A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

We all lose loved ones, the pain never goes away that is for sure. I try to remember my loved ones with the best of them in my heart. The people that died on 9/11 were strangers to me in their lives, but became a part of me in their deaths.

The first blush of dawn
brings with it hope.
Taking away the darkness,
and into the light of a new day.

I can not help it out, I am very allergic to cats., my grand children are allergic to cats and I do not know of anyone to call. We do not have animal shelters around here. where is anonamousaz when you need her

Let me take you on a journey
Come on along with me,
There will be forks in the road
And many hills to climb,
Every once in a while we will see
A glimpse of what is to be,
We are on our way one step at a time
Though we are weary, onward we go,
It's hard to walk alone,I'm glad you came,
When finally we get where we are going
At last we made it together to see the beauty
That is there for us at our journey's end.

Having my second cup of coffee, the first one did not wake me up. Sitting here listening to some distant thunder, hope it comes this way.Weatherman says not, so I have a 50/50 chance of getting rain.

Today I have to decide what to do with the quarter bushel of tomatoes that I peeled and cut up yesterday.What ever I decide to do is work and going to cost  some money. it will be stewed tomatoes or veggie soup stock.

 I helped young great niece set up her Skype yesterday. She is going to a college about twenty miles from here and is away from her family.She got it figured out, now she will not be so lonesome for home. She will get to know this part of the family if she can handle our kookiness and I think she can.
