Funny - my "name" on disboards.com is "TinkerbellinLouisian"....

I actually had a Tink costume for Halloween years ago (in my late 30's)....actually got a pic of DH wearing it also! (Don't ask....the kids dared him...and he's always up for a dare!)

HA!

Universal is 'cool' but I don't let the kids talk about it once we step foot on Disney Soil....(Don't want Walt to know I cheated on him....but I only do it for the kids)

ROFLOL, Mary, put you, Betty and my daughter in a room and believe me we would have the 3 best tour guides around. Throw in fluent Spanish for daughter--helps at time. Yes, you might say that is our favorite retreat if we can manage a few days away. Also go to Animal Kingdom first thing in the morning--crowd waits until later. Not only do they miss the best time to see the animals but they have to encounter all the congestion.

That's really cool that she can speak Spanish....

I love planning Disney! Headed to catch a quick bath....back on for the "Night Shift".

Hugs,
Mary

ROFLOL she should be able to after all the money her dad and I spent getting her through college. Since then, she has been awarded several scholarships to study in Spain, Mexico and this summer Costa Rica. She has taught for 22 years now.

Hello Night Shift!

Seems quiet tonight....so I'll touch base in a bit...

Marion - You must be so proud. I'm so worried about DS - is it always that way with Teens? Or is it probably just me....

I can't wait for a time that I can state proudly that he has found his niche and achieved and able to take care of himself.

Anjl - haven't seen you in a while.....Liz also.....what's up?

Headed to disboards.....back in a bit...

Hugs
Mary

hey mary,

oh im here reading, just alot of drama been dealing with since august most has worked its way out, where dh is concerned but now his daughter is comming down this saturday so i have to face her, ahhhhhh but i have decided to leave the past in the past..
and believe me that is a hard decision!
lol i would really like to strangle her, she is a good kid, but for her to think she was going to end our relationship after 13 years she was in for a big surprise so i will win again and win the academy award for patience.

but aside from all that nonsence, omg wasps are in full force here and im running like a dork every time i see one have the killer spray can for them, i cant wait for clark to come do their spraying going to tell them to do something for the wasps, their even building nests on the large lobed cactus.

were having a mini heat wave and they say rain for the weekend so i hope it cools down
nothing much else, finished the butterfly pattern betty sent and have to put the roof on squirel feeder and that will be done! finally
my neighbors think i've lost it lol i have seen on that exterminator program you have out their mahogany wasps i would be in a nut house they look mean!
but thats all i've been up to.

Morning all,

LOL about Jeff and the comment Lee Ann put on his blog. Betty I wouldn't put it past you to go.. if he let you..

Cold and windy here this morning..but boy..the perennials are grwoing!
Lungwort is bloom..love the pink and blue flowers on the same stems.

Love that plant! it is so pretty!

Morning everyone. Hope you all have a great day!

LK

Well, I have done it now. Here is your morning laugh.

I have a doctors appointment this morning and for some stupid reason, I decided to paint my toenails. Painted them, ran down the hall to brush my teeth., came back and thought they had time enough to dry. So I put a pair of socks on. They are now stuck to my toes....and I can't get them off. And yes, I will have to take my socks off at the doctors!

Have mercy, and I think my teenage daughter is ditzy at times! LOL Going to go get the "remover" and fix the mess.

Have a good day
Debbie

LOL what a visual Debbie! Good morning all.

Mary I am proud but believe me she took her merry ole time getting through college!! Finally her dad told her to pick a major and finish or she was "off the payroll'. Ended up in multilingual--which was a shock as we had been told she would never learn a language--she is dyslexic. When she is stressed (like now toward the end of the year) it shows up. I understand about boys!! Thought we would never, ever get son to do anything but finally he say the light. Humm, maybe being charged rent did the trick. Who knows.

Betty, what's up today?

Debbie, I thought I was the only one that did that! Hope you got it fixed.

LK

Drats....when will I LEARN..typed a long post and into cyberspace it went..I JUST HAD to go look at Carol's lungwort in bloom...

It sure is pretty Carol, can't believe you've flowers already..it's rather cold here this morning as well, really damp, have my microfurnace on to keep me warm but it is suppose to be in high 60's to low 70's all weekend..do hope I get the flooring down before noon, re-organizing and putting everything back could be done later in the day..must enjoy sunshine...

