Happy Valentines's Day
Happy Valentine's Day to all!! My memoery card on my camera is not working, I am unable to access the pictures I took of the base. I will be working on it tonight. I have a house full of kids this evening that are all sick. Including myself and my Hubby. One of my dearest friends baby has RSV and is in ICU, so I have her other 3 kiddos. right now her Hubby is on deployment, so she has limited help. Please keep Baby Jordan in your thoughts and prayers. Please keep an eye out for the pictures, hopefully I will be able to load them tonight!! Brightest Blessings to all!! ~Brandy

Family Disenchantment.......we all have some.
There seems to be some of this going around. Most of us haven't seen or spoken to each other in at least 10 years or more, and as the saying goes, people change. Who you where then, is not who you are now. The same applies to everyone else! Please don't assume that someone is (if they are so what). Come see and experience it for yourself, or don't.
What ever your hurts, slights, or gossip said, real or not. I hope that you can come and maybe put it aside for a few hours, just maybe you can make that connection again to be able to work out the difference or agree to disagree and move forward to a new relationship (or not). Some of you spent a lot of your childhood and early adulthood together, lots of the "old timers" have lost there parents and as goes when a loved one has passed, it ends up causing more hurt feelings and accusations of wrong doing and treatment.
All this is just MASSIVE JUDGMENTS, regardless of who, what, when, where and why!! No body has their LIFE totally together, life happens. It comes with the good, bad, mistakes and failures, Joys, success etc.We are all human. It is sad to think that your better or what ever than someone else because of your zip code, job, friends, name brand clothes your kids wear. Because the reality is, it's really about kindness, raising good a decent kids, helping someone who is down and not stepping on them. Or helping them but wanting something in return.
Everyone of us is a "black sheep" in one way or another/at one time or another. Who are you to JUDGE anyone???? If that's how you feel, that is how you feel. Hold that hurt and resentment close, does it change anything? Who are you really hurting? That family member? Me? I assure you, after the stuff I have been through in the last 2 years (of my choice), YOU ARE NOT! And I can damn near bet you are not hurting the person it is aimed at either. You are only wasting your own energy while that person is skipping down the street.
I plan to be at that reunion regardless if 100 people show up or just 2 people show up. We will have a great time regardless and will toast those who chose not too. You will be missed and thought of, but the good times will go on. Sometimes families move apart or journey a separate road, then there is the times where the roads merge, can we extend some kindness to each other to let family in the lane?
I am by no means saying that what your felling is not valid for you, but what hurt and wrongs have you done to those you love?? Maybe if we all take a little responsibility for our own actions in the problem, we would be less like to judge others. In closing, we all need to grow up and get over ourselves and the pettiness!!
I hope to see you there! Brightest Blessings ~Brandy *)O(*
Pettiness Prayer
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness.
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding & leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pettiness & meet each other face to face,
without self-pity & without prejudice.
May we always be patient,
never hasty in judgment & always tolerant.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses,
straightforward & unafraid.
Let us take time for all things; make us calm, serene & gentle.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things
in life that create differences,
That in the big things of life we are as one and
may we strive to touch and to know the great common heart of us all.
And oh God, let us not forget to be kind.

Beale is extending us a warm welcome!!
I spoke with Public Affairs. They are supporting Beale as a location!! They give Base tours,(behind the scenes)They only give tours on Fridays for those interested, and max is 40 people, minimum is 10 to 15. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who like plans etc. If you would like to attend please let me know. You can reach Sue Hughes and myself on facebook or me on my email at cat_eviesmom@yahoo.com
Welcome all!!
Here you will find all the information on the upcoming Pinson Henton Family Reunion Summer 2010. No date has been set as of yet, the time frame of July/Auguest has been mention.
The front runner for location is Beale Air Force Base, just outside of Marysville California. Here is why.
1. they have a community center that can accommodate hundreds of people and there is a pool across the parking lot & park playground, there is a patio at the CAC for BBQ and those who don't mind the heat. Also use of this facility is FREE!!
2. I can (Brandy Florence Rendon) rent a jump house, dunk tank, tents, sleeping bags etc. for a really small fee from the base for party.
3.There is a Famcamp on the Base to camp at and the provide trailer hook ups, laundry services, visitor center etc. They also have lodging, Family style, in a home with 3 bds, 2,ba and kitchen. You can also bring pets (dog or cat), as long as you have proof of current shots on the base.
4.For those who would like to see and SR-71, there is one on display in Heritage Park right next to the CAC, which is across the street to the AMMO university. My Husband is in the 9th Muntions Sqd, and we will be trying to arrange a tour for those who wish to check out Bombs on display. There is a U-2 Dragon Lady on display as well 2 blocks down from the SR-71. You will most like see them taking off and landing as you come into the base. The Global Hawk is here as well, but is not one on Display, sometimes you can see them on the flight line.
5.The base has a very nice golf course here as well as a few lakes to fish in if you stay after the reunion.
