About Me

Hi, my name is Amy and this blogging is new to me so here goes, I'll give it a whirl. I have 2 beautiful daughters who are both married to wonderful husbands and I have 2 beautiful granddaughters, ages 3 and soon to be 6 years old. They are my heart!! I have always enjoyed working out to stay in shape and boxing is my all time favorite thing to do now. I have been boxing for fitness for just over a year now. It is totally addicting and I love it. If you are interested in boxing for fitness check out www.hadleysboxing.com. My passion is my sewing. So much so I wish I had more time to do it. The "Melissa's Bag" you see displayed is the one I just did for my daughter. She put in a special request for this tote bag. I had alot of fun designing this one with her. She is also very talented and has her own business which you can check out at www.offthewallhome.com. I also took a couple of the fabric pieces I had left over and made her a picture frame. I forgot to take a picture of it but she is going to take one of it and send to me, so I will be posting it soon. This blogging is new to me so be patient as I learn more about it. Thank you for visiting.

Let us all be grateful

Okay, I hit the wrong button or something and I lost everything I just wrote. So let me do this again. As I sit here tonight and listen to all that is going on I am just getting more and more frustrated and sadden. I have to say at first I was upset when I first heard McCain had backed out of the debate on Friday. But once I learned why he had done it then my heart was pleased. Obama should have done the same. McCain is putting the people first and not the debate. I agree now, the debate can wait, we the people, all of us, the ones that are being affect by this economic disaster, that live here America, cannot wait. So yes the debate can wait! We are the United States of America and we should be proud of our country. And yes Obama did say this is not a Democratic or a Republican issue it is an American issue. Yes this is true. So why is he not putting us the people (Democrats and Republicans) first, but putting himself first. Look at us - we are losing our jobs, our homes, our everything we work so hard for. Is the Good Lord trying to tell us something? We should stop and take a look around and be grateful for all that we have, our homes we live in, our cars we drive, (even though gas prices are so high that we are seeing more people on bikes and walking) the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the jobs we do have and on and on. Are we grateful for what we do have and know that we are blessed? Is this his way of making us stop in our tracks and take a good look at ourselves? Do you pray? Maybe you should. Let us all be thankful for what we have and pray that we can turn this economic mess around and save ourselves and our country. Each morning when you awake thank him for this day that "he" made and rejoice in it. Yes the debate can wait and yes McCain is doing the right thing. He is putting us first even though it might cost him, because you are too blind to see it. Tonight when you go to bed, pray that he show us the way, pray for our loved ones, our family, our friends, our country. Spend more time with your family and friends. Let them know you love them. We are not promised tomorrow. God bless US everyone!!
