Want to be Rich? Be a money lover.
People often call me moneylover. a big community learned to think that money loving is a hatefull thing. they often think that money lover is a person like draculla, Drinking the Human blood, money lovers has no feelings, they don’t like to help others, they only want to get money out of others pocket.
The truth is differ from this so called famous thinking. money lover is a person, who love money, love money making tricks, love to serve contry & all people over the world, love his freedom, freedom to do anything what he wants to do.
Expecting a Granddaughter
Today I’m not reviewing anything but am writing about how happy I feel about expecting my first granddaughter. The baby is due on May the 20th so it’s getting really close to time for her birthday. Our family has a lot of birthdays to celebrate in the month of May. This will be a wonderful addition.
Her name will be Cecilia Marie and she will be called Ceci. Her Daddy is my second oldest son who is a teacher. Her Mom has the same name I do, Susan. This is their first child and it’s my second grandchild. I have a grandson who is eleven.
Grandchildren are so very special. My grandson has been such a wonderful part of my life. I’m expecting my new granddaughter to be like a gift from heaven. It was so much fun planning a baby shower for her and selecting lots of pretty pink items.
I raised three sons and one daughter so am very pleased to be getting another girl in our family. This new little baby girl will be dearly loved by her grandparents, parents, aunt and uncles. I hope she will always feel that love as she is growing up.
I’m very anxious to meet my granddaughter, Cecilia.
Grahanam
I was searching in the Google Video for the recent award winning short film “Sira” – “Ink” in English. I was unable to find it, but accidentally I found another short film “Grahanam.” In the past, I searched for that movie, but was unable to find it and forgot. I downloaded the movie from Google Video with the help of Video Downloader Firefox extension.
Read review of Grahanam here. You can also read more about Sira here.
Now, watch the movie “Grahanam”
Trees and Ice
On January 12th we had a terrible ice storm here in Missouri. In our whole area, most trees were badly damaged from the ice. It’s very sad to take a drive and see all the broken limbs. Now and then you see a whole tree that came down.
In our yard we have three large shade trees and a very large pine tree that are severely damaged and have to be chopped down at a considerable expense. There are very large limbs all over the yard and our home suffered some damage as well.
We built our home in the early ’70’s. I planted all the trees. It breaks my heart to look outside and see this mess and know that we will soon be without so many trees. We will only have one large shade tree left. It will have to be pruned a lot because of all the jagged breaks.
The large pine tree was planted 33 years ago when my oldest son brought home a sappling from school on Arbor Day. I have spent a lot of time thinking about that occassion and all the times I’ve picked up pine cones and used them for crafts. I also used the pine needles to mulch a flower bed.
I have seen a number of bad ice storms in the many years that I have lived here but have never seen so much damage to trees. Our house can be repaired but nothing will ever replace these treasured old trees.
Christmas is Over
Christmas is Over
Christmas 2006 was a wonderful event at my house. Three of my four children and their families came home for the holiday. Our home was filled for three days as we ate, visited, watched movies, ate, opened gifts, ate, played games and ate some more.
My daughter was the last to leave this morning and the house seems very quiet since she has been gone. I’m so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open but I have lots of memories of the past three days to savor for the rest of my life.
I’m sad that my oldest son and his wife are so far away and weren’t able to make the festivities this year but I did enjoy the rest of the family. Everyone was in a good humor and I think everyone appreciated the gifts they recieved. My most precious gift was that of being loved by those I love.
Christmas Memories
I’ve been thinking about some of the past Christmases that I have experienced as I prepare for this coming Christmas. I have some very good memories that I will always treasure. My favorite Christmas of all was in the fifties when my dad returned from the war in Korea on Christmas Eve, just in time to go to midnight mass with us. I was so glad to see him.
Another Christmas that I remember well is the year my brother recieved a Lionel Train set for his gift. My dad built a large table for it in a room attached to our garage. We were all so excited to watch the train go around that track. As I recall though, none of us was allowed to operate the train. That was disappointing. It was still a wonderful gift that we all enjoyed even though it was for my brother.
I also felt really good about the Christmas when I recieved my first watch. It seemed like some kind of passage for me to recieve a watch…….as though I was on my way to adulthood. I was actually around 12 years old.
As a mother these past 39 years I have enjoyed every Christmas watching my children open their gifts one by one and seeing the happiness on their faces. In the past 11 years, it has been exciting to watch my only grandson open his gifts. He is always so excited and appreciates his new toys.
In 1990 my father passed away on December 23rd. I always have some very sad feelings on this day even after all these years. I was a real Daddy’s girl when I was a child. As a young woman I went through a period of intense anger toward him because he was an alcoholic. When I got older, I realized he had really difficult problems with depression and anxiety, as well as some anger issues. I know now that he was ill and I have forgiven him for the pain he often caused members of the family. I loved him so much…..he was my Daddy!
My brother David and I have already celebrated together sharing gifts and dinner. We had a wonderful time visiting and being silly. We finished some last minute Christmas shopping together and it felt really good. I have the best brother in the world.
In a few days my family will all be together again to celebrate and share the joys of Christmas. I hope you all enjoy December 25th, whether or not you believe in Christmas.
Blood Diamonds
My Husband and I go to the theater every weekend to see a new movie. Yesterday we saw the new Movie, Blood Diamonds. It stars Leonardo Decaprio. I can see why Leonardo has been nominated for a best actor award by the Golden Globes. He did a terrific job. The whole movie was excellent.
I’m wondering if this movie will have any effect on the sales of diamonds. It was so very sad how many people profit from the pain of others in the diamond industry. I can’t imagine women giving up their diamond rings and other jewelry though. Women have decreased their use of real fur so you never know what can happen.
