Fun Stuff

Enough of the deep and scary stuff. Today we checked out a great park in Suwanee. We took Adam's bike and he had a ball riding it around the trails. He is so amazing on that two wheeler.

This weekend was fantastic. Had a great time on our Anniversary date at Ecco and The Whole World Theatre. Ecco is mostly Mediteranean type food which is my absolute FAVORITE. The service was amazing too and so layed back. The Whole World Theatre was where we had our first date and it was even funnier than I remember.

Saturday we worked around the house. Robert pressure washed the house while the kids played outside. Then we were off to soccer. In the afternoon we were off to Issac and Alondra's birthday for a little while which was beautiful.

Sunday I went to the gym for cycling and in the afternoon we had a big trip to the "Gwinnett Braves". The kids loved going to the baseball game. Even got to tailgate a little bit. From there we went straight to Robert's soccer game. The kiddos fell asleep in the car for a very late nap. We were worn out!!

History Repeating

"The 1918 has gone: a year momentous as the termination of the most cruel war in the annals of the human race; a year which marked, the end at least for a time, of man's destruction of man; unfortunately a year in which developed a most fatal infectious disease causing the death of hundreds of thousands of human beings. Medical science for four and one-half years devoted itself to putting men on the firing line and keeping them there. Now it must turn with its whole might to combating the greatest enemy of all--infectious disease," (12/28/1918)JAMA

Maybe I am a little paranoid but I see history repeating these days. I have a feeling that it will be a global pandemic which will push us to "universal healthcare" and I don't have a good feeling about it. It is through fear that we begin to loose our freedoms and nothing is more scary than having a sick baby. I hope that I am wrong about this prediction.

The Greatest Generation

This week I have been left thinking about "The Greatest Generation" and my personal connection to it through my own family's elders. My Father's Father died this week but up until this week I was so blessed as to still have three Grandparents. These people truly are card carrying members of "The Greatest Generation". Grandpa "Buddy" was a self made man. I admired him for being a lifetime learner and for his common sense apporoach to life. He once told me that he knew that he would be an aviator when he was a boy and saw "The Spirit of St. Louis" during a national tour. That passion for flying and his faith gave wings to every other blessing in his life. He was always ready to tell a story about his life and had an opinion about EVERYTHING. His mind and body were active right up to the end and he passed while working at home as he would have liked. We should all be so richly blessed.

Marlon Brando or the Guy from Grays Anatomy?

O.K. I know I am a looser and should be doing the dishes right now instead of making "separated at birth" comparisons. But I was watching an old Marlon Brando movie and I was struck with how much he looks like the dude from Gray's Anatomy, Justin Chambers. (No I did not know his name before I started googling images of him) One is a picture of Justin Chambers in an earlier modeling career and the other is young Marlon Brando. LOVE young Marlon Brando! Wow!!
