HI everyone.  Just a minute this morning before I need to leave but wanted to make a quick posting to say that Pat and Paul just left our driveway on their way to Pensacola.  We had a delightful evening with them and again this morning.  Fortunately they will be back to spend another evening Monday.  They are two great people. 

After a sunny and warm day yesterday we have a light mist this morning and while it isn't cold the mist makes it a bit chilly. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.  Ours is off to a great start.

Larry - it's not often that I'm envious of you easterners, but jealousy has indeed set in.  I'd like to visit ya also.  I'd like then to visit me also.  Tell 'em to take a brief West-Coast trip when they leave there next.  Ok?

Larry:  How nice to have friends visit.  We are biting the bullet and making up our minds about moving  closer for several reasons.  Mainly, weather interfers and the freeway is just awful - too many times we have had to cancel getting together or either end.  Our place is ideal and a view of the mountains but time to face reality and the great thing is we will be able to visit children more often.  The price of gasoline is about $3.27 or so - it is less in Wyoming but I am not moving north. 

Etta Sue:  Sorry about your bout of sickness.  One son was sick for several days and we think that he may have had an allergic reaction to something since it was a first time mid-east type food & his wife did not get sick.  He was really sick and that is rare and never for him. 

Al:  I feel like I am missing out on all of those good meetings too.  LOL on any brief West-coast trip!

One thing I am really hoping for is that if we do get to move closer to the children, I have missed our old church and would like to be fairly close - we will see what happens and what fits for our lifestyle. 

We call traffic patrol people over "Lollipop men/woman because of the sign they carry which is just like a giant lolllipop.

Greetings and salutations from the Irish Bard!

Very Nice poem, Colin.

If you want or need an uplift today I strongly suggest you watch this video.  It is in English.

Thank you ScottyBoy! 

Hi everyone.  It has really been quiet here since last evening.  We have a most glorious day here today.  I slept in this morning and didn't arise until after 9 am, something very rare for me.  I was tired yesterday evening and knew I had no early demands so really enjoyed the extra rest.  Pat is fixing her hair and then we will be off to church.  The choir is singing a very beautiful anthem this morning called "Waiting".  It speaks of waiting and listening for God in our lives and is a wonderful arrangement.

I am sure we will go out for lunch after church and then hope to have a quiet afternoon.  Yesterday it was so nice here that we once again were able to open the house and feel the fresh breeze.

While Pat and Paul were here Pat played hymns and she, Paul and I sang together.  It was very nice.  We were also able to participate in a time of study and prayer before bedtime.  Pat had brought us some Irish Soda Bread and I enjoyed a couple of slices of it this morning for breakfast.  It was very good and I had never had it before.  Before they had arrived the thought went through my mind that it would be great if she were to bring a loaf as I have heard her speak of making it over the years never thinking that she would have done so. 

Hope everyone has a good day and that Ruth Ann you have a nice drive home today after, hopefully, a very enjoyable visit this weekend with your family.

Well, it was raining a little while ago, but now the sun is out.  Typical spring weather.  Yesterday we had a bit of rain mixed with a fair amount of snowflakes.

Glad to see you had such a good visit with Pat & Paul yesterday, Larry.  What a blessing it is to have such visits with those who love our Lord!  Well, we're going to have breakfast, then head for church.  May our Lord bless each of you today.

Hi Larry, if Pat baked that soda when she lived in N. Ireland I am sure it was pretty stale when she brought it to you! If I was picky I would say it was a good auld Ulster soda farl rather than an Irish soda and get Pat to bring you a "wedge" of fadge the next time she calls. Great in the pan!

Hi everyone else.

I think I have been put through the wringer, reversed and pulled forward again!  Friday I felt much better.  I started mowing.  A belt snapped.  I got a new belt.  Helped Kaye Don put it on.  Too loose.  Didn't mow right.  So gave up.  Discovered a virus in my pc.  Ran virus detector.  Long time.  Got up at 3am.  Virus detector detected a virus...got him.  Drank some ice water and it came back up along with what I ate earlier.  Then at 5 am, the other end.     Saturday Kaye Don did get my mower fixed after getting a different belt and bless his heart, even finished mowing my yard.  I think I slept 20 out of 24 hours!  I just didn't have the energy to get up.  I ate some jello and and cottage cheese...so far it has stayed down.  Today I feel among the living again...I said that Friday, I think.  At times, I feel queasy though. 

I have showered and am doing some laundry.  Didn't go to church.  This afternoon if I feel okay, I am going with Ivalou to a funeral visiting.  My growing up friend's husband passed away.  The way I feel right now, as soon as I am back home, I will go back to bed. 

This has all drained me.  I still think it started with the red cabbage at Beef and Boards!!

Hope I remember tonight's my night to post the new devotion.  I will leave the light on by the pc...that's my reminder!!

hi, friends,

pat, my grandson and wife flew back from med school. came in to atlanta friday, so i drove down to be with them and my son's family. how great to get to be with them all.

god has been so good to us.i wish i could tell y'all of so many answers to prayer i've seen while here. even the pastor's message this morning was SO in keeping with our family's situation.

this 1-handed stuff will only last a few more days, and then maybe i can talk in more detail.

god's blessings to everyone.

Keith is now on his way back to Oregon. We had a great weekend and, I will be going there in two weeks. the dogs  sure do like him alot Bebe even let him feed her treats. They are getting used to him. we have talked much about the possibly of later this year me moving to Oregon. "We will see" is the theme of the whole conversation.
Savannah paged me  on Yahoo to check up on me  and Gilbert called on Saturday. It is good to have family checking up to make sure everything is alright.

Etta Sue: I am sorry that you are having such a bout with this food poisoning, I sure hope you get better real soon.

Larry how wonderful that you had suce a great visit wih Pat and Paul.

Glad to hear you aslo had a great weekend RuthAnn.

hello all hope all is well sorry i haven't haven't been naround been busy with school and work it is nearing the end of the semester so we are busy busy busy anyways must be off gotta work tonight. have a good day all

  
            Good afternoon to all on C.P.   Well let me start to tell you all that it sounds great to here about all the good things that are happening within  C.P. 

This morning my wife and I were able to both go to church which we enjoyed so much and our nephew through marrige was preaching and we are so proud of him, he is our associate pastor and a young man with many great idea's for the future as long as the Lord should tarry.

Colin :  That poem made me think back to the lollipop men and women who did such a wonderful job when I was growing up as a boy and then the rest of it was so appropriate.  Thank you for sharing your blessing's that the Lord has given to you.

Paul and Pat:  I am so thankful that you have had traveling mercies and that you are having such a wonderful time may the Lord bless you also on your way home.

Again it is so good to read all of your post's and will try to pray for all.  Yesterday which was Saturday has been the best day that I have had since I came home from the Hospital the doctor told me that I would feel weak for a few week's and he was not kidding.  You don't have much energy and you feel so useless but it will get better with the Lord's strength and all of your prayers.

Again thank you for praying for both my Wife and I and please contiue to God bless to all.  Gord and Noreen.

I know it's early.  I am sorry.  I just feel lousy.  I can't wait until a later hour.  So you may continue posting here while I get back in my bed.
