There's nothing more respectable and honorable then helping your fellow man.  We had the opportunity to witness this in action last Friday night on the steps of the old courthouse in downtown Deland.  The county firefighters, not named as I'm not sure on the rules governing this, entertained the crowds with a humorous rendition of 'Men in Tights' for the Relay for Life Cancer Fund. Great job guys!  We really enjoyed the show.  Wish I had gotten a video.  (If anyone did, please send it to me?  )

I came across this quiz while visiting Betty and decided to give it a go.  Lol, very fitting!  Especially, that last sentence as I've just been promoted to Supervisor of our office which means I'm the boss!  Too bad I can't be bare foot at work!  I am SO jealous of all of you that get to be full-time stay at home, homeschooling moms! I love my job, but it takes away from being a mom.

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

The soft-coral-rich Sepok Wall and Kirby's Rock are spectacular and inhabited by so many anthias.  Basura, a muck/sand dive, is well-known among macro enthusiasts.

Puerto Galera and Verde Island are a 45-minute banca ride from Batangas.

I've been tagged by Elissa of Christian Unschooling to list 7 random things about myself and then tag 7 other people.   So here goes:

1) I drive a 4x4 Jeep and have been wanting to either trade it in for a 4x4 truck, stick shift, king cab, nice lift kit, diesel dodge ~ Cummings engine, of course, or to get one as a second vehicle. Would love it if it came with a four or five horse trailer to boot!

I found this quiz over at Lynn's and (of course) had too give it a go.  Now I know why I never use my real name .

What Vickisue Means

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
