Story Behind "Peter"

My brother, Doug, is 8-years older than I am. He went into the Navy in 1982. I was 11and VERY MUCH a Tom-boy. "Tagging" along behind him and Daddy whenever we went and chored. I loved to be with them both. Anyway, in 1985, (I think) that was when he was in the Philipines and all we got were phone calls from him and Shelley was already gone to college, so all there was at home was me, mom and dad. So when that commercial came on I would sit and dream of "My Doug" coming home and surprising us. I was so young and not so bright. So I would sit and cry when that commercial would come on. I am so glad that I could find it on You Tube. If you watch it and check out the full-length version, that one really makes me BAWL. Sorry, Doug, but I did and still do. ;)

Thank you Frances for commenting on my blog. And thank you everyone for checking it out, it really means ALOT to me. If it were not for my BABY, I wouldn't even be having a blog. I love you, Baby. I am so proud of you



This is our new venture. It is VERY EXCITING to be able to work right beside you, Baby. I can't wait to get this started. "This" by the way, is our Disciple's Cross. We will be making these from home and we are going to be selling them along with my Baby's woodcrafts. They come in a Rainbow of colors, and oh, so pretty. I can't wait. We are both so excited. Thank you all. I am going to sign off of here and we are going to bed.

We both worked very hard today. We went up and raked Grandma and Grandpa's leaves down to the road and we got to play "pyro". I love to play with fire. Especially when it is just leaves or our burning pile. We sure did burn alot and rake alot. So we are both wore out.

So remember go to bed and let your Baby hold you real tight and forget about your day. Good night all.

That commercial still makes me cry every time I see it. Glad to know I'm not the only one. ;)
