Word of the Day
beneficence \buh-NEFF-i-suhns\, noun:
The practice of doing good; active goodness, kindness, or charity; bounty springing from purity and goodness
From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence.
--Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

[S]he had disseminated around her what seemed an involuntary aura of beneficence and goodwill.
--John Bayley, Elegy for Iris

On this Day in History 1781 British General Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown,
effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution. Pleading illness, Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony; his second-in-command, General Charles O'Hara, carried Cornwallis' sword to the American and French commanders. As the British troops marched out to surrender, the British bands played the song "The World Turned Upside Down."

On this Day in History 1812 One month after Napoleon Bonaparte's massive invading force entered a burning and deserted Moscow, the starving French army was forced to begin a hasty retreat out of Russia

Sweet Dreams Dear Tom...Don't bite the bed bugs!

I never throw the men out for meanness.They are not used to our country and are insulting.This man asked the price of blankets,they were very nice.I said 2.00 each.He stacked up 15 blankets and said how much are blankets.I said 2.00. He shouted at the top of his voice-TOO MUCH.I said please put them back and he said no I want them but TOO MUCH.I said put them back and GET OUT.:)

[fatima]

Thanks Kathy-all the cryers-workers,people who will pull up and we are not there,donors who put thought into it and gave from their heart.I will miss the donors who gave at the doorstep never seen with a note for someone in need and if settlement does not go through on Friday I begin again.

[luvie]

;o)

Nite Tom!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending prayers for you and the settlement. IF you need to start again, you know that God will be there for you, and you have lots of friends out there, like the ones who stop your husband's truck, and the ones who helped clean up. And your donors can find you thru your radio show.

[luvie]

Woohoo! Found this by accident....great going! You have worked so hard for this and deserve your chance! Now celebrate!

[fatima]

I need to get through settlement.Kathy we are OK after settlement.Father Joe died 3 weeks after we bought.He called the day we bought and said I can't breath I feel like I am drowning-he tricked me-he never told me he was dying.He told me to buy.He loved us and wanted us to have a home.I have no tears for the thrift store because it is rumored I always gave everything away.:)

[Kathy in Alaska]

God will make sure that things turn out the way He wants. Remember you tried to sell before. ((HUGS))

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Not to worry, Johnnie. The first gray hair is usually a surprise...but where there is one, many follow. LOL!

[fatima]

((HUGS))Right since we threw everything out I have a backup plan.We will begin again.Did you you know that everything we had was donated-racks-displays -product everything.Amazing it took 2 30 yard container's and we filled them both .

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm betting that Father Joe will be watching you if you need to start again. He got you started once. LOL! And you know people will find you wherever you are.
