St. Patricks Day

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand

Thankful Thursday

There is so much in life to be thankful for.
I am thankful for my wonderful husband, who taught me what unconditional love and friendship is from a man. Oh yea, I'm thankful for his romance also.

I am thankful for my children. From oldest to youngest or youngest to oldest and all in between. They each have wonderful qualities that make me proud of them. We tend to focus on the bad things in the day, but children are blessings, whether they are biological or step.

Andrya, you are always a bright light to me. I love your ability to put your thoughts out on paper.
Alex, you are special in that you always look for the fairness in life and what is right.
Bart, I am thankful that you are in my life for your caring and always being there for dad and I.
TJ, you are warm and thoughtful, always sending notes to tell me you care.
Devin, your smile and dedication to your children impresses me daily.

My Aunts, I love you dearly. You helped make me who I am today.

My parents, God Bless you both. I miss you every day of my life and wish I could just hear your voices one more time.

My brother and sister. I love you both.

Mexico

So here I am at work again. I've been in Monterrey Mexico almost a week. People get all excited when you tell them that you are going to Mexico for work. They think it is a vacation. Alas, I wish. I go to work to be in the factory for 7am. I leave at 7pm. Is there daylight? I wonder. Weekend? I wonder. I will actually take Sunday off this week. I will go out and take some pictures for all to see. Monterrey is an industrial town. There is a lot of industry here. The sad thing is that so many US companies have been outsourcing their product here. We wonder why our country is losing jobs. We won't as consumers pay the higher prices, consequently, we go out of the country to manufacture. So Sad......
