Thanks to all of the service men and woman who have put their lives on the line and those who have lost their lives in order to protect ours.
BHG, Thank you for reminding everyone what today is about, that video with the song just touches my heart. His voice moves me like no others can.
Have a safe Memorial Day all!!

Jersey I think that video is very touching too.
I also wish everyone a safe Memorial Day.
I agree girls…Love the video and its an honor too, that Taylor sang this one and later, for the troops…its very special. I’m equalloy thankful to those who have served this country, to them I say thank you so much!! I also am reminded of my ancestors, whose lives were teken from them in the earliest wars here in America. So, to all who have protected our freedom, I say BRAVO!
Thanks so much BHG…I still have my one yellow ribbon on my big old oak tree in the front yard. The one by the lake is down…thanks to one’s return. My Marine will be home on the 1st of June. He said he will kiss the ground when he gets home. He lost several buddies and a best friend the first week on the front line. My other son lost 10 in one day. Fortunately, he is back and this was his 3rd trip over. I hope he never has to go back. My marine…well, it doesn’t seem that he will be spared of having to go back…seems most do. With the HUGE amt that Obama has sent over just in his short term…I am sure that those that voted for him because they thought he would stop sending troups…well, their heads must be spinning. We will have over 200,000 there by the end of this year. Close to that now. The amounts that WE hear on the news…bogus. The big boys over there…know what is what…and I can’t say how I know…but, I know. Many untrained went straight out of boot camp…about 60 thousand. You have to be sent to desert/mountain training first…but, seems they bypassed that. They were given about a couple of weeks notice. I just want to say that I won’t stop praying just because one son is back and the other on European soil soon to be home. This is serious…and these young men and women are protecting our freedom and our homeland security. If anyone can…find a few lonely soldiers over there…either Iraq or Afghanistan. Send a few treats…books…or even a letter or two. Many have no one.
Thanks again, BHG…the video kills my heart. I have relatives from so many different wars…and friends that have suffered, been shot or killed sacrificing for our freedom. I wish things were different…but, I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of sorrows. God Bless America!
Love you all! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Taylor Hicks @ Walmart in Marysville. Well to try and keep Taylors fans Happy I am going to post what was a very brief encounter with him on friday. He was at Walmart in Marysville, and to be honest he looked just plain tired. …

CBB, So happy your one son is back and the other about a week away, it mus be such a relief for all.
Jeanni, Saw Lola’s blog, she is something else. Taylor needs more Dj’s like her in his corner thats for sure!!!

Hey babe’s…Still have my daughter visiting…and she is only here for a day or so longer and then back to greet her hubby…He might kiss the ground but she is sure planting one on him. haha! Hey…she made me laugh. She said that she jumps on his back…and wraps those long skinny legs around him…and he calls her his backpack. Carries her around. They are so cute together…so glad he is almost home. Long journey…on the way back at the most weird places. Sheesh!
Need to send Lola a big box of Godiva candies. HAHA…hey, maybe I will.
Dreary day here in Atlanta. We had roof damage from those horrid storms, several actually, and the wind damage…just had my THIRD appt with the roofer…and poor thing on this steep 3 story roof…OMG…he slipped and skint his arm on a slide that did not end in his falling. Gee…but, an architectural roof is being used as an upgrade for free…nice, huh? So…my days have been so full of appts…sold another home…paperwork out the wazoo. Wish I had more time to see all and read all about Taylor…seems I miss so much these days.
I do, however, think we aught to have a contest to see what the next nasty remarks will be concerning Taylor. Just guessing would be fun. It is beginning to become comical.
This is how I think Taylor deals with it all…he laughs his butt off. For real! He could not care less. He probably can’t wait for them to find another victim. Will they ever move on? LOL! 
Talk later…off to check out a home inspection report…it doesn’t look to bad…need that closing. MONEY HONEY!
Later!
CBB, That’s cute his backpack, bet she can’t wait to be carried around!!!
Yeah we’ve had some real bad storms here alot of damage. Couple of folks hiking in a camp ground didn’t get hit directly by the lightening but four of them wound up in the hospital hurt by the effect of it. We are only in the low 50’s today, Fri, Sat Sun & Mon we were in the 80’s and sunny, now just gloomy. Supposed to last the rest of the week.

I am just sick of the rain. It has rained almost every day for so long…can’t remember. It looks like a beautiful day…then, boom…lightning and thunder and pouring…then nothing again…sun. It is humid but not hot. I planted *before I hurt my knee* some beautiful flowering bushes…and bought ferns for all my big pots…and they look amazing…haha…my birds in the backyard seem to just not care…the babies…6 of them…shake their feathers…hee hee. Three trees in the yard have been struck by lightning. I can imagine being near a lightning strike causing a real scare. One lady that I know…has had a history in her family…all getting struck so…she stays out of it. I always wondered WHY umbrellas have a metal piece down the center…like a lightning rod. Whoever invented that? Should have been plastic.
Changing my AVI…hope it works. It is driving me crazy…and things are different there…when you change your photo. Hope it works…I found an oldie but goodie. Don’t melt!!!!
My mother is a saint. She dealt with my clients. *sigh* They have been here for hours and I am hiding. Just did not feel like it. I have a hot pack on my knee and it is wrapped. These are really nice people BUT………..they love to talk. Last time they were here…they talked for 4 hours. I kept getting up…and they would start again. They are very happy that we sold their home…this is the 2nd contract since we listed it and in 3 weeks. We also sold them another home. However, I do not want to know their family history…talk about their highschool days…nor do I care to sit in a chair…miss supper and my favorite TV shows…cause they stay till 9 or so at night. Ok…feel bad but…hey, after you do your business…ya gotta have a life. Right?
OMG………………..It is nearly 10 and they are still here.
Poor mother…now , I feel bad.
CBB, Maybe she is enjoying the whole thing, from what you’ve said about your Mom she is a people person!!!
JI
CBB I’m so happy your SIL will finally be coming back. They deserve to have some time together and they didn’t get enough of that when they were married. Hopefully both of your SIL’s will be home for a long time.
I love Lola. She has been such a good thing for Taylor. She’s truly in his corner and I believe she was meant to help him through this rough patch.
I’m still up…got an email…hee hee…Adam Lambert video was sent from someone here…go ahead and post it friend. I LMAO…he must have been stuffing a sock in his britches. BUT…this is just too funny…see him in his highschool graduation…chubby, blonde…and sooooooooo off key in the end it made my perfect pitch scream. I have to agree with Clay…this guy…well…take a look.

LMAO CBB ..there are some funny videos out there for sure. I never would have pictured Adam with blonde hair. I don’t have perfect pitch but I know the spot that you were talking about. LOL
Well…my avatar has not changed. I am so mad. What gives? Sheesh!
I heard about the cell phone thing…and that they (AI) think that a violation and faulty voting happened. That is the biggest laugh for me because AI and TPTB screwed with the votes for many a season. They got caught the year before Taylor and could not doctor his season up…haha…what a bunch of liars.
I know that Clay won. Rueben was nice and had a nice voice…but I have no doubt that they fixed that one. Did not want a gay to win and I think he did win. I also think they knew that Clay was gay. They are all pieces of crap. They will continue to manipulate whenever they can.
Has anyone EVER EVER heard that you can’t text as much as you want? I voted for Taylor alot of the time and used 3 of the same text as the same time. Supposedly, they would not count them and had a way to know…so why now would they not have that security in place? LIARS. Their little twirp just did not win. Another screamer lost.
