Millbrook Road Fire

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:35:11 -0400

WRAL's Sky 5 helicopter crew filmed some amazing footage of the battle the Raleigh Fire Dept. fought yesterday. Sadly, the story ends in tragedy and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the person who died. But my heart bursts with pride at the efforts made by the firemen!! Especially the man on the roof with the chainsaw. .... He makes me proud to call him my cousin!

What to do? What to do?

For the past two years, we have worked our buns off building a house. Two summers of no travelling and little vacation b/c there was just too much work to do. When I had a rare day off, there was always something that needed doing with the kids or just catching up on those tasks that were left on a wayside.

I'm BACK!

Wow! What a ride. I thought we were busy with building a house. I had NO IDEA what was in store once we finally moved.

I'm a live and let live kind of person. I have no problems with most creatures and certainly none with those creatures in their own environment. Sure, I draw the line when they enter into "my" realm. But I hold no angst against them. It's nothing personal. I respect their role in the environment, just not mine!

Welcome Home Rocknhorse Family!

We're here!! At long last, we have finally stayed in the new house for 2 nights.

What?!!?

My July 4th Week

I just love Lake Gaston. My husband's family has owned a place there since the late 1960s. They have been going every summer and I've been joining them since we started dating in '85. Over the course of time, it's been a place for fun, laughter, family, relaxation and occassionally a refuge from "life" in general.

So THIS is how to relax!!

EDIT: This is a repost! With the wake today and funeral tomorrow, my family and I have been recalling stories and happy memories. I thought I'd share this again. END EDIT!

Goodbye

Beauty cannot be measured by physical attributes. To do so, you miss the true beauty that comes from within.
