School Is Open, For Wilson & Easton School Districts

Monday was the start of our first day of school and it went very well. I was crossing for the first shift at Saint Janes DeChantel School at 7:15 AM. The kids were so excited to go back to school for their first day that some of the kids were very early. The parents also looked very happy too for they have a day to themselves or with the kids that are still at home.

A lot of parents brought cameras to take pictures of their kids riding the school bus for the first time. Some kids chose to ride the bus instead of their parents driving them. It makes it easier on those parents this year. Then, their were some siblings that just didn't want to ride the bus at all, they would rather get driven to school by their parents or grandparents. It was all great to see them in their nice uniforms with new backpacks and lunch boxes.

My next shift was at 8:15 AM for the Wilson Elementary School. The kids arrived with their parents who also had cameras or camera phones to take pictures of their child for the first day of school. The kids all looked so pretty and handsome with their new outfits, backpacks and lunch boxes. Some kids were very excited and then there were some that just didn't want to go at all. Once they are back in the routine of things again, they will be happy to be with their friends to share what they have done over the summer months.

It went very well with the new security officer, John, that the Wilson School District hired. The traffic was moving right along with no problems for me or the kids crossing to school. It was so nice to have a very peaceful start of the school year. Hopefully, it will stay that way!

So, all drive safely and pay attention to all your surroundings because school is open.

Today is Saturday, just two more days until the school year starts.

I can't believe on Monday I go back to school guarding again for the year. It is hard to believe that the summer is just about over. Now back to the old grind, YIPPEE!

I love crossing those kids to school and seeing what they all wear, especially the first day. They all look so pretty and handsome.

Now, hopefully we will all start out on a good note and NO PARKING in front of the school. We got rid of the trouble makers and this should be a really nice year for us all.

Drive safely, School is Open!

Prayers are needed

Chuck lost his job yesterday and we are in need of your prayers, so he can find another one.
He is happy to be away from Sherwin Williams again, they own the Duron Paint Company, MAB Paints, Dutchboy Paints, and many more that I don't know of. They are the BIGGEST paint company in the USA.

That company didn't care about the health and welfare of their employees, all they care about is the all mighty dollar.

Chuck is very happy to be away from them, but I'm very scared of what the future holds for us.

He is hoping to make a career change and to stay away from all the heavy lifting he was doing. His body can't do it anymore.
Chucks knows a lot about different things, like computers, etc. He is a very smart man.

So please pray for him and me or course.

The only one that can lead us in the right direction is God. And I'm putting it in his hands, with the help of you all who reads my blog.

I'm very thankful that Chuck enjoys playing in the band, hopefully when he does find a job that it won't interfere with it. That is one thing he has enjoyed over the years. It has made life pleasant for him, to escape from the dreary work place, to making people smile, with music.

Come on out and have fun at Camp Charles Campground



Stampede Band is playing at Camp Charles Campground in Upper Mount Bethel, just north of Bangor, PA. from 8-11 pm, on August 11th.
We all have such a good time dancing and listening to good singing and music. The band plays country, oldies, rock-n-roll and requests.

All you need to bring is what you are going to drink and munch on. They have tables and chairs to sit and relax on. Just come on out and have a good time.

Here are some pics of the last time they were there.

Our Band Mother, Dolly




Now we all should be jealous of her but we can't. You got to love Miss Dolly. We enjoy her coming out every time she can between her dates with her grandson Bryce Jr. You see her grandson Bryce races mini cars around dirt tracks. I hear he is very good.

JR's granddaughter does the same thing. She is also very good.


Now you can see how much she loves Chuckie!

Our Drummer, Sid


Here is Sid, the drummer in the Stampede Band. He makes so many different faces all through the night while beating on those drums.

The Stampede Band


Here is the band my hubby Chuck plays in. From left to right, we have JR, leader of the pack, Chuck, bass player, Gene on keys.
You can't see the drummer in this picture so I'll find a picture of him. His name is Sid. The man of many faces when he drums to the beat.

My girlfriend Danielle and her hubby Charlie


This is Danielle and her hubby Charlie behind her. They are from New York, I think Brooklyn. She is a character as you can see in this picture. I love to listen to her talk with her accent. She is one crazy, nutty, girl.

I love you Danielle! Glad we became friends.

She is also a school crossing guard. I introduced her to the job. The perfect job when you want to be a stay at home mom and you can take your kids with you to the corner. Yeah, for school guards!

Chuck and his girlfriend, Dolly


I like to introduce Chuck's girlfriend, Dolly. She just loves him singing to her, especially her favorite song, "He'll Have To Go." The band does it their own style and she just swoons ove his singing.

Patches and Dutchess II, when they were about the same size


Here is when we first got Dutchess II. Patches was 3 months old then and Dutchess II was only 9 weeks.

Dutchess II, boy has she grown.



This is Dutchess II favorite spot to sleep.


She used to be able to fit on the ledge of my desk, but she has grown so much she can't quite fit anymore.


She is constantly falling off, but she keeps trying.

Cody, our oldest dog



Cody is enjoying his rest in the puppies' crate. I can't believe he can fit in it, LOL.


He seems to be relaxing quite well in it, don't you think.
