I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
Saturday was the prom for Watertown High School so we made a day of shopping then getting to see Amanda and Ashley in their gowns for pics before they headed off for the evening.
You stop and think that my little girl 18 years old and graduating high school this year. As a parent you always have your concerns about your children. you know... are they doing well in school? Are their friends a good influence on them?? Is there something more I can or could have done?? Well, Amanda is a very nice young lady and have gotten many comments. Don't let the hair and the piercings fool ya lol. If you read this Amanda, I'm proud of you :)
We hired a contractor to replace the front porch roof. Don't ask me why we didn't have that done when the deck was replaced although I do remember the contractor thought some new flashing would take of the leak near the front door....well, it didn't so we will have it done and soffit put in the match the rear porch.
I got to make my moulding for the front door last week. Certainly I am not an expert and don't have the equipment of one but it does look nice and you have to look close to see a couple of mistakes. We decided on waiting til we were done with the kitchen to have the baseboard moulding custom made. I can't seem to get close enough to match what we already have in the house. There's something about removing the moudling and seeing square nails lol
A little travel news:
We confirmed with my brother-in-law for a visit towards the end of June to early July. He is scheduled to head back to Iraq in December so Georgia here we come. They live near Savannah so it looks like a day trip to Tybee Island is in order. From what I have read it looks to be a little bit for all of us...nature trails, 200 year old light house, sea turtles...ect.

NUESTRO HIMNO
A la luz de la aurora ....
You've got to be joking. The title is "Our Anthem" and the words above?? "oh say can you see".
Give me a break. Our national anthem in spanish? WHY?
Ok, I can support anyone that comes here for a future and wants to live the American dream through the sweat of hard work. I can agree to make it easier for those who want to become citizens do so whether it be through guest worker permits or whatever. I do not favor of inviting untold numbers of illegals through our porous borders by granting amnesty to those who arrived illegaly.
Look at job openings on one of the online sites and you will see a growing number of employers requiring prospective applicants to be bilingual. I can understand if a good portion of your position would be dealing with clients in.....say, Ecuador. We are the only industrial country in the world to force workers to adopt the language of immigrants. Imagine a worker from London in the UK applying for a job only to be told he had to be bilingual in Hindu or Farsi.
When you become a citizen you are suppose to know how to read and write in the language of the host country not the other way around. When will it end? There's debate on whether the National Anthem in spanish is a step too far and along with the hoards of demonstrations alienating those who are moderate to their cause....and rightfully so.
