There are so many beautiful underwater pictures, it was hard for me to chose just ‘one’ to post to you. LOL!

If your grandson sees anything like in the photo, he will be “HOOKED” for life!

Have a great Friday!

LOVE it, Lonestar! Great video!

Now, is your shoulder healing? And when did you get a busted lip? I may have missed some posts, as I had out of town guest for the past six weeks, and haven’t been online too much. Heal soon, and have a great Friday!

Pray for wisdom and understanding.

And guidance. I always Pray for Wisdom, understanding and guidance.

"Thank you for posting the video!"

Oh, Kitty - I'm so glad you got to see it. That pup is now in a new home, with people who will love him for the rest of his life!

I fell @ Bush airport waiting for my flight to the Bahamas and busted my upper lip. I told EMS that my arm hurt...they put more ice on my lip. I told them my arm hurt...again they put more ice on my lip. I told them my arm hurt; he lifted it up and said that he didn't think anything was broken...what I wanted to hear....

So I flew to the Bahamas, used my purse as a sling, and managed to get into a wet-suit to "swim" with dolphins.

When I got home I went to the dr. and I had fractured that round bone in my shoulder.

My dr. looked like Kevin Costner...so was worth it!

I'm in PT now for my messed up rotator cuff. The strongest pain meds I ever needed was 2 Aleve and I never lost a minute of sleep.

I was at my brother's for a month because I couldn't drive home...and I couldn't do anything to help there...not even empty the dishwasher for 2 weeks. I got good TLC...and a lot of naps!

Amen to guidance. It is supreme. Without it we wander and drift away. Vigilance of our faith is required.

Hi Conor! Hope you are having a great Friday!!

[yorkie]

That is a lovely graphic, Meg!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
