The Question is this...
The bottom photo is of Judy Ann's older sister Linda. Linda's only child Taryn is next to her Mom. Taryn is 30 and will be getting married on October 5 (which happens to be Judy Ann's birthday). Anyway, I got an invite to the wedding on Sunday, Sept 29. The Invite was post marked 9/25. The reply card says I should respond by Sept 14. The wedding is in Georgia.
- So, the question is... do you think I should attend or just send a gift?
Or maybe I should just Facebook this Post to Linda and Taryn? Any opinions?

Good story from Poppy TJ about Parents & kids sports...
TJ's gran-daughter was playing basketball in a 6 to 9 league. Nobody knew the game, nobody could dribble, nobody could shoot. But they had a referee & fans at the game! Poppy TJ says one father kept yelling at the ref to "blow the whistle" at the multitude of violations. The ref ignored him, the father would not let up.
At Halftime the ref approached the idiot father & said, "they're just kids that are trying to learn to play". The idiot father said, "how will they learn the Rules if you don't blow the whistle"?
Second Half starts and one team takes the ball out of bounds. The Ref blows the whistle,"foot on the line he says", other Teams ball. Other team takes the ball out, girl grabs it, takes 3 steps & tries to dribble. Ref blows the whistle, "walking" he says. Other team takes the ball out, Ref blows the whistle, foot on the line! Other Team takes the ball out. Girl catches it and proceeds to dribble with two hands....Violation, the Ref whistles...
The Ref looked at the idiot father and asked, "how soon do you want to go home?"

Really Pisses me off when I see this stuff! How do we end it?
In one of the most memorable images to emerge from inside the Nairobi mall attacked last weekend by Islamic extremists, a 4-year-old girl is seen running toward a man who is reaching out a hand to pull her to safety.
The man was Abdul Haji, a 39-year-old real estate executive who rushed to the mall as the attack got underway. He managed to evacuate scores of people to safety, including that young American girl, Portia Walker, and is being hailed in Kenya as a hero.

One of the 3 great places to watch the northern lights in America
Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania
locations to watch the Stars
Five hours west of New York City, this favorite spot of amateur astronomers has some of the darkest skies east of the Mississippi. The 82-acre park is in the middle of the 265,000-acre Susquehannock State Forest, shielded from city lights by miles of hills and trees.

I did ask Ranger Rowen two Army questions when he was here on Friday night... and then a follow-up question
I asked, "Do they still shoot Craps on the bunks and do they still play Poker?"
- he said they don't have "bunks" so they don't shoot craps but they do play cards. Not Poker, they play Spades, he said.

What you eat...I am often times stunned when I read/watch what people eat & I have no appetite for...Like Branzino...what the @#! is Branzino?
I saw this movie where this Fish was served & I thought, no way I would eat that! It comes all the way from Europe! How fresh could it be when it finally arrives at a restaurant in Manheim?
I did have 2 Stauffers meat loaf, mashed potaters and string bean frozen dinners on Saturday night and they tasted very good...

How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...
