So glad to hear allergy time is done for you there and you are now feeling so much better! There was layers of green pollen everywhere for a couple weeks. Even when I cleaned inside, I would find it. Worse I've been from allergies in years too. Next year, thinking of maybe getting allergy shots before May.

How are your kitties doing?

~~~May Cpl. Parrish Rest in Peace~~~ And May God Be With His Grieving Family. for



I had been following the progress of Dusty and was praying for a different outcome. I know his father-in-law is a Freeper and at the moment I have forgotten his name. Hope God will be with this family. Thank you for this Remembrance, Conor!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg.

I love the garden photos that you share.
The quote is perfect! Thank you.

Hope you are enjoying a beautiful Thursday.

Sorry to hear your allergies were so terrible. They can sure play havoc in our lives, can’t they?

[JustAmy]

Oh My Gosh!!

Is this the same Dusty that we’ve been praying for? I didn’t know. I thought he was doing good.

May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted by Our Lord.

That's so great they give Marissa credit on independent study! Maybe Booboo can bring her work with her. It's a great experience for them. It would be fun to have them meet too! I look forward to seeing the thread!

I would love to go to Walter Reed on the Friday evening too! I'm thinking maybe get there on Thursday and stay till Monday morning.

I used to take allergy shots..I thought I had outgrown severe allergies as a benefit of old age! Not so!!

My kitties are doing great...The shyest kitten is still scared of anyone new at my house but is very loving.
The kittens thought the step stool I was using to clean wood work and cabinets was for their amusement..It got a bit crowded when they wanted on it with me..LOL

[GodBlessUSA]

This is awful news. My heartfelt prayers for his family and all loved ones.

Another ‘luscious lavender graphic’ today! Its just beautiful! And I am enjoying the music as I post! By the way, we were recently talking about Bobby Darin....I checked the C.D. because I was sure this song was on there and IT WAS!
Thank you, ladies! Today has been very rushful!

[MEG33]

Thank you, Amy
I love searching for my fantasy gardens and am glad others enjoy, too.
I am being very lazy today...Resting up.

I think the Dusty we are praying for is a Staff Sergeant.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

We are hoping to make it to the Walter Reed Friday Rally.

Are you close enough to DC to drive or will you also fly? The day that we arrive will be spent in the air. We will get there early evening. I will re-check the schedule.

I will ping you to the thread when it is posted.

[GodBlessUSA]

Did you find the allergy shots worked? Seems the older I get the worse the allergies become.

LOL, that's so cute the kitties were taking over your step stool while you are on it! :)

Thank you GeeBee! Yes, that is the front of our home. Papa keeps ferns growing, most of which are over 20 years old! Sure needs lots of repairs but we love home....don't we all!! Our home is a old " Sears Robuck Kit" that was sold in the early 1900's. We have lived here almost 40 years. I will see if I can find a photo of the house and porch. Polly

Is that the front of your house. Looks like a lovely porch.

Johnn, you aren’t any more negative than the rest of us during these trying times we are experiencing. You just have a better way of putting it down on paper! That crazy Chris “slobbering” Matthews was trying to connect the violence of the killing at the Jewish Museum on the nut-jobs on the right.
He even used the word Republicans. He is crazy as a loon and I hear more crazy, looney things on MSNBC than anywhere else (well, there are more) They spew hate for Republicans (especially for wanting to keep our guns and because we are pro-life.) Can you believe how ‘in bed with the media these crazies are?’ They truly believe that Zero walks on water!

[jaycee]

Thank you for your sweet comments, Billie! That dog in 920 really looks like he is smiling...I loved him. He does favor a polar bear...LOL!

[jaycee]

I knew you would love those darling dogs. Not only will they smile but their tails will wag forever when they see you!

[jaycee]

So darling, Lady! Isn’t it sweet?

[JustAmy]

Thanks for the info, Conor.

I will continue to pray for SSG Dusty as I also pray for the family and friends of Cpl. Charles Dustin “Dusty” Parrish.

Father, Please Bless and Protect our military men and women.

Oh well, I had an “Amy Day” today! Didn’t think I would ever get to answer everyone. But am trying to! Had another therapy session today. Felt like a million when I came out of there. Then I went to hairdresser...needed a cut and color. I take my color with me (because I’ve used it for years) and she only charges me $5.00 extra dollars to put it on! I have always done it myself until recently and its easier to let her do it. Just have to color every 6-8 weeks.
Can’t beat that!
