1. She has never stopped loving me no matter what.
2. She makes the best meatloaf.
3. She took care of me whenever I was sick.
4. She drove me to the library for story hour.
5. She took me to the movies (of course she fell asleep every time, but now I see why because I do the same thing.
6. She showed me how important it was to love and honor God.
7. She is the world's best gardener.
8. She was known as the "skull lady" because she would bring her vast skull collection to display at my schools.  
9. She never missed a performance when I was in band or choir.
10. She ran the mom taxi and did it safely for many years.
11. She took good care of all of our animals on the farm.
12. She often took us to the Ohio State Fair.

Just Watched "Letters to Juliet"

My wife and I just finished watching Letters to Juliet on Dish Network on demand. We enjoyed the flick and thought it was a cute love story. We only wished it had given us a little bit more at the end instead of just a kiss and a smile.

One funny note about the movie is that Shelly and I thought that Christopher Egan looks like the love-child of Matt Damon and Ryan Phillippe. We googled it to see if anyone else was saying the same thing and most people were saying that he looks like a cross between Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. We didn't really see the resemblance with Heath, but we certainly saw the cross between Matt and Ryan.

I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a romantic movie to enjoy with their special someone.

Where are they now?

Two of my favorite Penn State Football players have been Michael Robinson and Daryll Clark. What I find most unfortunate is how both have disappeared in football after college. Michael Robinson was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers as a running back and never to be heard from again. Daryll was not even drafted after 2 very good years of running the Nittany Lion offense. What a shame especially for Daryll as he had a very good athletic build to be an NFL quarterback. They both left their mark on Penn State, but unfortunately I don't think either will get a valid chance in the NFL to show what they can do, especially as quarterbacks.
