NO WAY!!!

Who else is stunned? Really up until the night of the final performances I thought David Cook would win but after the finals I couldn't see how Archie could lose! I can't believe it. But still, he is amazing and will have a long and amazing career. Can't wait to see him grow!
Go David! What a class act he is.

it's been a long, long, long time...

A Beatles song don't ya know!
Speaking of Beatles I understand David A. will be singing Imagine again! Good choice. David C. will sing U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. This entire season David C has sung songs i was hoping Archie would sing! I'm bummed. It will just be good to have this over as it has messed with me like crazy. i really need to move on. Unless David A wins and then I will be sad it's over and I don't get to watch him anymore. I did purchase the video of him singing Stand By Me so I can watch him when it's history.
Any how about the news flash that AI will recruit right here in SLC next season. That's so cool!
I was proud of my bro. Dave for working with a school for autistic kids here in Davis Co. where Henry Marsh's son goes to sponsor a baseball game for them with the Utah Sting. It was a great thing to do and the kids seemed to have a great time. Way to go!
K so that's all for now. Don't forget to vote!
Thought of the day comes from Viktor Frankl in Man's Search for Meaning: "Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it."
'til next time.

A weekend to remember!

Had a great weekend at my boy's home in Philly. Went to the diviest diner for breakfast that had great food. The kids were darling and I had a great time running races with the girls in the backyard and reading to the boy my favorite childhood book "A Brother the Size of Me." When we finished it he asked me if I would leave it there so he could read it again. Cute and precious boy!
I showered, bathed and put the kids to bed while our son and Mike went to Shine a Light. They loved it, but I'll bet I had the best time of all with the little ones!
Monday I took the train with my boy to Philly. He went to work while I explored and experienced the historic district of Philly and then did a little shopping downtown. Got April Cornell dresses for $15 a piece! Hope my daughter-in-law approved! Then I met my boy for lunch at the amazing new Comcast building. What a view we had. He even rode the train one stop with me to make sure I got on okay with my bags. It was wonderful to be with him and the grandkids. I miss them already!
And a random thought: Go David Archuletta! How about that rendition of Love Me Tender? Amazing!
Sleep tight!
