I can say this about fathers and know it to be true!

Happy Father's day to everyone who is a dad,

    Hello everyone, I want anyone who is a father to know one very important thing and not just because it is your day to being honored for all the lessons you work hard at to teach us, but also for your understanding the hearts of your offspring. Every year when it comes to Father's day I feel a great part of myself missing a very dear man known as Michael Joe Byrd who was the father of the three kids seen in the far right photo seen

in this group here. I remember that he always loved to hunt or fish when he was young and played football when he was in high school, he served his country as a army ranger back during the Vietnam war. I know that he was strong with punishment if it were called for, and I know that he loved all three of his kids myself Raymond Matthew Byrd, his son Michael Benjamin Byrd, and his daughter Mary Kylie Byrd. He was also a lover of dogs the main three that I remember were "Casey", Greta, and named after my good friend of when I was in element school James potter my dad named one "Jamie" My dad wasn't super religious, yet the one main father figure I can attribute that to is my mother's daddy Ben Powers seen here.    

As I have always said about my Granddaddy he was a great man in many ways he at times helped me feel love more than even my own dad was able to show at times I will say this besides being a strong man of faith in God Ben was full of  grand humor and laughter and I have to say it again full of great stories. I do believe it's from my granddaddy that I have learned to be so patience in my every day life. Then there is my brother in law Ken Mickleson whom was living in Spokane Washington when he met my step sister Merri Watson during their collage years and of course fell in love and are raising a very nice family of eight young women and two young gentlemen in Minnesota. Here is a photo of us,

during the event in Spokane Washington known as "BLOOMSDAY" which is held on the first Sunday of every month of May. I think the best thing that I can say that I have observed from Ken is Family is always at the core of  every relationship in life itself. Then I have my own blood Brother Michael that I have mentioned earlier in this post with his wife Kathie Schwarz Byrd

and for his fathering I would say that he has shared with me the everyman spirt of you deal with things as best you can with, what you have available. Which is I think of how most Men deal with life weather if they are fathers or not, the one thing I know is that being a father is really special because you get to reflect on your own childhood in strengthening ways of showing your offspring the best of who you are as a fellow human being. To all of my friends that I have known from both my own high school days to my coworkers at Albertsons, and elsewhere  just remember you have done/ are doing what matters most to you and that's raising a great family with encouraging respect of love for your inner soul of spreading hope in the world knowing the best you that you are!     
      Again  Happy Father's Day to every trying father, in this world of planet earth.

It's all about that glowing Necklace (part 1 of 3)

Hello to those following Miss "Kitty's adventures thus far"

    If you thought that fighting aliens is what Airborne Division, which is part of the Alpha Centaurion  who help protect our planet earth from all kinds of Interstellar invasions from happening while trying to live their own kind of normal is ever easy then you don't know what is about to be coming their way! In the past two novels in this ongoing series by Gini Koch which are seen here

which are respectfully titled "TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN" and "ALIEN TANGO" . So far as I know all together the count of the novels is at thirteen with the latest one called "CAMP ALIEN" with a fourteenth one with a release date in the last month of 2016, and it is known as "ALIEN NATION"...... So where to begin with "ALIEN IN THE FAMILY" is that it is the first in the series to kick or launch off with a very short prolog by Kitty herself telling us the reader of  how everything she tries to plan goes from down right a simple hopeful good set of thoughts or ideas......to everything leading to her outright demise in one form or other! This time it seems as if she and her alien pal who in the other two novels has been either overprotective of her in a outright first laid eyes on you feelings type of way, because a evil SUPERBEING was out to posses her soul while thriving in a old rich billionaire....   Or used as punching bag by a certain human political official whom had shown most other humans greatest fear of accepting help from  true outer space beings, who wear all out Armani Black tuxes for the males or a Black slim skirts and a White Oxford-type shirts for the females of the Alpha Centaurion species, which are the scientists as well.
        It opens in the middle of the night with half of Airborne Division which has two humans and two Alpha  Centaurions  who are Paul Grower (who has an entity inside of him which the team found residing in old boyfriend  of Katherine Katt whom is known as "Kitty". Who gave it the name of A.C.E. from in "ALIEN TANGO"), and of course there's Kitty's overprotective A-C boyfriend Jeff  Martini. The two humans are James Reader  whom is Paul's alien genuine lover along with being the world top male magazine model. Finally the team leader the aforementioned Katherine Katt are atop Animas Peak in  New Mexico with the other half  of three groups of  Airborne's team being, located  in Arizona on Chiricahua peak made up of just humans Air Force pilots, with Jeff's cousin  team being yet the final part of Airborne's combined human/ A-C teams with their home mountain peak being that of  Big Hatchet also located in New Mexico, yet nothing was happening just yet. That is until Kitty's old life long friend from her high school and Collage days whom is working for the Central Intelligent Agency ET division  found something very interesting about those three locations and the Unity Necklace that Kitty is wearing since six months ago according to the time between  (this very novel and "AT"). Those three locations in someway make a prefect Triangle like the shape of the necklace itself, but more importantly that very Triangle is the hotspot for Alien Landings. 
        From all indications it seems after "Operation Fugly" and  "Operation Drug Addict" as Kitty calls the missions, that The Unity Necklace is a beacon that is sending out a call from Alpha Centauri of  a great misgiving is coming to planet earth in the form of  family coming to end the choice of Jeff Martini union with Kitty, because they feel she isn't worthy of being their next queen. While the team is examining The Unity Neck Kitty reaches out to touch it and is burned on her palm, in the shape  of one the jewels from what the  

