Hi Soni....thank you for your encouragement.    I thought "Oh brother, I cannot do this"   but I just had to concentrate on what Pat told me.    She is a great teacher.     It's funny, if I ask Kevin, my son, he will say things like  "It's not rocket science Mom" or  "you don't have to ride a bike while you are doing it!"    Well you know he just gets me laughing and I learn nothing.   But Pat has taught me and will keep on helping if I forget.

I would like to get a scanner and do my own.

You are so smart to do your own posting of pictures.

God Bless


Ruthie

Just checking in again to catch up on the messages since this morning.  We finally have the sun shining and all of the ice is gone.  It is now in the low 40s.

Etta Sue, I love that saying at the end of your postings.  It really gave my wife and I a good laugh and it is so true.  

Sonja, I checked the Christian radio website you inidcated to see if they were broadcasting over the Internet but don't see that to be the case.  Fortunately I can get Moody Broadcasting on the Internet and listen to it a lot.  I taught myself the basics of html several years ago and have found that knowing probably 100 or so codes and understanding the logic of html makes it relatively easy to use.  One of the thngs you will find very helpful is to use tables as they allow you to control where things appear on your webpage.  I don't try to remember every code and have a couple reference books to use.  There are also great resources on the Internet regarding using basic html coding.  Hope your boys get their computers fixed soon.

Ruthie, Pat and I learned to do html about the same time and I remember a conference we attended in Wilmington, North Carolina where she and another lady from SeniorNet presented a class on using various codes.  This was the first time I had the great priviledge of meeting Pat in person.

JudyB, hope you get your van started and that your husband has a good safe trip home from Tennessee.  Sure he will see a lot of snow and cold weather.

I have a lot I want to get done this afternoon so guess I had better stop writing for the time being.

Here it is 4 PM and I did go to work after all.
The trees are still loaded with ice, power outages in some places but not at work or at my home.  I do pray for the ones who are out...especially with no heat and small children, sick ones and the elderly.  I feel truly blessed.

The highways were pretty clear today and it is beginning to melt off the power lines which is a good sign.

I hope you don't hurt yourself, Pat, digging out of the snow!

Iain, I liked the recipie that Ruthie posted.  I want to try it myself even though I am not sick.  I hope you get better, FAST!.

Hello to all the rest, Larry, Ria, Sonifo, Etta Sue, Jenny, Marilyn, Karmet, Sarah, Judy Mc.
and any others I forgot.  

Thanks, Iain, I too am under par, had a stomach bug yesterday,  felt sick all day, came home and was in bed for 6pm, not like me, no energy and very heavy stomach, am irritable with Margit too, and that's bad!
Love to all,
Chris.

Well the car is running.  I don't need to go out today so I let it run and warm up well.  It is now plugged in and I will check early tomorrow to make sure it runs when needed.

You folks who have the flu, Do yourself a favour, and stay in for a few days to enable your bodies to get well.  Drink a lot, hot water with lemon and honey helps flush the system.  Ruthie's soup sounds good too, to give you energy, but you need to allow your body to heal.  So stay in and sleep as needed and GET WELL!

We have snow up here.  That is a good thing as long as there is no wind.  The temp outside my Kitchen window is,-12*C, so that is better than the -32 we had on the weekend.

Kathy it is so pretty to see the trees loaded with snow.  That is the part of winter that I love.  It can be so dangerous too, so be careful.

Ruth how was your PM bus run?  

Bye for now
Love JudyB

I am home from work, been home for a few hours, but trying to stay off the computer more. I did a little sewing and will do more shortly, I am just taking my time with the duvet, not in any hurry to get it done.

Sorry to hear that Iian and Chris are under the weather.  Ruthie your would sounds familiar to me, the recipe I heard about contains 2 whole red onions and also a  cinnamon stick in addition to what you said.

I went to the Co-op in Arcata on my way home and bought some veggies, tofu and organic Dog biscuits.  made my self a BIG salad for lunch. I am, eating more fresh veggies and fruits now.

My back is pain free but my arm still hurts. Dr. said the arm pain isn't related to the bacd and neck being out. I am going to ask my regular Dr. for an MRI to see what the problem is.