Guess you are spending all you time in the garden Carol, you've so much to do not sure where you'd start..guess working from you lovely deck backwards right? does everything look as though it's made it through the winter?

LOL...yes I would go with him, am sure he'd have non of that..a local boy was out at the bar over the weekend (you might have heard about it) his dad Mike was at Bernie's on Friday getting wood from all the downed trees, anyway he left in a 14' aluminum boat..now if anyone knows rough waters you'd know our Georgian Bay is famous for it, he's not been found..massive search going on along the shoreline..asking cottagers and owners to walk their property in search of him...terrible thing...so it will be a worry if he travels alone..don't know how he got this into his head but seems he has...will talk more about the safety aspect when he visits on Mothers' Day..

I've a lot of greenery, growing by the day just no flowers..perhaps a few tulips next week...

Marion, with my french/your daughters spanish and Mary's enthusiasm, we sure could be top tour guides..maybe I should see if Disney hires 'old' gals to tour the visitors...might be a good part time job when I get old..lol..as though I'm not old now...

Liz, you've come this far, put the past behind you and if you can't, put a smile, be on your best behavior and don't give her the opportunity to get your goat...right on, pretend you are in a play and you need an A+ performance to get an award..that ought to do it..

Glad you finished your projects, what color did you do the butterflies? When Stacey was visiting she brought me gal. jug..I'm hoping now that my trip is over, craft room finished and window work completed that I'll have time to play...must make mine and Carol's..

I watch the squirrels on the big feeder that I see outside my front window each morning and night..sure would be nice for them to have a feeder of their own, filled with nuts so my birds can enjoy the seed..plus, it would be entertaining..

I did d-mail AnnMarie but haven't heard from her..starting to worry..let's hope she posts shortly..know she does far too much..

Shar is off to a quilt show today..what a way to fill a sunshine day..looking forward to seeing what comes home with her, although she's enough quilts to fill their displays..all antique as well..I'm so envious..

Jeannine haven't heard from you in awhile..how is Darcy doing? and those puppies....know you are busy..most likely doing some sewing as well..is the pontoon boat in the water yet? soon I imagine..update please..

Getting anxious to put the Foxy Lady in the water...just wax and shine..because she's a long nosed boat, the dark glass windshield goes outwards on an angle and is only 18" high, Greg, smart man that he is, has ordered the glass (which is more a plexi glass component) and will bend and cut as a little corner got broke during repairs last year...then she's ready..

Stopped in this a.m. to pay some $$$ to Ross for materials for the dining room window..will drop in today and check out what is needed then maybe he and crew will be over Saturday to start the project..

So laughing, before he's done telling me about electrical that has to be moved, I'm long past that, I'm asking what he thinks he'd need to do to put in patio door in back bedroom and a deck..also, how long to install 7 doors...hey there, he says, let me finish this project before you give me 10 more...soooo just maybe I'll have a new window this weekend..one that is there now is 60" wide by 42" high..new one is 64" wide by 68" high..big difference for amount of light that will come in...

Debbie, you are so cute..now that really is something I would have done..you should leave it, give the doctor a good laugh..good luck at the doctor's...

Crissy did you have something special waiting for you when you got home last night re anniversary or is your cruise in celebration of the anniversary..either way, lucky you..

LindaKay, Trisha ---- how are you both feeling?

Mary, wonderful joke..am sure Tubby got to laugh as much as I...

Well, forgot my glasses home this morning, thank goodness I have a few $$$store pairs here in the office...bought Dountry Almanac..says it has 35 gloriuous garden rooms - in & out in it..don't know why it sounds familiar..who knows, might be one I've already bough...

Included is a tabletop fountain from tag-sal seacuts and also small kitchen challenge 3 amazing redoes on the cheap..but the highlight of the magazine is pretty up a porch, romance your bedroom so hey how can you go wrong...lots to do..just what I need, more ideas...

You know, in 3 years John Eplett (realtor and friend of my boys) said I've doubled my value in the property, was in pretty bad shape when I took over, so I'm proud of my pay check to pay check projects..the energy I've put into it, don't want to lead you astray, it's not like a lot of your beautiful city/country homes, but home to me..each time I think of another project to do, I wonder if the projects will ever end...

So I'm on a high today, more visual upgrades..they make me happy...

betty, will be on good behavoir lol

here it is i used toooo small of plywood i think it was a quarter of a inch had a hard time too flexible.

