PIRATES against ST LOUIS CARDINALS. The PIRATES lost the game 9 to 2 but atleast they managed to get 2 runs. This was the first baseball game I have been to and it was thanks to my boss. We all thanked him for his generosity and showing us that he appreciates us.

Cheap great tasting dinner...

2010-09-12T21:14:00.002-04:00

Our dinner today...

Potato Casserole

To make it is easy...

1. slice potatoes thick or thin.

2. slice onions (white, red, yellow, garden) may use one or all.

3. slice garlic a few cloves

4. slice a green pepper (can use any type of pepper you prefer.)

5. heat up your meat. (fried hamburger or ham)

6. mix a large can of mushroom soup with the meat. (may add milk or butter if you choose.)

7. Pick your favorite cheese (Cheddar, Longhorn, American, Swiss, Colby Jack, or your favorite.)

Spray the bottom of your pan with nonstick spray, and place a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of mixed chopped veggies, and add a layer of cheese(s) then your heated meat mix. Make another layer of potatoes and then do the same again with the veggies, cheese, and meat mix.

Place in an oven on 400 degrees for approximately one hour.

If you don't have an oven then cook the potatoes till soft, Mix your veggies with your meat to soften them, and then make your layers and heat till the entire dish is hot and the cheeses are melted...

2010-08-23T19:13:00.002-04:00

Baby Alex was playing and having a good time...

He was growling at his pappy and jumping around when

he bounced backwards playing, and hit his head on the heater...

All mommy and pappy seen was blood running down his poor little face...

We turned him over to look and he had blood rushing down the back of his head...

He let out one little yell then just sat there looking like what happened to me...

We rushed him to the EMERGENCY ROOM and he got a staple in his head...

At least he did not get a concussion from whacking his head to hard...

All part of being a growing boy with all the bumps and bruises...

extended car warranty shopping tips

2010-08-12T03:19:00.004-04:00

In shopping for extended car warranty it is important to evaluate extended warranty companies as they are sprouting in the market these days and you don't want to end up with one that cannot actually fulfill their promises and fails you when you need them the most.

In some cases, one major repair can cost more than the extended car warranty itself. This is where acquiring such coverage does make sense to many car owners.

But like getting any other coverages, be sure to only deal with the company that has been in business for years and has proven customer track records. A reliable warranty company will explain their coverage in full details and not just tell some vague promises as well as provide hard copy of their terms and conditions so the buyer will know exactly the coverage that he will be paying for.

Having all these tips considered along with other you have gathered from reliable car advisors, I'm sure you won't be disappointed in getting your next coverage!

Alex 2nd Birthday.... (8/5)

2010-08-07T23:28:00.001-04:00

This is Alex's 2nd Birthday party...

just a thought...

2010-08-07T22:48:00.003-04:00

Looks like this page of ours is slowly turning into a photo blog with all the nice pictures posted in here. Just thought conducting a poll for best captured moments would be a great idea. It's not far possible to happen since I knew a lot of people who frequent here are also fond of sporting their pictures on their respective pages. Hmm, how nice it will be to gather all those beautifully taken pics in one place while inviting the people around to pick their best bet. Don't you think that's a cool idea?

Well, I need to consult my partner on that. And with the right Online Voting System available from the web, that shouldn't take us long to figure it out.

Moth at work just hanging around...

2010-07-30T21:31:00.002-04:00

Does any one know the actual scientific name for this little guy...

make the air that you breath counts

2010-07-27T23:05:00.003-04:00

The kind of air that we breathe can be the very least thing we can care for even in our not so busy lives each day. As long as we are fine and we don't get sick then life is just supposed to be okay.

But to families with allergy sufferers, the air that they breathe is just as important as the life of their loved ones and Better Health Innovations understands it that's why they've created IQAir home purifying systems that prevent you from inhaling polluted air brought by cigarette smoke and other elements that can cause air contamination.

