THERE ARE NEEDS, AND THEN
THERE ARE NEEDS

"The bird does not sing because he has an answer; he sings because he has a song."

Old Chinese Proverb

Peppermint Patty, of Peanuts cartoon fame, can be impatient at times. You Peanuts fans may recall one of those times. School was about to begin, and Peppermint Patty went shopping. She entered the store, and proceeded directly to the counter, and said, "Sir, I need some school supplies...some pencils, some paper, a loose-leaf binder, and some answers. I need a lot of answers."

Most of you have probably encountered someone who continually experiences difficulty in distinguishing NEEDS from WANTS. Conventional wisdom: we need food, air, water and shelter to survive; however, we do not need exotic foods, Caribbean trade wind breezes, mountain spring water and a castle nestled in the hillsides of Scotland in order to survive. The massive explosion of commercialism causes great difficulties for many adults....those who talk about wants as though they are needs. Hmmmmmm, no wonder so many young people are confused.

It is okay to simply be. Consider the bird who sings simply because she has a song.

Thanks for the hymns.

We got RAIN. Not a whole lot (my rain gauge was on the kitchen sink), but some, finally!!

Hope you had a loverly day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The Lord's Prayer

[luvie]

I had a good day in spite of the fact that we had people waiting at the door when we opened! NOT supposed to happen on a Saturday morning! Don’t people sleep in on Saturdays anymore LOL!

Glad you got rain....and hope you get more! I can’t imagine Alaska in a drought situation!

I’ve gotten within several feet of a momma and she’d just stand there looking at me. Then slowly walk off into the brush. There’s a bobcat (we named her Roberta) who’d bring her kit (name of a baby bobcat) to the house and just sit there. We don’t feed them since there’s plenty of bunnies running around for them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very nice, combat_boots, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Did you garage sale? Find good stuff?

[Kathy in Alaska]

What event? Graduation?

Did spel share any of his rain with you?

[left that other site]

YES!

I needed a sewing machine, but I DID NOT want to buy one made in China.

Today, I bought a Husqvanrva Viking Machine with decorative stitches and Buttonholes for $20.00.

And it WORKS!

Made in Sweden. (They also make motorcycles)

[luvie]

That’s the only one left. I’m kind of glad. Not that I don’t like making money, but I’m ready for some quiet time! LOL!

[luvie]

Sneaky snake! WOOHOO!! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and your family.

The 23rd Psalm

[luvie]

...and NO....he didn’t share one drop! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is very cool to be so close to nature...and be able to just admire it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WTG!!!!

SCORE!!

What is at the top of your list to sew on your new machine?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Quiet time? What’s that?

I must admit that today has been fairly quiet. But, while I was running errands “the helicopters were back” and the men in the back yard were climbing the trees.
