Gratitude, parties

1. Thank you to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Gratitude for an interesting Democratic convention so far
3. Gratitude for hopes for a good party for Rick, good block party, and good Obama party
4. Grateful I can include Politics and the English language in this blog - placing unrelated items together in my blog (and my mind) -

The Democratic convention so far is very interesting. The first night included speeches from Nancy Pelosi, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy (with a beautiful movie before), Jesse Jackson Junior, Michelle Obama (with a movie before that showed her life story), Michelle's brother, Barak's sister (a teacher and wonderful speaker), Clare McCaskill (Missouri, talking about various American life stories). That is the order I remember the speeches but that is not the order they actually appeared.

What stuck with me is the idea that it is time to pass the torch to a new generation, Ted Kennedy's statement. Caroline Kennedy, Jesse Jackson Junior, and the Obamas - you could say it is time to pass the torch to them. They are certainly worthy and will do I think a most wonderful job with the torch. I am hoping it is time to have universal health care coverage. I have trouble believing we do not have it already.

I am working on an invitation or e-vitation to Rick's party. We were lucky enough to get invited to a block party and Obama party. Living the party life - well, it could be worse! :-)

Fun! Food!
Who: Rick Evans
What: Birthday Party
When:
Where: El Grand Rodeo, Mayfield Road
P.S. Bringing a roll of pennies (or even an interval of 60 pennies) will make Rick very happy. :-)

Democratic convention

1. Thankful to God and all that helps me get through a day
2. Thankful that there is hope the Democratic Convention this year will yield an unbeatable combination

Tonight I am looking forward to the convention. The first night it is to be Michelle Obama and a movie about Ted Kennedy. Other highlights of the week include the two Clintons, Biden, and of course Barak outside in the big football stadium. All Barak all the time - that would be 100% better than what we now have, which is almost unbearable.

I am looking forward to so much including hearing Luke Russert on MS NBC.

Petti funeral

1. Thankful to God and all that gets me through a day
2. Thankful that we feel that Paula's grandmother is in good hands with God now

Holy Redeemer Church is so beautiful and the service was wonderful. Going to All Souls Cemetary was along Chardon Road and such a beautiful drive. May Grandma Petti rest in peace.
