Hi, Purple Mountains:
I borrowed the photo from another site. I'm fair with a camera, or paper, charcoal and paper. Though many think I'm better with words.
I'm glad you like the poem.
Jack.
We'll just see what happens. I'm usually not encouraged to take a lot of time off at once, but this is waaaaaaay different. So, I'll start getting them used to the idea pretty soon! LOL!
Sweet dreams, Mrs.N. Talk tomorrow! (((hugs)))
Very nice Jack.
My sister is having a bit of a problem at the moment.
New Puppy doesn't know it should be friends with the resident kitties.
LOL.
I guess I'll just have to cook for you then.LOL.
LOL.
My bosses will frown ,too,but I do have three weeks of vacation so they better not frown to much.LOL.

Be Still And Know

In February 1946, the world's first general-purpose electronic computer was introduced at the University of Pennsylvania. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) filled a 30-by-50-foot room, weighed 50 tons, and used enough electricity every second to power a typical home for a week. Today, a pocket calculator contains more computing power than ENIAC did.
A decade ago, one observer noted that computers and other hi-tech gadgets have "snuck up on us and we don't realize it." He went on to speak of how wonderful it is to go where there are no computers, phones, or radios, or to go to the beach and listen to the waves.
Undisturbed stillness has become more elusive and therefore more necessary than ever to seek. The Lord God said, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" (Psalm 46:10).
A respite from activity allows us to focus our thoughts on the majesty of God. A quiet place helps us to listen to Him. Away from voice-mail and e-mail, we turn from our daily schedule to His eternal plan.
In our fast-paced world, we need to be still and acknowledge that God is in charge. David McCasland
Spending quiet time with God will bring quiet rest from God.
This one looks like my male cat, Butterscotch. "Butter" is an old dude. About 10-11 years old. Very affectionate.
This is a picture of what Muddy Waters looks like, except Muddy is now approx. 6 years old. He loves people.
Since this is a pet lovers thread, this is a perfect opportunity to announce that both of these guys are available for adoption. Both are indoor animals who have been part of the family for a long time. We are located in Maryland and if anyone out there is interested or knows of anyone, please FReepmail me for details.
Oh no.How come you have to give up those adorable guys?
I would take them in a heartbeat,but I am on the left Coast and don't have much room for two new additions to the family.
Hiya, Mrs. N.
Really, I must find good homes for them because Mr. Beachy and I moved into a very small house (my cottage) and we have two dogs and two cats. We are only allowed to have two pets in the co-op neighborhood where we moved. Plus, the house is too small to handle four pets.
I feel better finding a home for them than sending them to the pound and hope someone will adopt them.
I can understand that,but it is always hard to give a pet away,even if it is going to a good home.
I am praying for you and your beloved pets that you'll find someone that has the time and love to take in the two.
{{{HUGS}}}
Thanks for the prayers. That is my prayer too. I want them to have a good home with people who will love and care for them as part of the family.
You are welcome.:)
Awwwww, two cute little buddies. I wuvs the kitties.
PAL
LOL!
That's a sweet story.
Thanks for the smile :)
Do you know what kind of puppy that is?
Hard for me to say without scale, I don't think he was originally next to the kitten, I think he was photoshopped in. might be any of the herding dogs or a mix, they're born with flop ears and they stand up during puberty... going through a phase where their neither standing or laying flat ;~D
