Drivin' 55

It seems as though we are bombarded everyday about the H1N1 virus these days.  One can’t go 5 minutes watching the news without either a story about the shortage of the vaccine, the reported 19 deaths of young children, or the long lines of people lining up to acquire the vaccine.  Though it seems that I do not fall into the recommended age group, I do not have to ponder whether or not to participate in the mass of people attempting to be vaccinated.  Every year my husband and I get our annual flu shots, but I wonder if I would get the new vaccine.  The Swine flu peaked in Georgia as soon as the children went back to school in early August.  It seems to be waning at this point.  Somehow I believe that the media has blown this story out of proportion because they seem to do this with every mass story.   Gee, the media has never done this before, right?  Bottom line…will you get the H1N1 vaccine?  Will your family members be vaccinated?...

So, I haven't really been blogging as much as I should these days. Partly because my husband was out of town and all responsibilities fell on my shoulders for the care of the grandson and the MIL. With the arrival of Jack's Christmas stocking kit, I spent the first three days reading and re-reading the directions. Finally, realizing that I could have written them much clearer for the benefit of all mankind! Truly, these instructions were mind boggling. Sometimes I wonder if they weren't so concerned about writing directions in 14 languages, more time could be spent on writing clearer directions in English! The stocking is almost finished and I will post the photos of my handiwork. I ask that you do not pay close attention to the stitching in the upper left corner of the stocking as it took half of the stocking for me to get the hang of the applique stitch. Nothing says red like a hibiscus flower! And red will be the color for Saturday as the Georgia Bulldogs meet the Flor...

If you could have one wish… what would it be? Would you wish to win the lottery? Would you wish for a cure for cancer? How about peace in the world? Or would you wish for happiness? What would you wish for?

If dreams were wishes and wishes were real I would be sitting right here absorbed in God’s beauty. On the road to Hana Maui 2003
