I found this wedding album to be quite complete as it shows the wonderful colors of Indian dress. It reminds me of two successful movies, which also dealt with Indian, if not Sikh, weddings festooned with marigolds:

Chrystal and her Husband Sound Like the Most Wonderful and Caring and Kind People

Thank you for your prayer support. Yes indeed, Crystal and Eric love the Lord Jesus and seek to obey and serve Him. In a day and age when babies are meaningless to so many, their hearts are so obedient to God, even in pain and loss.

Though I am His sheep, I’m still prone to stray,
So Jesus in love sends afflictions my way;
The lessons that come in this school of deep pain
Will teach me to follow my Lord once again!

Story of my life.....

On the above post, Fish Hawk wrote the poem and painted the images used in the Graphic.

Thank you for sharing you talents, Fish Hawk.

Hi Amy. It’s always good to see and hear from FishHawk.
The poem and paintings are a big WOW, very beautiful.
Wish we could all trek up to the tribal get-together this Summer.

Hi Dolly, the Lakers won last night:)

I will pray for your trial date, that you and your lawyer stay strong. I thought it was a month or so ago, must have been postponed.

Side note: I live near Sony Studios (used to be the MGM lot). If you’re ever out here, we will take the tour.

"Wish we could all trek up to the tribal get-together this Summer."

Wouldn't that be a great FR get-together?

MamaBear mentioned going but I can't make it this year. We are taking our vacation from August 8th thru the 17. Marissa starts back to school on the 20th. Bummer.

I'm hoping Fish Hawk and Tubebender will make a trek south for the picnic. And am hoping several from SoCal will make the trek north.

I'll keep bugging everyone. LOL

[JustAmy]

MamaBear .... thank you so much for putting the Opening Post together.
It looks great!!!

You are appreciated.

I watched the game last night & was glad the Lakers won. I want them to win Tuesday also & then on Thursday it is winner take all. I am not really for/against etiher team. Both are great teams.

I enjoy the players on both teams!

Amy, the poem is indeed mine but the paintings are real Van Gogh’s. Don’t know how I let you think that I painted them. No big deal as all will know now. I only wish I could paint like Vince. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Amy and FRiends. I can't stay around today, but wanted to post this song, one of my favorites, by Don McLean, to go with Fish Hawk's poem......

Vincent

I hope everyone had a nice weekend, especially all of our "dads".

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Fish Hawk.

Thank you for Vincent, the poem and the graphic.

Thank you for your contributions to Amy's Place. I appreciate them.

[La Enchiladita]

*Grin* You’re very good at getting that picnic organized, Amy. If some SoCal people can get the lead out, maybe *they* will make it.

As for the Yurok gathering, that would be special.

[Mama_Bear]

I am disappointed that the text in Fish Hawk's poem in the Vincent Van Gogh graphic distorted. It probably happened when I reduced the size (byte-size) of the graphic so that it could be posted on the thread. Whenever I do any kind of collage, I have a problem with the graphic becoming too large to be able to download easily for those with dial-up connections.

Anyway, I hate to see the text distorted like that. But, it is still readable, I think.

[JustAmy]

Lori .... will you post the one from your server.

Both Fotki and Photobucket reduced the size. I tried posting the PhotoBucket image with the size of your graphic.

Maybe the one on your server will be easier to read.

Sorry. :- (

[JustAmy]

Oh .... I am so sorry, Fish Hawk.

I think I just assumed they were your paintings.

Your paintings are excellent .... easy to take Van Gogh’s as yours.

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, this does look much better. It's 92K, a little larger than the graphics I usually make, but it couldn't be helped with this one.

Vincent

Thank you, Fish Hawk, for sharing your poetry with us. You are appreciated here. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

If some SoCal people can get the lead out, maybe *they* will make it.

That would be wonderful, if you and others from down south could make it up here for our picnic. I hope you can. You'll have a good time and some great food. We promise!
