A Few More Days til Trip

Good morning to all of the faithful followers of moi: We are almost ready for our trip to the north for our summer visit. This morning we are helping our neighbor Jacob with his American History paper for summer college. Glad he went to school as it helps us exercise our minds as well.
I would like to add more to my blogging about the trial and verdict of Casey Anthony. I learned many things from this trial.
When I rake my leaves now, I don't call them leaves but Leaf Litter. I learned that there is much legal wrangling in these procedures. I used to think I wanted to be a juror but not really sure now. I do know one thing, all things being equal, we would probably still be deliberating if I was on that particular jury.
I have also come up with an idea, she (Casey) would probably have been light years ahead if she went to jail for years. Now she faces nothing but hatred and much fiscal responsibility resulting from her behavior. But my life goes on and now I have to pick out the shirts for packing in Mr S's suitcase. lmao Okay love to all and you know the drill.

Final Launch Today

Good Morning to all of the faithful followers of moi: It has been a few days since I vented about the verdict. I still am upset but life for me goes on. We watched the sentencing pase of the trial and she will be free on July 17. But for me I feel the person will never be free like you and I are. She no doubt will pull an OJ and get away with murder but land her a** in jail for something else. God Bless Caylee Marie, the beautiful little girl who won't grow up. Okay enough maudlin thoughts for the day. In a few minutes I will go to the back corner of our yard and watch the final shuttle mission take off. What a historic day this is. If the clouds don't get in the way I will try to photograph it. Heres hoping. Okay will finish this in a few. Okay love to all and you know the drill. Also a quick Butch update,
he is back in hospital with a infection. Upon reading about it, it is not uncommon after this kind of surgery. He is in sterile ICU getting antibiotics. Will post more later. Too cloudy to see the last one. poop

A SAD SAD DAY FOR ME

Afternoon to all of the faithful followers of moi: I became invested in the trial for Casey Marie Anthony and today they came back with a verdict of not guilty on all of the charges that would put Miss Anthony in jail for a very long time. They found her guilty of lying to law enforcement (4 counts) and she could walk on Thursday. For me it is a sad sad day. The reason for this trial is a beautiful little girl who I picture as a little person, not skeletonized remains with vines growing thru it. I find it so hard to believe that 12 other human beings would not feel that if she did not do it, who did? This was a definite miscarriage of justice. I know that it pretty silly to be so upset but I cannot help it. I chose in life to not have children but know that if I had I would have loved them with everything I had. Thanks to all for allowing me to vent. Love to all and you know the drill. Please take time to pray for Caylee.

Casey Anthony Trial

Good afternoon to all of the faithful followers of moi: Today are the closing argument and then the jury goes out to deliberate. And then hopefully I will get over my addiction to this damn trial and be back to normal. Although I don't know for sure how it will go. This is such a sad thing and there is a beautiful little girl dead and that should not have been. Okay I need to get some work done before the closing arguments are done after lunch. Love to all and you know the drill.

Alive and Well in FLA USA

Good afternoon to all of the faithful followers of moi: I humbly apologize for being so negligent in my blogging. I am addicted to this Casey Anthony Trial and have been trying to do stuff in between breaks. Also have had trouble with energy level. I have been trying to get my patio cleaned and it is not done yet. roflmao. Titus is mowing the lawn now so it was probably a blessing in disquise. Yes I will take that as my excuse. LOL Okay love to all and you know the drill. I will try to be better from now on.

Recess

Good afternoon to all of the faithful followers of moi: Well the trial is in recess for the day so now I have to find something else to get into. Now must stop typing and talk to Brominator. Love to all and you know the drill.

We went to the Doctor's and he wanted to change Don off his medicine and put him on a new med. In the interest of saftey we decided to postpone the trip until we see how the med effects him. He is very sensitve to the old med which makes him feel loopy and should not do that. We will stay home until our train trip up north. Miss Oreo is happy, she can sleep on the futon.
