Good morning, Billie.

When I previewed, the rose was too high so I added a < BR >.
That helped and on my computer it looks fine. I wonder why the appearance is different on different computers. Are you using IE?

BTW ... Thank you for this darling little girl and for finding the perfect poem.

I’m feeling better today but when I opened the local paper, I felt that sinking feeling again. The entire front page is a picture of O and Mrs O. Why is the MSM in the tank?

[JustAmy]

We have a kitten
His name is Mr Mittens
He sleeps every day
What does he do every night?

“It takes true strength to refuse to retaliate.”

On a different subject ... President did marvelously during his entire adminstration and especially toward the ending of it; he did not lower himself to get into retorts and defensive rhetoric positions regarding all the attacks, slanders, twisted and ugly words spoken against him.

Thank you, President George W. Bush for your grace and courage, and honor.

Is this a contest? ;o)

Good morning, Majie. Happy Wednesday.

Sorry that I didn’t get back last night. Marissa and I spent 2 hours on homework. I do not like 3rd grade homework!

LOL

Have a great day!

[JustAmy]

Happy Wednesday, Stopem1.

Only Wednesday and it has already been a rough week.
I will miss having a gracious, classy gentleman in the White House.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I was waiting for someone to come do a critique. :)

[JustAmy]

Happy Wednesday, Major. Thank you for another chapter of ODB.

How is the getting conservatives involved going?
The GOP needs to be overhauled or make way for a third party!
Good luck.

Yesterday was a difficult day. Tried to find things to keep me busy. Went to the PO but really didn’t need to do anything else.

On Monday, Marissa and MrJust made a decision that we should go out for an ice cream cone and to get the car washed. We should have gone out for ice cream again yesterday but Marissa was back in school. ;(

The world was adoring him
I would not join them
I chose Christ who feeds me hope

"my favorite things.... let's see...for starters...Bald Eagles!"



Sketch by Fish Hawk

I searched the sketches that FishHawk has sent.
I didn't have an eagle but did find this owl.
Since Monday was Owl Day and Bird Day, I should have posted it then. Sorry.

[yorkie]

One of my most favorite things....
When my granchild brings me fresh picked flowers

[jaycee]

This is a great sketch of an Owl. I can’t draw a straight line hardly.

[jaycee]

I love flowers no matter who gives them.....it is very seldom that I receive flowers but they can sure cheer a person up. What we ought to do occasionally is just send a bouquet to ourselves. Or go to Walmart and get a pretty bouquet cheaper. Its not the same as getting them from someone but they brighten up the table, etc.

[jaycee]

Forgot to tell you how pretty those daisies were and remember “Daisies Won’t Tell”.

[jaycee]

I found this owl on Monday (the day the Owls were being posted and after that I just didn't want to post any thing. I have felt just like all of us have been feeling but yesterday was the worst day!!

Snowy Owl
I thought he/she was pretty

[yorkie]

Beautiful owl graphics, ladies! There is one who lives near me, as I hear it, especially at night, “Hoo - hoo - hoo”. Wish I could see it.

Stonewall Jackson Quotes ...

but are never driven from one!"

“Duty is ours; consequences are God's.”

“Be content and resigned to God's will.”

“Let us cross over the river and
rest under the shade of the trees” (reportedly on his deathbed)
