On Tony Stewart

The very shocking ruling came down today that the DA in the Tony Stewart case involving a death at a east coast short dirt track, is being handed over to the local grand jury.
It seems to me that the local PD did their investigation very thoroughly and decided they didn't want to be the one's to announce case or no case, so they handed the HOT case over to the DA which took their sweet time of say yea or nae and they decided to had the HOT case over to the Grand Jury NY.
I am stunned it's escalated to this stage to be honest, but when I look at the bloody feeding frenzy the Media has just day's after the ACCIDENT, I'm not surprised Tony has been tried and convicted in the press.
And to the uninformed non racing people who have no idea what happened, who weren't at the track when the accident happened, spuing their no sense opinion on a subject they know nothing about, but isn't that the way it is today???? 
Tony is NOT guilty of manslaughter or anything else it was a terrible racing accident which was cause my a driver after he decided he would get out of his race car to show he's not happy with Tony about whatever it was he was upset about.  The first rule in racing is you do not ever get out of you car on a race tracking after a accident until the safety team as arrived and secures the area around the car, period.
I'm very sad this young man died, and for the untold grief his family is going through right now. I'm also very sad for Tony who is a very good man and wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone, he's a race car driver.
Those are my thoughts on a very emotionally charged situation right and that's all I have to share on this very sad subject.

Starting Fresh With the Beginning of Fall

It's been almost a year since I posted it's amazing to see how time flew this in 2014 here we are at the end of September and it feels like I just finished my last post, oh well, moving on to Fresh Starts. 
It doesn't need to be the beginning of a new year to start Fresh and make changes, that will happen all year as I am learning.
I haven't been myself for a long while and I had to take this journey I've been on the last 2 years to get here, today feeling FRESH feeling like Melanie is finally taking control, and starting to get back into my groove.
I'm here to say that it's rough in our world today but like the Lord has taught us we are to lay all our concerns at his feet and trust in him, for he will take us where we are suppose to be. 
With that said, I'm going to spruce up my webpage to fit me, I'm going to be focusing on what matters to me, not to anyone elce.  I would hope that you will find meaning and maybe a idea or two. 
I love cooking so I will be posting some yummy receipies and I'm going to ask my close friends to also post here.
I love NASCAR and of course I will rant on that subject when the need arises lol which may start today, I'm speaking of the Tony Stewart situation.
So, there you have it, I know I've lost followers I'm hoping others will join me in my Fresh Start as we start into Fall, my very fav time of the year.
God Bless you all and ciao for now

Happy 2014

2013 was a very stressful year to start with Brian had issues with his job..Daddy at the age of 93 was starting to decline which I saw coming...and I was stuck in the middle of both trying to maintain a calm and functioning home.

My work was stressful, we had layoffs which was very hard on everyone.  My good friend Jimmy was laid off in Feb 13 and it really rocked the whole department. 

I kept moving forward keeping my heart open to the Lord who gave me the strength to keep my head on straight.

At the end of Aug. daddy was admitted to Boulder City Hospital with a nasty UTI (urinary tract infection) with medication that was clearing up and the journey began for him.

A few days into Sept. I found myself at the hospital with daddy he had entered the world of Dementia and was wanting to go home to the Lord and mother.

 On 11-04-13 daddy went home very peacefully and it was such a relief that his struggle to hang on had come to an end.

Today my nieces' husband Todd went to the Lord after suffering with Luekemia for over 5yrs.  I know this is a tough time for her but she has strong family support.

Have a good day and don't forget to tell your family how much you love them.

Ciao for now
