Will the snow ever go away - Jan. 12, 2010


The picture of my home was taken today, Jan. 12, 2010. The snow that you see has been in my front yard since the big dec. 18th snow of 2009. You know, that was technically fall of last year, and we still have that stuff hanging around.


Hey, it will be February before you know it, that means that groundhog day is just around the corner. He always sees his shadow, so big deal. The Shrine's Provost Guard unit has teamed up with the Lakeland Masonic Lodge for a combination deal to make Valentines an awesome event. Lakeland Lodge will be holding a formal dinner as a fundraiser. It costs $45.00 per couple and starts seating every 30 minutes at 5 pm on Saturday Feb. 13th. Last year's dinner was fabulous. we had soup and salad with prime rib, baked potato and a huge slice of New York style cheese cake.

After the dinner, the Provost Guard unit sponsors the Valentine dance over at the Kazim Shrine Center with a live band, "Off the Cuff". There will be door prizes and raffles to raise money for the "Shriner's Children's Hospitals". You can win a pearl necklace and more. There will be food there too and all for $20.00 for a couple.

If you are interested, I can get you tickets to both or just for the dance, your choice. send me an email ghuffman4@cox.net.

They tell me the weather has finally changed down in Florida, but not without damages to the crops. We will be paying more for orange juice and strawberries for sure.

You know, for some reason, I was talking the other night about our country's past killers. Like, John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was shot later by Jack Ruby. We got around to the boy from Roanoke, that went down in Texas and shot up the fellow soldiers at Fort Hood. Hasan had some connection with the middle east. Well then someone mentioned Robert Kennedy's killer, Sirhan Sirhan. I didn't know much about this guy, accept he shot Robert Kennedy in 1968. Well, I encourage you to google his name and look under wikipedia. I was amazed with the events around this individual and how they were very simular to Hasan in 2009. Now keep in mind, I am not a person who swears by wikipedia, but I think you'll get the picture.
