Beautiful Pledge this morning.

Good Morning Billie. Have a terrific Red Friday and weekend.
A sprained ankle, so common during summer activities, can cause lingering problems if not properly treated. Minor sprains respond well to RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. But people who ignore a serious sprain and keep going in spite of the pain run the risk of a greater injury. A podiatric surgeon says we often get used to sprains and put up with them, but "even minor sprains should be rehabilitated so they don't happen again." And, of course, a major injury always requires proper treatment. When Jeremiah spoke the Lord's message against the corrupt spiritual leaders of Judah, he said: "They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, saying, 'Peace, peace!' when there is no peace" (Jeremiah 6:14). He repeated the accusation of inadequate treatment for serious spiritual injury in 8:11, then asked, "Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there . . . for the health of the daughter of my people?" (v.22). Jeremiah's searching question inspired an old spiritual that proclaims the message of hope and forgiveness we still need today: "There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul." That balm is the healing power of Jesus for our deep wound of sin. Have you applied His balm? David McCasland
But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. Trad. The Great Physician always has the right remedy.

Good Monrning Ms.Billie..I have a red bathing suit on (will do some yard work & mowing early & have a red top/white shorts for later (actually a repeat of what I had on Wed for Bill's party). I had something else set out & when I saw your ping, the light bulb went off. The pledge is very attractive, I agree. Will be in & out today. Is your company still with you? I have some coming in this weekend also
Contrary to popular media belief, the USA is not arrogantly forcing unwilling allied countries to bend to our policies. They are working with us to combat terrorism/piracy. Fighting those evil forces benefits EVERYBODY:

Picked out the 10 biggest/major cities & did each one for best locale & best value. I would link it here but if you do not have aol, you cannot access it.
Hi, Dolly, Billie. Thanks for the thread.
The Great Physician always has the right remedy.
I'm in.
Thank you for the ping
hope your weekend is a happy one
Morning, Dave - thank you. Stay tuned for Tuesday's - I think you'll like it even better. :)
Catching up on front yard flower beds chores this morning, I captured several volunteer zinnia plants that had strayed to odd places, and tidied the border grasses -- and then placed the sprinkler to water same.
Its circular spray was doing a fantastic job, and proved positvely irresistable to a cardinal similar to the picture above!
While in the back yard there is the bird bath and now 3 on-the-ground-bowls for all the birds and squirrels and occasional cat or dog, they often are quite crowded.
Different species declare truces, ignoring the others "in use," and drink and/or splash away.
From the computer room on the front side, I heard the distinctive happy song of a cardinal, though, and looking out, saw a sole female, hopping back and forth on the front landing brick edge, catching the spray each time it came around!
She ruffled her feathers and bathed over and over - flew to the adjacent holly hedge briefly, and then returned again and again, for at least 20 minutes, singing her heart out!
It was like watching a small child squealing, playing in a sprinkler --
all God's creatures delight in that on a lovely June day --
Was poised Tuesday with ammo to celebrate the First Full Day of Summer here, and it didn't happen!
We're having another rather nice moderate one, like last year's --
adequate rainfall, and almost no days exceeding 90 degrees - nights still in the 60's - -
I much prefer it to shoveling snow and ice!!
I don't think I know *anyone* who works in the yard as much as you do! No rest with such a huge yard, is there?
Company left this morning - it's been a long week. :)
It's Friday and "The Boys" are buggin' me to use the car to go cruisin' tonight. Stay tuned - might be a Kodak Moment. :)
