My Lavender





This looks like a weed patch but it is
really my Lavender. I have been
trying to harvest it this week-end.
In the past I have just let it bloom,
dry and drop to the ground. This
year I am trying to harvest it and
dry it, not sure why or what I will
do with it but I am doing it. Hubby
says the whole house smells like
Lavender which is OK with me ;]
Two Days Not To Worry About

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry;
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday

We cannot undo a single act we performed; We cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow, with all its possible adversities,
its burdens, its large promise, and its poor performance;

Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Any person can fight the battle of just one day

It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.

I found out today that Josh passed his "Drivers Test" for his permit.

Picture for Grampa


This is a beautiful picture done by Cami, our
grand daughter. Grampa brought it home
and placed it on our fridge with Cami's picture
so we could look at it and think of her each day.
Thank you sweet Cami....

We made it Home !!!

Yes, we made it home and we are both so tired....It was a long trip but oh so GREAT!!! We had the best time with the kids. Shari and Stan had the 5th wheel trailer all set up and filled with food and drink. It was like having our own apartment. Thank you guys sooooo much for all the work you put into making us feel welcome. We had a GREAT time and you were all so kind to Josh and we love you for it. He says he will remember this trip for the rest of his life. (Bet you will to.....right Katy?) It took us two and half days to make the drive but we stopped a bunch of times. We had places we wanted to show Kevin and Josh and of course I had to stop every 45 minutes or so it seemed ;-) Even with the gas prices it was like the TV commercial says...PRICELESS!!!!!

We made it Home !!!!!!!

Best Wishes...


"The Sneeze"

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing... and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would NOT pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine.....until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said, 'GOD BLESS YOU , each and every one of you!' And he walked off stage... The audience exploded into applause.

This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends.........and GOD BLESS YOU!!!! This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland .
