The weather you all are having reminded me of this graphic. It was so much prettier before I downsized. Amy, I barely got it to the limit.

It's still pretty though, with the curtains blowing in the breeze. :)

[Billie]

I can't help thinking of Little Red Riding Hood, seeing these barefoot imprints. "Grandma, what big feet you have." :)

Kidding aside, it really is a lovely poem and soothing picture for today's opening. Would love to be walking barefoot on a quiet, sandy beach right now. Thanks, Lori and Amy.

[Billie]

I still get mighty confused sometimes! LOL!

That is to be expected. :) I imagine every one of us who finally got it (HTML Tables) first went through the same confusion and bewilderment. You'll get there, and then you'll be ready to help another beginner learn. :)

Good morning, Rus.

I enjoyed reading about the eagle family this morning.

As we see these things happening in our own families, we need to remember this message.

Thank you for ODB.

There are many reasons for family break ups. Some marriages cannot be saved, but the childrens needs are many. So many times children blame themselves for their parents marital troubles.

Children need to know that no matter what, their parents love them and the break up was thru no fault of the child.

Hey ..... Congratulations on your grand daughter. Grand daughters are special little girls.

Bet your kids are anxious to meet their new niece and their sister. :)

Wishing all of you a beautiful and blessed weekend.

Good morning, Conor. Happy Thursday to you.

Hope you have a Terrific Day.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Jaycee.

Today’s Opening Graphic and poem are very relaxing.

I’m hoping we get back to Avila Beach for a couple of days during Easter Week. Marissa loves it and it is so relaxing.

Have a Tremendous Thursday.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Billie.

Yesterday was a day that I was tempted to forget the Holidays. Since I really wanted to use the Header and Divider, skipping the Holidays was not an option.

Thanks again for them and yesterday’s Opening.

Who IS that amazing older guy?

Boy, does HE ROCK!!

Oh, Dolly, what a wonderful ‘send-off’ for Bill - with friends, good food, drink, cake, and friends who love him. But, best of all, he will have the pictures - and will no doubt, fondly recall the memories of his ‘good-bye’ from Ohio, as he turns the pages. Makes me misty eyed, just thinking about it.

Prayers will follow him to his new home, and new friends.

Thank you for sharing with us.

[jaycee]

Dolly, once again you all gave Bill a tremendous party and he just looked so happy! These memories will be with him for as long as he has left in this world and we hope a very long time. All of you have put the spark in his life and without it, he’s sure to be lonely. Maybe the place he is moving to, will have some good folks for him to mix and mingle with.

Lots of friends there and everyone looked like they were truly enjoying everything...pizza looked good! You did a good job, Dolly.

Morning, Billie, Amy and FRiends. I've been awol again and saw your last couple creative openings, Billie, but didn't stay at my computer long enough to comment. I have developed some kind of serious problem with my neck and it's killing me. Sitting at my computer seems to just make it worse. I guess it is a pinched nerve, or the dreaded arthritis in my neck, I don't know. I just put in a call to my doctor. I got practically no sleep last night. Something has to be done, this has been going on for weeks and it apparently is not going to correct itself.

Anyway, I may be away for awhile. When it doesn't hurt so darn bad to sit at my computer (I guess it's the angle that I have to hold my head to view my monitor), I will be back.

Hugs all around.

Bless your heart Billie! Your post meant millions to me!Thanks for the encouragement!
Going to SING anyway today!The Eagles are returning to rebuild!!

Good Afternoon FRiends of Amy's Place

Wheelbarrow is blessed to have so many good friends in his life. I am sorry he is having to leave the area. I am sure this is quite traumatic for him and I hope he adjusts easily and quickly to his new environment. You have been a good friend to him, Dolly. I know you will miss him.

Thanks for sharing his party pix. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

A quick hello, before I leave the computer for awhile. Having serious problems with my neck and just can't sit here long. I have tilted my monitor all different kinds of ways and it still hurts to look at it long because of the angle I have to tilt my head. Guess it's a pinched nerve. I have a call into the doctor, hope to get some relief. Didn't get much sleep last night.

I will be back when it doesn't hurt so bad. :-)

[jaycee]

I hope you feel better very soon, Lori. That neck pain is hard to live with long. My youngest son sometimes has it but usually it only last a couple of days. Yours is lasting too long and no wonder you are going to the doctor. I have a bed buddy...one of the older ones with sand inside. I can put that in the microwave a couple of minutes and it will help my back pain...the moisture that comes through seems to be the best relief for me. The newer ones do not work as good as my old one. Hope to hear you’re better soon! (((Hugs)))
