Really pretty Opening today, you two.

Sigh! As much as some of us are ready for the snow to end, we're still in for a few more weeks of cold and freezing weather.

Thank you Amy and Mama_Bear for such a lovey poem and graphic today! (I love Robert Frost - could be because we share the same birthday.)

[Mama_Bear]

Dolly!! Are you in there??

Thanks for compliments on my sky-blue pink graphic. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

I see wolfie's paw prints on some of those. ;-)

Thanks for always being so kind and complimenting me on my graphic contributions, Billie. You're sweet and thoughtful. :-)

Lori, Thank you for this beautiful Snow Welcome Graphic.
The sunset on the snow makes such lovely colors.

Thank you for all you do.
I appreciate you!

Wishing you a Blessed Weekend.

[JustAmy]

Happy Saturday, Dolly. Thanks for sharing these pix. I know that Bill will miss you and the time you spend with him.

Will he be near family?

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, friend. It is my privilege to contribute to this special place. :-)

Yorkie, in Googling Frost's birthday (so I could mark YOUR birthday on my calendar - which I have done), I came across one of his poems that gave me an idea for yet another graphic for Amy's Place. I get my inspiration where I find it, and now I must find the makings for a graphic of a stone wall fence to go with his poem. This should be easy! :-)

Happy Saturday, you two!

[JustAmy]

Happy Saturday, Rus.

Thank you for today’s Food for Our Souls. We appreciate your ODB posts. Thank you.

Have a Super Saturday and a Blessed Sunday.

[The Mayor]

Thank you Amy and Happy weekend to you too.

These Reaganisms are wonderful.

Aren't they, though. Ronald Reagan must be the most loved man that people never met.

Life
by Ronald Reagan


I wonder what it's all about,
and why We suffer so,
when little things go wrong?
We make our life a struggle,
When life should be a song.

Our troubles break and drench us.
Like spray on the cleaving prow
Of some trim Gloucester schooner.
As it dips in a graceful bow...

But why does sorrow drench us
When our fellow passes on?
He's just exchanged life's dreary dirge
For an eternal life of song...

Millions have gone before us,
And millions will come behind,
So why do we curse and fight
At a fate both wise and kind?

We hang onto a jaded life
A life full of sorrow and pain.
A life that warps and breaks us,
And we try to run through it again.

 

President Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1911-2004

geographically close but reality little to no contact

they want him closer for ease FOR THEM when he is hospitalized or dies.

very VERY sad scenario & much helplessness along way

my heart aches for him & the situation

[Lady Jag]

Thank you for the hugs, they are warming.

The eldest in my family I’ve known this b-i-l since he was a teen. Even then he was a carpenter, after his father. He was smart and never without a smile, and it was obvious that he would become part of our family.

        Thank you, MEG!
