I knew this would happen. I was just waiting to hear the words. On her blog, Rosie O'Donnell, now says she was like a 'foster child' when she came to The View and she never fit in with 'the family' so now the foster child is moving on.
She is THE VICTIM!! You had to know that would happen. She is evidently not responsible for any of what happened. She was just not appreciated, not accepted. She was a victim!
She and her head writer appear on her blog and laugh about the writer drawing a mustache on Elizabeth's face as she was leaving. They did not seem to see anything wrong with that. It was such a childish act. But Rosie IS childish and so is her writer. I am sure there will be more to come.
Today is the day we remember those who have given their lives for our country. A time to remember those who died defending our freedom.
Many of us will be gathering with family and friends today for a cookout and some fun. There will be laughter and good times. We will enjoy the freedom we so often take for granted.
However, there will be families today who will be grieving because they have lost a son, a daughter, a husband, a wife, a father, a mother. Let's remember them today and say a prayer for them all. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
A weekly meme for giving thanks and/or for noting important events in our lives.
1. I had a wonderful evening Friday with my friend Julie. We went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory (YUM) and then to see "Waitress". What a fun movie. Very well acted and FUNNY! I recommend it highly. I am thankful to have friends.
2. My sweet husband is preaching on Sunday Morning and I am looking forward to hearing him. Since he has not been pastoring a church I have not gotten to hear him as often and I miss it.
3. We attended the wedding of a dear friends' son on Saturday. We have know the son since he was born and he has become a fine young man who is pursuing a call to ministry. We felt so proud of him as we watched him take a wife. What a blessing.
4. I got to feel my grandbaby move Saturday. It was so exciting. What a miracle it is!
5. School is out for the summer and I am happy for the teachers and the students. I know the teachers need the rest and the students need a break. Having taught myself, I have a great deal of respect for those who teach. It is a job that pays far too little in my opinion.
6. I am thankful for "Breath Rite Strips". Now that I am using them, I sleep better and my husband says my 'purring' is not as bad as it used to be!!
7. We had our son and DIL over on Saturday evening for dinner. It is so nice to have them close and be able to eat together occasionally.

I am SO sad. I just heard that Rosie has decided to go ahead and leave The View earlier than expected. It all stems from her blow-up with co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
Rosie is hurt that Elizabeth did not 'defend' her when people questioned her about Rosie's comment about our troops being terrorists. Elizabeth was trying to get Rosie to explain her comment herself so that it would be clear. Rosie thought that Elizabeth should have explained her statement! What IS her problem? Why should someone else have to explain her words?
Rosie's comment about the troops was unconscionable. She quoted a specific number of dead Iraqis and then said, "So, who's the terrorist?" Now, how do YOU interpret that? Sounds like she is calling our troops terrorists to me! I hope she just goes home and fades into the woodwork. I am SO tired of her complaining, her grandstanding, her anger and her venom. She is an angry, bitter, sad person.
APPETIZER
Name a sound you like to hear.
It is hard to narrow that down there are many but I will have to say I love hearing my husband's voice.
SOUP
What is your favorite kind of cheese?
I love sharp cheddar, especially when it is melted on sourdough bread in the oven. YUM!
SALAD
Do you sleep late on Saturday mornings? Why or why not.
I used to but now if I sleep until 7am or 7:30am on Saturday I feel I am sleeping in!
MAIN COURSE
When was the last time you forgot something. What was it and how long did it take to remember it?
Well, as soon as I remember it, I will let you know!!!!
DESSERT
Fill in the blank: I notice ___________ when ____________.
I notice my joints creaking when I get up from a chair!!!
