LOVE RIVERBANK PROJECT


On Saturday our town gathered together for the "Love Riverbank"program. We had over 200 volunteers that showed up to help out.. My Assistant Pastor and his Wife were asked to be in charge of the program this year. They along with our Mayor Richard Obrian and some locals put a lot of time and and effort in to planning the event.Which turned out great.We had Eight projects going on.Cleaning the Parks, some of the streets that were over grown by weeds and litter, taking food to our Fire department and cleaning the local library.It was so nice working along side other people who live in our Community and getting to know new people.

 Just wanted to blog about it,  in this day and age there are still a lot of good people out there willing to come together for there city and make a difference.
We also celebrated Earth day at Jacob Meyer's Park.The park is a Family oriented park no alcohol allowed,pets must be on a leash, The park was packed full to capacity with people walking around and contributing to our local businesses.A lot of good food to choose from,they even had a duck race down the river. For $1.00 you purchased a yellow rubber duck and the winner of the duck race won $100. (I lost lol ) Kids were splashi g in the river having agreat time.So all and all it was a fun filled day for our Community.

    P.S. You might want to think of getting rid of Word Verification if you want to increase your readership. It seems to keep bloggers away. Just a friendly suggestion:)

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
