Halloween Love

I hope all of you out there have a wonderful day and a scream-filled night. Life is good, especially with chocolate candy. Mmmmmmm! And what's even better???? Free chocolate candy! Mmmmmmm mmmmmmm!

Anyways, I'd like to remember two guys who made Halloween more rememberable....

Grandpa....thank you for the love, the fishing trips and the orange and brown bike. I didn't appreciate how much Cleveland Rocks until I was older, but you began the Browns Backer legacy back in the day. I hope your journey and departure will inspire others to stop smoking or never start. To have you fade away with such pain was hard, but at least there was bliss at the end of the tunnel. Love you.

Benji....what more can I say....yo te amo.

Stay sweet 'n smile............................Mz.

It's Been

Hello everyone.

I'm been gone awhile. I've been busy with life. I've got so many new things going. Here's the update.....

The job is going good. I love working with kids. I hope when they move on with their lives, that they remember some of the conversations we have had. There are some really great kids out there that need the support of their communities. I hope I can continue to do that no matter where I am.

Volunteer work......I'm doing alot of it with my job. I got the kids involved with raising money for breast cancer this month by collecting pink Yoplait lids in our community. Hopefully, our small contribution will make a difference in someone's life.

I am also working on a Hunger Banquet. I am teaching a class on hunger, homelessness and poverty in November. My students will be hosting the dinner. My personal goal is to raise $1,000, but more importantly, I hope to have a lasting effect on the attendees and especially the students.

I have been dealing with on ongoing problem. Most of my friends live far from me or have left the area and moved on. The few that are left have been busy with their own lives. Thank goodness Kel is still there even though she is 1,000 miles away. What would I do if I didn't have my best friend there??? I don't even want to think about it. Anyways, I have been gone from Buckeye Land for 8 years. I had good reason then, but now, I don't. So, unless a major life altering experience happens that keeps me in Too Cold, I'll be traveling back to the State of the Almighty Cedar Point for an extended stay. My family and friend seem pretty happy about that too. So, the next seven months will direct my future life in more than one way. No matter where I end up or what happens next, all I hope for is that me and the rugratz are safe and smiling.

Thank you to all who have visited my site in my absence. Your concern, comments and presence is deeply appreciated. May I continue to blog until my computer dies....lol!

Stay sweet 'n smile............................Mz.
