Only the good die young


One of my Dad's best friends and a friend of mine was killed a day ago. They couldn't find his body until late last night.

He was at a 4th of July picnic and sleepover-conference with business associates and friends at a lake house. Early in the morning the house went up in flames. Everyone got out except 1 man, my dad's friend went back in to try to get the man out. Right when he re-entered the house it exploded. The cops suspect arson. So really he wasn't killed, he was murdered.

He died a good death.

His name was Bill, he was 57. Had a wife, daughters and grand-babies. I knew him almost my whole life. He was a friend of mine, not just a friend of my family.

We will all miss him. We are all devastated.

Your 2006 Summer Anthem Is

Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

"She's a lover, baby, and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when it got a little brighter
With a name like "Dani California"
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death"



Your World View

You are a fairly broadminded romantic and reasonably content.
You value kindness and try to live by your ideals.
You have strong need for security, which may be either emotional or material.

You respect truth and are flexible.
You like people, and they can readily make friends with you.
You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you.








What Demon are you? {Girl pics,sorry!}




You are the devil's rebelious cousin's daughter! That means that you live in the 7th level of hell and you are the main boss of everything...Unless Satan says otherwise. You are one evil ass chick/dude! Please don't whip me....
Take this quiz!










You Communicate With Your Body

This isn't as bad as it sounds, it just means that you're a "touchy-feely" person.
You need a lot of affection in your life. And for you, this means both giving and receiving little touches.
Warm hearted, you bond with people easily. In fact, you often feel a little sad when you're not in the company of others.
A little moody, you tend to be controlled by your emotions. But a bit hug always comforts you!

Then we went back to Atlanta for the 4th and we went downtown with about 1 million other people to watch the big display but we got rained out. It was not just rain exactly it was a torrential downpour that started about 45 minutes before the fireworks were scheduled to go off. I don't have any pictures of that part though I was too busy trying to get kids and myself warm and dry and I was shivering too hard to hold my camera steady.  Posted by Picasa