Beautiful Liz...think it was 1/2" I used..they sell partial cuts at Home Depot so you don't have to purchase an entire sheet, as well, sometimes in the off-cuts they have pieces for mere pennies..

So exciting,
Looked at the weather forcast..
Friday - 68 - scattered showers
Saturday - 77/cloudy
Sunday - 73/cloudy

oooohhhh just like you all, I'll be looking for my shorts...

Good Morning.

Wow, the sun is shining bright today, how exciting is that?

I have been happily busy working on the computer and other things for Steve!
We had a huge blow out argument the other night, grrrr, that guy...LOL well it was just time to get some frustrations out and lucky for him,
he finally saw what I was talking about. Sooo, one of the things was to get a new program, like the one the rest of the world is using.

So now I can begin really working with what I know, only this is layed out entirely different than what I am used to, I have learn some of the minor glitches. Now, he is extremely busy and I am glad to help him with the "clerical" work.

...On the crafting table, I have picked up the embroidery of my nephews blanket! hahaha, got off onto some other stuff and totally dropped some of the works I was doing. It's nice to sit and relax at end of the day with some stitching.

Tubby, I have been sending prayers and good thoughts for you. I hope you are doing ok. miss you.

Liz...LOL don't forget to poke DH for me!! LOL, tell him it takes a dingy to know a dingy ROFLOL.
Your butterfly turned out real pretty!...Hope the visit with Dh daughter goes well, yep win the award and be nice.
Close the door and lock up the past, who knows maybe she has grown up some.

Debbie, I was giggling over your toe nail polish. LOL, good thing you discovered the sticky sox before your appointment.
...lol you wouldnt want t get charge for Dr. to remove the sox!! (lol, sorry couldn't help that lil slip)

Hi Marion, so nice to see you posting over here! How you doing?

Carol, Beautiful plant!

Well...they got em..gone, two tulips, and my sedum chomp down again. Saw the evil neighbor cat has NOT found his way down the block as of yet, so my birds are once again on the safe side from the hunt! I am telling you, i got a regualr zoo going on overy here. Where i once had raccoons ravishing the garbage has a new compittion, in the way of a Skunk!! I have named it Jumper, because the sound of screen door opening sends this critter through the air across the yard and scurring off as fast as his short little hobble will allow. Which is quite fast, Long as he keeps his oder in, whereever it is...lol.

So it's going to be glorious next couple of days, so I'll be in the favorite part of my little world, outside!!! The other night I was was l;ucky to catch the disapating Rainbow. Made my day just to see that little bit, of you can't help to smile at it's glory.

Betty, Can't find my callingcard...so will have to chat on line, Those were incredible stories. Lets keep hoping their health coninues to heal. I am glad you and Carol are having good weather, so nice to get a kiss from the sun!
Wow, can't wait to see your new flooring and all the work, will be spectacular when your done.

Been thinking about Crissy too, sure hope you had a wonderful anniversary cruise.

Waiving hi to Mary, Wonderhug, Laura, Ves. I seem to be missing a few names

OMG, I am starving, rumbling belly so going to have some toast and another cup of coffee before I get to work here.
So i will be back later!!

Do enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Missed you Judy..

Thought you might take up some of the work for Steve, better than working outside the home isn't it..new program, good for you, time you save makes up for the cost..

When you said your plants had been eaten thought for sure Judy it was the deer..think I told you all, I was so amazed at all the live and dead deer we saw on our trip..you must be having same weather as we're getting Judy..you'd never know that the heat wave is possible if you were outside this morning, think it was 32..keeping my fingers crossed...
A kiss from the sun, what a nice way to put it..

I always walk around the garden in the a.m. and by nightime, doing same walk I can almost see the growth..

Have any of you ever sat on the deck just when the tree leaves are about to open and you can hear them doing so..did that last spring..amazing..what a feeling..

Tree that leans towards the pond has leaves opening, looked at them this morning..main trunk is on neighbors side but the branches are on mine, sure hope when it comes to clearing all the dead trees that have fallen on the fencing that he doesn't cut this particular one...

Have you got all the wood chopped up and piled for your summer fire Judy? know that's the highlight of your evenings..

Clean up? Lenny, Suzanne's husband called me last night, knew I had several things for the dump, our large object pick up is not until June, he just wanted me to know that either today or tomorrow he'd pick them up with his trailer, he has several loads to bring to the dump..so that will look after that area..Mike, he called as well to say he would drop off my snowblower..did the season change of oil I would guess so no hubby but I've everyone elses' to help me..pretty lucky aren't I...

