The Fight Is On


On a much anticipated day, presidential hopeful John McCain announced his Vice President selection. In my humble opinion, it was a brilliant choice, a beautiful political move that I believe will help McCain move into the White House come January. Gov. Sarah Palin is a pro-life mother of five. Her husband is a member of the United Steel Union and a life long fisherman. Her son is soon to be deployed in the US Army fighting for freedom. She won a very competitive campaign in Alaska on Political Reform. I am still not a huge fan, a bandwagon rider, of John McCain, but todays announcement gives me a little more assurance that, we the Republican Party, will retain the White House.

The Marina




This week we took an evening and went to the Marina in Northumberland. It was a beautiful evening to sit and watch the boats coming and going and enjoying a few peaceful and serene moments. Justin and Kayla took there bikes and thoroughly enjoyed the paved paths to ride on.

Justin's Big Day

Justin's new day job!
Ready to go.
Photo sessions at 7:30 am.
Arriving safely.
His own desk.

Today is Justin's first day at school. Wow! How time has flown by. It was hard to see our little boy head off for this great adventure. The one we are used to hearing run around and play by the hour at home. But today it was much quieter. Kayla wasn't sure how to act. She said she didn't want Justin to go to school because she was going to miss her best friend. We all had that feeling as we drove the 24 miles to Penn View Christian Academy. None-the-less, he's there and starting his PVCA career. I found myself praying different times today for him, not only for strength and courage, but that God would even now help make the right choices and through his Christian education, help put a hunger in his heart to serve God.

Chatterbox Cafe

Once again, the Chatterbox Cafe has come and gone. With the help of this wild and wooly crew, we sold over $3,700.00 worth of finger-lickin', mouth-waterin', healthy, greasy food. We had a great time. Thanks guys for all your help. This year the Tolleys had these aprons made for all the workers. The picture is supposed to be a caricature of Matt Ellison. I must say the picture is very slimming!
