Flaming June's Love

Yeah its only preseason but I must say there were four fights and a split head tonight, can I be honest I LOVE IT!! The more testosterone filled hockey fights the more I love it. We had amazing seats and could hear the players grunting and groaning as they bashed into the glass. Awesome. I went to the game with Allie and had a few beers and really chilled out and had a great time. She is fun and I loved it. Tickets to preseason 45dollars dinner before the game 30 bucks three beers in plastic cups 18 dollars blood on the ice.... priceless... Yehaaw Im barbaric but these guys show up to fight, they love to fight and yes I love to watch them bash each others faces to bits on the ice. Okay so I dont want bits of faces on the ice but a few punches here and there too cool. By the way we lost... LOL Second commentary tonight is the HOCKEY MOM FROM ALASKA!!! I wanted to like her really I did. I wanted to be excited for the prospect of another great woman in politics following Hilla...

We used to watch this movie during the Christmas season and wait for it. It was during a time when a program was on just once during the holidays so you had to be aware of when it was going to be on and NOT MISS IT. On Christmas eve we would sit about the tube and watch Emmet Otter s Jugband Christmas. So darn cute. Now I found it on Youtube and the words are so telling. I never heard that before. I am glad I refound Emmett, He is a safe and happy place to visit. Another thought while I am here tonight, the tv fireplace. Yeah the YULE LOG!!! Channel 9 WOR-TV!!!! Shit that was a true sign of CHristmas eve. If the yule log was on it was time to celebrate. ANd SOB If it wasnt on for the entire holiday eve and day at 122. OH its all good. I guess you can tell I am starting the thoughts of Christmas, New house new CHristmas. Love to all.

I was wandering about Barnes and Noble last year at about this time and found the book by Tim Russert, Wisdom of Our Fathers. I purchased it and have enjoyed it periodically throughout the year. When sadly he passed away suddenly around Easter I was so happy I had gotten the book prior to the loss and felt almost "extra wise" for finding it when I had. The book is a collection of stories sent to Tim about peoples fathers and the stories that sustain them after death, illness, separation. I go back to some of the same stories because they bring me some peace. Others feel the same and that is a comfort I guess. One story in particular hits home with me when I read it and does bring a chuckle along with a few tears. It is the recollection of a family or moreso the daughter after caring for the dad for many years and he wasnt able to go anywhere she would return home in the afternoon and recount her travels and the people she saw and really what she learned that day. The j...

Puddles and a tree that I have watched change from bare in the winter to spring sprouts, summer leaves of green and now I see the beginning of fall. I think I love this tree.

This boy and I went to the park at about 5 this afternoon. It rained a bit here today and poured last night so puddles were an idea but not a true threat!!! As you cans ee my boy found all the puddles and the "biggaaabeooyssz" that were playing basketball loved watching him and laughed as he stomped, splashed, and ran through every puddle in the park. He kept telling me to sit down mommy in the chair so I think he thought I was going to stop him but you know what, I wasnt going to stop him I loved him pouncing and splashing and happy. When we got home he snuggled up with Daddy and I got a few pics of the two of them. Jack is a beautiful child I know. My girls are welln well they are good, Missi has a terrible cold and ALlie is hanging with her bud Jackie tonight. She called the other night and sounded a little sad asking for lasagna, "like the old" days. So I made her a tray and she ate it up/. I love that kid. Andy is out tonight and I am glad. He is cu...

First off if you didnt know Eric Clapton is my all time favorite GUY. I love his music, I love his life story, his courage, what he represents to so many... Just an all around normal, yet amazing guy. I found this clip of a blues festival put together by Eric to benefit his addictions center. Love him and all of it. This clip is awesome if you have the ten or so minutes to give it. Just plop yourself in the middle of this event and escape for a few minutes like I did. The next thing I got for you guys is a message from my Dad. Yeah here is the story. We were sitting on the back deck at the mountain house and as we were just chattin away a huge feather fell and landed right in my chair. I had just gotten up to check on Jack and felt something brush my shoulder but I thought it was a bug. I went to sit back down and there it was. OK so how is this message from my Dad. Hmmm.... Because I want it to be... What does it mean? Anything I want. We went to a clairvoyant a day later ...
