Unfortunately, today finds a dark cloud over our family. My daughter-in-law's father, Jim, has been taken to the hospital with an incurable condition. We're not sure if this could be his time of passing or not.<br /><br />It simply breaks my heart knowing that his small grandchildren will never know the wonderful grandfather who loved them so much. Being only in his early 50's, this was so unexpected in the long-term scheme of things.<br /><br />I am praying for strength for him and his wife Tony at this difficult time.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3363029282173719914-1539076947977507761?l=techiegrandmasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Techie Grandma's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021217164198982755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363029282173719914.post-41191370472783079032009-08-28T11:26:00.001-07:002009-08-28T11:40:34.159-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/SpghoKtGp4I/AAAAAAAAACI/jKzKKEZaVJs/s1600-h/zzzz.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/SpghoKtGp4I/AAAAAAAAACI/jKzKKEZaVJs/s320/zzzz.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375083129218705282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/SpghcH6R7QI/AAAAAAAAACA/Qd8yGmpfZhA/s1600-h/Bathing+beauty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/SpghcH6R7QI/AAAAAAAAACA/Qd8yGmpfZhA/s320/Bathing+beauty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375082922310233346" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">This is my new baby brother, Grant.

Being 100% Italian, I could feel my mouth watering as the movie downloaded.<br /><br />I was quite impressed at the ease of the whole process. I am glad that this assignment required me to do this. I had never taken the time to do it on my own. I hope our patrons have had a better track record than I did.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3363029282173719914-4086811797504965579?l=techiegrandmasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Techie Grandma's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021217164198982755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363029282173719914.post-29716647200092673782009-05-13T18:31:00.000-07:002009-05-14T09:53:07.006-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/Sgt1MzOOEWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wPl-ADvTtzU/s1600-h/Birthday+3+%282%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 189px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mhm0jOciUbI/Sgt1MzOOEWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wPl-ADvTtzU/s320/Birthday+3+%282%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335487046319214946" border="0" /></a><br />Meet Devin.
