President's Weekly Address: Traveling Abroad for Our Economy at Home

This week the President comes to us from South Korea. He is on his first trip to Asia as President.

From the White House web site:

In an address recorded in Seoul, South Korea, the President discusses his trip to Asia. He talks about his push to stop nuclear proliferation in North Korea, Iran, and around the world. He talks about promoting America's principles for an open society in China while making progress on joint efforts to combat climate change. And talks in-depth about the primary objective of his trip: engaging in new markets that hold tremendous potential to spur job creation here at home.

We do have to be patient. I know there are some who will never give this president and the economy a break for any thing, but we have to allow him time to work and time for the recovery to work as it was planned.

I am sorry this is late again this week. I have just been overwhelmed with troubles. First, is my mom, you all know about her... then my 84 year old uncle who I help take care of fell last Saturday morning and I have been at the hospital with him ever day.. He has broken his left hip and we finally managed to get it fixed Wed. They did a partial replacement.

Then a very dear cousin of mine was in a serious car accident. They have done as much repair as they can do to her left foot and legs.. it is touch and go on her left foot as to whether she will be able to keep it.

Then my daughter's father is very ill and they are giving him a 50/50 chance of making it.

So as you see I have had a terrible week. Today hasn't been much better but at least I finally got some rest today.

My uncle will be getting out of the hospital probably Monday or Tuesday, and going to a Skilled Nursing Facility for rehab and PT... Hopefully that will help as it will be much closer to home and I will be able to pop in and out multiple times a day.

Thanks for understanding and for being such loyal readers.

Bless you all.. I hope you enjoy this weeks Address... I did.

Sorry For the Lack Of Posts..

I have been busy this week, trying to help Mom... She is 82 and her flower garden has grown up in weeds.. she was supposed to have had help taking care of it over the summer, but her help let it go to the wayside.

Now, I have been trying to get it caught up so we can get it back in shape before winter sets in. Just to give you an example of what I have been dealing with, here is a picture of the weeds I am cutting, I know it is hard to picture in your mind looking without a perspective..but they are about 8 to 10 feet tall...



And here is my helper...



That's Gizmo, my pom, he never lets me get too far away.. and in the background almost too far to see clearly is my uncle, Fred.. Not sure what I would do without him.

He's like my dad, always there to help me when I need someone. That's why I do things for him.. He always does things for me. Without me asking.. at 84 years old, after serving our country, having 4 back surgeries, or maybe it was 5, he still is out there with me almost every minute..

But, that's why I haven't gotten much posting done this week.. or why I haven't been around visiting much.. Sorry, I will make it up to you all soon.. and be back to my pesty, if that's a word...lol ways...

So, remember love each other, play nice.. and give them GOPers hell for me until I can get back and do it with you.
