Thank you Meg and Kitty Mittens! I meant to ping everybody to this picture - but, I posted it without having my first cup of coffee. Big mistake! Blessed Sunday, everybody!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear Meg; that Pic is from a Lovely Bouquet my Husband Brought me. But my Apologies on Forgetting to Compress it! :( I Prepared it while Feeling Ill, and it Slipped my Mind until Now that the Bytes wern’t Compressed. :(

[MEG33]

I do the same...even after coffee and when I am feeling well.
Hope you are feeling better, Kitty!

Only on Daniel Webster Day......

What does this word spell?

Ghoti

Surely, someone knows. (If not, I'll tell you in a little bit.)

Hi, Amy - On Tuesday, I think I'll just try to get things done around the house. My office is closed, thankfully - we're down in downtown D.C. and I doubt I'd be able to get there anyway.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

---

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

My son and DIL are driving down for a late lunch..
I must try to create some order and get dressed for them!

Have fun with them, Meg! We’ll hold the ‘fort’ down for ya!

[JustAmy]

On Tuesday, I plan to run some errands before spending the day at Amy’s.

I plan to be here with others offering prayers for our country.

You’re in downtown DC ... I doubt that you would be able to move from the metro to your office. Take care.

Have a Blessed Sunday!

[JustAmy]

Beautiful message and Opening Graphic today, Meg. Thank you!
Thank you for Opening the doors and for being a perfect hostess.

Enjoy your visit with your daughter and SIL today.

Have a Blessed Sunday!

[ConorMacNessa]

And a Blessed Lord's Day to you, Amy!

We must be heading for the snowiest winter yet. We got 10" of new snow today and snow should continue through tomorrow morning.

Need to eat before going outside to take photos.
