New Every Morning~May 10

[Marilyn]

I have been out and about to the Post Office, Gas station, grocery store and the Library. There is quite a crowd at the library for the wild west days, they even have the fire trucks out there and the kids are dressed in the fireman clothes and using the hoses to knock down pylons with the water. Everyone  seems to be having lots of fun.I took Gitsie with me today. Ususally Bebe goes but Gitsie needed a little treat  too. Now I am home again washed my car finished folding the laundry and am watering the trees. it is 71 no breeze. I have allthe windows and doors open to air the house and cool it off some. ot hot enough to turn on the A/C yet.

Pat: you took those words right off my fingertips

Good to see you Gord Brown

[Pat]

HAHAHA!  Awful when people take the words off someone's fingertips!  Good saying, Marilyn!

A gorgeous day today and our daffodils and tulips and grape hyacinths are at their peak.  I took some pictures I'll post in the photo forum.

Gene got his mower fixed (to the tune of $65. ) and finished up the lawns he couldn't get done yesterday.  Now he and a couple of friends are trying to fix the hood of the truck so it will open as it should.

I've been making sure I have everything backed up on my PC so I can reformat and install Win XP.  The fellow who built my machine three years ago put in a copy of his own Win98 rather than a new one, and when I found out, I decided that as a Christian I should not be using an illegal system.  Soooo.... sometime between Monday and Wednesday of next week I'll be delving into the mysteries of XP.

[Anthony]

Hello everyone.  I am so late getting in here today for which I am sorry.  Before I go to bed I must say:

Happy Birthday Papa John
and also:

Happy Anniversary Karma and Bernard
It's great to be able to celebrate the two things on the same day.  The Lord richly bless all of you.

I am off to bed, so I see you all tomorrow.

Anthony.

[Pat]

Goodnight Anthony!


As they say (or used to say when I was a wee toty tot...)

Sleep tight,
Don't let the bugs bite!
If they bite
Squeeze 'em tight
So they won't bite tomorrow night!

My granny from Chester always said that to me when she tucked me in!

[Pat]

Hi Jeanne...

I have Windows XP still in it's box here on the shelf behind me!  LOL  I've never got daring enough to install it.  I'm using Win. 2000.

[Jane Walker]

Whoooeeee  I've been busy today  I decided to get to work on my homepage and get some more pictures there.  First, I needed to scan some more photos ... I thought I knew right where to find them but...alas!  It took some tall doing to find even a few. It seems my daughters have gone through the stash I've kept through the years and made off with a lot of photos (of themselves, of course).  I seem to remember this happening when we were sorting photos for Jean's memorial service.  But what do I know    

Anyway, I did finally get another page together and uploaded to my website.  So progress is slow but it is still progress!!

My daughter, Joy, who is in Mexico, just emailed me and said that in Mexico they celebrate Mother's Day on Saturday ... so she wanted to wish me a Happy Mother's Day.  She is going to a wedding on the beach at sunset this evening....sounds like a beautiful event.  

I'll try to get back here before Pat locks up for the night.  Until then, y'all take care, y'hear?

[Papa John]

Jane, a wedding on the beach at sunset sounds very romantic.

I just noticed that beside me,  Pat Scott, Jane Walker, Marilyn, and Anthony are here.

Happy Mother's Day to those who are mothers.  Anthony, that let's you and me out.

- - - Papa John

[Jane Walker]

Yes it does, PAPA JOHN  especially in Mexico, with the warm breezes blowing and the sun sinking into the Pacific Ocean..... Aaahhh

Thanks for the Mother's Day greeting ... Tell Cornelia
Happy Mother's Day from me, too .... Okay?  

[Anthony]

Papa John said:

Anthony, that let's you and me out.

Do you think they ought to have a son's day Papa John?  I could  just imagine my mother buying me chocolate (we love each other really )

Anthony.

[Marilyn]

I have been watch 3 hours of programs on christian TV about godly mothers. How wonderful to see Christian mother and daughter and sons talking about how they love each other. Now all the mothers are going out into the audience hugging everyone.

[Etta Sue]

Good afternoon.  What a wet day in Indiana.  Even rained out the practice and qualifications at the 500 track.  While we were eating with Dennis and Julie, it was lightening, thundering and the electricity was flickering.  Did it stop us from eating?  NO!

