Photo: Four men in a small community did their duty on a cold winter morning. Two of them didn't go home, and the other two nearly met the same fate. One man bleeding and frightened calmly summoned help. An off-duty police officer on his way to work kept innocents from the line of fire. Another police officer returned fire, possibly saving even more. Dispatchers, EMTs, paramedics, police officers and firefighters put their feelings, emotions and fears aside and did their jobs, evacuating citizens, fighting the fire, and held the line despite witnessing the cost. That day, and every day and night since, we put our boots on the same way as always when we leave for work, but we hug our kids a little tighter, kiss our wives and husbands a little longer, and when we pull out of our drive, we pause to look at our home and wonder if we will be back after our shift. We do our duty, because our brother's bodies might have been killed, but their spirit lives on stronger than ever. We do what we do because it is both a blessing and a curse to be able to do it. We share in the triumphs of our jobs as surely as we share in the burdens of them. Our bodies and our spirits bear the scars along with the joys equally bestowed upon us by what we bear witness to in the service of others. We were reminded that we are not safe. No matter who or where we are, there are people who wish us harm. We are forever changed. Thousands of our brothers and sisters silently stood in the falling snow to pay their respects to our fallen. They came from our town, our county, and from across our state and country. They came to show that the sacrifices we may be called to make are not done in vain. That those we might leave behind will never be left alone. To show that we might be bloodied, but we remain unbroken. They stood there on a cold winter night to show the community what strength really means. On this night, we put aside our differences. There were no volunteers, no paid, no EMTs, no Paramedics. No police, no unions. No privates, no commercials. No animosity or jealousy. Tonight there were only brothers and sisters, standing strong, proud and determined. While we shed tears of pain and sorrow, we also drew strength from one another. We will continue to do our duty because it is who and what we are. And we know that we are never alone. - NS

Folding and ornament packing tips



I must say I love watching the Home and Family show I learn so much from it, it's on the Hallmark channel from 10-12. The other day a girl came on to show us how to fold clothes the new way. At my age I'm thinking ok I've done it for years , but I am always up for learning something new. She took the shirts folded the sleeves to the back , the folded the back down the spine lengthwise down the shirt fold three times. Also I learned that tee shirts were made to stand on their side . This way leaves more space in the drawers or on the shelf to add more things.  She said that it's like a store display and everyone loves shopping and picking out clothes. I did it the other day with my daughters clothes and was amazed. Looks great and there is so much more room. Also learned that there are bra boxes that fit into your dresser drawers you find them at bed bath and beyond.

I found a video hopefully it works , that they had on the show on how to pack away your Christmas ornaments. I am finding including myself, people don't really want to take down their trees right away this year. Mine is real and still looks great, I'm thinking of taking the ornaments off and hanging hearts on it.


I couldn't send you the video but I can send you the link....I just end end tossing everything into a box and this girl is very organized in how she does her packing..take a peek.

Happy New Year!












Happy New Year!!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year Eve and that the beginning of this year is going very well for you.

We stayed home, had our favorite foods, watched fun movies and then watched with anticipation as the  countdown began and the new year was about to happen.
And with the clinking of glasses, promises of a wonderful beginning to yet another new and prosperous year.
I don’t call mine resolutions I like to think of them as goals. Some of the goals are the same just continuations of the last goals that I am still working on. Weight loss is a continuing goal and everyone has their own goals for the new -year, I love new beginnings so New Years is one of my favorites and then again in the spring I feel I need to set new goals because of course then it is nice out and the weather change is another new beginning.

Whatever your new years goals, plans or resolutions or what-ever you may call them, have fun and have a wonderful new year, Happy 2013.
