Here's a funny quote for you to ponder today:

"The world is full of willing people: some willing to work
and some willing to let them."




Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
-Proverbs 22:29

That white bunny in your picture is adorably cute!

Having hundreds of bunnies hopping past the yard's edge like you did would be NEAT! We have some little brownish-colored bunnies here where we live, part-time, in the city; they are real cute. Each one has a little white "collar" around it's neck, and beautiful dark eyes. The Lord designed them so beautifully!

Sorry your little Shadow disappeared; I had two cats that happened to in the past, and I never knew what fate befell them. :(

We lost a couple of cats that way..

That happened to me, too; my cats, The Toy and Black Kitty just vanished into thin air, leaving two holes in my heart; I never knew what happened to them. It would be nice if someone simply took them, and gave them a good home, but I was the only human my Black Kitty would let touch her, so that couldn't be it, at least not for her. :(

History Lesson (this is interesting!!!)

Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0"
at the end.

1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (assassinated)
1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt)
2000: George W. Bush ????????????

And to think that we had two guys fighting it out
in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.

You might also be interested in this.
Have a history teacher explain this if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the "kicker":

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

AND......................:



Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater...

Creepy, huh? Send this to as many people as you can, because:
Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading...

How sad for you.

Last fall a momma and 3 kittens showed up in our barn - we immediately started to feed them and our daughter fell in love, because the kittens let her pick them up and would play. Momma disappeared after less than a week, but the kittens stayed and we kept feeding them. They were also gone within 2 weeks.

I have absolutely no idea what happened to them, but my daughter still gets upset about it every so often. She loved the idea of barn kitties and was very good about making sure that there was food and water for them everyday.

I'm waiting for one of my friends that have cats to wind up with a litter they wish to adopt out - so that my daughter can have her barn kitties. We have dogs - so there will be no kittens in the house.

While I have seen that before - it always fascinates me every time I re-read it.

Sorry your kitties disappeared, my friend! Not knowing what happens to them when they vanish like that is SO hard!

I still miss my two cats, and dream about one of them every so often: my sweet little Black Kitty. She was special because, for some reason, she was totally wild, and would run away if anyone ever went near her. Anyone except me.Why she picked me out to love, I don't know. But she was my friend for 12 good years, until she disappeared without a trace.

I will have to re-upload it - but I have an wonderful (IMHO) picture of my daughter holding the 3 kittens in front of the barn.

My hubby is not much of a cat person, but he was as upset as we were when they disappeared....he was thrilled with them, they were catching mice within 2 days after they arrived!!!!

Actually hubby thinks it was either a fox or a predatory bird that got them. I'm inclined to agree with him, because it definitely wasn't our dogs - they don't go near the barn and the one time the kittens showed up near the house and the dogs were out the kitties sent both dogs scurrying. And I don't have small dogs!!!

I would love to see the picture of your daughter and her kitties!

I lost my last kitty, the Fang-Face, only a a month and a half ago; I miss him terribly, but hope to get another kitty sometime in the future.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your kitty - I understand the loss of a pet and the hole it leaves. They are so much a part of the family.

I lost one of my dogs last year, the week after we had sold our house in Delaware and while my husband was away. Just last week our daughter commented how much she still misses Sambuca, even though we did get her another dog after we moved.

I envision going through the same thing in the not very distant future because I have another one that is now 11 and is having huge problems with her hind quarters and the internal parts located there.

OKAY - I'm going to be a total show-off. I just looked and realized I didn't have to upload the pix again because I hadn't taken them off line.