I took a lot of pictures today for the future challenges.  I have them all ready to upload and then post....

Now we are waiting on Tony and Charlene.  Got an email around 4pm saying they would be here between 6 & 7PM.  It is 5:30pm.

I hope the rain is over.  The is flooding stage nearly everywhere.  Water was even running over my road west of me.

Good night to you chatty bunch!!!

[Pat]

"Goodnight" Etta Sue?

As they say in Ireland, "The night's a pup yet!"

[Pat]

This meant a lot to me when I read it a little while ago...

Jesus

Jesus! before our eyes;
Jesus! within the breast
Jesus! above the skies;
Jesus! when up we rise;
Jesus! eternal rest![/size][/font]

I'm logging off early tonight.... but before I do., I wish all the Moms here, very Happy Mothers Day!

Is it too late to wish Karma and Bern a Happy Anniversay? (gosh, 6 years., Friday, it will be 45 years for Norm and I)

A belated Happy Birthday (and a hug) for Papa John!...Cornelia dosen't mind, does she Papa John?

This afternoon Norm bought more shrubs for our yard.  Now that we are $300.00 lighter in the wallet, I hope thats the end.  Its difficult to keep everything watered, especially when the city puts a watering bylaw into effect, that we aren't to water with the garden hose!  Our lawns are sure a mess.

[Pat]

It's so nice to see you Judy!  Sounds like your garden will be nice.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus[/color]


Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

[Judy McKenna]

Janet - You have such wisdom... and I appreciate it.  Your devotional May 8th was such a blessing.. "Keep Quiet" is one I will keep!

Also., your advice to Marilyn... I could easily think of two or three widowed ladies in my church that I could spend Mothers day with if I was alone.  Thats such good advice, Marilyn.. I hope you do that.  I'm thankful that Gilbert is right next door.

Don't worry... I'm sure the other kids will be thinking of you on Sunday.  They may not call, and thats a shame, but I'm sure you are in their thoughts!

God bless you... you are a special and dear friend!

Lovingly,
Judy

[Larry Hanna]

Hi everyone.  First of all Happy Birthday, Papa John and Happy Anniversary, Karmat and Bernard.

I have read over the messages but am just too tired this evening to do any more than say Hi.  It has been a busy day.  

[Pat]

Talk to you tomorrow, Larry!  Go and have a good rest.  You need to be rested up for Mondy.

[Papa John]

Larry, thank you.  Have a good night's rest.

Judy, Cornelia doesn't mind, especially since it is in cyberspace.

Time for our Bible reading.  We are still reading every night.  We are ready tonight to start with the third chapter of Ezra.

- - - Papa John

[Marilyn]

Judy I am not next door to Gilbert yet, not until July 12th.

I called the 81 yr. old lady (Martha) that I take to church, she isn't feeling well, pain in her chest, lungs and back so she isn't going to church tomorrow. I am going over to visit her after church and take her some books I picked up for her at the Library. She likes to read alot. She and I usually go out for lunch after church on most Sundays. But last year on Mothers day her grandson took her to lunch instead.
Everyone else has someplace to go.

[mieka]

I want to wish EVERYONE a happy MothersDay tomorrow, even if you are not a mother, OK?

And Ms Karma and Mr Bernard a Happy Life, Hundreds more years, OK?

And Mr Captain Papa John, a most Happy Birthday.

For me it is a day to SHOP.  

And a (((hug))) to Ms Pat.  

[mieka]

Ms Marilyn... Please do not be sad, OK?
I often wish I have a mother to miss....
I wish I have some moments I can look back and treasure.

The sadness is only that which was your delight...?

((((HUG))))

[karmat]

I think Marilyn can adopt Mieka, then they will each have a cyber mother/daughter.  

Would say more, but my FIL is staying with us tonight as my MIL stays with Bernard's grandfather in the hospital.  The computer is in the guest room (or should I say the guest bed is in the computer room? ), so I really need to be scooting so he can go to bed!

It was a beautiful day today.  Hope everyone has a good night/morning/afternoon!

I did it again!  Hit a wrong key and lost my post!

We had a busy day, with Aaron's graduation and reception and then the mother/daughter banquet.  Diane came, and she and Abby just left for home.  I just wanted to say goodnight to all of you before Pat locks the door.  See you tomorrow!
