Morgan Leaving

He left for Ohio with Chris and Suzi and the boys this morning. I cried like a baby, too. I could not stop, even though I didn't want to make him feel bad for leaving. I used to love going to spend the summer with Grandpa. Morgan deserves it and I hope he has a great time visiting. I'll be glad when he's home though. I know, I am such a Mom.lol

Now blogging for 451press

Just started last friday, and so far, so good. It took a little while to get the hang of the software, but I seem to have it now. I'm supposed to write 5 daily posts a week for the next year. It should keep me busy. I'm pretty excited about it. I probably wouldn't have tried it if I hadn't done this blog first.

Summer Stress

This summer is going to be interesting. Mom lost her job, Morgan may not pass, and James is totally freaking out about money. He just got a pay raise, too. And instead of getting to be happy and excited, he gets to worry that it isn't enough to keep everything paid. I guess it doesn't matter where you live, it sucks to be poor.

Who said this?

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the
growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than
the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism —
ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any
controlling private power."

Love this quote

Samuel Adams:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom,-go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Freedom or Safety?

Freedom is not safe.
Safety is not free.

Which would you rather be?
Do we really have to choose?
Why can't we have both?

"Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former."
~ Albert Einstein