Hi Everyone...thought I would share an answer of prayer.   Yesterday I wore a lovely warm pair of mitts to work. I walk to work and they are warm, leather on the underside and rabbit fur on the top.   After work I went into the mall, took off my mitts, put one in one pocket and one in the other.     After walking around Winner's, I went to Black's and then started home when I discovered one mitt was missing.   I immediately went to Winner's, went to the desk, but was told no mitt there.  

I went to the Lost & Found in the Mall.   No mitt there and not at Black's either.

Today I went back to the same places and asked again at Winner's.   They still said NO MITT.   I decided to walk around the store myself and look.  I asked at the dressing room door, still the answer was NO.    Then I said a silent prayer in my heart.   I was ready to go home when I saw a lady at the Layaway booth.  I told her my predicament.   She said "Go over to the Gloves and Mitts Department, maybe someone would think it belonged here and put it there.   I thought "okay, it is worth a try".   Well, I walked over to the gloves and there to my delight was my furry mitt!laying on top of the other gloves.  I think I had tears in my eyes as I realized God cares about even little things in our lives!

Yes, I was happy that I had found my mitt, but even more thrilled that I am connected to the Mighty God of the Universe who loves me and desires to answer my prayers

I went back to the lost & found counter and told the lady that I had found my mitt and would like to thank the lady who had told me to go to the gloves department, but she had gone home.

On the way home I sang this song:

"I worship You,  Almighty God, there is none like You.    I worship You, O Prince of Peace, That is what I long to do.   I give You praise,   For you are my righteousness.   I worship You, Almighty God, there is none like you."

Pat, do we have the music for this song?

God Bless


Ruthie

That is soooo cool, Ruthie!

Even the little things matter to God.  That's gives me a good feeling to know that.  Thanks for sharing.  and your welcome for the encouragement.  

It is very hard stuff when we first learn but after awhile we get so used to doing it that we wonder why it was so hard.  

Larry~I am having trouble getting 2 windows to open up on one page for me correctly.  I get the 2 windows but there nothing like what I put. hmm...I will keep working on it.  Do you happen to have a good site to learn the codes? Thanks

I just got done helping Zachery with the paper route.  We bought some donuts and had some chocolate milk together when we got done.  That was fun but very feeling.

I am going to mess some more in with my webpage.

Oh Ruthie... that is so neat. (and so cool too as Soni already said...LOL)  I'm so glad you shared that experience with us.  It really does make you realize how much God cares about the liittle things in life.

Larry:  I have an idea of the pain your Pat is going through.  I have rheumatoid arthritis, and my arms, shoulders and neck are really paining me as I write.

Last night I didn't get any more than 3 hours sleep...I feel as though I could fall asleep here., so I will close down early.

I always check the prayer requests...thats a must!

I hope everyone is keeping warm., and Iain I trust you are feeling some better now too.

Ria:  sounds like we both have the same type of "bed warmer"...lol

WELCOME TO HELEN AND SHAWN..... we hope you post and tell us a little about yourself.

Etta Sue:  How is Jerry these days?  Please tell him I was asking for him.

Great having you back Janet....you sure were missed, and I look forward to seeing some of your photos.

Pat - is there any possibility you could send that song, with the clickable music, to my friend John Luken?  He is jluken@sbcglobal.net.  Thanks.

Done, Al!  Sent you a copy too.

Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant! Pant!
I just ran in from digging snow.  While I was digging, I was singing and thought I'd get you all to sing too.

I'm just singing away.  Thanks for both the songs, Pat.  
A wonderful good evening to all.

Hello again: I just came out of a nice hot soaking bath. MMMMMM. got my jammies on and thought I would stop into my favorite place and see if anyone was home. I had a nice cuppa tea before my bath and no one to share it with.  I don't think  will be back here tonight so I will say good night now. Sorry I missed y-all. I come a knockin again in the morning.

Until then.

Page 3?! Oh come on folks...I know you have more to say then this.  

We just got through eating and cleaning the house up. I don't have to get up early to take Troy to practice, yipeee...so I think I might stay up a bit later.  If I can.  