IQAir Purifier is an investment for good health and unlike many other brand, IQAir air cleaners produce absolutely no ozone, charged particles, or chemicals. It captures 99.5% of viruses, bacteria and pet allergens and a very minimal maintenance requirement - that's to name a few of its special features. Head on to their website now to get to know more about IQAir products!

2010-04-23T20:28:00.005-04:00

Everyone knows Alex one of the favorite celebrities here on this page. Alex is almost two now he is talking and so cute. If he wants a drink he brings his sippy cup and hands it to you and follows you to the fridge. When Alex get his long waited drink he says thank you. He is so cute with the manners already. I feel kids are never to young to learn manners. We had a nice dinner and Alex ate allot and thought he was full even finished a sippy cup. My daughter was sitting at the table doing her finger nails. Alex was playing. One of my daughters friends called her attention and she looked away for a few seconds when it happened. Alex grabbed the nail polish remover and started drinking before anyone could grab him. I heard Alex let out a scream and seen him vomit across the table several times. I grabbed Alex up and ran him to the car and rushed him a couple blocks away to the emergency room. I was so scared that the acetone in the nail polish remover would cause sever damage. The hospital had poison control on the phone really fast. Since he had puked up what he had in his belly Poison control suggested plenty of fluids to flush his system. the doctors gave Alex a chest x-ray and plenty of fluids. Wow did he toss a scare into us. They felt he was OK to send home with a follow up visit to his doctor the next day. Pappy took Alex to the doctor we are so lucky he has no irreversible damages. We only looked away for seconds and this was the out come. Kids are so fast and bad things happen in a split second. Your not a bad parent it something happens sometimes its out of our hands. The only way your a bad parent is if you don't handle it in a responsible way.

What if we did not pay??

2010-04-08T19:09:00.006-04:00

What if Everyone in the world did not pay any bills for a solid month?? How would it affect the worlds economy?? Would the impact vary from country to country?? Would the worlds infrastructural crumble and collapse?? Would it have an impact at all?? Just passing thoughts to ponder on... Whats your opinion?? What do you think would happen if everyone just stopped paying bills for a month?? The utility companies like taking advantage of all of us so I wonder how it would affect their profit margins if everyone refused to pay them for a month or maybe even two...

what's in my to-do list for the day...

2010-04-05T23:34:00.007-04:00

Hi, how's everyone doing here? Wish you all had a great Easter celebration. Mine was just celebrated peacefully at home with my family. It just feels good to free your mind from all the stress once in a while. But we should also not forget to go back to the reality because we are all bound to face it whether we like it or not.

And yes, I am fully back now as well and to start of, I have few things in my to-do list for the day. So far I already have done the most important one - cleaning my system registry up with my trusted Windows 7 Registry Cleaner. It was quite a long process that took me few hours of waiting but it's all worth the wait. Now I have my PC running smoothly back again. Next thing in line is to accomplish the rest of my pending tasks from last week. There's still a couple of them. Hope to get them all done early this afternoon so I can still do my gift shopping for my birthday girl tomorrow. Until next time!

2010-04-04T09:55:00.005-04:00

Happy Easter To ALL

Jesus is the true reason to celebrate Easter as he has saved us...

But I feel if dont hurt to let the kids Enjoy the Easter bunny either...

More from Ohiopyle...

2010-04-03T19:58:00.004-04:00

We visited Ohiopyle today...

We had lots of fun ...

As you can see all the snow from a few weeks ago disappeared...

The Pictures below are from only a few weeks ago...

All the snow has melted as you can see...

well I wanted to share the beautiful scenery...

summer' here!

2010-03-30T07:23:00.004-04:00

It's officially summer time now here in the Philippines. Sun is at its hottest during the day an air at its warmest during the night. Even for a not so outgoing type like me, I still can feel the heat. But I'm lucky to have a personal bathroom just right next to my bedroom so taking a bath or shower doesn't have to be that inconvenient. Plus, I have my designer brand fragrances too that I make sure to wear after every bath so I smell fresh till I need to turn on that shower knob again.

