Oooooo ... how pretty, Yorkie.

Wishing you a Fabulous Red FRiday.

YES!!!
I see you!
They need to get rid of their whole night-time lineup! They are crazy. And Megan McCain said “Michelle Bachman is a poor man’s Sarah Palin.” Wonder what she has against poor people! And she calls herself a Republican. The left wing wacko’s get hold of her statement and repeat it a thousand times. I have never liked Megan! The leftists hate Michelle and Sarah....well to be honest, they hate anyone without a D after their name! (Don’t get me started....LOL!)
Be right there!!
Thank you, Amy.
Thank you, Jaycee.
Isn’t that puppy adorable?
This is wonderful, Dubya! Thank you!!
Yes it is and I loved your colorful framing!!
A message from a little yellow trumpet In sunshine color I breathe and exhale clouds The damp earth of Spring encourages me to be a sign to you Of pure love Pure love is when Glory becomes flesh and sacrifices self so that you may have freedom, and that, eternal.
That is just so lovely, fish hawk! Thank you!

63 and I’m Tired
This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the UK United States of America , Canada, Australia and New Zealand .
“I’m 63 and I’m Tired”
By Robert A. Hall
I’m 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.
I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.
I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor Canadian group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.
I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?
I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.
