Holiday and Holland...who would have thought??

r

Since this is a long weekend for me because my office is going to be closed on Monday, I am going to take advantage of the time off and spend time with some family that is coming over from Holland.

My husband's family are coming over for a visit. It is his Aunt Gusta. I can't wait to meet her, I am so excited. I really want to get the chance to go there and visit with her in Amsterdam as well some day.

I am also hoping to get some writing done and editing. I have another book idea floating around in my head but have a lot of unfinished business to take care of as well.

Also has anyone heard from our wonderful friend Laura Kaponer?? I haven't heard from her for some time and am missing her. So if anyone is in communico with her please tell her hello and that I miss her. Thank you.

Also, I did splurge and buy myself the purdiest little gadget...the iphone 4. I love it so. I am obsessed with it already and I have never owned one before. Please, no negative comments...let me enjoy my high. Now I can be internet friendly from my phone. Yeah.

Alright my precious friends. Please be careful and enjoy your holiday and weekend.

Important Warning for Drivers!!

Yeah, so I received this email from someone else in my area. I live in Indiana...but this still may pertain to any of you traveling the roads. Please beware. I don't want anything happening to all my new, great, entertaining friends.


Wayne County Sheriff's Department Alert - PLEASE READ AND FORWARD!!!

        On the way to Canton, driving on Michigan Avenue , on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it  I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head.  But when I got to my
destination, I called the Canton PD and they  were going to check it out. This is what I was told...

        "Several things to be aware of  ... gangs and thieves, are now plotting different ways to get a person to "stop" their vehicle.

        "There is a gang initiation reported by the local police department that gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the baby. Note that the location of this car seat will usually be beside a wooded or grassy (field) area ...and the person - woman - will be dragged into the woods- beaten and raped- usually left for dead.  DO NOT STOP.  DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW!!!


        "IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD.  DO NOT TURN ON YOUR WIPERS AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER ON IT BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOMES MILKY AND YOU'LL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE!!!!  YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THIEVES.  THIS IS A  NEW  TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS.  PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND
RELATIVES.    THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."

        Please talk to your loved ones about this.  This is a new tactic used and I would hate for anyone to fall victim to this kind of crime.

        Please BE SAFE AND NEVER STOP YOUR VEHICLE

Because want you all to be safe.
