Good morning, Dolly.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
I know that you will miss Bill. I hope you will be able to visit him once in awhile. He is going to miss you. You have been such a good friend.
I enjoy your pictures but that looks awfully cold and miserable to this gal from sunny California.
Have a great weekend.

Is That You, Neighbor?
And who is my neighbor? Luke 10:29
An English yachtsman sailing in the Caribbean, 4,000 miles from home, lost his mast in a storm. He had been adrift for 2 days, and was taking water in 20-foot waves, when his desperate SOS was picked up. According to Ananova news service, 90 minutes later he was rescued by the captain of a 116,000-ton superliner.
Only when he was pulled out of the water did the rescued sailor discover that the captain who had responded to his call for help was a neighbor from his Hampshire village of Warsash. The rescued man later asked, What are the chances of being rescued in the middle of nowhere by your neighbor?
Jesus saw neighbors in unlikely places. When an expert in Jewish law asked Him to define the neighbor we are to love, Jesus drew a big circle. He told the story of a merciful Samaritan to show that a neighbor is the friend, stranger, or enemy who needs the help we can give (Luke 10).
To distinguish ourselves as Jesus people, we need to show kindness even to those who wish us harm (Luke 6:32-34). Only then will we reflect the heart of the One who, while we were still His enemies, paid the ultimate price to come to our rescue.
How many lives shall I touch today?
How many neighbors will pass my way?
I can bless so many and help so much
If I meet each one with a Christlike touch. Jones
Our love for Christ is only as real as our love for our neighbor.

Numbers 1-3; Mark 3

Good morning, Maj. Yes, they were the Ruby Red grapefruit and I was the only one who liked them at all, but even I didn't like them enough to deal with 200 of the things. And I really don't like the fruit rats who seem to love them.
Another reason I had to have JK chop it down is because it was casting too much shade on the birthday roses I planted. Now I will get more sun in that area of the yard and also have ordered a white Pope John Paul II hybrid tea that I will put in place of the grapefruit. I love white roses and have heard good things about this one. So, this summer I will have a white rose, the deep red rose and the Chicago Peace all keeping each other company. It should be a colorful area of the yard now instead of littered with dropped fruit and a fruit rat habitat. :-)
Hope you have a nice Caturday!

Cats are little, tiny women in cheap fur coats LOL!! That's why I don't have cats. There is only so much attention to go around in this house and I don't need the competition. ;-)
Your Caturday graphic made me smile, Billie.
Have a good day, you two.

Mary chose a pro fisherman,Byron.
Still together.
Andrew didn’t stay with his choice... is married now, not sure but I think a baby is on board now too.
I have watched every season of the Bachelor;and a few episodes of the Bachelorette...Not into that one,really.
& this season I haven’t really watched The Bachlor.
I didn’t like Charlie’s season either.
My fave season was Aaron Berge but his final choice was a BIG mistake!
Shoulda been Gwenn.
I also enjoyed Andrew’s season.
I watched A B’s & A F’s every week...
The others not so much.
If I like the Bachelor/personality/humor/looks/manner etc...I watch each week though.
But with every season I do try and catch the final show,out of curiosity. &to hear see the romantic dialog/interactions.
Final episode tune in of The Bachelorette too. For the above mentioned reasons(dialog/interactions on the final show.)

Good morning, Defconw. Welcome to Amy's Place.
It is great to meet you.
Hope you come back soon and often.
At Amy's Place, Saturdays are Caturdays.
We all love our pets ..... cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, etc. :^)
We only have one cat except on the weekends, :^)
On the weekend, my son brings his kitten to visit.
She loves to play with shoe laces so he always puts a couple in her carrier.
Wishing you a beautiful Caturday and a Blessed Sunday.

Good Morning, GeeBee. Thank you.
You and Booboo have any special plans for today?
I plan to make a trip to the Dollar Store this afternoon.
The PTA needs some hats for St. Patrick's Day.
That was a good funraiser last year.
Have a Wonderful Weekend.

When I get online at about 9:00 and start wishing everyone a good morning,
I wonder how many think I've lost my mind. :)

You should see my house when JustJr brings Cissy and Mr Mittens insists on coming in.
Mr Mittens wants to find a soft place to spend the morning and Cissy wants to play.
She pesters him until he asks to go out.
Have a super Caturday and a lovely Sunday.
