Great thread, friends, poems, recipes, information BUMP!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, PGalt.

Thank you from all of us. We enjoy hearing from you.

Her dedication, her strength of character, her perserverance, her knowledge, her lust of life, her belief in herself; to attain and obtain something she believed in, makes her a heroine in the eyes of so many, including me.

Playing Dress-Up

You don’t have to dress up, in your finest bit of cloth,
We wouldn’t care if you came by, in cast-offs from a moth,
We’re always glad to see you, no matter how you’re dressed,
Just tell us what you meant to wear, and we’ll assume the rest.

So if some day your wardrobe is going to the dogs,
Just keep in mind we do not care, what you choose as your togs,
As long as you are seemly, we won’t call the constable,
Who knows, we might just make, all clothing optional.

How cute!
We always dress up for Amy's Place

[JustAmy]

How cute!!!

Good evening, Meg. Thank you for that darling dressed up kitty.

I’m posting early because I will be taking Marissa to a swim park tomorrow. I’m not sure how long we will be gone but I think it will be most of the day.

I guess I will get to rest when school starts. LOL

[yorkie]

You are such a good gramma - always there for Marissa.

Perhaps it is time to be there for gramma?

Time for a full massage? (Let a professional work those kinks out).

Or how about a facial? (You know - the cucumbers and mud packs or wraps........)

A foot rubbing pedicure? You could choose a pretty color...

Or maybe a trip to the salon for a new hair-do? A stylish cut and color always gives a lift.....

But, then, my favorite is a bubble bath, with candles (no lights) and some good classical music playing, while you relax, without a care or worry.......

((((Amy))))

[MEG33]

I like yorkie’s plan..perhaps a day at a spa..You are a wonderful “mom”.

Wheelchair Ride

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 59

You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. —Psalm 59:16

Ben Carpenter has muscular dystrophy and gets around in an electric wheelchair. One day as he was crossing an intersection, the light changed and a semi-truck caught the handles of Ben’s wheelchair in its grille. Unaware, the driver started down the road, and before long Ben was being pushed along at 50 miles per hour. Soon the rubber on the wheelchair’s tires began to burn off.

Passersby saw the bizarre sight and phoned 911 to inform the police. When the truck driver pulled over, he was astonished to see what was attached to his truck’s grille. Ben had a big scare but escaped without injury.

Sometimes we may feel as if our lives have been hijacked by unexpected circumstances. When David was invited to King Saul’s court, he soothed the king’s nerves by playing on his lyre. Then, unpredictably, the jealous king threw a spear at him. David found himself caught in a dangerous drama of pursuit in which King Saul tried to take his life. Yet David looked to God for immediate protection, and he ultimately received deliverance. Because of this experience he wrote of the faithfulness of God: “You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble” (Ps. 59:16).

No matter what our trouble, God is there.

I never walk alone, Christ walks beside me,
He is the dearest Friend I’ve ever known;
With such a Friend to comfort and to guide me,
I never, no, I never walk alone. —Ackley

When troubles call on you, call on God.

Bible in One Year: Esther 4–6; Proverbs 9:10-18

;o)

Thank you, jaycee..Hope yours goes well..We got no rain and we are in for triple digit temps for awhile.
I had to get out the vaseline for the hummingbird feeder hanger..I saw my first big ant on the feeder since spring.
At least the feeder wasn’t full of ants running all over the sink while I took it apart to wash as it was last ant attack.

I have loved having the hummingbirds this year and sure hope I can keep them til fall.

[jaycee]

Sorry...Meant to ping you to my post 1727. In too big a hurry this morning...

Have a great day, everyone!

LOL..Reluctant model or just a bit shy. Cute, jaycee.
