Please don’t let Fish Hawk tell you that he is only in his 70s because he was old when I came here in 1954...

Hey, everyone. I'm having connection problems. I need to log off for now. I meant to get more pings from yesterday answered but .... you know how it is.

I need to take a short nap before time to pick up Marissa
and help her with homework.

I'll try to get back later.

I was 15 in ‘54’, how old were you in that year? Come on now, tell the truth.

Did you ever wonder why a Native would settle on Maui? Well pull your chair close and let me tell you about all the warrants for his arrest at the time his dug-out sailed for the Islands and the shame of it all was his cousins served his time for him...

Awww .... poor FishHawk.

Someday, I’m going to make it to Maui. Hope there are no outstanding warrants so Fish Hawk will be able to come introduce himself.

What appears to be on her head, is the gloved hand of the soldier who is carrying her by the nape of her neck (like her mama would).

Dave, this has been just horrible for all of us. We were so grieved Friday and Saturday, we hardly posted anything. We were all in deep mourning here at Amy’s and still are. Its even hard to put into words the deep sorrow we all feel.

I wasn't referring to anyone here - should have been more focused. I thoughts were relative to comments by some folks around town and on TV.

I see it so well now and it really is an awww...! Poor baby, its a doxie, isn’t it? My heart grieves for little innocent animals because they can’t speak or tell anyone anything. It is so funny sometimes how your eyes can play tricks on you, isn’t it?

Me too, tiapam. I just told yorkie I feel so sorry for them because they can’t understand at all the trauma they are going through and need their master’s touch of assurance.

The reason I gave you my answer was that I didn't know if you were on Amy's Friday and Saturday and I wanted you to know how sad it was. We were basket cases.

The one's who don't give a rip since it doesn't effect them personally.

A person that isn't touched by what is happening in Japan now, just do not have a heart, do they? I would not like to confront a person like that...LOL! Afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back my spirit!

The things that have touched my heart so, would be 911, when the Space Shuttle blew up after taking off from Florida, this happening now in Japan and wouldn't won't to leave out when the other space vehicle blew up either.

I'm sure there's others like every time a service man dies for his country or even loses limbs or eyesight, my heart aches.

I shouldn't have started 'cause I can't leave out the tragedy of cruelty or death to children or animals.

I didn't mean to write a book, Dave. I'm like Chatty Cathy!

Saint Peter was manning the Pearly Gates when forty Politicians showed up.

Never having seen a Politician at heaven's door, Saint Peter said he would have to check with God.

After hearing the news, God instructed him to admit the ten most virtuous people from the group.

A few minutes later, Saint Peter returned to God breathless and said, "They're gone!"

"What? All of the Politicians are gone?" asked God.

"No!" replied Saint Peter. "The Pearly Gates!!"

Waiting at Heaven's Door

Death beckoned her with outstretched hand And whispered softly of an unknown land, But she was not afraid to go For though the path she did not know She took death's hand without a fear For God who safely brought her here Had promised He would lead the way Into eternity's bright day.

For none of us need go alone Into the valley that is unknown, But, guided by our Father's hand We journey to the promised land.

She was your special loving Mother You shared your lives with one another, And you'll find comfort for your grief In knowing her death brought sweet relief. For, now she is free from all suffering and pain And your great loss became her gain...

You know that her love is with you still For she loved you in life and always will. Love like hers can never end Because it is the perfect blend Of joy and sorrows, smiles and tears, That just grew stronger with the years. Love like hers can never die For she's taken it with her to the sky...

So think of Mum as living above No farther away than your undying love, For now she is happy and free once more And she's waiting for you at Heaven's door.

I was never a fan of MJ in his adult years but that is one gorgeous graphic, Dubya!

Thank you!

HEAVEN'S DOOR . . .

If I should go before you,
If life on earth were through;
I'll stop just inside Heaven's door,
And there I'll wait for you.
You've but to look 'cross star filled skies,
Past the moon and then beyond;
To know my leaving could never break,
This heart's undying bond.

And if you should go before me,
If your journey on earth were through;
You know I will be close behind,
I'll never be far from you.
Across the span of time and space,
This love will reach this far;
For you'll always carry a bit of my heart,
No matter where you are.
