Eric Braedon from the Young and the Restless

Whoohoo is this man sexy or what!


They don't call him the BLACK KNIGHT for nothing.


Here he is in a black suit.

The Sexiest Man Alive!

Just in case you don't know who this man is, it is "Eric Braedon/Victor Newman," from the" Young and the Restless." Is he just the most handsomest man around? Now I would love to meet him in person.

The Happy Father!

Dutchess II and Patches

Dutchess and Patches love to lounge on my Lazy Boy recliner. They are so very funny!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMIE

Today is Jamie's birthday besides being Valentine's Day. So, let's all wish Jamie a Happy Birthday.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Today is sweetheart's day for you lovers. I want to wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day.

Lynn Mastio Rice

I added a link to the side in my favorite links for Lynn Mastio Rice, she is the drummer's wife that is in the Stampede Band with Chuck. She is an actress that performs in NYC and other cities around the country.

She does movies, TV commercials, broadway, etc. Never knew she was this talented. It sure is an interesting field of working.

Check her out.

A Playground For Us Grandmothers

I think this is a GREAT idea for us older folks. I love to swing on swings and seesaw on teeter totters. I can see me smiling like these grandmothers, can't you?

Sorry, Steph, I had to post this on my Blog for my friends to read.

Bucky the Ram

This is Bucky with the black face. He likes ramming you and making you fall to the ground. He got me real good one day last summer.

Nathan's Farm Animals

These are some of Nate's farm animals down in Williams Township.

Nathan's Farm

Please check out my girlfriend's son's Blog about his farm animals.
Nathan, is just a sweet loving boy, that all he wants to be when he is done growing up, is a farmer, with all kinds of animals.

Our Youngest Grandchild, Jacob

Here is a picture of our youngest grandchild, Jacob, he is six months old today. It is so hard to believe that six months have past since his birth. He is such a happy and bubbly little boy.

Don't you just want to eat those chubby cheeks right up? Can't wait to see what kind of mischievous things he gets into when he starts to crawl and then walk. Hopefully, my daughter-in-law, will consider using a playpen with this one, cuz she has her hands full with Justin & Timothy. I won't judge her if she doesn't, but I won't want to be her, when she will have 3 little devilish boys on the loose. The two boys now can find things to get into. Can you imagine, when they start showing Jacob how to get into trouble, without getting into trouble by himself. OMG! I can see it now! Remember the commercial Mikey will eat it, well, I can hear Justin & Timothy, Jacob will do it, LOL!

When my boys were young they used to try and blame each other for things happening. When they wouldn't fess up to who did it, both would get punished for the wrong doing. It was only fair, I thought.

HAPPY SIX MONTHS, JACOB!

A picture of my son Tom

Maree', pictured up top was 10 when she painted this picture of her daddy, Tom. She has some talent in art.

Patches at 3 months old

Marie is holding Patches at a band job at Meuser Park. This is really a nice park in the summer to hear different bands. They have a playground, swimming pool, pavilions, and band shell.

The Rose

Here is Chuck singing in the Stampede Band. The lighting wasn't very good, but at least you get a good idea of what the band sounds like.

The Three Musketeers!

Cody our lab, Patches our shit-pooh, Dutchess our golden-doodle. As you can see Cody loves his picture taken.

They are best Buds!

Patches and Dutchess go everywhere together and play together. Here they are laying together.

Patches found a new Bud

 Patches found a new friend in Bill's girlfriend Cindy. I love her look as I took her picture. She seems like she is thinking, not again, another picture.

 My precious dogs. Top picture is Cody & Dutchess. Bottom is Dutchess after she got groomed. She is so pretty!

A Message To Our Unsung Heroes

I thank God for all you have to do to help US as a nation to have FREEDOM. May all you soldiers come home safely to your families. You are all amazing people.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Happy New Year, George

I thought I'd have George Clooney wish all us beautiful women a "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Isn't he handsome!

Suzy Homemaker

I was Suzy Homemaker today. I made pepper pot soup and apple pie. Both came out pretty darn good, if I say so myself.

