AN IRISH BLESSING

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Lovely setting, so serene.

I’m sure everyone loves this Blessing....its the most familiar
to me. Thanks Conor.

My Day .... Stuff Happens ....

In today’s mail, we received a letter from the California Highway Patrol. (what’s this?)
It was a form from CHP telling us they had our 2002 Ranger Pickup in Gilroy. I called to let them
know that our pickup was in our driveway. I was told that the pickup they had was registered to us.

After I gave her the license plate number from the vehicle in our driveway, she asked that I hold
until she pulled some paperwork. An officer then came on the line. He told me that the license number
I gave them was stolen. I read him the VIN number from our insurance policy. I was told that that was
the number on the vehicle they were holding.I was told that sometimes whoever takes the vehicle,
counterfeits the VIN number which matches the license plate they have stolen.
We were also told not to drive our pickup because if we were stopped, officers would pull
their guns on us before approaching our car. The reason would be because they would not know
what to expect from us. The CHP will personally check the vehicle they are, holding and get
back to us after they complete their investigation.

Before we left for Fresno, I pulled the registration ... the license plate number on the registration
matched the one on the pickup
being held. Hubby checked the license plate and the nut holding it in the bracket was loose. He then
checked the front license plate and found that it matched the vehicle on the notice. We had not noticed
that the front and rear license plates did not match.

We will talk to the officer again tomorrow, but it is apparent that someone stole our license plate
and possible a 5 gallon can of gas at the same time. About a month ago, hubby looked for the can of
gas for the tractor and it had disappeared. When I talk to CHP, I will ask when the pickup was
reported missing.
