If you consider it a sport to sit in a ice hut all day long with a rod and reel just to put perch in your freezer..
you might live in Buffalo ..
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Lewiston
is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Buffalo ..
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Buffalo .
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Buffalo.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Buffalo;
because you're all so damn friendly.
If you have ever worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same time, you might live in Buffalo .
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, or if you are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for
the Bills, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kickoff you might live in Buffalo
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Buffalo ...
It was great to see all my friends at the Fair tonight. Photo's to follow. I saw a Tigger too.... no Mel :( saw a Sean..........and a Kenz.... and a Dan ..........
It was great to see you too! I wish I could have done more mingling around the track, but given the needs of my other family members, I was pretty well confined to my immediate area- GRRRR. lol.
Glad to see you are still kickin... Check out Mel's page and Mike's page to see the pics from our camping trip with the two of them. It was a blast... :o)
You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'
I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'
I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.
I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?
Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
God
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
following:
Stop and think and appreciate God's power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father'
If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only
if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my
fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.'
Hey Dirwood....Sorry I haven't been around much lately....lots going on personally and professionally...
I got an email from Bri that I"m finally able to respond to today-
Get all the fun in you can, summer is almost over and the cold weather will be here soon... Not that I mind the snow and cold, as long as it isn't bitter cold.. :o)
Did somebody mention food and beer? I don't know, it depends on when you are talking about... But, I will say that it would be great to be able to get together with you and have a good time with food and beer. I am trying to figure out a get together for a bunch of us. More information to follow and you will be contacted.. :o)
