You always fit in, yorkie....you don’t have to try! You are our expert in placing text in your graphics and thats not always an easy job, girl! (maybe it just takes me a long time to do it. Your graphics are always lovely!!!

On my post this morning that was off-centered. I left one center off one of my tables and that one little thing threw the whole thing off. I posted it again after correcting and asked for the first one to be removed.

I will be back with you all after while. I have to have breakfast and get things in order in my house...(impossible job)...LOL!

[yorkie]

Oh, what a breathtaking graphic, JC! The frame just matches the flowers that sweet child is holding! (And your caption - “A Real Breath of Spring” is perfect!)

I am MORE than ready for Spring, and the budding bright green on the trees, and the crocus, hyacinth, tulips and daffodils popping up with their magnificant colors!

HURRY, Spring! We’re anxiously WAITING!

[pollywog]

What a way to start the day!!!

GROUP HUGS!!

And yes, OT, it is a wonderful place to belong....even if I am wayward sometimes! lol.. the wanderer usually returns.lol

Good Morning Jaycee...
Such a precious greeting this is...

Loves to you my friend...

Polly

[jaycee]

Thank you, dear Polly! I asked for the off centered one to be deleted and I replaced it down below the first one. When I work on something hard, I want it to be perfect and mine was off center!

We have a rainy, dreary day, however it isn’t snowing yet, as predicted. It could happen before this day is finished though, knowing our recent weather! There must be a reason for it.

Guess you’re enjoying a nice sun-shiney day?? Hope so!

ELETELEPHONY

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

-- Laura E. Richards (1850-1943)

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, Friends.
Another busy day in Fresno.

I had an 8:30 lab appt on Tuesday.
Since it was very foggy, we had to leave at 7:30.
School buses were delayed 3 hours so we took Marissa to school at 7:30.

My brother has been spending the night here this week.
He is no trouble but it keeps me away from the computer.

Finally got the surgeries scheduled ... MrJust on the 8th and Marissa on the 14th.

I've tried to read thru most of the posts .... You guys are awesome.

It is wonderful to see Fish Hawk, Dubya, NicknamedBob and WayzataJOHNN back.
I always enjoy their contributions.
I know I saved a graphic of those tiny sculpures by Fish Hawk but I could not find them last night.
They may be on Marissa's computer.

Polly ... Barbara is still in my prayers.

Jaycee .... today's graphic is wonderful. Thank you.
It is pretty enough to be used as the Opening Graphic.

Meg ... what can I say? You are a Trooper!!
Your Sunday thread was beautiful. Thank you for all you do.

Yorkie, Tiapam, Oldteen and LTOS ... Thank you for your wonderful graphics, poems, jokes, etc.
It is great to know that I can count on your help everyday.

Conor, Luv and Geologist .... Thank you for coming by and sharing your graphics and thoughts with us.
I appreciate your many contributions.

Mayor .... Thank you for being here with our daily scripture lesson every morning.

Hope I haven't overlooked anyone.
To all of you .... A big Thank You and lotsa hugs.

I will be away again today but hopefully, I will be able to spend more time here tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Too cold outdoors, and too cloudy! Sets a strange mood.

Cry thy heart out
let flow the currents of your soul
this, life is about
and in the end, you find you’re whole

Listen to your inner voice atone
for those things cast aside
as the fates their sickle hone
as your ego sets to stride

All too human
all too aware how your fail
yet you can
and advance amid the pale

[tiapam]

You are so welcome, Yorkie! Hope you have a great Wednesday, as well!

[oldteen]

Mornin' t-pammy!

Thank you for your kind reply and your graphic says it all.

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of it!

[tiapam]

What a precious graphic and lovely frame,, too!! “A Real Breath of Spring”!! Not quite, but we are getting there!?!? Everyone is getting sick of winter by now!! Thank you!!

[oldteen]

Thank you so much, fish hawk!

I haven't had that tempting of an invitation in quite some time! :)

I adore snickerdoodles. Made some a few weeks ago but looks like it's time to replenish the supply.

[oldteen]

Good morning M!

You should have just hopped a flight and enjoyed a fresh baked snickerdoodle! ;) (Along with the beauty of Paradise!)

[oldteen]

I can only imagine!

“Thank you, for referring these wonderful Scriptures today.

_________________________________________________________ Ephesians 2 KJV
"1. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."”

That is such a darling graphic, jaycee!

Thank you!

A WF day to you, Conor!

Did the slop develope? ;)

[ConorMacNessa]

Happy WFW, Teenie - nice to see you! We had an inch or two of snow last night - the big one is supposed to hit us in a couple of hours. I'm leaving work early.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[oldteen]

Yes ma’am, a thing of beauty indeed!
