She worked so hard going back to school while raising her twin sons and getting her degree in nursing. She never planned on working, but when her husband suddenly passed away leaving her on her own with the two boys she had no other choice and we are all so proud of her. The whole family pitched in to help her get this far, but that is what family is for. The twins were passed around from relative to relative for a good while there, but actually I think it all worked out for the best since the twins are now so very close with many relatives that I really don’t think they would have been if not for all the baby sitting duties that were necessary to get her where she is today.

I know that she reads this blog from time to time, so I’d like her know how proud we all are of her and to let her know that we will all be there for her and her kids when ever she needs us. Being an uncle is more fun than I ever expected and I look forward to teaching the boys football, baseball, soccer, what ever they want and need from me, anything other then changing their diapers!

They all ready have had Direct TV for some time now and we were all in a state of shock when we went over there to find Dad kicking back watching one of the many sport channels that they offer their subscribers. He finally threw away the old rabbit ears and joined the billions of people that are now be offered more channels than they could ever want or need.

Now they are looking into finding a good home security system to have installed in their home. There have been a rash of home break ins in their neighborhood and it has got them a bit spooked. Of course Dad is sure that his shot gun can take care of anyone breaking into the house, but Mom has talked him into using more modern and legal methods. So they went online and typed in “home security huntsville” and came up with a few options that they are now seriously looking into.

These are all good positive things that are going on with them and I’m really proud of both of them.

There are so many reasons to switch to Satellite TV these days. A good site to find information like this can be found at Alliedsatellitetv.com. I’ve bookmarked the site in order to show my folks all the pluses that will go along with their new subscription that comes with free equipment for them to use in the various rooms that they have their TVs in. I’m sure that once they get used to it they will appreciate all the qualities that Direct TV has to offer. It’s not getting any easier to find gifts to give them for all the gift giving holidays that come throughout the year that they will use and enjoy in their “golden years”!

I am currently recording every episode of Friday Night Lights on my DVR. This season is the final season of FNL, and I want to be sure to catch every episode. I’m constantly re-watching old episodes, and my DVR helps me to do that in a convenient way. It is user-friendly, and it helps me keep track of all my recordings by the name of the show and the date on which it was recorded. I record FNL on Wednesday nights on the 101 Network via my TV Sports in HD.

Friday Night Lights is constantly rejuvenating itself. It has graduated the entire original cast of high schoolers, and it’s still as interesting and entertaining as it ever was. During the past two years, it has introduced several new and exciting characters. Vince Howard and Becky Sproles are my favorite new characters. Vince is a tough kid from a tough neighborhood. He started out running from the law, and now he’s a star quarterback being recruited by top universities. Becky grew from an annoying character at the beginning of last season into a likeable girl with true-to-life problems. Her pseudo-romance with Tim Riggins was believable, and it made me sad when he went off to prison last year. Now she’s being romanced by Luke Cafferty, another guy I can’t help but root for.

The Horizon has indoor and outdoor pools, hut tubs, over 80 golf courses to offer. It only opened two years ago, in 2008 and is doing well for itself right in the heart of Myrtle Beach. They have a user friendly website, http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com that can fill the other siblings in on what I’m voting for.We don’t have much time left, so doing all of this online is going to be a time saver all the way around. My parents will certainly be happy with this year’s Christmas gift, I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to play a few rounds of golf in the Myrtle Beach South Carolina area.

I remember looking at the School Lockers in the hall ways and thinking how little the Lockers have become since I was in school.  They are now half the size of what they used to be, I don’t know how these kids are managing to cram everything that they need into them. During the winter months with your coats, boots, mittens, umbrellas and the like it must be a real hassle for the poor kids.

Now my Gym Locker was small, if I remember correctly it was a Wood Locker, which was a poor choice, in my opinion, since  wood absorbs odors and we all know how smelly our gym clothes were back then. Now a days they don’t even make the kids take a shower after gym class, which is something that we always were made to do each and every day.

Anyway, I had a few minutes to spare last night and found myself looking at the variety of Lockers for sale on the Internet. We have come a long way baby, but I still think that they need to give today’s students bigger Lockers.
