To stay on track, let God guide your thinking.

I need to repeat that advice daily. Thank you Mr. Mayor, for another meaningful Daily Bread.

I always liked both the song (Baby Elephant Walk) and the movie that it came from (Hatari).

Here's another song from the "olden" days that I always liked: The Master's Call

Dolly, I can’t view your pictures. I’ve tried twice and when I get there and click on something, my computer shuts down and takes out what I have opened and minimized. Don’t know what the problem is...really wanted to see!

Oh my goodness, I truly got a blessing from that. Thank you!
Do you remember an old song by Johnny Cash called ‘Suppertime’. It isn’t religious but it always touched me when I was raising my sons. If you find it before I do, please post it. I have it on an old album...(33 album). Never throw anything away...LOL!

Hi Jaycee :)
How are you? I’m doing pretty good.

Thanks. It didn’t turn out the way I wanted. I was just playing with paint. I have to work on doing graphics :)

Have a nice day. I’m going to be lazy today. :)

Mornin’, Dolly! I loved your pictures - looks like you had a wonderful time with all your ‘young’ classmates. Dang! I remember soooo many wonderful HS days like they happened last week - where did the years go?

I’m glad you thoroughly enjoyed yourself, in spite of the cast and pain. Hopefully (and prayerfully), the pain will subside very soon!

There are only a couple of holidays I wanted to mention for today, even though we seem to be having fun with our own designated "Elephant Day". :)








Statute of Liberty Day







Chocolate Day (again - yay!)

If the Owl Calls Again
 
  at dusk
from the island in the river,
and it's not too cold,

I'll wait for the moon
to rise,
then take wing and glide
to meet him.

We will not speak,
but hooded against the frost
soar above
the alder flats, searching
with tawny eyes.

And then we'll sit
in the shadowy spruce
and pick the bones
of careless mice,

while the long moon drifts
toward Asia
and the river mutters
in its icy bed.

And when the morning climbs
the limbs
we'll part without a sound,

fulfilled, floating
homeward as
the cold world awakens.

John Haines

EEEEK! I’ll be seeing those eyes - REALLY seeing those eyes - the next time I peel potatoes!

Imagine how vegetarians feel.
