Christian Photographers Community

Hello to everyone.
I want to thank all that welcomed me back..( if I miss some one, forgive the old man..) 
Nita good to read your messages again..

Larry thank you so much for the welcome back, your posts are always interesting, and You are still doing lots of volunteer work.  Good for you. 

Iain you post have some good Christian advice .. thanks..  Oh yes perhaps your son will loan you his auto.   

Etta Sue thanks for your welcome to me.

Jane Walker thank you also, and did you use to have the handle "jay walker" ?

Gord , I liked your description of the "Holy Land" being above England.
I have a son living in York, been there about 30 years.  I like Scotland as I have visited there a few times.

Al Moak, always good to read your messages..I have often thought your middle name should be "Faith" because I have never read any thing you wrote that suggested otherwise.

Pat, I am praying for you and your Family.

Hi every one. Hello to you Boots I've often wondered about you.

I have been so busy today that I haven't even been able to get out and walk with the dogs. I will be doing that this evening. I had to leave twice to take care of some business and now I am finishing up my laundry as I will be busy tomorrow too.

They are coming to install my Satellite dish between 8 and 12 tomorrow morning.

Fay called me  today and I will be going to her place tomorrow to do some shopping for her and out to lunch with her. Her caregiver quit and she hasn't got a new one yet. Her brother in law passed away earlier this week. The last of the relatives in her age group. She has outlived them all at 98 y.o.

In the afternoon tomorrow if the sun is out my neighbor and I will go out to Patrick's Points and see if we can see some birds or whales with our binoculars. I will also have my camera with me and look for some photo ops. I think there is something going on at the Indian village out there tomorrow too. Hopefully they will have some Salmon on  a stick that has been smoked over a campfire Indian style.

I will be gone in about 3-4 hours, Nita.  Joy has managed to contact Tim and Dave and they are supposed to (try to) get their sisters to join the family at Joy and John's for a BBQ Saturday afternoon/evening.  I will be there .....  other things are causing tension and nerves are frayed so this just might be a quick trip.    

Well the trip with my neighbor has been cancelled. We decided to go to the county fair next week  maybe Friday afternoon.

Praying for you Jane.

Nita ~ Cornbread Salad is delicious.  You can find it here in the Recipe Section.

I am on a run today.  Busy, busy, busy getting ready for FROGGS back in the woods.  So I won't comment individually.

I have already been back to the woods ( you can click on my profile, zoom in on where I live and the woods is at the bottom or south of my house.  Also my house is on the left, Ivalou's is in the middle and Kaye Don's is on the right.  That house across the road is a dump...been remodeling it for 10 years or more).  I went back to set up my open-air potty...a toilet seat on a 5-gallon bucket, then a curtain hung from tree to tree with bungie cords for privacy.  I was surprised to get back there and Jeff, my niece's boy friend was back there and he has really spruced up the place.  Cut down dead trees, burnt the wood/limb pile, mowed all around and even raked.  Said he has been back there about every day for two weeks.  You have to use my drive to get back there and I never saw his truck go back!! 

I am all ready to go back the 3pm except taking a shower and changing clothes.  I just know it will be a fun time!

Etta Sue what is FROGGS?  You may have answered this before, and I missed it.

Jane will be praying, have a good time away.

Boots, It is always good to have old members back in touch.  You have been missed.

Has anyone heard from Meeka?  I miss reading her posts.

It is a hot day here in the north, Kassie got 1/2 of our lawns mowed and ran out of gas.  Also Elizabeth is chomping at the bit to mow the lawns.  You know it is something when you don't allow a child to do a job, because you love to do it yourself, it is that job they want to do themselves.  I do prefer to do the mowing myself, but it is nice to not have to worry about it.

Heather went to a Randy Travis concert at Casino Rama last night.  5000 people heard the gospel.  I was wondering if he would sing his gospel songs in that setting, and was really surprised to find he did.

Kassie and Elizabeth go to camp on Sunday, for a week.  Camp is always a good time for kids to learn about God and outdoor activities.  Pray that their spirits are stirred to follow His leading. 

Well I am off, Have a big day here.

Bye and God bless.

Hi everyone.  Good to read all the postings.  Jane, hope you have a good trip and Etta Sue, enjoy your family get together.  I will ask you all to forgive me for being brief but am fighting a summer cold and am not feeling very good.  I spent the night in my easychair, which turned out to be very comfortable.  I did feel better this morning but now am not feeling up to par.  It has been a long time since I had a cold, much less one in summer. 

Welcome home Iain!!!!!

