Thanks OESY for the list of celebrations! I will celebrate Intergeneration Day tomorrow - for real! My mom's mom's family is having their annual reunion. :)

Thanks Jen! Well, CG taught me how to post pics. TS is graciously allowing me to have some of his web space (I owe him lots.) I may lose it if he finishes another song though. LOL!

I'm not 'that' kind of girl!

Whew! I was getting worried there for a minute. LOL! ;)

Happy Apple Harvest Festival Day!!!

The Curiously Twisted Tale of the Peg-Legged Pig


My brother had a farm in Georgia, and a neighbor, Mr. Fulcher. My brother told me this story:


Brother: “Good Morning, Mr. Fulcher.”

Neighbor: “Mornin’.”

Brother: “You’ve got a nice place here.”

Neighbor: “Yep Keeps me busy.”

Brother: “That’s an unusual looking pig over there.”

Neighbor: “Yeah. That ol’ feller’s been around awhile. I keep him on for good luck.”

Brother: “Good luck?”

Neighbor: “Yep. That pig saved my life two summers back. I was tryin’ to pull out a stump when the tractor flipped on me. It was pressin’ on my chest so’s I couldn’t breathe. Well, that pig come along and started rootin’ around under my shoulders an’ such, and pretty soon I was able to squirm out from under the tractor.”

Brother: “Wow! I can see why you keep him around.”

Neighbor: “Well, not only that, but here in October, we had a fire going in the kitchen stove. After we went to bed, the house filled up with smoke. That pig started rubbing, and bumping up agin the house right under my bedroom window. We all woke up coughin’ an’ got out of the house quick. Saved all of us, that time, I reckon.”

Brother scratched his head. “I still don’t see what any of that has to do with the pig having a peg leg?”

Neighbor, pulling himself up proudly: “Well, sir. When you’ve got a pig as good as all that, you don’t want to go eatin’ it all at once!”


Don’t forget to notify PETA.

Isn't that thing ugly? I hate spiders.

Poor pig. :(

No problem. He had a job for life.

It was a swinecure.

I gotta get to bed too. Hubby and I are greeters at church tomorrow - so I have to get up half an hour earlier than usual! See y'all later!

It was great to be able to visit for awhile tonight, Jen.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Pleasant dreams and have a wonderful Sunday.

Trust Him

Mankind was given many gifts,
Free will, I think is best.
The choice to live a higher life,
Or wallow with the rest.
I’ve chosen roads that went nowhere,
Because, I knew the way.
The warnings, they were everywhere,
But I did not obey.
The Lord won’t make us do what’s right,
But hints to us, He’ll give.
If we just listen, watch, and learn,
He shows us how to live.
So read His Word, His Truth is there,
And praise His Holy name.
Then once you let Him guide your way,
Your life won’t be the same.
Life will not always go your way,
But with Him, peace you’ll find.
Remember that come Judgment Day,
He won’t leave you, behind.

As the window opened up, the first words I read were
Trust Him
I think that is all one needs to say :) Not Sunday here yet, but thank you Lord Jesus for being the trustworthy, loving Lord you are.

A warm and blessed Sunday to all you lovely FReepers!
