Humbled by True Friendship.....
I am thankful for all my friends. I know that I would do just about anything for anyone of my friends. Tonight a friend of mine, stepped up big time tonight and has shown me true friendship. He came over after work and helped me out and spent about 5 hrs of his own time, away from his family, to help me out. I can't express in words how happy and thankful I am. That really means a lot to me that someone would do that. Tonight he has shown me true friendship and I'm honored that he calls me friend. Take time to thank your friends. Don't take forgranted the things your friends do for you. Tonight my friend who helped me out is my Hero for the month of June!

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his senator)....
This makes me laugh and I wanted to share it......

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you. My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal Alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year. Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal(retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.

First time out.....
Yesterday I went golfing with some buddies after work and man oh man did I suck it up. This is the first time I have golfed this year. It is also the first time I have golfed with my fixed wrist. (last year I had surgery on my right wrist) I shot a 54 on the front 9 and on the back 9 I am sure I would have shot a 70. We didn't get to finish because it was getting late. We got kicked off the course on the 16th hole and never got to finish our game. If we would have got to finish I am sure I would have shot a 125. This par 3 on the back 9 took my places I have never been and I shot a 13. I am very embarrassed by this and that messed me up the rest of the game.
I pray that the rust is gone but am afraid that my chipping is going to be an issue this season. It wasn't the best of days for golf but was still fun to get out.

The Garden....
Thats right, I have a garden. It all started about two weeks ago. Some friends helped me set it up. We planted corn, tomatos, beans, bell peppers, cucumbers, peppers and squash.
It's a lot of work trying to get a garden together. There is weeding like no other and then trim and other stuff. It was dirty but fun. As you can see I had some help.
The toughest part was raking all the weeds out and pulling them by hand. Once we started planting we had to make sure we watered everything to make sure the plants grow up nice and strong.
After we planted & watered everything it looked great! I'm still working on it and will get more pictures as my garden grows! I look forward to this new adventure in my life.
Blessings..........................
