Smiley in love with ladybug! Awww~~~

[jaycee]

We all feel the same way when we actually see ourselves in pictures!
Looking older is sure better than the alternative. My brother
always says "Well, we're on the right side of the grass....LOL!"

[luvie]

Awwww....that’s just soooo cute! :)

Happy Friday, Jaycee! :)

[jaycee]

Thanks, Luv. I love ladybugs. One time we had a thread about ladybugs (I think Billie was here then). So I collected many ladybug graphics and I never get rid of anything in my files except when I have to. I post one every time I get a chance!

Hope you’ve had a very nice day!

[luvie]

They are such cheerful little critters! I am glad to see them on here today!

I’m having a good day! The weather is picture-perfect here for a change!

Had mine on yesterday when I went to see the NEW ENT. Have to go back the 29th for something called a balance test. He said vertigo attacks do NOT come out of the blue, something triggers them and there are usually warning signs. Like this one a lot better than I did the SADIST who did my ear surgery. No increase in low freguency hearing loss was gained back.

Had real bad night last night, Maybe I’ll get some answers Monday when I see the back surgeon, but I am afraid there will be more test before he gets down to surgery talk.

Sorry I’ve not been on much, just not up to it, not up to much any more. Diver Dave you are still in my prayers.

I want you to meet my Nephew Nick Cross, he is an up and coming country star so any of you near Nashville, he is playing Tootise (SP?) and Ripley’s a lot.

Tears, I’ve lost my share of beloved dogs, and my 2 are getting up there in age, my little poodle is moving awfully slow these days as if old Arthur has set into his back/hips.

I’ll Take Him
March 24, 2012

Years ago, when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley, I developed a friendship with a fellow student who had suffered a terrible loss. His child had died and his wife had left him because she couldn’t deal with the pain.

One day, as my friend and I were walking down the street, we found ourselves behind a disheveled mother with a grubby little boy in hand. She was angry at the child and was walking much too fast, towing him at a pace his little legs couldn’t maintain.

We reached a busy intersection where the child abruptly stopped and his hand slipped out of his mother’s grasp. She turned around, spat out a curse, and trudged on. The little boy sat down on the curb and burst into tears. Without a moment’s hesitation, my friend sat down next to him and gathered the little guy in his arms.

The woman turned and, looking at the child, began to curse again. My friend sighed and looked up. “Lady,” he said softly, “If you don’t want him, I’ll take him.”

So it is with our Father in heaven. He too has known great loss and loves us just as tenderly. Even if our friends and family forsake us, our God never will (Ps. 27:10). We are ever in His care.

I love to dwell upon the thought
That Jesus cares for me,
It matters not what life may bring—
He loves me tenderly. —Adams

If God cares for sparrows, He surely cares for us.

Read: Psalm 27:1-10

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. —Psalm 27:10

Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 5-8

I couldn’t get the first one to load for me. I’ll try later! The second one is outstanding.....tears here!

I went back to my surgeon Wednesday. He hadn’t yet reviewed my MRI I had done by his orders. He told me to come with him and we’d go over them together. He couldn’t get what he was looking for on the computer screen so he called his nurse in....she got it in a minute. I couldn’t tell much about it and I’m not sure he could...LOL! Anyway, he said I want you to have one more test and thats the cat-scan! Thats my 4th test and it has worn me out.

My medical doctor had ordered x-rays in the beginning and then a complete bone scan second. Then this surgeon ordered the MRI and now a cat-scan! My pain has gotten worse during all these tests so I had to go to my medical doctor yesterday for help.

Not sure when I’ll be back on Amy’s today but it will be later! Good Luck for whats ahead for you, Gail!

"If God cares for sparrows, He surely cares for us."

AMEN! So very true, Mayor.

HAPPY CATURDAY!

Good Morning Lady Bug.

Our daughters set up a facebook page in my honor a few months ago. I signed up last night for the first time on facebook. Now I’m learning how to navigate the site. You know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks?!? ;^)

[yorkie]

Good for you, Dave! I signed up a couple years ago, but don’t use it. If you can get on a game called “Draw Free” (at FB), I can play it with you on my I-Phone! LOL! (Talk about ‘teaching old dogs new tricks’!!!)

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats,
for they are subtle and will urinate on your computer.

If animals could speak the dog would be a a blundering outspoken fellow
but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.