I go through periods as you all do I'm sure..where I'm looking at everything that needs done..I've no patience with waiting..must be done TODAY!!! am I right?

Keep thinking if we all lived closer we could have a workday at each house..wouldn't that get things done...I'd purge yours you could do mine, etc. etc.

I still have the smaller knitting machine, brand new, in the box, one that they used to sell at Zellers..not a lot of money, maybe $150. and do you think I can find anyone who wants it for free...no go..so Monday think I'll pack it up and donate it to Value Village at least there it's cleaning a space in my house..as for the other 3, they are worth too much just to get rid of, beside, a couple of them I still use...

Writting a novel here..

told Darlene she'd have to tell the painting students NOT to bring me anymore books/craft supplies as I've far more than I can use in my lifetime..

When I cancelled last nights painting I told the girls I'd have a few boxes with wood projects for the taking..if they were interested in any item they could just take it but NO leaving it at my house...

Want to get back to being tidy and organized..if I need something that I'd thrown out and I need it bad enough I'll just go purchase it...my new moto..not used in 6 months out it goes...



That blanket Judy, you'll have to give it to his first born if you keep putting it to the side..

Betty, I would love to have the knitting machine, but I think the postage alone would be outrageous!
Hope someone will be happy with it!

LK

I am very happy that I could provide you with a morning giggle on my behalf! LOL I did get to the doctors fine, undressed, sat on the table...and looked at my "pretty toes!" Yep, there they were....all pretty pink...with blue fuzzies stuck to the top from my socks! They looked like I glued little blue pom-poms to them! Should have told him I was concerned about the rash on my toes. Hehehe

Seed, that would have been a fun experience to explain that charge to the Insurance company! LOL

I am so excited about this impending weather Betty...they said 80s here Sunday...but now I have been ORDERED to stay out of the sun! UGH! He froze a lesion on my face, and it is not comfortable. Took two others off, one from leg and one from lower back/spine base area.

I will be sunscreened up and a hat...but I am going out to enjoy this weather...if it shows up.

Ooops someone here....brb.
Debbie

I should check Linda Kay, it always amazes me, sometimes the pkg is little and it's expensive, then the larger ones I think will be outrageous to mail are inexpensive..sure wish I could get it to you..

Just got back from lunch, sun is strong but still cold..ohhh veggies/dip and wings..yummy..

Debbie I can just picture you there...you stay out of the son, big sister talking now..not worth the consequences..I have to tell you a story..

Many moons ago I was in Clearwater..I have an allergy to the sun but only in March/ May/July/October, apparently it's those months that has a special ray or it's closer to the earth I don't know but here we were, on a trip to Florida, staying a mom's and lordy the weather was fantastic..DH would keep me in the Florida room as best he could, you could see the thickness under the skin and ohhh so itchy it burns, most amazingly never affects the face (must be because it's old, wrinkled and like leather) lol...the specialist warned me as he did every year that I must wear a large brimmed hat, body completely covered AND gloves anytime I'm outside or suffer the consequences... not something I want to do, no way..might as well be under the soil if I have to do that...

On the beach we were, nice little cabana, me inside in the sweltering heat, blanket attached so the light rays couldn't touch me, hidden away, am sure people thought those with me were hidding a movie star or one of america's most wanted...

Could hear everyone laughing, playing in/out of the water so gave up, outside I came for the rest of the morning and afternoon...by mid afternoon I was covered in a thick layer of rash, barely able to bend my fingers so because I wouldn't listen no one was feeling sorry for me ..I decided to walk the almost mile to the pharmacy just up the beach to get something for it, surely the pharmacist would have something to ease the pain, some suggestion..by the time I arrived there I was just ready to get something sharp and start scratching..go in, show the pharmacist and get his thoughts...

Needless to say my return trip was quick, I was so mad..want to know what he said..

"Why are you so stupid, you are allergic to the sun, stay out of it and there would be no need for medication"..imagine telling me something like that...

So, dear Debbie, my suggestion is the same to you, except I'll add 'sweetie' to where he said 'stupid' lol..but don't take chances..

Odd thing is, as soon as I'm in the house where the rays can't touch my skin it settles underneath and as soon as I walk out, out it comes...

