WARNING

We've been back from vacation almost a week now. I'm trying to get caught up but it's not easy accomplishing even the most routine tasks when you've got four dogs and three puppies needing attention....and they're so cute. I simply enjoy letting them all out in the yard and watching them.

I especially enjoyed the Olympics last night, seeing the two young American girls take the gold and silver, whoohoo!! They've worked so hard, nice to see it pay off for them.

It's so cool being close to family, finally. This morning, my brother-in-law is gonna come help Mark with one of his projects. Couldn't do that while living in New England or even Western Kentucky. Thank you God for the wonderful blessing of living near my family.

I was thinking this morning about these young kids going off to college for the first time. I wish I could go back and warn my kids about some of the things that I hadn't been aware, at the time, would so adversely affect them as college students.

If you have someone going off to school warn them about credit card offers and fast food. Wow, what a one two punch that can be for a young person. They give you free t-shirts with every credit card and even pay you if you can sign up your friends. I know we've probably warned our children about purchases on credit cards, but did you ever think to warn them about how dangerous it can be to put fast food purchases on these cards, debit or credit? Try to dissuade them if you can. Fast food purchases add up quickly. Before you know it, the credit card balances and the unhealthy pounds are weighing your child down.

It's nice to see Donnie and Marie on GMA this morning, still a fan. The reading of the upperroom was again one of my all time favorites. I confidently believe that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of our Heavenly Father. If you haven't read Romans 8:28-39, I highly recommend it

Have a great day, luv, Susan
