That is the Cutest Post, Amy and Billie! I Love to Watch the Turtles at the King's Ranch,
And there seems to still be a Lot of them, even through Doggie Grabs One Occasionally,
And has it as a Meal. :(

A Good Day to All FRiends!

~Turtle on the King's Ranch~

The Turtle

My Life is One of Food and Ease
Going when and where I Please
I Love this Log Out in the Sun;
My Only Wish: that I could Run!

Being Slow is not that Great;
Everywhere I Go, I'm Late!
But Better Late than Never, Yes?
Or Friends would Miss the Very Best!

I'm Conceited; Yes, it's True;
But Truth is Truth; what can you Do?
It's Evident at just a Glance:
I'm the Greatest on this Ranch!

Among the Ducks and Fish I Swim
Before Retreating to my Limb;
In the Water I can See
A Sight So Handsome: it's Me!

“What country would be a good place? Ireland?”

Ireland or Iceland fewest negatives and decent concepts of freedoms. (Iceland only has an 18% corp tax so my business will keep more money for me)

Good afternoon, Rus. Happy Monday.

"Access to God’s throne is always open."

Amen, Rus. Great message this morning.
Thank you for being here for us.

Have a beautiful week.

[JustAmy]

I'm in agreement, JOHNN.
It will be interesting to see how many show up in DC in September.
It seems that too many of us are either blind or naive.
They seem to think the Constitution will save us.
We need to ask God to Protect those young Americans fighting for FReedom and our Constitution.
Without us protecting it, the Constitution is just a piece of paper.

I worry for our children and our grandchildren.

Thank you for sharing your poems with us.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Kitty.
Turtles are very interesting to watch.
We don't have any ponds so we have no turtles.
We have lizards. :)


Thank you for sharing your turtle picture and your cute, cute poem.

Have a lovely Monday.

I will be back later.
I need to grab a sandwich and then go to the mailbox.

Turbull can roll himself over and everyone else.

Sweet!

Being Slow is not that Great;
Everywhere I Go, I'm Late!

They make a LOT of noise on pavement, though.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Joshua Melton, USA, KIA 19JUN2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place



Cozy Comfort





A tisket. A tasket. We three Kittens truly enjoy this basket!
That's deep and plushly padded and positively reeks of style
And at any moment could be the lush focus of an impromtu Kitten Pile
That can easily fit a fare of two, bravely intrepid and quietly proud

Who do not really believe that two is company and three might be a crowd
This basket makes a most colorful and comfortable base of operations
For getting together to discuss or next adventure or night time exploration
Which might last a very long time due to sister Whisper's fascination

With what Our Pretty One does in preparation to sleep only a few hours
And little brother Blitzen's desire to investigate each and every flower
Finding intricate ways to get to places that are far beyond our powers
Which is embarrassing, since I, Rocco am the eldest and like to scour

Through deep velvet shadows for odd devices, shiny and intricate
That hide in places where a determined treasure hunter shouldn't fit
We are quite a handful! Which Our Pretty One will attest to easily
With our favorite basket always close by to re-charge our batteries

thanks Jack.. I always enjoy your poetry offerings & the selected pix you chose to go with them.

I miss my kitty Cali. We have more in the house but she was “my girl” for about 20 years & very special.

August will be 2 years.

[DollyCali]

I share your sentiments John. sad situation we are in right now & I too am keeping my eyes open for other locales.

[Billie]

Thank you, Kitty. And what a neat poem you wrote to go with your cute turtle! You should write more for us.

Meg, your Father's Day opening and individual posts were absolutely wonderful yesterday!

I am going to post the Tuesday opening in just a few minutes and then probably won't be around very much all week. Thanks to yorkie and jaycee for covering for me tomorrow!

Thanks to all for the pings and the beautiful posts from yesterday.

[Billie]

Thank you for the ladybug poem, Yorkie,
and giving me the theme for today.
Know you'll find many more cute ladybugs
to post throughout the day.

Thanks so much for co-hostessing today
~ 'preciate you very much! ~

[Billie]

Thanks for all the cute posts you make
everyday, Jaycee, and thank you so much
for helping "mingle, mingle" today
so that I can tend to my houseguests.

Hope you know how much I appreciate you!

[DollyCali]

good morning everyone. Today is my weekly expedition about 30 miles east to massage & yoga class in Joseph's home & then dog walk on my friend Shirley's farm.. she has 100 acres of woods, meadow, lakes, streams . I am taking a crock pot of soup, some harvest Bread, and Polka Dot Riesling wine for the yoga group to share for lunch. about 4-6 of us in class.

My dear friend Dave's 33 year old daughter Divine died of cancer over the weekend & visitation is today & tomorrow with the funeral tomorrow evening at 8. I need to decide if I will cancel my plans to go to Ft. Wayne to see Celtic Women tomorrow evening to participate in her service. She was diagnosed 2 years ago with an advanced & very aggressive form of BC. The docs at that time gave her 2 months but God gave her the grace to continue for several years & she was very powerful in her impact on others. I find the time frame of 8 PM a bit unusual for services and will be curious to hear why this was chosen. Maybe so more of the young people who knew her can attend without missing work

Hope all have a great day. Enjoy lady bugs but there are some in the "family" that make their presence here in fall & BITE WITH A NASTY VENGEANCE!

[jaycee]

Good Morning, Billie, and thank you so much for the beauty I just viewed. The Rose opening is gorgeous and your little darling Ladybug graphics to Yorkie and me are darling! Have a good time with your guests and like I said, "Go out to eat a lot".....LOL!

~~HAVE FUN!~~

[jaycee]

Dolly, what terrific colors! I am interested....do ladybugs come in those colors? I know some are red, some pinkish, and there are ivory ones, but just wondering about your colors??

Thank you very much!
Have a terrific day!

[jaycee]

After I re-read your post, you do seem to have a nice day planned today. Have a wonderful time!

And I am very sorry to hear of your friend’s daughter passing away at such a young age. May God be with Dave and the family at this very sad time. (((Hugs)))
