The NIGH****CHMAN - Sunday 9/20
Speaking of football, my JETS beat the Patriots, so that was good news for me.
Yesterday's busy day went well. I had to mutter three words I hate to use together... "Good game Cowboys." My grandson plays flag football and his team is named the Cowboys. We told him we would still cheer for him, but we may draw the line if he ever plays for a baseball team named the Yankees.
It was a good weekend overall.
Just so you know folks, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

OMG....our new puppy is soooo adorable! He is absolutely the darkest black I have EVER seen...where he is black, and the white areas are still turning white from their initial light brownish color. He is such a sweet boy. So far whenever I've taken him outside, he's done his "thing" and back inside he goes! Tonight he went right into his crate without even so much as a whimper. I'm sure he'll get up again so we'll see. He whimpered on the way home so I got ahold of him and he just snuggled up by my neck. After he stopped shaking and started to calm down, I gave him to Viktoria. Sarah got to hold onto him too so she was all happy. Now Heather, well, she really didn't want this little guy to begin with and she IS doing better, buuut, it didn't start off well as he kinda tinkled on her a tad when we picked him up. She didn't seem to care (see, I'm hoping that's the nurse mentality already kicking in!!!) though so it was ok. Tonight she played with him as did everyone else, thus, he's sound asleep in his kennel!
Hoping the rest of the evening is nice and quiet!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Hi George;
I've had a wonderful weekend. I didn't realize how tightly wound I was and it was great to come up and hang with good friends and family and just be. I'm so thankful for my mom and step-dad taking care of the doggies for us.
We had a showing yesterday afternoon and another scheduled for tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow, I'll get up early and take Michael to DFW for his flight to ATL. Then, I'll come back, dress, go to Kinko's to print my new resume and cover letter and hand deliver it to Saks @ the Galleria. After I deliver that, I'll be headed back south for the week.
Have a good evening. Prayers for all who need them.

If I were lying, wouldn't my pants be on fire?!?
Pretty good weekend here. Disappointment with both the Rangers and the Cowboys...... sigh. Don't know what to say about either... other than it's going to be difficulit getting up in the morning! Guess I'd better be hitting the pillows soon! Prayers going out to Jill and her family on the new puppy addition. Hoping you have a peaceful night..
Prayers going out for the spoken and unspoken requests. Special healing prayers for Phyllis, hoping you are ok.
Blessings to all,
Avis
Blessings to all.
I knew Brandon only by name from some car parts purchases I did from him in the past on Ebay.
Shortlyt before Labor Day weekend, I had emailed Brandon about the status of a part I had bought but not yet received from him. The delay was very unusual for him. I was surprised to get this long, detailed email in response from someone I barely knew, informing me that the delay was due to his recently learning his daughter out on the East Coast had developed brain cancer, and that he had been traveling out there and back and forth to be with her at the hospital. He apologized for the delay in shipment , and I had meant to write back to him "no problem" and that I understood and would be praying for them both, but I got too busy with other things and didn't do it at the time.
I sent another inquiry a few days later to see how things were going with Brandon and his daughter, and got a response instead from "Lou", who turned out to be Brandon's brother. I was stunned to find out that he was temporarily handling things for his bother, who apparently had gotten injured in a bad auto collision later than weekend. It turns out that while driving out to the coast to be with his daughter, Brandon wa**** head-on by another driver who was high on methamphetamine. The other driver was killed, and Brandon was in the hospital with serious injuries, including a very bad one to his leg.
The latest email I received from Lou let me know that the following day while in the hospital his brother suffered a heart attack, and was in ICU (not uncommon for trauma patients in a hospital, unforunately)!
It seems Brandon is recovering, slowly but surely, and no word yet on the status of his daughter, from Lou.
Please keep this family in your prayers .. Thanks guys ..
