We may be all worried about the socialist overtures of this president, but do not let the little things go unnoticed. This guy is working at break neck speed to unravel our country. He has to, his approval rating is sinking like a brick in a pool. As more and more people hear about, not only his plans but, his actions....they are starting to wake up to the fact that he does not represent main streams attitudes about family, religion, liberty and the fact that our country is GREAT.

Keep the kids close.....cool!
My senior has asked to have an outdoor movie night tonight. Her Literature class had to read Sea Biscuit over the summer and they thought it would be fun to get together and watch The Biscuit. Last year Chris and I made an outdoor movie screen.....before you go and call us the Rockafoleys like one of my buddys does....We made it out of a king size sheet, two plumbing conduits, a couple of pieces of rebar, some gromuts and rope. Total cost, under $20! We borrow a projector from www.showmecables.com (blatant plug)and there ya go!
The quality is actually pretty amazing.....anyway....
It has always been our dream to have the place where kids feel comfortable and have fun. They won't be here for long, so a good Friday for us is watching these kids enjoy themselves, laugh and watch the "Biscuit".

First Day at School again.......Cool!
This is the first year that I did not follow the bus to school. Denise even seemed a bit sad not to see me sprint to my car after we kissed our little people before they ran up the bus steps.
Chris joined his sister at middle school this year. No more elementary kids....so no more following the bus. I don't think Chris would appreciate it anymore....he proudly wore his Lancer football jersey and set off to his new school.
Of course Taylor and Jessica had to get a ride into school today.....they could not be seen on the yellow train of shame!
All in all, it was probably the least emotional off to school day we have ever had....boy are we getting old!
Study hard little people!

An American Revolution......cool?
Take a peak at this article from the American Thinker. It will take you 5 minutes to read. The main point concerns the amount of concessions we, the American people, have made in the past 10 months in regards to OUR government taking control of private institutions.

A perfect day.......very cool
10,000 Maniacs sang:
These are the days
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it,
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
A great song and time for me to reflect on a terrific day yesterday.
A rare day here ....all the girls are floating this weekend with the Girl Scouts....now before you say, that's what was great....no not at all. It did change my house to the "man cave" for the weekend however.
The weather....95 degrees with a nice warm breeze.......Bright blue sky
My son's first tackle football game at 7:45
Got up early and cooked him up a man breakfast....lots of bacon, eggs and toast!
The game was a scrimmage of all the Jr Lancers from 6th grade to High School attended. They had the little guys stretch out with the big guys. 200-250 players all lined up grunting and shouting and getting revved up....it was .....manly.
Then we decide to go ice sledding.....yup....Chris, his buddy Gavin and I went to a County park and slid down hills on blocks of ice. We were so filthy at the ned we needed to change for the ride home....Excellent Time!
The park was about an hour a way.....GREAT ride....we had the weather, the top down, great tunes....and of course 25 cent slushies.....both ways!!.(.the Cards had scored at least 6 runs the day before).
We get home and break out the man dinner. Denise had given me Omaha Steaks for my birthday....so Chris and I cooked up two filet migons with bacon wraps, potato slices and sweet potato slices....onions and red peppers on the grill. We broke out the little dining tables and ate in front of the big screen. The flick.....we rented "The Bridge on the river Kwai" This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid....It still was great and Chris loved it.
Topped off the evening with an intermission to Silkys......
Didn't hit the rack until 11pm....
could it get any better?
great day.....Thanks Chris!

Very scary prediction.......not so cool
This speech was given by Ronald Reagan back in 1961. LISTEN to this! It will take a few minutes but it's worth it.
It's amazing how insightful Reagan was....no wonder he became president.
BTW....I was not at the time a Reagan fan and did not vote for him!

Summertime is just cool........
My clan has had a very busy summer this year.
Our big event was a family cruise....and I mean family! My in-laws hosted 16 of us on a 9 day Caribbean cruise. Absolutely top shelf and I was able to play hoop everyday "on the boat"
If you have never been on a cruise....well Royal Caribbean is one of the best. The customer service on a cruise is simply heads and shoulders to any hotel I have ever stayed at.
The kids loved their freedom, and the adults loved the food! I was little weary of the rocking, but I did not feel sea sick at any time. It was an outstanding time to spend with Denise's side of the family. Thanks Mom and Dad!
We then spent a week in CT with my side of the family. We went to a family reunion...Yeah Fried Dough!, We went to a family wedding. We had a BBQ at my brothers, we pulled together a small reunion of college friends...visited with some of our oldest and closest friends....busy week.
Jessica spent a week in Washington with HOBY....then we were all finally back together in St Louis.
We have had two "Dive-ins" this year. It's when we have a bbq.....swim a bit and then host an outdoor movie. Last year Chris and I built a screen out of a bed sheet, rope and plumbing conduit...it works great and it only cost me $20.
Chris has started Tackle Football!! I will post some video and pictures when I get them!
Jess and Taylor will be starting soccer next week. Shelby has decided to not play this year and plans to join the play at school.
Denise has now become a full time volunteer at the HS......at least it seems that way!
And I am back happily selling cables....
more later....I promise!

How have ya been?, havn't seen you in a while?....not cool!
As Dave Mason sings....How have ya been?, havn't seen you in a while?
I have again fallen off the train of blogging. I am a little overwhelmed with the amount of information that is hitting me in the face each day. Am I watching too much Fox network and listening to too much right wing radio? I don't know....I am addicted. The political landscape is very scary. I could list 10 things that I could rip on...
I really strongly recommend that you watch Fox at night. Catch O'Rielly, Hannity, Gretta or Beck. There is a lot of information that each of us need to know.
On a personal note we have a bunch of great stuff happening at our ranch along with a bunch of great stuff that has happened in the past few months.
So I will start with the personal stuff and ramp back up to my rants!
