Hi, David!
Actually it was an Exam school, all girls, and very strict.
Doing stuff to the statues was the ONLY fun I had there! LOL!
Jaycee, piglets are at the top of my cutest baby animals list. When I was a kid we had various animals on the farm and we’d have a litter of piglets now and then. I helped deliver them with my Dad. Never forgot the first time I did that. They are the cutest. Their little grunts and squeals are adorable.
Cheers!
Sitting on a Beach
Sandy moments on a white ribbon stretching to the horizon
Lapped by salty waters wandering the world dawn to dawn
I walked the strand twixt the sounding sea and the land
Thinking no thoughts at all, just dreaming out of hand
Zephyr wind song set to dancing gulls crying their glee
Racing the shifting tides and chasing waves by me
Circling overhead in a ballet between dawn and dusk
as I pause and smell the sea’s own brand of musk
Sun drenched shore and glittering sea blending sweet
Sea grasses dance in the shifting airs so soft and fleet
I love this place where the heart and soul can heal
And where the human song can finally freely peal
(((((Many Hugs, my Sweet FRiend!)))))
Thinking of you and hope all is well with you, old son.
Keeping you in our prayers and hoping to get up that way sometime.
Just moved to a new house in Buffalo MN, and its a bear to do for two in their 60’s!
How surprised I was to hear from you. I just awakened from nap (here at bedtime). I sat down and didn’t intend to go to sleep.
So glad to hear from you, dear Kitty. I haven’t been on the thread a lot this week, so if you’ve been here, I may have missed it!! Let me say again, so glad your procedure is over and you’re on your way to recovery and I hope free from pain.
Please take care of yourself and keep us informed. We miss you and love you! ((((((HUGS)))))))
Very nice, JOHNN. Thank you!
Welcome back ... we’ve missed you.
Hi Johnn...great seeing you! How are you? Busy, busy, I guess, like everyone is today!

Recently I read Psalm 131, one of my favorite psalms. In the past, I viewed it as an encouragement to understand that mystery is one of the hallmarks of God’s character. It challenged me to let my mind be at rest, since I am unable to understand all that God is doing in His universe.
But then I saw another side of David’s calm spirit: I am unable to understand all that God is doing in me, and it is impossible to try.
David draws a comparison between a weaned child that no longer frets for what it once demanded, and a soul that has learned the same lesson. It is a call to learn humility, patient endurance, and contentment in all my circumstances—whatever they are—though I do not understand God’s reasons. Divine logic is beyond the grasp of my mind.
I ask, “Why this affliction? Why this anguish?” The Father answers, “Hush, child. You wouldn’t understand if I explained it to you. Just trust Me!”
So, I turn from contemplating David’s example to ask myself: Can I, in my circumstances, “hope in the Lord”? (v.3). Can I wait in faith and patience without fretting and without questioning God’s wisdom? Can I trust Him while He works in me His good, acceptable, and perfect will?
Did you know that Valerie Bertinelli who married Eddie VanHalen, name their kid WOLFGANG, too! I’ve always wondered what people call him now. He’s got to be in his “maybe upper 20’s.”) I never figured out why they named him that in the modern age. Of course Valerie and Van Halen broke up a few years ago. All those Hollywood marriages break up. They were not made in Heaven....but the opposite of that! LOL!
Saddling a child with a ridiculous name is an evil, self-centered thing to do. I really believe that.
Well, you know Hollywood folks. They do anything to attract attention. I am going to do a search on that kid.
Here’s a little article about them. (and she feels rejected by her son.)
I was wrong on his age...he’s only 18.
Valerie Bertinelli Feels Rejected by Son
In an interview with Ladies’ Home Journal, the actress and Jenny Craig spokeswoman reveals yet another difficult transition — watching her son become an adult.
“My son doesn’t always want me around as much as I want to be around him,” she writes in her new book ‘Finding It.’
Wolfgang, 18, is now the bassist for Van Halen, and is also in his first serious relationship. Bertinelli confesses that she feels rejected when there isn’t a seat for her on the band’s private jet.
On the upside, Valerie and ex-husband Eddie have reconnected since their bitter divorce in 2007, and she now considers him a good friend.
“Tom (her current boyfriend) and I even sat in the front row at Ed’s wedding last summer,” she said.
Bertinelli and Van Halen were married for 26 years, before things fell apart.
I have a five year old student who already hates her name and wants to change it.
Oh gaawwwd. Can you imagine a Rock Band having to reserve a seat on their private jet for the bass-player’s MOTHER?!?!?
PUH-leeeeeze!
Valerie needs to grow up and accept the “empty nest” as a part of maturing motherhood. If your kids are successful and independent at 18, it means you have done a GOOD job raising them. Duh.
And 18 is considered an “adult” in our society (I was married already when I was 18, and stayed with my husband nearly 40 years before his sudden untimely death). HIS mother would NOT let go, though, and it was a source of great misery to me. When we were in our 40’s, she still referred to us as “the children” and demanded to know every name of every hotel we stayed in when we traveled. Sometimes we would just get on the Bikes and RIDE, and stay at various places along the way. THAT drove her nuts. Oh well...water under the bridge. She is gone now, and I have forgiven her for driving me crazy all those years.

Ooops. Sorry for the double post!
