GOOD MORNING BLOGGERS

Canadian Novelist Margaret Atwood spoke at Royal Military College yesterday. I would have loved to have met her. She is one of my favorites

Another break in occured Thursday evening in Odessa. Luckily the teenager was caught by a neighbour. He was found hiding on the ground by a church. He was arrested and charged with theft and breach of probation. "Sorry buddy, you should have went to God, before you broke into the car!"

Captain Kangaroo ( Bob Keesham) Dies at age 76. OH! What a sad day. I remember watching him when I was a little girl. The paper does not say why he died, just that it was from a long illness.
God Bless You - Captain

MICHAEL SKUPIN - SURVIVOR ( OUTBACK SERIES) Will be speaking at my church on February 15th

Michael Skupin co-founded a software publishing and distribution company in 1992 where he currently serves as president. He also founded the CCA, which is a motivational speaking company. He attended Western Michigan University where he earned a bachelor of business management in 1984. His previous employment includes office equipment sales, surgical and operating room equipment sales, and a water-ski instructor. He is most proud of his wife Peni and his three children, Michael (12), Kalyn (9) and Emily (3).

Skupin describes himself as adventurous, a thrill-seeker, and a risk taker. His favorite television shows are ESPN's SportsCenter / Primetime (to compare notes with his son) and Seinfeld while his favorite motion picture is Meet Joe Black. Although he's a big fan of Faith Hill, he listens to a variety of music including Top 40, Country, Christian and has a soft spot for Oldies. His favorite sports teams are any team from Michigan, especially the University of Michigan Wolverines. Amid his hectic schedule, Skupin finds time to hunt, barefoot water-ski and play ice hockey. He'll also play a good game of Scattegories if time permits.

What's on the agenda for me today? Well...... We just bought a house in October and it needs some renovations. Nothing too serious, mostly just cosmetic. Today-if I get ambitious enough- and if my hubby gets his butt out of bed before noon - then I am going to strip some of the door moldings in my tea room. The house is over 120 years old, so I want to get all the trim down to the bare wood, and go from there.

Dear God: We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So, I bet he stole Your idea.
