Feel Good Story

Posted on 02/10/2014 by Grumpa Joe

Any story that makes me feel good is a gem. I love old cars, and emotional stories about man’s spirit and determination to succeed. This particular story has both elements. This husband-wife team are a prime example of why people get married. True love unites and joins the couple in amazing ways. He works to please her and she works to please him. Together they overcome  adversity to bring joy to each other. Watch this video and tell me if this couple doesn’t represent everything needed to succeed in marriage.

Last Email of the Day

Posted on 11/09/2014 by Grumpa Joe

This evening I began to shut down my Mac and head to the TV when I decided to look at my Emails one more time. I found one from my good friend Jim. He and I went to high school together and roomed for a year in college too. Jim suggested I watch a video he sent. I clicked on the link and it took me to a Pickleball Website. Inside that site was the video which I later found on YouTube.

There are many amazing people in the USA and this vid highlights one of them; his name is Mike Ehredt an Endurance Athlete, Postal Worker, Veteran, and genuine great human being. My words will never do him justice to the project he undertook called Project America Run (Click link to see map). In 2010 he ran a mile for each vet who died (4424) in the Iraq war, then in 2012, Mike ran a marathon everyday for 81 days. At each mile he placed a flag in honor of a vet who died in Afghanistan (2140 US service men and women).

If you like feel good stories, watch the video, and click the links to learn about this amazing ordinary person like you and me.

Do You Think Life Is Hard?

Posted on 21/08/2014 by Grumpa Joe

Very often it seems that I get a little down and start feeling sorry for myself and complain about how hard my life is. Then, someone sends me an angel. Today, the angel is my old friend and colleague Rich. The video below is proof positive of the human spirit and the power of positive thinking. If this story doesn’t bring a tear to your eye nothing will.

Best Speech Ever Without a Teleprompter

Posted on 17/08/2014 by Grumpa Joe

Bill Whittle is one of the fastest talking, well articulated, speech givers on the face of this earth. He doesn’t use a teleprompter and he keeps you listening throughout. This speech on the power of convictions excellent. All Republicans and Democrats can learn from his wisdom.

My Day To Be Impressed

Posted on 20/07/2014 by Grumpa Joe

WOW! Right after posting my article about What It Means To Be  A Lion I watched a video sent by my Cuzin Rick. The motto of this  blog is “My Flag Flies Everyday.” so I am all things flag. When I saw the flag in this video I nearly fell out of my chair, and that is a tough thing for me since my butt is so big it doesn’t move in any direction quickly. The people from Acuity Insurance Company of Sheboygan, Wisconsin decided to build the world’s tallest flag pole, and they succeeded too. Watch the video and decide for yourself. This is one pole I do not want to sit on top of.