They did have a medication that helped, think it was 'reactin' but because of damaged kidneys not something they want me on..so now, I watch myself at those times of year...and, as I age it seems to affect me less..one thing about aging right?

I know what you mean Betty, the weather is suppose to reach the 70's today, yet it was so chilly with the wind, sure hope it turns to warmer breezes...
So nice of Paul to come for your dump-junk. I hate waiting and I am getting so much worse since I've been home!
But, yes I sure do enjoy working from home. Last night I worked until 10:30 and I like to mix it all up so not to just do the same thing, I am so used to working on many projects at one time, probably why I am bonkers...So off my behind and get some cool things done!

As for the blanket, hehehe, I always say before he goes to college, but I think I like your line better. At this rate it might just be for his first kid...Coming along nicely, Working on the second block of his name. Hoping to finish the blocks by tomorrow night.

OMG Mary, thats too funny! Hahah, you could always say it's sock velcro, to keep sock in place. loolol, cracking myself up.
But I love the toe poms' poms too...ROFLOL, did you shake your feet at him?? hmmmm, what else could we name the "injury"

Alright, your situation reminded me of the other day, actually last Thursday. After I dropped my sister of at the train, I decided to stop at the Ace Hardware. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so all the windows were down in the car. As soon as I park, noticed they had beautiful trays of Pansies and Violas out. With my eyes trying to take in all the garden items they had out, I bee-lined right for the flowers. Went in to ask a question and got my answer so strolled around for a few minutes more...Worried about time because i had to pick up Breenie, (dd#2) so headed for the car. As I reached into pocket, got phone, got my notes and pen but what the heck did I do with the keys??

Goodness, pick up speed in my steps to car, look inside the open windows, and sure enough there were my keys in the ignition!! So shake my head mumble grumble at how stupid that was and get in...Take wild guess what was still running!! ROFLOL(now) I couldn't beleive it, lol all i could do was breath thanks my car was still in the lot! Then I just laughed about how dumb all the way to school...Some days, should just remain a dream. lol.

Betty, Well, we have a good supply of wood in the racks...But We have been discussing the fact we may need to look for some tree work.
I thinking more towards the fall though. ...ROFLOL, i am afraid if I were your neighbor, one of 2 things, we would never get anything done, or I would purge your unwanted items right into my nicely purged house! lol, hahaha! Ahhh, but just think of all the gardening to share!
But then again, I have Wildflowers-(weeds) and your have stunning flowers....well, It's a lovely thought just for us to be neighbors!

OK got to go for a bit.

Judy, lol here, perhaps as people were walking by a running car, keys inside the ignition they thought it was a prank or a 'candid camera' set-up so best to leave the car alone...you are lucky though..did you tell Steve? can imagine the reaction he'd give you..think springtime makes us scatter brained..much like our Debbie with the nail polish and socks..

Wildflowers are beautiful as well Judy, it's just that your neighbors haven't a clue as to their value..

I'll wait until Mother's Day and take all my seeds out and start planting..I'm excited about that..don't want to work my gardens too early not just because of the weather but might damage a lot of flowers getting ready to show their pretty heads...

Aww Betty, you just make me smile!
I wait as well, usually till Memeorial day weekend, but I know lots of people to plant on mothers day...Maybe this year I will too.
Mostly because I am planning on being in Texas for Memorial Day weekend!! Yippeee, only a month away.

Oh lol, no I didn't tell Steve about the car, LOL, absolutley no need to get verbally muderalized...I tell him the funny stroy next year! ROFLOL. and really i never even thought about it again until Mary story.

Debbie, iI do hope you follow docs order. I am allergic to the sun as well, it horrid because I am a sun lover all the way, I try and cover up when my skin starts it reaction, do the medicine and then 'm ok again, but not be in the sun, forget it, I told my doc give my a lifetime perscription cu's I'll pay the price as much as i can handle. But I am not going to refuse the sun....Yep i am a stubborn one for that.

So you cover with a hat or an umbrella and enjoy the weather.

This message was edited Apr 23, 2009 3:06 PM

Judy, it's Debbie and not Mary who is having difficulties...

Ooops, I mean Debbie
Thanks Betty!

Judy, in the nice weather do you put your bird outside?

Yes, I take her outside on beautiful windless days.
With the new screen house though, I can not leave her free becase the screen is to
flimsy. But she will come out and enjoye thfresh air in her cage.
She loves it...and on really hot day, i set up her swimming pool!