I tried multi-tasking today. I have a hard time at that, so I made soup & apple pie at the same time. Did laundry & vacuumed during the same time. Wow, I got some things done all together, which surprised me that I can do, if I'm not distracted by the phone ringing, Chuck being around my territory, or visitors.

Front Page of The Express-Times

This is how cold it was for us school crossing guards this week. Here is a picture on the front page of our newspaper, this morning's edition. I was dressed in my orange hunting coat with a hoodie sweatshirt under it, just to brave the elements. That wind was so wicked. The first day back, on Wednesday, we didn't have too many walkers, but the rest of the week we did.

The kids looked so pretty and handsome in their new outfits and boots. Santa was extra nice to some of them, LOL.

I love kittens

I just kittens! They are just so cute and this little one looks like our kitten we had many years ago. I named her patches because she had black patches on a orange & white body.

Clutter in Your House can be More Damaging to Your Health Than You Realize

I found this article that I thought was very interesting.  So, I thought I would share it.

Our Granddaughter, Maree' Turned 11 years old on Dec. 26th

 Maree' is turning into a beautiful young woman. It is so hard to believe that she is 11 yrs old. I remember when she was born.

Here I am Looking at Chuck

My heart belongs to one man and that is Chuck. Here I am while looking at him, LOL. And he is looking back at me, LOL. I can read his mind......He is saying only Sue!

My little Patches Thinks She is a Super Dog, LOL.

My little Patches is so funny, that Chuck calls her his little Bulldog. She is so strong and mighty. Here she is weight lifting, LOL.

A Pic of The Sun

I am playing around with some gifs and stuff.  Pretty neat!

Thanks to my daughter-in-law Steph for telling me about where she gets her gifs.

Back To Work

Today was a very cold to return to work crossing those little kiddies.  The wind was a blowing and the temps were lowering to a frigid degree of 26, but it feels like 16 degrees.

I feel sorry for all the kids that have to walk to school when it is this cold.  My little granddaughter Leanna, her mommy, and her brothers have to walk to school, also.  Mommy doesn't drive, but her school isn't that far from her house.

Our school district is a walking district, so most kids have to walk.  Most parents drive them on cold or rainy days.  When it's warm and beautiful out they all walk to school.  Less congestion at the school when everyone walks. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

Chuck and I went to West Easton AA from 8-1 PM.  They served BBQ and sausage patty sandwiches, macaroni salad, chips, pretzels, olives & pickles.  At midnight we had a Champagne toast with all the noise makers to ring in the New Year.  I do not like Champagne, YUK!  I took one sip and got rid of it.  I had some Jello shots the flavors were orange cream sickle and cherry.  I tried them both, not bad.

So, each of you I truly wish that 2008 is a much better year for us all.

God Bless

Sue and Chuck 

New Year's Eve Day

I want to wish all my readers a very Happy and Healthy New Year.  It's so hard to believe that another year has come and gone.  Where does the time go!

What are your plans for ringing in the New Year?

I guess are plans are to go to the WEAA for food and drinks with our friends.  They put on a spread for their members and don't charge anything.  Where can you go for a nice time and it doesn't cost you to eat.  All you pay for is your drinks and they aren't expensive.  But I don't really drink so I'll be a cheap date, LOL. 

Rekindle Your Relationship for 2008

There seems to be too many breakups in marriage or longtime relationships that we so do take for granted.

 
 Isn't she sweet looking? 

I AM BORED!

I am so bored, so I don't know which template I want for my blog. Be patient with me as I may change it everyday to see which one I like the best. This is my pink feeling for today.

Our Shaggy Dutchess II

This is our Dutchess II, she is relaxing in my lounge chair.  Our other Ducthess used to do the same thing.  She is following in her footsteps, LOL.

Here are my three babies.

From left to right, we have Cody our yellow lab, he is 9 years old.  Next we have Patches our shit-pooh (our little one) we call her, she is 9 months old.  Third we have Dutchess II our golden-doodle, she is 7 months old.  I call her my puppy from hell.  The reason why I call her that is she lives up to the golden retrievers.  She ate my cell phone last week because her daddy didn't pay attention to her.  I was outside talking so she wanted to see what she could get into and she found it on my desk.  All in all she is a very loving puppy.  Patches is such a weenie, when it comes to going potty outside in the rain.  She doesn't like getting wet, but she sure likes getting dirty.  At least once a week she gets a bath because of her looking so scrounge from our muddy yard.

