Randolph County Relay for Life 2007

Every time I attend one of these, I remember Dad walking the survivor lap back in 2002. He may have been the last one to cross the line, but he did it and I was so proud of him. Fast forward to 2007 and what is running through my mind is how over the past 5 year my luminaries have changed from In Honor to In Memory. Cancer sucks. If you have never attended a relay, I would say take time out and go, it is an amazing event and such a good cause. The sight of all those lighted bags around the track is a great way to honor those who have battled and continue to battle this dreadful disease. Between me, Mom, Jerry & Sharon, Kim, Candice and Jada, we had one corner of the track lit up with the luminaries that we had bought to honor our loved ones. Below is some of the pics.

Actually we had two corners are luminaries started on this corner and were mixed all the way around to the other corner.

View from the other side of the track.

These are a couple of Mom's and my bags that I grabbed before I left.

Oh hell yes it is time for another rant...so stop and surf somewhere else if you don’t want to listen. My question to anyone and everyone is why do people let dick heads and bitches hurt them time and time again and they forgive and act like everything is OK and start again like nothing ever happened. Give me a break. After a certain point I would think people would be smart enough to love them selves and tell the dick heads and bitches...CYA...I am through. What does it take to finally open ones eyes? Let me say this past weekend was big reality check. I will start by saying a Friend of mine had her ass kicked by her so called best friend who I will refer to as Cujo from here on out. And yes my Friend did not throw one punch back and why because that was her best friend. WTF! Yes, I understand that I would never hit my Best Friend either, but my Best Friend wouldn’t act like Cujo either at least I hope she wouldn’t and if it would happen I’d say GAME ON! Because in the first place if Cujo is hitting you she isn’t your friend let alone best friend. And second if my Best Friend is hitting me then something else has taken over her body and I would fight like hell to protect myself. GAME ON! My Friend I will support no matter what, but Cujo can bite me. (Maybe I shouldn’t have used that comment but that was nicer than what I really wanted to say) I no longer want to waste any of my time around her. In time my Friend will forgive Cujo and be happy again…until the next time that always happens. WHY? WHY? WHY?

Next weekend whammy...which I just found out today...but have had that funny feeling all weekend like something was up in Vegas. And yes it involves my Best Friend...No she didn’t lay a hand on me. But her low life ex headed out to Vegas. No warning...just SURPRISE...Well if he wants to go out there be a MAN...get your own place, get a job...do things right. Not quit your job, go to Vegas and mooch off your ex. Him and Cujo belong in the same cage. They both have hurt the people they are supposed to care about time and time and time again. When is enough, enough? What I love is the year’s comments like she’s been my best friend for 15 years or I was married to him for 21 years. WTF? Well in one night she beat the shit out of you and he screwed around on you and hit you, but it’s their lives and so be it. I will always be there for my Best Friend and my Friend, Cujo and the ex I will have nothing to do with. Can’t stand them and don’t want to be around either one of them. I have no room in my life for people like that, plus they are not related so I don’t have to have them anywhere near me.

My choice because it is my life, plus with my temper it is better not to be around them because my mouth will surely not know when to shut up. I would like to say so how do you feel now that you beat up your best friend or you must really love your wife and kids to have screwed someone else and also what a big man you are to have hit your wife in front of your kids. Oh hell ya, I could go on and on, I could bring up a beer bottle, jumping a ditch landing in a field, biting, being lazy, running to Momma, stealing money and my all time favorite that the ex and Cujo have mastered...LYING. I have a whole arsenal of information but out of respect for my Best Friend and Friend, I say nothing when I see the dick head and bitch in the same vicinity of my Best Friend and Friend. That is why I love this blogger...Let's me Vent because there is not enough Miller Lite to get me through this SHIT!!!!!

Happy 16th Birthday Emma Lie....Love ya!

Morgan Reunion 2007

If I remember I started this reunion back in 2000, because as I put it on the first invitation it seemed to take an act of God to get the Morgan clan together. This day has always been all about Dad and Mom. As our family goes we are lucky to say that Charles Herbert and Betty Mae are our parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Dad is truly missed each and every day, but especially on this day. I know when he was alive you could see the joy in his eyes and still to this day you see the joy in Mom’s eyes as they watch their kids, grand kids and great grand kids roaming around the pavilion. Roaming is a nice way to put it, but anyone who knows the Morgan’s knows that it is more like running a muck reeking havoc on some poor victims.

Our Motto is: We put the FUN in dysFUNctional!

That says it all…enjoy the pics from Reunion 2007!!!

Jada Bird says CHEESE!

All I remember is CC and Kenny yelling at me when I hit a ball in the water...

They yelled: You going swimming Red?

Yeah, they are true Morgans that can come up with the smart ass comments at the right time.

In Loving Memory of Rick Jackson

Every time I think of Rick, his humor is what comes to mind. I can remember him and Dad firing jokes left and right. There was always laughter which is what this world needs. These are some pics that Mom had.
Anyone want to put a caption to this one...

Rick Jackson 12/11/46-05/18/07

When you speak of him speak not with tears

for thoughts of him should not be sad.

Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort

for his life was rich because of you.

And though for now you had to part,

though to part he did not choose;

he'll be with you along life's path,

Forever In Your Heart.

Dixie, Ricky, Keri and Angie you are in my thoughts and prayers.
