I was thinking today about all the well known people that have left us in the last few weeks. I know of six. As I was thinking about them I came up with an odd kind of link. The first one to leave was Ed McMan. He was as everyone knows an announcer or partner to Johnny Carson. Well, I see him moving on to announce the arrival of the others that would soon be joining him. The first to arrive was Farrah, an earth angel. After a long hard fought battle with cancer it was time to be a real angel. Now some people will say that when she got up there she was granted one wish. She wished that all children be safe. With this said Michael Jackson was the next to arrive. I'm not sure about this reason. I just like to believe that it was just time for his spirit to rest. He did more in one life time to change somethings then allot of people could ever think of attempting. The next to arrive was Billy Mays. A pitchman who tried to sell everything. Maybe he will be Michael Jackson's prom...

This last weekend the husband and I along with the youngest one spent the weekend down in Spring Green. We were going to go to House on the Rocks. We were very lucky to find a motel room for the night. If you are wondering what House on the rocks is well, it's a house that was built on top of rocks back in the fifties by a man named Alex Jordan. It open to the public in 1960. It's an amazing place.The most amazing room in the Infinity Room which project about 218 feet out. It contains over 3000 windows. At almost the end is a place where you can look down to the floor of the woods below. He also enjoyed collecting things. It's a collection of collections. In 1968 the next part opened called the Millhouse. Collections included dolls, mechanical banks, paperweights, guns (some looked very strange), things that play all kinds of music plays in different areas. By putting a special token or two in different boxes you could play these different kinds of music. The next part o...

After I got home from work today I heard about the death of Farrah. I knew she had been battling cancer for a few years. She gave one of the bravest battles I think she could. She fought till the very end. We all know she had an amazing career as an actress. She had a one of kind smile. And hair that seam to stand the test of time. She will be missed by everyone. My heart goes out to her son and Ryan O'Neil. The sad part about her going is that her death will be shoved into the background because of Michael Jackson also dieing. I knew he would die at a young age because of the strange things he did to his body over the years. Like everyone else I grew up listening to his music. I enjoyed the cartoon that was done about The Jackson Five. That is when I knew he loved animals like I did. But the sad part is the older he got the more lost he became. He made so many bad chooses. Including all the things he did to change his body. We will never know for sure what really drove him to do t...