Betty, we definately are sisters. I get the welts from the sun, but only certain times of the year. Just today driving up there, I had red welts on my chest from the reflection threw the windshield. In the morning, I only go in the front yard of the house as that is totally shaded....and the back yard after 4:30, as the sun is not as heavy there.

WHen I lived in Florida...I never had this problem. I move up to NYand about age 30, it all started. One would think the sun not as heavy here....NOT! I get the thick red itchy hives, even threw clothing. I have to put a sunscreen on....which also gives me a rash....and then the heavy cotton shirts over top. I hate it. I do carry benedryl with me also....which helps when it starts. I think it hurts most when my own kids tease me because of the "lovely hat & glasses" that I must wear when outside. I think I will get some Hello Kitty or ohhh wait Tinkerbell glasses and matching hat!

Well, this "bubble" on my face is starting to itch and feel nasty...so am going to go watch Ellen...and have some chocolate...I am sure it will take care of everything!

Debbie

Why of course chocolate will help everything!! Never doubt that for an instant!!! LOL

lol Marion..chocholates are the answer to everything..

Yep Debbie same thing..when the specialist did testing he went on about a ray that is closest to the earth at certain times of year and that's the ray I'm allergic to..other than that, I can be out from morning till night in the direct sunshine..

boy does it burn and itch..amazing that 2 secs after going inside, it's under the skin, 2 secs outside, back out and giving me problems..

ohhh time to go home....think I just might play outside..

talk after

Hello Ladies - Just popping in....running the drama kids up to the school....first showing of Dracula is tonight...Second one is tomorrow. I'll probably go to both since there are some "Cast B" kids that I know that won't be in tonights...

Hugs,
Mary

Hiya Mary!

Always nice to see both, because you know the one your kids will be the best.
I am sure everyone will do wonderfully, I love that you are supporting both casts.

Enjoy the Play.

OMG, It finally warmed, wind is slowing down, so might have my fire tonight afterall, woohoo...
Tried to start my tiller, boohoo couldn't get it going so will wait till tomorrow and try again, got to get some oil...
Oh and I better have DH check the spark plug!

Back to the yard.

Mary, enjoy the play..we need you to be the 'critic' I'm sure it will have excellent reviews both evenings..

Called Caleb and Braedon, oops bad grandma, forgot to call and see how their competition went the Tuesday we got home from Washington..they were out for supper so will have to wait till they call..

Then Darlene called to tell me they got approval for their new woodworking shop, Mike has every type of woodworking equipment known to man I'm sure..he took over their 3 car garage near the roadside so they have to cut down trees, she said about 15 of them, I should really offer to go help as they are always here helping me..

Said she and Mike would be here when I get home from work tomorrow..they want to finish the flooring and trim tomorrow night so they can move on to cutting their trees on Saturday..

Also said she's so many tiger lillies, purple lunwort and various other plants that have to be removed because of the new workshop so guess who will get a slew of them..always room at the back near the DG friendship garden...

This afternoon I had a wonderful talk about gardening with young Cindy..last year she bought her first home and gardening was the last thing she was thinking about but this year, she already purchased annuals and has started to grow them inside..will be nice to share my gardening love with her...

Just fed the animals..bath time and early to bed, have work to do tomorrow morning early a.m. so that everything is ready for tomorrow night's work..easy to feed everyone, I'll just order pizza..lol

I didn't read all..My I have some catching up to do..A quick verse then off to the shower..Been mowing all day, I'm dusty & tired..LOL

Mary! Had a little Lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.


It followed her to school each day,
T'wasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To have a Lamb at school.


And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name!


Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.


What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!



It is said that 86% of Canadian,

American & British people believe in God.


Why don't we just tell the other 14%

To be quiet and sit down????


God Bless you

Went to the International Quilt Show here today, forgot my camera, but had my iphone, so here is the winner, which came with a $20,000 prize. Incredible workmanship.

GG, (Jeannine) this is the one I wanted you and your mom to attend. It was a great show. Also thought LK and Barb might like to see some photos, too.

Here is another, of a different variety....still beautiful

They create their own designs.
Here is another in the category of scenes, every day life.

I heard so many different languages today, I felt like I was in a foreign land, just couldn't figure out where.

It was a beautiful show.

WOW! Those are so pretty! that first one looks like a tapestry!
Good night all, thunder in the distance, so I will be shutting this down.
