Hello, JOHNN. Thank you for sharing another poem with us today.

Happy TGIF. Happy Spring!!

Have a fabulous Friday.

Hope you find a fifth wheel with at least one slide-out! They are great, IMHO.

Thanks, yorkie. The two we are looking at both have one slide-out in the living area. My friend who is a very experience 5th wheeler says we will be sorry if we don't get one with a bedroom slide also. But we just want a small one. Our son and DIL has one with four slides. The thing opens up like a palace inside, complete with a fireplace and an island kitchen and computer desk. We just don't need one that big. I am concerned about the bedrooms not having slide-outs, but I think it will be okay for our first RV. The only thing that I demand is a queen size bed that is a real queen size; 60X80 - and both of these RV's have that. Many times they put smaller beds in them and call the "queens" but they are not.

Our son wants us to meet them for weekend campouts at the nearby NASCAR races and also at Grand Canyon, etc. Great family times together. I am really looking forward to it.

Thank you, Kitty.

That is good news about your MIL. Hope she recovers quickly from her surgery.

What a cute kitty in red!

Here is another one, taken by the same photographer
Here is his Flicker link - he claims to be a birder

Dolly, I just finished viewing your pictures. You did good. They are wonderful! Enjoyed all of them....you are a good photographer! I also got hungry seeing all that food and all those wonderful restaurants and Voodoo doughnuts...yummy! I bet that Italian Restaurant was a great place to eat!

[Mama_Bear]

I could be wrong about those being photoshopped, but I am still not a hundred percent convinced. But, I’ve been wrong before. LOL

I have my allergies under control ...no comparison to the big siege. Thank heavens!

A raccoon broke the bases on 3 feeders last year and one bottle..It was a young one. clever little bandit.
This is a big bloom year for the photinia..It does this every other year it seems..I don’t know if the hummers like it as I haven’t seen one..but they do come back about the time the pink dogwood fully blooms.
Birds have thinned out and headed north it seems..I don’t have near the number I have had.

I must run some errands..Have a great day!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Lori and Jaycee, for your Compliments on my Posts! Dolly, your Pics are Wonderful!

[jaycee]

That cat is perfectly precious in that cute red sweater! Thank you Kitty!

[jaycee]

"But, I’ve been wrong before. LOL"

Well, I haven't! LOL~~~ Oooops, was that lightning I just saw close to me? teehee!

[jaycee]

Gotta run....Dolly’s pics made me hungry and after all its 2:15 here and past lunch. I generally eat around this time though!

BBL!

[MEG33]

Ahem..Thanks, yorkie.
;o)

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! My husband hasn't either. You can ask him, he'll tell ya'. LOL.

Gotta run and get some stuff done. Son and family are coming down this weekend to help us decide on a 5th wheel. My house is in bad need of attention!

[MEG33]

Love the daffodils..This time I am really leaving..I have a million things to do!!

Am I A Free Man?

Am I free, or bound in servitude dark
are my thoughts bound to chains stark
Does someone else rule my life, or do I
is freedom mine, or will I slave till I die

Once I was free, once I was an American
now I ask, is all I've ever known been ban
We now seem split, bathed in hate and race
our government seems so bitter and base

I fought for my country and I was proud
I served her faithfully and my joy was loud
I saw her greatness even in her errors then
and now the left cringes at what had been

Life is cheap, and so too, honor today
oft it seems what you are, is what you pay
The individual is reviled, comrade take note
around respect is a alligator laden PC moat

I was born free, yes, free and full of life
now we seem but shallow images of strife
I can not be a PC robot, I am a free man
I must do, will do, as only a free man can

Hate me if you must, for I have been free
and free I shall stay, in spit of such as thee
I remain an American, even if America falls
and I shall remain so, until freedom again calls

I bend not to your PC mind control force
I remain on the freedom centered course
I will struggle, endure to remain an American
though you wage a war on me as you plan

A new Patriot, a new tea party to tyrants left
as we struggle with socialist economic theft
Be proud, be free be an American in the old ways
and in the end, it is the evil left that will pay

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Jaycee. Thank you.

Thank you for the pretty daisies.
Happy Red Friday ... Happy Spring.

Have a great day.

[JustAmy]

Thank you .... Billie made the robin for Music Week.

I thought he looked perfect for the first day of Spring and should make another appearance.

The “aheming” has to do with all those georgeous frames you ladies make. I flunked out of Remedial Computer Class - and can’t do it.

So, I just go “ahem” and post my pictures without glitter, snow, writing, pearls, lace and frames. (Ahem - it’s the best I can do.) ;-)
