That’s just ducky!
I didn’t have any whale pictures~~~sniff~~~
If I have time later, I will find one!
I agree with you. I swore off blubber years ago.
I don’t have dial-up! I have high speed (but my computer is sick, I think!)
I did mention it to my son Saturday and he said he would get to it as soon as he could. I do not like to pressure him because both these sons of mine are so good to me!
I told Barry Saturday that “I didn’t know what I would do without them” and he came right back and said “Mama, I don’t know what we would do without you.” Thats all that matters, isn’t it?

WOW!
It is indeed.
LOL!
But whaling was the most important and profitable industry before electricity arrived. Even Benjamin Franklin is said to have invented the whale oil lamp, a two-wick system that saved oil while providing more light, and the candles were smokeless.

That’s cute.... : )
I just google... : )
Have to run.
LOL! Well, you’re getting closer...............
Your #1833 is Cute, Amy and Lori! I Hope your Dentist Appointment Goes Well, Amy, and that you are Feeling Better, Lori.
'Dita, Thank you for the Beautiful Goodnight Gif Last Night.
Nan, Thank you for the Goodnight Wishes.
Meg and All FRiends, it's Funny how Doggie Likes to Chase Bunnies; she Never Catches One, (Thank the Lord!) but she just Makes Everything into a Toy. I Got Up a Few Minutes Ago to See what she was Barking at, because she Rarely Barks, and she was Pestering another Turtle, Lol, that had Crawled Right Up to One of her Favorite Sleeping Spots! I Guess she has Tired of it by Now, because she's Quiet.
Hugs to Everyone at Amy's Place!
Thank you!
That’s a very special picture :)
Good Story
A pastor had been on a long flight between church conferences. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten Your Seat Belts.
Then, after a while, a calm voice said, “We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.”
As the pastor looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive.
Later, the voice on the intercom said, “We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.”
And then the storm broke . . .
The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightning! lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.
The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, “As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm.
“Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and every- thing within her small world was calm and orderly.
“Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world.
When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid.” The minister could hardly believe his eyes.
It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, our pastor lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time.
Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.
The child replied, “Cause my Daddy’s the pilot, and he’s taking me home.”
There are many kinds of storms that buffet us. Physical, mental, financial, domestic, and many other storms can easily and quickly darken our skies and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement. We have all known such times, and let us be honest and confess, it is much easier to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than when we are being tossed about a darkened sky.
Let us remember: Our Father is the Pilot. He is in control and taking us home. Don’t worry!
Whales are fascinating and I met the gal who founded "Save the Whales." I also met the fellow who founded the Whale Rescue Team.
