Ok, This Blogging Stuff is Intense!

Hopefully, someday soon I'll get the hand of it! Bear with me a while.
Great day! Xavier took a day off to accompany me to Brookwood Community (for mentally and physically disabled citizens)...not to drop me off although I probably diserve it lately, but to go on the annual tour, shop and attend the performance by the citizens. It was beautiful and even brought a tear to his eye-and he let me spend some money! Goes to a worthy cause. This was a wonderful field trip for Cameron who is homeschooled. What a wonderful way to show my precious son how truly EVERYONE is a blessing from God and that we ALL have a purpose that comes with talents and gifts! Then we shopped for Alex's "adopt a family" for his Faith Builders party tonight-then it was off to the big mall for some holiday cheer and some dinner. It's almost midnight and Xavier is snuggled on the couch with the new puppy (early St. Nicholas gift) bonding while they watch something manly and sporty. The baby is totally crashed on my bed. Cameron and Alex are sound asleep and I'm sure Zach is on his computer. Kyra is in Chicago enjoying over 16 inches of snow-her first REAL snowfall! But, alas, the Navy has banned all snowball fights but I think Snow Angels were permitted!
Today I remember the soul of my dad, Charles (Butch) Neal who departed this earth 15 years ago. Today was his birthday. I miss him but know in my heart he watches over me and loves dearly all these boys I've added to his family and the family of God!
God bless you, dad, may you rest in peace
and may perptual light shine upon you.
