I'm Back!

May 18th, 2014

I'm back! I bet you all thought I ran away. No, can't say I ran away, well, maybe for the weekend. I am sitting here in Fort Lauderdale at my brothers house and enjoying the utmost peace and quiet. No kids to worry about, no laundry, no work, and no animals to tend to. Absolutely nothing! I even wrote to a friend that I just may go skinny dippin' in the pool if I want to. And no, my brother and his girlfriend are not here. They are off in Germany and I have their pad all to myself. Maybe I'll even hit the strip clubs tonight! Lol! Because I can! But really,I won't. But that would be a total trip! No, after this blog, I am heading to the beach and tonight to a good movie.

All day yesterday I went shopping at the Sawgrass Mills Mall and I think I walked about 10 miles. That mall has no end! But I bought some new dresses and shoes. I get to where more dresses again, because if some of you don't know, I lost 50 pounds this past year and I am looking good! ;) Well, I think I am looking good. And I have braces too! I look like a total geek, but hey, that's okay! Call it my midlife crisis.

So I just wanted to say "Hello" to all of my readers and to let you know, I plan to get back into writing once a week as I always have. With the divorce, then my Dads passing a couple of weeks ago, everything seemed to be quite an extensive blur. Another reason I am taking a long weekend off. But when I do get home, I really want to focus on our area. Tim Nance held a great town hall meeting earlier this month and he presented every possible thing we need to know about Golden Gate Estates, and our future. I told him and everyone who was involved, that they did an outstanding job with all the information provided. On the agenda for that meeting, it went from our park, to roads, to oil wells, EMS, to economic development. So I told Tim that I plan to write a blog series over the summer about that meeting itself. Each item I will hit on and blog about. But of course, if I have the urge to write something off the beaten path, that's okay too!

The first one I want to write about is from way back when. It was the year 1961 and it's called, "An Open Letter", written by Leonard Rosen. The letter is directed specifically for Golden Gate Estates. It's pretty interesting read since it was before I was even born. So keep on the look out for that next week. I think it's time to hit the beach now!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Fire and Fury-AI to AI

Image
    I recently have been shown a book that has been published and already on the market for sale. This book is called Fire and Fury; The story of the 2023 Maui Fire and it's Implications for the climate change by Dr. Miles Stones.   First of all, we are still to this day, August 20th, not only trying to find out the details of why this occurred, but still searching for loved ones that more than likely perished in the fire. It's all a horrific tragedy. Then out of the blue comes this daunting book published and on the market just two days after the fire had begun. With event's as it reads: It's narrative follows the sequence of events spanning from the 8th to the 11th of August, 2023, during which the conflagration ravaged Maui, forever imprinting upon the memories of those who experienced it and those who fought valiantly to contain it. Something is seriously wrong here with this picture.  How can a book be published on the date of August 10th, yet be written in the tim

Turkey Turds and Rainwater

November 16th, 2011 Looks as though the Kniolas are preparing for a holiday Thanksgiving, filled with plenty of turkey turds and rainwater! Yes, it's true, we now own two adorable, yet really ugly turkeys. I specifically rounded them up for my husbands birthday since it was coming up soon. I figured since they were only three months old, they would be small enough to hide until his actually birthday. Well, I was wrong! When I arrived to pick them up with my two youngest, I just about fell over dead. They already stood two feet tall! My mind swirled around in shock over their sizes as I wondered how was I going to fit them in this little box filled with hay? How was I going to drive them in my van if they flew around crashing into windows? I knew I was in for an interesting ride home. The boys helped me pick out just the right two as a flock of 12 to 14 other adult turkeys gobble, gobble, and gobbled some more as they followed their owners every move.

Humble Beginnings

Image
Raising four boys in this lifetime has not come easy. Now that I'm down to my last son in the home, I find myself trying harder than I ever, as to humble one's thoughts. His thoughts. Our young generation is struggling. Trying to keep up in today's world is just too much for these fragile young minds to handle. Heck, I'm 53 and I find it a struggle myself. Life is a different ball game in these trying years, but most important, we should tackle them hands on, the best we can.   What is humbling beginnings to me?  Well, if you look into our younger generation now, it's obvious it's all about them. They have no filters, they find themselves so caught up in one's self, they tend to lose value as to who they really are and to those who surround them. (If that makes any sense). I am here to humble those who get a little ahead of themselves, and I find I am doing that more and more with my youngest, Matthew.  Even his brothers are doing the best they can to guide
