That's my Mama and today she would've been 89 yrs. young! She went to be with my Dad & her family on April 20, 2006, and passed in her sleep. She was a feisty little girl, and always had to be in the lime light. She was a 4'10" bundle of joy and love. She played the accordion and the organ (that made her happy). She loved music, and loved to dance and have fun! She married my dad when he was in the service, and when she met him at the USO she danced with Donald O'Connor. He was an actor in Singing in the Rain with Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. She also danced with Ray Raynor. Anybody remember him. My big brother also took his footsteps on a pool table at the USO!
She was loved by everyone! I miss you mama! Tell everyone I said hello, and don't forget what I told you in the bedroom. May the Lord carry you through the sand while the Blessed Mother is holding your hand!

Juke Box Hero

He knows the owner Ron Onesti, of the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, and Greg (drummer) and his girl we all went, and we had the screaminest, rockinest, time including shakin' our booties! WOO HOO!

In an effort to raise money for Japan, actor Josh Duhamel (“When in Rome,” “Transformers” and the series "Vegas") is hosting a Relief Run in Santa Monica, CA this coming Sunday, March 27th, today!
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
On March 11th at 2:46 p.m., Japan experienced its largest earthquake in over 140 years. Soon after, a massive 10 meter high tsunami slammed onto Japan's coast, causing immeasurable human suffering and physical damage. Current OFFICIAL figures are that 10,151 people died and that over 17,000 are missing.
How can I help? a note from Josh
If you're like me, you've seen the pain and suffering going on in Japan right now, and really feel the need to help, to physically help-to actually DO SOMETHING. Well, we can! Join me on Sunday, March 27, 2011 for a 2 mile run on the beach in Santa Monica to raise funds for the Americas Red Cross's Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund.
O'Cedar does make my life easier that's for sure! This handy little number is heaven sent for me. I have a bad back, and now I don't have to squeeze the mop, get down for the corners or carry some old heavy bucket. With ProMist I don't have too!
The ProMist has a removable, refillable bottle for your favorite cleaning solution. Also, no squeezing the mop head out either. The ProMist has a removable, washable microfiber pad.
Dry or wet cleaning systemFeatures:
Microfiber pad grabs dirt and washes clean
No bucket needed
Refillable bottle - use your choice of cleaning solution
OCedar made my life easier. Their little jingle is true! So, all you ladies out there muscle up because it's time to get back to work. I know you have bad backs, but this mop takes all the hard work out of doing the job right including those tight corners, and when that mop head is dirty just throw it in the machine, hang it out to dry (I don't put mine in the dryer), and pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again! That mop-head cloth is made from Microfiber that grab's and holds on to dirt, dust, moisture, and leaves no residue. It traps the dust and dirt for a cleaner kitchen floor. Woo Hoo! I am the master of my own kitchen once again! I also like it because it's small enough (kind of like a broom) to fit in the corner this way if I spill something it's handy to just grab a hold of and clean it up right now!
PROMIST is my new right arm! Whether it's dry or wet cleaning, the swivel pad of PROMIST gets the job done! Washable pad and always fresh, and NO BUCKET NEEDED!