A vision of beauty...

2010-03-28T14:50:00.002-04:00

She is always such a vision of beauty.

Seeing her tends to bring warmth in to the heart.

You as my seasons...

2010-03-27T00:23:00.004-04:00

You as my seasons

Loving you is like the four seasons.

When you're smiling it is like a midsummer day all sunny and warm makes a person feel so happy.

When you sit and stare so blank it is like a boring and glumly fall day makes for a draining day.

When you're so sad and crying with a frown it is like rainy spring day a shower or thunderstorm.

When you're angry and mad it is like a winter storm the madder you are the more snow that falls.

All four seasons have their own beauty so do you in all four of your seasons.

I love all four seasons as I love you through all your four seasons.

You remind me of like a beautiful flower in its full life cycle.

In the spring you start to grow and bloom in to such a beautiful display.

In the summer you're in full bloom so beautiful and pristine.

In the fall you're starting to wither a bit and your petals are no longer in full bloom.

In the winter your petals have all gone away and you're cold as ice looking forward to spring soon.

Win or Lose

2010-03-21T17:03:00.003-04:00

We all have a path in which to follow. But at times the path splits off in to different directions. The direction we choose to head makes or breaks us in life. Sometimes we emerge in victory to be the winner, and yet other times we are the loser. Life is a series of wins and loses. Sometimes a winning hand is not the winning hand we think it is. Sometimes we get what we want and feel it is a great victory and we are so far from the truth because we actually lost in the end. Sometimes we feel we lose because we did not get what we want, and we are so far from the truth because we have actually won. Getting all we want at the moment we want it does not make us winners because we could be losing out on so much more. Not getting all we want does not make us losers because if we are meant to have it it will come in time and may have a better out come. These are only my thoughts and opinions you may agree or disagree. Life is what it is, and we should try to live life the best we can every day win or lose. Life will always be a daily battle in which we shall emerge from (WIN or LOSE). This is at home, work, and everywhere else we may tread.

dNeero's surprising comeback

2010-03-19T03:29:00.001-04:00

Check out what's new with them!

I dont often like wearing cologne..

2010-03-13T00:14:00.005-05:00

I cant stand the smell of a lot of colognes.

Most colognes seem to be very strong smelling.

I have found one that I have liked since I was a teenager.

I believe Brut has a very pleasant smell.

Not overwhelming like many other colognes on the market.

Most colognes make me sneeze, Brut is one that doesn't make me sneeze.

Kids meals make a great treat.

2010-03-07T15:11:00.007-05:00

Baby Alex loves his chicken nuggets and potato fries.

Yummy nugget and a nice cup of milk to wash it down.
Yummy fries to go with my chicken nuggets...

Mmmmmm... More fries...

Then after dinner he can play with the little toy that comes with it.

We buy Alex a happy meal every so often it is a special treat for him.

I don't like giving children lots of pop (soda) because is not so healthy.

To much pop (soda) can be harmful to children in many ways.

So as you can see we give him milk instead.

Milk is a healthier drink for children.

Children need a nice change every so often...

I wish soon and pray for the best...

2010-03-04T19:23:00.007-05:00

I am here sitting alone once again. The last few days I been sitting here wondering hows Nancy hope things are OK and praying for the best out come. Nancy has been away because her poor little niece is in the hospital not feeling very well. I have called her a few times. I spoke to her a little while ago and seems her niece is doing some better. I miss seeing her beautiful face on the screen while she sits here with me. I honestly don't know why but most of the time when she is around I have a calmness come over me. We have our fantastic day together where it can't seem to be any better, and we have our days in which we disagree, but it is what makes us so real. We share our true feelings with each other. Well I can't wait for her to be back and I pray her niece has a full and fast recovery. All her nieces and her daughters are little sweethearts they are so adorable.
