OK I POSTED THIS BLOG ON MY BUSINESS WEBSITE & I WAS COMPELLED TO SEE WHAT THE FOX BLOGGERS THOUGHT OF THIS, WHICH I DEEM ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

 THE STORY IS NOW IS BEING REPORTED THAT THE NATIONAL SPORTS SHOW CONVENTION WANTS TO PAY INFAMOUS CUB FAN STEVE BARTMAN $25,000 TO SHOW UP AT A SPORTS SHOW & SIGN JUST ONE AUTOGRAPH.  REMEMBER BARTMAN FROM THE 2003 PLAYOFFS THAT LEANED OVER TO CATCH THE FOUL BALL.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE LEAVE THE POOR GUY ALONE, BARTMAN WHO APPARENTLY HAS BEEN IN SECLUSION THE LAST 5 YEARS HAS DECLINED A STORY, INTERVIEWS & EVERYTHING MEDIA RELATED. WHY TORMENT THIS GENTLEMAN, LEAVE HIM ALONE. LET THE CUBS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST, CHOKE, THEY DO NOT NEED STEVE BARTMANS ASSISTANCE.   WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HIS INCIDENT, WE HAVE OVER 100 YEARS OF PAST TRACK RECORDS & HISTORY WITH THE CUBS BAD LUCK & CHOKING. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS TO DIG A SKELETON OUT OF THE CLOSET & THEN OFFER HIM MONEY$$$

WHATS NEXT?   CHARLES MANSON THROWING OUT THE FIRST PITCH AT A DODGERS GAME? LOL

WELL, ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE POSTED, I MISSED THE BLOG-B QUE,  BUT IN TALKING TO JANA, WHO HAS BECOME MY BEST FRIEND SHE SAID IS WAS A BLAST.

TODAY IS OUR 10 YEAR WEDDING ANNV. & I AM A LUCKY

JULY 14, 2008  

 I CANNOT BELIEVE ITS BEEN 10 YEARS. I CANNOT BEGIN TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME & US.

 I COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER FRIEND, COMPANION OR WIFE. YOU TRULY ARE  MY CANDLE IN THE WIND.   YOU HAVE HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE, YOU ALWAYS PUT ME FIRST BEFORE YOURSELF, YOU HAVE SUCH A GOOD HEART & THE GRACE OF GOD IS ON OUR SIDE,  YOU HAVE MADE BE A STRONGER & BETTER PERSON, YOU MEAN MORE TO ME THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW.  

NO ONE COULD EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE. YOU HAVE MADE SO MANY SACRFICES FOR US, YOU HAVE BECOME SO STRONG & YOUR HEART IS BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, I TRULY LOVE YOU FROM THE HEART, & YOU ARE MY WHOLE LIFE. YOU ARE THE  BEST FRIEND I HAVE EVER HAD.  

AS I MY EYES TEAR UP, THANK YOU FOR THE FIRST 10 YEARS OF MANY.    

I LOVE YOU DEBBY  

 GOD BLESS US BOTH 

 LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER:    

 ROB........

DEBBY & I GOT BACK FROM LAS VEGAS LAST WEEK.  WELL WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TWO DAYS, I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW WE HAVE 2 FEMALE DOGS AN 11 YEAR OLD CHIUAUAIUA, AND A 12 YEAR OLD YORKIE. THEY WERE SIDE BY SIDE FOR 10 YEARS.  WHILE WE WERE GONE THE YORKIE FELL ILL, AND BEGAN VOMITTING & APPEARED TO HAVE LOST WEIGHT.

WELL YESTERDAY DEB TOOK HER TO THE VET & SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TERMINAL KIDNEY DISEASE, AND WAS SUFFERING INSIDE INTERNALLY EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS QUITE PLAYFUL & SPRY.  THE VET HAD SAID HE DID NOT SEE HER MAKING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

SO AFTER MUCH DEBATE LAST NIGHT & TODAY, WE HADE HER EUTHANIZED.  ONE OF THE HARDER THINGS I HAVE HAD TO DO.  I HAVE NOT CRIED LIKE THIS IN LONG TIME, AND DEBBY IS TAKING THIS VERY HARD.

SO PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR THOUGHTS TONIGHT.

AS ALWAYS BLESSINGS

  I HAVE ENJOYED BEING ABLE TO BLOG, I LOVE PUTTING MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS DOWN!

TO THOSE OF YOU THAT I HAVE CHATTED WITH OR I HAVE NOT.  I HAVE SPENT PROBABLY THE LAST YEAR OF MY LIFE REALLY FOCUSED & HAVE REALLY PUT MY FAITH & FATE IN  GODS HANDS. 

WE ALL HAVE OUR DIFFERENT VIEWS AND BELIEFS ON GOD.  I AM  BELIEVER.

AS HUMANS WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE QUESTIONS, TO WHY THINGS HAPPEN THE WAY THEY DO,  AS TIME HAS GONE ON I HAVE BECOME MORE OF A BELIEVER THAT ALL THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON, PARTICULALRLY WHO HAS WALKED IN AND OUT OF MY LIFE AND WHY PATHS HAVE CROSSED, AND IF THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE, THAT THEY WILL HAPPEN REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION.

ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN, EACH DAY IS A GIFT. AND HOPEFULLY WHEN THOSE GIFTS GET OPENED, THERE WILL BE A SURPRISE OF FAITH AND FATE WAITING.

AS ALWAYS BLESSINGS:

R......

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, I LIKE TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL,AND SOMETIMES I LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT IT. HOWEVER UNLIKE WEATHER, SPORTS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT INTERESTS ME, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS MY FAITH AND FATE.

FOR THOSE THAT DO KNOW OR DO NOT KNOW, I HAVE A FIRM BELIEF IN THE LORD, AS WITHOUT THE GRACE OF GOD, I WOULD NOT BE A STRONG MAN. AS  YOU KNOW SOMETIMES IN LIFE, YOU NEED FRIENDS, YOU NEED FAMILY, AND GUIDANCE, HOPEFULLY WHATEVER YOUR FAITH OR BELIEFS MAY BE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I REALLY BELIEVE ALL THINGS HAPPEN FOR REASONS, WHAT YOU DO, WHO YOU TALK  WITH, WHO YOU MEET, AND WHY THINGS  HAPPEN.   IN A NUTSHELL, I BELIEVE IF YOU ALLOW YOUR LIFE TO BE GUIDED,  GUIDANCE WILL BE GIVEN.   TO ME THIS IS WHAT FAITH AND FATE ARE ALL ABOUT!!!

AS ALWAYS BLESSINGS

P.S.  CASEY I TRULY LOVE YOU!!!
