Hey, I didn’t get to answer posts yesterday but I’m telling you the little boy and girl with the dripping water spigot was the prettiest bronze yard statue that I’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t you love to have that one?? I would and I bet its a pretty penny!!
I LOVE that dog, LUV!! Thank you!!
Start throwing and will just have to see!! :)
Yes, it is bronze, JC. (and is selling for $215.) BUT - if you buy TWO, you save $35 and get FREE SHIPPING! LOL!
I seem to remember you having a T-shirt with that very same picture! (But it wasn’t animated.) LOL!
You do realize how many will 'borrow' that graphic, right? :) (I sure will!)
Very DEEP subject, t-pammy! ;)
How Government Works
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said “someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost.”
So they laid off the night watchman.
As a veterinarian, I was called at home in the middle of the night by a woman in distress. She had swallowed her dog’s heart worm pill by mistake. I knew it wouldn’t harm her, but by law, I’m forbidden to give medical advice. “If your dog had swallowed your pill, then you’d call me,” I explained. “In this case, you really should consult with your own physician.”
“But it’s one in the morning!” she exclaimed. “I can’t wake my doctor.”
Thank you for your prayers. They are doing test on me every day. I start out tomorrow 10am getting some kind of test.
I pray that heals me completely.
I don’t blame you. That will be a popular one from now on! I wanted Conor and Dave to see it but evidently they don’t check their pings....LOL! (I forget to do that also so I can’t criticize too much!!)
WOW! That is awesome.
There was a time when I wouldn’t have thought twice about buying that. But these days finds me watching pennies and dollars. With the cost of plumbers, electricians, etc. these days, we have to use our extra money to keep things repaired! (I will lust after that yard statue....LOL!)
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Angie could not see through the fogged-up windows in her car. Inadvertently, she pulled out in front of a truck. The accident caused such damage to her brain that she could no longer speak or take care of herself.
Over the years, I have been amazed at the resiliency of Angie’s parents. Recently I asked them, “How have you managed to get through this experience?” Her father thoughtfully responded, “In all honesty, the only way we have been able to do this is by drawing close to God. He gives us the strength we need to help us through.”
Angie’s mother agreed and added that around the time of the accident their grieving was so deep that they wondered if they would ever have joy again. As they both leaned upon God, they experienced countless unexpected provisions for the physical and spiritual care of Angie and their entire family. Although Angie may never regain her ability to speak, she now responds to them with wide smiles and this gives them joy. Her parents’ favorite verse continues to be: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Ps. 30:5).
Have you experienced extreme sorrow? There is the promise of future joy amid your tears as you lean upon our loving Lord.
Read: Psalm 40:1-5
Thanks, Mayor. So glad you saw it. You could post it on FB if it would show up! The smaller pics don’t capture the beauty sometimes. It makes me love our nation’s symbol even more!!
Thanks Conor. I do understand as sometimes in the evenings I don’t get some pings until the next day. What matters is that you saw it!
We will keep praying, Dubya! May the good Lord be by your side in these tests. The tests can sometimes wear you out but at least they are trying to get to the bottom of your problems! You are always in our thoughts!
