That Sweet Graphic Put a Smile on my Face, Dearest Yorkie; it's Adorable! Thank you, and Prayers and Love in our Savior to you.

Your Poem is Beautiful, NicknamedBob, and the Picture is Precious.

Excellent graphics of Coast Guard ships (and poem) and the crest. Semper Paratus!

What lady could resist a picnic with these two ingredients?
A good bottle of wine, and fresh roses

Andy Williams - The Day of Wine and Roses

(This You Tube Clip is not of a picnic - it is of New York, many years ago.
The voice of Andy Williams is so clear, I had to share it.)

No, he's not holding Cold Duck.

Here is an interesting article about champagne, from the NYT

Champagne: How Low Can You Go?

Happy Champagne Day!

Thanks for the link to the column by Eric Asimov, who always seemed more objective than Frank Prial, his predecessor. The individual notes are a bit dated, but basically sound—this from yours truly who manages flowing descriptions at the start of his tastings and few words to describe the wines at the end of his tastings—for reasons that may be obvious.

Hi Amy, this was so sweet of you to do that long list but thats “our Amy”. I have had to stay offline for the past 3 days...sinus infection with flu-like aching all over, just that feeling that you can’t walk across the floor! I get this about 3 times a year and end up calling my doctor, which I did today!

He called me in an antibiotic and I will get to feeling better in a day or two.

I’m going to try to answer a few pings but will stop if I start feeling bad. Thanks Amy!

[jaycee]

How beautiful and romantic that is! That would be better than this antibiotic I am starting on! Have sinus infection and just feeling horrible for 3 days and couldn’t take it anymore. So I called the doc. and will start feeling better, I hope! I am trying to answer a few pings but I may not finish. I do get on here and read though!

[jaycee]

Thank you Ladies, for such a precious welcoming to Amy’s Place. I am always anxious to see what it will be! And I love the poetry!

[jaycee]

I just didn’t get to all the pings today but maybe tomorrow I will be feeling a lot better.

Everything you all post is interesting, educational or just plain pretty! I do enjoy seeing and reading everything!

[jaycee]

I just got this in an email. Thought you might enjoy! Its a Frank Sinatra parody “Strangers on my Flight”.

Jesus uses these times to send us a message,

When we are weakest, He is stronger. When we are in a valley we tend to listen better. He wants to communicate all the time, but we are too busy being "in control" of everything. It's only when we lose control that we go looking for help.

Sorry that we are on different time schedules, Rus. I enjoy your Daily Bread, but it seems I'm always about half a day late to say so. We started "fair week" today. Have to tend a booth for son's photography shop. It's hot, boring and tiring. I do get to say hello to eveyone in the county however.

I do pray that your time of stress is past and that you are feeling comforted. God bless.
