Memo

"For sale:baby shoes,never worn."- a famous 6-word story attributed to Ernest Hemingway


If any of you have never heard of my Uncle Roy and his Monday Morning Memo you are missing out. I want to say that his memo this Monday was “spot on” in his message about our dire economic circumstance. I love to read the thought process of intelligent people. Anyone who has never seen my Uncle’s website here is the link: http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/ Please feel free to visit and sign up for his Monday Morning Memo that will enlighten you to his wonderful world of advertising and theories of “life”. Today’s message was titled Please Don’t Throw Me in the Briar Patch. I LOVED his message. One of the things I am proud of is the fact that I come from an EXCEPTIONAL family. Starting, with my own father Daniel Denny and his family, who built houses in my home town of Owasso. I am also proud of my Grandma and Grandpa Compton. They began a legacy of friendship and faith many years ago, and in the past few weeks it shows how many people are touched by their friendship. Their friends have shown tremendous love and support for my grandpa, Paul Compton. My Grandpa has fallen under health problems that doctors have not yet pinpointed to a definite diagnosis. All I know is he is a testament that there are earthen angels that walk amongst us. (He is truly an angel in disguise, but that is between you and me.)

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the