Gord Brown:  We are going to be in Scotland sometime in October  and Don has made come committments/reservations- staying two months, Oct & November in and out of Cambridge.  I hope all is going well for you!

JudyB:  A big box full of puppies,how much fun that can be for all of you.

Al:  You always say the right thing.

Karmat:  I used to stop any "fighting" between the four children & tell them that if they "fought" they had to hug & kiss each other and apologize - believe me, the boys didn't want any of that kind of punishment.  Sometimes, all fours corners on a room had one child facing each corner.  Now they are best friends as well as brothers & sisters. 

Checking in here in higher hills, above 5,500 ft. in altitude and the temperatures have been into the low 40's (F) in early morning.  We spotted a bull moose yesterday sitting by a pond and today, osprey parents teaching their young to fly, sat by a lake & Don fished & I didn't because I knew that the fish aren't biting, so read a silly book. 

Janet:  Take care

Pat:  A big relief that it isn't your heart but a pain like that can be a heartburn as well, so they might check into it sometime. 

Carol

  Morning y'all!

Hi everyone.  A brief checkin this morning as this cold really has me down.  I was able to sleep in bed last night without too many coughing spells.  However, this morning I ache, it has moved into a head cold.  At least my throat isn't as sore.

I had hoped to go to church this morning as our choir is singing but obviously that is out of the question.  I had alerted the choir director last evening that I likely would not be there.  I can't image what my signing voice must sound like.  This is the first service this fall that the choir is participating in the service.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning Samantha; How are you doing?

Good morning all. I got up at 4:30, resting and awake. I have my TV on to the Daystar channel I am so happy that once again I can watch Christian Television.

I did my weigh in Friday at Curves adn am 5 lbs away from my goal of 160 lbs. I feel so good and so healthy. My knee isn't popping much anymore either. What a relief it is to not have the knee pain that I had before I lost the weight.

I pray you will all have a blessed Sunday. Good morning Larry I am praying for you.

Later

Okay, for those who don't know, my maiden name is Stevenson.  So FROGGS is what do you call it when you form a word out of the first letter of a sentence?  So FROGGS stands for Friends and Relatives Of Grandma and Grandpa Stevenson.  There was 30 of us back in the woods and that was great since there was only two representing Kaye Don's side of the family.  This year was our 3rd Annual FROGGS.  Great time had by all!! 

But I am afraid I played hookey today from church.  I was so tired and probably dirty from ashes floating in the air at FROGGS that I didn't set the alarm.  I got up late...9:30pm and showered but didn't head to church.  Got to go to Ivalou's and say good bye to her 14 people that spent the night at her house!!!! 

Larry, summer colds are the worst.  Not only is it hot and humid, but you feel icky too.    I'm sorry; I hope you are feeling lots better.

Go Marilyn Go!  I am one pound closer to my goal.  hahahahahahaha  (I've lost a total of one pound).

ES, that sounds like such a great time.  I like family reunions, generally, though there is one branch of my family tree I'm not really close to, or care a lot about, as bad as that sounds.  One of the things Trav will be doing this fall in "Social Studies" is a family tree.  I want to make a big ole tree with branches and leaves for the different family members.

I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend and are getting ready for an awesome week.

take care

Hi Folks.... I got some sad news today.  John has a cousin in Ottawa, our Nation's Capital.  He has a son Craig.  In Craig's backyard there is a swimming pool.  Craig's son, 14 months old fell into the pool and drowned.  This is so sad, the funeral was Friday.

What can you say to heart broken parents and grandparents?  So sad.

I will be back to read the posts, just need a break from telling you all this.

Oh,how sad whenever a child falls into a pool,lake or river.   

Larry:  Sorry about your summer cold.  Rest easy.

Do you still have the SHOUT boxes?  I can't see them.

Carol

Carol I don't see it either.  The shout box that is.

The girls are gone again.  A week at camp will do them good.  They have signed forms to go on a overnight canoe trip.  Kassie is really looking forward to that.

We had rain today for about 15 minutes.  Just enough to raise the humidity.

Yesterday I cut endive and a few other things in the garden.  Mom has taken to it and put them in the freezer.  THat is a job she loves to do.

Well I must get going, Mom is waiting to findout what I am doing for dinner.  I don't have a clue.  Guess I had better get at it!

I don't see the shout box either. What happened to the shoutbox?

Hi, I'm back in from Atlanta. Was there for DIL's 3-vertebrae spinal fusion. She's home now, but in lots of pain. Hopefully, I can get caught up on my reading and really able to post again before long.

Love to all.

Ruth Ann

Time for a new week of thoughts beginning here.