You all hear about that worm going around and then that new bird flu?  Pretty scarey stuff.  With the mad cow disease and all going on I am seriously thinking of becoming a vegetarian.    I could live with it. I think.

Good evening all.  Hope you feel better soon Iain, Chris and others who are not well.

Had a quiet day today and stayed indoors.  Rain and chilly fog outside.  Almost have forgotten what the sun looks like.  Tho' of course, Ralph Waldo Emerson did say that 'Most of the Shadows in this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.'  Hmm!!!

Wendy is still quite ill.  Did not cook their dinner tonight as Ralph got them something from take-out.  I need to get to a store and stock up on quick foods to cook.  Amanda is off meat these days and that makes things a bit difficult.  Not that I blame her, considering all the 'Mad Cow talk.'

I wrote a letter to my sister in Australia and printed some photos of my new home.  Took them with the Digital Camera.  Wish she used a computer and could simply e-mail.  That makes life so much simpler for lazy folks like me.

Thanks for all the info on The Passion of Christ.  I am really interested in seeing the movie and hope it comes to a nearby theatre.  Rarely go to movies...think this will be worth the effort.  

Our BC gov. is an ongoing horror movie in itself.  Politicians alleged to be involved with the Mafia.  Ministers getting married to same sex partners.  It is rather like a nightmare come to fruition...or something!
Getting so that I head straight for the comics when reading the morning news.

Okay!  Need some more of Soni's cheery posts.  Think all this rain is truly dampening the old spirit.  Will go and read some of the other posts and look at pictures.  Get back to what our lives are really about.  
God Bless and pleasant dreams.  Liz.

Soni, Soni, Soni...........I saw you looking right at me when you made that last comment about only three pages.   I'm here.  I was wondering if I had anything to say, but since you said I do, then I guess I do.

 Lets see.....spent time in prayer this morning as usual.  Then decided I simply had to get curtains for my kitchen window, so went to Walmart and found some lace panels with swag and valances for the in between.  I love the outdoors, love the light coming in the window, so didn't want heavy curtains or blinds.

 I slept in!  I made sure the bedrrom door was closed last night, and only once did I hear Katie Kat knocking on the door.  Once she, and probably Shadow too, realized I wasn't answering,  she stopped, and I slept till 8.  8!!  I had lots of energy today too.

  Etta Sue, I sure understand about wind in the house. haha   It's so much fun to watch the cats begin to play.  Shadow is pretty new here, so it took awhile for Katie to accept her.  Shadow was ready to play immediately, but she wisely stayed out of Katies way for awhile.  It makes me smile when I see them chasing each other around.  Shadow goes for the high places and Katie still stays on the ground.   It does things in my heart to have them here wanting my attention......Shadow will get really close and stare into my face when I'm praying out loud.  If I am brought to tears, she looks so intent.  I wonder what she knows.
Kate on the other hand, just wants me to make sure she is comfortable and has food.  She's a sweetie,  and I love her.  I love them both.  It's so neat discovering their personalities as they interact with each other.  God made animals, pets, for us to love.   I need them as much as they need me.

 OK, Sonja.......are you tired yet? hehe

  I love you all.   Nita

I don't have anything of importance to say tonight.  It is hard when your computer is "fixed" and then you can't find stuff like before.  I finally got my icons I need back on PSP, but now I cannot find my FTP program, so I still can't post photos.  Maybe tomorrow..........

They say we are in for even colder temps for a few days, so I'm glad I got my errands done today.  Tonight we went to a client appreciation dinner our financial planner had.  It was really nice, and really good food.  And we were home before 8:00!

I'm headed for my bed now!

Iain and Chris, I hope both of you are feeling much better when you wake in the morning!

Soni.....

Well folks, I am off to bed.     There is so much snow outside.  I will take a picture tomorrow and show everyone.  The weatherman said ice pellets and freezing rain earlier today, but we didn't get that, thank the Lord.   We just got snow and more snow!

A man down the street has a truck with a blade and he shovels out my driveway and the adjoining driveway.    So I just have to shovel the sidewalks.

Have a blessed day tomorrow.


Love Ruthie

Time to lock the door a few minutes early.
