I love this video. My daughter sent it to me. A hospital created the video to raise awareness of breast cancer. Caleb loves this video because everyone is dancing around and the scenes change so much. We had to watch it over and over and during the 8th time he fell asleep in my lap. When he woke up an hour later he took me by the hand and led me to the computer to play it again. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
Let me say that I love my son-in-law. Not because he fixed my computer over Thanksgiving. Although, I am very grateful for that. But because he loves my daughter very much and treats her with respect. As a Mother, I could not ask for more than that. I can tell when I speak with Samantha how happy she is with this man.
Ben is a youth minister at a church in Virginia and is very good at his job. The teenagers love him and respect him. He can be tough but he can also be silly. I did not know for a very long time exactly how silly Ben can be. If you meet Ben you will see that he is a bit of a geek. I mean that in the most wonderful of ways. We joke each week when we watch the Big Bang Theory on TV that Ben is a mixture of Sheldon and Leonard.
Ben loves to include videos in his youth group and I want to share a few with you. This is my favorite. I laugh out loud each time I see it.
Ben and Samantha take the teens on a Missions Trip each summer and they always return telling of what ways Christ worked in all of their lives. This past summer they went to Tennessee and helped people who desperately needed home repairs or lawn work done. Each evening they had church services and all of the kids were greatly blessed. Check out these videos.
We love you Ben. You are doing a wonderful job with both the church and our little girl.
Caleb must be reading my blog. I am on vacation this week and I kept Caleb two days this week. Yesterday he went to his bookshelf and brought me a book. He crawled up in my lap and had me read it to him twice. I have been dreaming of the time when he wanted me to read to him and couldn’t believe the book that he chose.
Anyone who has read this book knows that I cried through the ending. Yes, I cried through the ending twice while my innocent little grandchild sat cuddled in my lap listening to his grandma read. It was the most precious afternoon.
I will miss him so much next week when I go back to work. I have treasured our time together this week. He is such a good boy and so smart. He watches everything and repeats anything that he sees you do.
I knew that he liked Elmo so I brought up Youtube and for 45 minutes he sat on my lap watching videos. This one is his favorite. He just sings along with it at the top of his lungs. Of course grandma had to sing along too. That is the way it goes with Caleb. EVERYBODY sings. lol
He also liked this one.
I am not supposed to get Caleb today but will tomorrow. I miss him so much I may have to go pick him up once the Structural Engineer from the Insurance Company leaves. Remember the flood back in August? Well it caused structural damage under the house and my house is currently being supported with enormous jacks. It never ends around here.
OK I just spoke to Caleb’s mommy and I am going to get him. I can’t do without him today. It just seems wrong. Cya.
Well we watched another movie and loved it. I love action films that keep you guessing. Usually I can figure out who the bad guy is but this one keeps you guessing until the bitter end. Al Pacino did not disappoint. For those who want to see the movie trailer you can click below.
Saturday night Mike and I watched Valkyrie. Samantha knows that I am not a Tom Cruise fan but she insisted that I get this movie and I am so glad that she did. Mike and I are both big history buffs and I learned things from this movie that I had not known had happened.
I was very blessed to have a woman in my life that was in Germany during the time of Hitler’s reign. She was in the work camps and her entire family torn apart and sent to different camps. She was not Jewish but her brother had been in the military and he had sent a letter to her mother speaking against Hitler.
Germany’s military intercepted it and he, along with the rest of their family were sent to the camps to make an example to others. I thought of Mrs. Runyan while I watched this movie. I miss her deeply and even though she has been gone now for 9 years I still can remember the feel of her touch when she held my hand. She was such an amazing woman and I am a better person for having known her.
This movie shows the real personal sacrifices that people made to try to stop Hitler from within his own regime. This is the trailer for that movie.
My daughter, Samantha has me addicted to buying the used movies at Blockbuster. It makes so much more sense to me to do this as we can take weeks to watch the movies so it is nice to have them on hand for when we have time.
This past week we watched Missing In America with Danny Glover. We loved this movie. I took it to work with me and loaned it to several people and they also enjoyed it. I have never been disappointed with a movie with Danny Glover in it and this one is a keeper.
This is the trailer for the movie. I highly recommend seeing it.
This movie is a must see. If you are a fan of action movies you have to catch this one. I watched it with Samantha and Ben when we were there for vacation a couple of weeks ago. I loved it and so did my husband. I loaned it to several people at work and they loved it too.
Yes, Donna you can borrow it as soon as I get it back from a coworker. Check out the trailer.
I came across this man who plays the bagpipes like an angel. Then later I found another video of the same man playing the violin. Then again later he was playing an ancient form of wind instrument. This man is amazing. He is in a group called Celtic Wild and they are located in the UK. I told Mike I want to travel there just to listen to them play in person. Amazing. Did I mention he is amazing?:)
I don’t care what your political party is this video is funny. It has one bad word in it so just giving you a warning. Enjoy!!
My friend Shelly sent me this video today and I was amazed. You have to check out this wonderful woman’s no kill cat shelter. Amazing.
ETA: It has been brought to my attention that after you see the video you have an option to view other videos from under this one. Please do not click on them. One of them apparently depicts a cat being tortured. I have no control over what Youtube attaches to the video. This video is safe to view.