God has worked a miracle in this young man's life

How we all fret over the little things.  How we wish we had more of this or more of that, than what we have. God has chosen this young man to share his life with so many people that we all need to look at ourselves and be thankful for so many things.  We are truly all blessed with something.

You Raised Me Up!

Here is a video that says it all!  May you all be blessed as you watch and listen to this wonderful video.

May my Lord and Saviour touch you all with his grace and mercy.

I love you all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I thought the kids would enjoy this, as well, as the adults.

A Traffic Controller for a School in Ohio

I got this article from a friend in Ohio.  It was published in her local newspaper.  A school crossing guard dressed as a Christmas Tree, but they are called traffic controllers in that state. 

Click on the title and when it opens click on the picture to get a better view of her dressed as a tree.

Merry Christmas to all!

Thank you Cherie for sending me the article. 

The Stampede Band

Here is the "Stampede Band" performing live at Frankie & Johnny's Island Park Bar & Grill, in Buttsville, NJ.  The song is Smoke on the Water.

From left to right we have J.R. on lead & vocals, Chuck on bass & vocals, Gene on piano & vocals, and Paul on drums.

This was Paul's first gig with the band.  He and his wife Lynn are a very nice couple and we welcome them to the band family.

Hope you all enjoy listening.

Dominik The Christmas Donkey

I love this Christmas song.  I'm sure you all will like it too.

Santa's Sing-A-Long Christmas Carols

For all you children at heart, at Christmas time.  See if you can find your favorite carol.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Our first SNOW Day from School

The weather is a bit frightful out there today, so every school in our viewing area has canceled school.  So, my plans for today is to do the wash, vacuuming, dusting, and anything else I don't have the time to do.  Well, I think I'll skip all that and just relax and watch the dust bunnies collect, LOL.

What are your plans for today on this frightful weather day?

No, really I will try to get some of those things done, while chasing 2 puppies around the house and keeping them safe from chewing everything in site, LOL.

My poor floors are going to be all mud, YUK.

North Pole Times

To all the little kiddies out there who want to know what is happening on the North Pole.

The First Dance Together

Only if weddings were this funny as you're watching the bride and groom dance their first dance together.  I can see my Chuckie doing this, NOT!

Cody, our senior dog

This is Cody, he is our senior dog.  He is 10 years old.  He loves sleeping in my chair, cuz it is so comfy. 

Dutchess II

Dutchess used to be able to fit in Patches's crate, but no more.  She has gotten so BIG.

Gizmo and Snowball

Gizmo, which we call Gizzy and his brother Snowball, which we call whitey.  It is hard to believe that they are brothers because Gizzy has long hair and Whitey has short hair.  They are both part Himalayan Cats.

Chuck brought them home from work during February, when we were having a snow storm.  A painting contractor came into the Duron Paint Store with these kittens asking if he knew someone who wanted kittens.  Of course he had to call me.  And I said yes. 

They are best of Buds

Here they are laying together on their doggie bed and Dutchess trying to fit in the kitty bed.

Patches after getting fixed in August

She is so funny.  You thought she was put through the wringer, LOL!  She looks drunk in the first picture.  

The second picture she was passed out from being drugged, LOL.

My Patches and Dutchess II

Here is Patches, she is 4 months old and Dutchess II, she is 2 months old.  Aren't they so cute.

Boy have they grown, now.

A Night at Brewhaha's

Friday Night the Stampede Band played at Brewhaha on Belvidere Road in Harmony, New Jersey.  We had some of our good friends come on out and join us for a bit.  They couldn't stay long because it was a late night startup, from 10:30-1:30.

Where this bar is located in this room used to be the dining hall.  They moved the bar from the other room to here and created a new dining room.  Really good food and the prices are bad at all.  From 10 PM Friday and Saturday all alcoholic are $3.50, shots, mixers and drafts.

Thanks to our friends from the Western Nights Dance Club for coming out.
