<span style="font-size: large;">A little history, early in December </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a little Face Book group was started called</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">MARTIN COUNTRY ROCKS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Simple little idea where kids and adults paint </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">plain old rocks and hide them all over town.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today this little group has grown to over 7600 members.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Occasionally I get a TO ME FROM ME gift for Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THIS YEAR I got the ultimate #<i>TOMEFROMME</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Workbox 3.0, I have been eyeing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this <strike>little</strike> giant gift for a while now </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Christmas was the perfect opportunity to indulge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My gift was delivered on Friday, all whopping 680 lbs. packed in 5 different cartons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's say I was taken back a bit and overwhelmed at the sight of it, not to mention </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wanting to tear into the thing the moment it was delivered. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However being the mature adult that I am I called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my handyman and scheduled him for a Tuesday date. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Well, COME ON TUESDAY!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wnJRlDQN1gQ" width="480"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll keep you updated!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Wishing you Health, Happiness and lots of Creativity!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b><i>SOLUTION!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a very simple APP that saves one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(or more if you like) photo every day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>It's called COLLECT.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to think of it as saving a MEMORY a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I urge you to take less than 5 minutes a day so you can see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your memories that most likely will be forgotten...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">LET'S DO THIS!</span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go to the APP store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SEARCH for the APP </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This morning I awoke to a beautiful day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But most of us know this isn't any day...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It will be a day <b>SEARED</b> in our hearts and minds.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bell rings for a moment of silence and....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Last year in a private preschool </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">she was allowed to pay tribute to our FLAG.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When asked if she says the</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Pledge of Allegiance this year in public school </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">"No but we did in my old school".</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My answer was a definite "yes".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing to scare her little, 5 year old mind</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> simply explain this day, each year,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">is important to Americans</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If we observe it each year,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">more understanding will develop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I imagine when she is 15 years old we will think </span></div>

Please let me explain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started my blog 8 years ago.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a time that we had to walk 5 miles to school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in 2 feet of snow in the blog world.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We were crafting yesterday </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and catching up on lots of projects</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and I was asked about my blog </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I said "I am no longer blogging."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Of course the question why? </span></div>

let the dog out and turned to go back inside </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It took me back a little...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sun was shining after a few gray and cloudy days and it lit up my home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It was a true reflection of how I was feeling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had a few "cloudy" health days in the past few years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

to post (in essence share) the reflection of my energy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully my "forecast" is for a warm and sunny summer</div>
