‘Nite, all - see you tomorrow.
I’m all ready to cha-cha-cha the night away in my new ensemble...;^)
Niters, Billie.
Goodnight to my Finest FRiends.
I did some movie “catch up” with the sprained ankle.. I still did a lot on my feet but JUSTIFIED the movies for that reason.
We do what we have to do!
yes, I will take a camera & if my mind is all there I will also have the batteries charged & remember the memory card!
I think I will be submitting some pix to the newspaper also..but they wouldn’t be the same ones for here.. well, maybe, if anyone is interested
I had a long nap..fell asleep TV blaring,coffee pot on, lights on..So much for normal sleep pattern O Dear.LOL
I have an old heating pad I treasure..The new ones all seem to stop working quickly. We surely do have a lot of fellow back sufferers on FR!
Your New Years event sounds like fun..I know you will be smashing in your dress.
Meg, I imagine you are sleeping in this morning. I have done the very same things so many nights I can’t count them. I think we get so tired we don’t know how tired until we sit back and relax a moment and this wonderful sleep comes over us and overwhelms us.
Do you think the computer sitting is making so many backs hurt? I have always had some back problems but seems I have more now. I have blamed it on everything but haven’t pin-pointed the culprit.
I was bad this morning. Went to McD. and bought a sausage mcmuffin...my favorite! She rang up $2.00 and asked “would you like 2 for 2”, and I thought duh? I was paying that much for one, why wouldn’t I accept two. I have to eat again in the morning.........While I am confessing, I had Chinese take out yesterday and have plenty for another meal today. I just don’t want to cook sometimes for one person!
A Sand Hill Crane couple recently had an exciting addition to their family. When they built their nest near the water's edge it immediately drew attention of passers by. Soon there were two eggs sitting on top of the nest and the mother on top of them.
The really curious passed by the site every morning and would stop their cars to get out and see if there were any new cranes yet. Many brought cameras of all shapes and sizes and would stand near the water for long periods of time hoping to catch a photo of the hatching.
Robert Grover, a dentist, didn't actually catch the birth but, he sure did capture some fabulous shots of the Momma, Papa and baby (the second egg never hatched). Then he put together a slide show with music

READ: Genesis 2:15-25
The Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” —Genesis 2:18
In one prison system in the US, 25,000 of the most dangerous inmates endure solitary confinement in small concrete cells. They have virtually no contact with the outside world. An inmate at Oregon State Penitentiary said that the most difficult part about such isolation is “not being able to see somebody face to face . . . to communicate, to touch, to hug, to feel loved, to feel human.” This man’s words seem to scream, “I’m lonely! This is not the way it’s supposed to be.”
The writer of Genesis would have agreed. After God created man, He acknowledged Adam’s loneliness, and said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” In essence, God was saying that the man needed another person with whom he could be fully human. Although the immediate setting is companionship, in the larger context God is telling us that being fully human means enjoying relationship with other human beings.
No matter the cause of loneliness—sin, loss, shame, sickness, depression—God says this is “not good.” He created us to be in close relationship with others (Eccl. 4:9-12) and with Him (Rev. 21:3). Reach out and develop those needed friendships—for your sake and theirs.
Have fun shopping. I hope you hit some good sales!
Dolly, this is exquisite, unutterably beautiful!!
Thank you for the gift of this slide show.
GeeBee and FRiends, you must see this .... Booboo, too.
Good afternoon (((Dita)))
How are you today? I sure will be viewing these pictures. Thanks :)
I saw it early and haven’t written Dolly yet. I was feeling so bad today...my ribs were hurting. I think I strained myself a couple of days ago when I was putting a lamp together. A gift I received for Christmas from my son and DIL. I truly love it.
I got the stem on just fine, pulling the cord through, etc. and then the piece for the top where you screw the light bulb in and then the lamp shade sets on the top. The piece for the top (called the harp) in the directions, I strained real hard to get it into the holes on each side....had to try 3 or 4 times to get it together to place in the holes, felt like I was squeezing a piece of iron together. I just strained everything....it takes a day or two to get sore for me. Gripe, gripe, gripe! I do love the lamp. Its beautiful. It is antique looking but not an antique! Thats my story and I am sticking to it....LOL....
Dolly, I saw the video earlier but was feeling bad and didn’t write til now. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I loved every moment of it....thank you for allowing all of us to see it, Dolly! That doll of a baby bird and Mama was so touching.
Getting ready to run to the store. Have to take food to church tomorrow. There is a big basketball tournament in town that Bristol hosts every year and we have a team from Los Angeles coming to our church. And we know they can eat a lot so we are cooking a lot!!
Thanks again for the video~~~
Be sure to un-check the box at the bottom of the screen for looping the slideshow; otherwise, it never stops playing. But this is SO precious....
OUchy. I also hurt my ribs once when I fell while out walking. I fell so fast didn't have time to extend my arms to brace my fall, so landed smack on my side. That is real soreness, girl.
You will feel better tomorrow, and moreso the next day.
Thanks! I will.
I’m going to make a cup of tea and empty the dishwasher. Be back soon. :) Hope you are still around.