cover looks like next to a Doctor Who fan fiction novel while I seem to be shocked or is it excited to finally be reading this grand novel of a out of this world wedding. Don't worry I will show you the full image of the cover artwork closer to the end of the review with a lot of other things as well since it just so happens to be the first of June anyhow!!
    After Kitty has her palm looked after by Lorraine, one the female AC's she decides that she and Jeff need a bit of away time from the team at one of the  places she really calls "THE BAT CAVE", once or twice in the past two arcs. When she get a call from her own mother who is just as frazzled about her daughter's grand day ever more so than Kitty or Jeff seem to be aware of. Yet her mother still wants her "Kitten" and  the C.I.A ET expert together even though she is rather Mum in a very Hush, Hush way of mentioning it. Kitty is so just wanting to run off to Vegas and hook up in a small church  she just doesn't want to deal with two worlds at once and besides the chimes of bells that other "W" Word of work happens to take the very team to Los Vegas  for Charles Reynolds is in charge of the team's missions more than Jeff is, and he thinking is that they shall be safer out in a bigger playing felid than being closer to all of the other Alphas since Jeff seems to be the main focus as much as Kitty is this time around. When the team meet Chuckie in the office of the hotel he has chosen they find a very strange listening device in the form of a pineapple. which is attracted to The Unity Necklace for unknown reasoning other than that the pineapple isn't really a piece of Hawaiian fruit. 
    To get her mind refocused on the matter at hand or rather all of the fellows at the meeting to be more exact Kitty gets their attention by showing off her twins under her shirt. Which does the trick almost without question for both Martini and Reynolds, It is after this that Jeff's cousin Christopher shows the whole team how the placer of the pineapple got into the meeting room undetected to start with. Then Kitty and James Reader head out to go shopping for her wedding dress and a few other set of clothes on the Vegas strip, when out of nowhere someone directly attacks  James by posing as him at the store they are shopping at. When Kitty finally gets help for herself and the real James she finds out the imposter had the idea  that he was Martini and left  leaves James for near death! 
        
          Okay like I said it's the start of June just a bit ago and you all know where I am teleporting to with this one I think ? maybe you don't but that is very much A oh Okay especially if your a new to this site or a regular visitor every now and then. Last year around  the second day of the whole year I started a on going game of witty chess matches if you will and I've really fallen behind this year...... Yet here were last month's clues 
   1. SHE was a huge part of Star Trek because of the many roles she happen to play in the entire
        series all  incarnations to some degree?
   2. SHE WAS also deeply connected to Trek in a personal way, by knowing it's Creator , do you 
         know what that was?                    
   3. The first Star Trek film, since the Star Trek next Gen last film was dedicated to her, can you   
          name both of these films YES or NO?     
                 Okay so who was last month's Star Trek Answer it turns out to be 

Majel Barret Roddenberry. So Who is Our Trek clue master hints point to for next month? I really want to go with someone that is rather Expected  yet really important to almost all of history in a way? And remembered just as much as the BIG day of next month known as the fourth of July! So who is it well I can tell you this it a guest star for the answer played by the late Lee Bergere, Sorry this set of clues doesn't have a his character of Trek in it but here is one of Lee's character from in          

the Get Smart series which had Don Adams as the bumbling super wise Agent 86, better known as Maxwell Smart. Okay so that every one can see the stones of The Unity Necklace here is the actual cover to "ALIEN IN THE FAMILY" without the mast head of the text

so you can guess for yourselves if there is more than just one stone in it?  Finally here is what grace my anticipation of seeing Captain America Civil War
