Polly and yorkie: I had a post and graphic ready to send to both of you and I lost it all. I am having computer problems and until its under control, I will stay away....its worrying me this morning! Not a good way to start a Monday after all.

.........and it is good to be here!!!!!
I am always blessed to stroll down “ Amy’s Lane”!!!!
I just struggle for time to do everything that is needed in my life.

What a lovely bouquet of flowers!! Thank you.

You know, I had to quit watching the hummingbirds, when that little one didn’t grow, and had to be removed from the nest. (I forget the name - but I got so involved with that little bird, and felt so bad about it, that I just had to not go back.)

Morning Meg!!! Monday! Yes! I LOVE MONDAY!!!
It’s a brand new week, fresh and uncluttered.
May Jesus Christ be praised as we work through this week.

My goal is to set more of my house in order! Clean CLEAN!!

Today is our grandson Ryan’s GOLDEN BIRTHDAY...24, on May 24th!
He is our firstborn grandchild, so precious and a grad student at APU in Azusa, Ca. He is going into special education, which doesn’t surprise me. His only sister is autistic!

HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!!

Many felt that same way. This " batch" are doing famously. It will make you feel much better.

Back in The Day

Back in the day …
We’d pile the boys in back,
And drive down the road to the crossing,
Where Farmer George’s field was laying fallow,

For about the fourteenth year,
And the ruts between the bases,
Looked like plow marks,
Made by boots and by bare feet,

Of well-tanned lads in overalls,
And little else but grins and freckles.

Back in the day …
We’d stop beside the creek after the ball game,
And swing out for a drop into the coolness,
Of a shaded depth of water, too lazy in the summer,

To go out into the sunny parts downstream,
Where work was to be done,
In turning wheels to grind our well-earned grain,
For making bread to sop up the real food,

Of meat that went unwillingly to Heaven,
Protesting in its innocence and fear.

Back in the day …
That lasted near a week of sunny hours,
From the morning light that wound the rooster,
To the last gray dusk that showed the bats the way,

To dust away the wisps of cloudy cobwebs,
That kept the stars from shining bright,
In nights that settled into peaceful silence,
With only pops and fizzles from the fire,

Left banked to sleep until the morning,
When biscuits needed waking for the day,

Back in the day ...
