Janet ~ I am sorry but that url didn't work for me to see Beth and John's pictures.  Could we try again?  Did it work for anyone else?

Larry ~ Now my question is...if someone comes here to connect to my wireless is my 'code' my user name and password?  If not, where do I find out what my 'code' is. 

Church was great.  I found out that I am on the church council now...voted last week.  I am a Member at Large.  Well, I am large so they voted the right person in!!  And Pastor Steve is to be back next week after having two heart attacks early in December.  That will be nice.  It has been refreshing to have different preachers for 5 weeks but nicer to have Steve back. 

Four of us ladies went out to eat at the new mall near here.  I never thought I would spend over $10 for a hamburger!!!  But I did and it was very good! 

Now I feel a nap coming on....ZZZZZZzzzzzz!

Brrrrrrrrr it is cold but the sun is shinning so that is good.

Janet:  sorry the url did not come through for the pictures.

Judy:  About the bowling last week my scores were not great but we had lots of fun. Yes Sue joined us as well.

Larry: I passed your computer info to our c-repair person he has some kind of program but it does not seen to work with our computer.

Soon we will be leaving for dinner will check back in tomorrow.

We are in Tucson.  Renting a nice place - but the landlady has never rented before & we are having to jump through hoops to just have things reasonably comfortable for us.  Weird.

Our drive was very good with little traffic throughout New Mexico.   We slept much too late this morning and I felt out of sync trying to fix breakfast in the kitchen - but tomorrow will be more normal.  Off to get a few things.

Nope, didn't work for me either.   

Thanks, Etta Sue, for fixing us a new, clean place for the week ... and thanks for the great devotional message.  True ... there is only One Way to the Father.  I'm glad for that.   

Hey there, Carol.  Do you know Dawn Tucek?  She's in Tucson, you should give her a call.  A really special lady. 

With that url I think there is a space in it that has to be deleted.  Perhaps that will work.  I am helping with a tough geography project, so haven't taken the time to try it.

Be back later.

Hi everyone.  It is cold here this morning, down to 34 degrees and predicted to just keep getting colder at night throughout the week until it is in the teens by Friday.  We are thankful for a nice warm house.

Janet, I couldn't get the link to work either.  I tried to edit your link and removed the space but that didn't help.  I also tried to be sure the capitols were in the proper place in the address line but that didn't work and I had no success in searching for that company on the Internet.  Perhaps you could access the photo to the point of putting in the password and copying that link and posting it here.

Etta Sue, thanks for the new devotional for this week.  I know you will be a good member on your church board.  Etta Sue, to find the code you will need to access the router control page.  Your instruction sheet that came with the router will give you the instructions on how to do this. 

Carol, I remember when my folks first started to go to Arizona they had a hard time with the rentals.  They would be told it was ready but it would be filthy and mother would have to spend a couple of days of very hard work getting it into a livable condition.  It wasn't long before they bought a mobile home and used that for five or six more years before it got to be too much for my dad to make the trip.

Jane, I remember Dawn Ducek and I agree that she was a very nice lady.

Well, it is time to leave for coffee this morning.  I hope the restaurant is warm.

I have a light schedule today with only a luncheon to attend at 1 pm.

Hi Folks Havent been on this site for a long time and am just trying things out while I wait for my dispatcher to make up his mind what he wants me to do. Want to make sure that my email is working properly. I have been reading postings from time to time under Judy's access but am now set up again withmy own access. Will try to post from time to time when I am home and get back into circulation. Will bring some of my over the road experiences for you to read. Any way will go for now God Bless Bonsey

Morning everyone.  This has been a rough morning with the car not starting.  Everything seemed to unravel from there. 

I spend time in the car on the way to work with the girls reading our Bible and studying a Psalm.  Even that seemed to not work today.  We read and studied anyway.  The girls were late for school and I was late for work......I just love these cold Canadian winters. "not!"  I have a hard time being thankful for them.  I know " In everything give thanks"  but there are days that is hard.  Do you find that too?

Enough of me whining.  I hope everyone has a God day and is able to praise God.  I am turning on the radio and that will help.

JudyB

Good morning. 

Hi Bonsey, welcome back!

I got bottle gas filled this morning.  My temp goes down a degree.  Terrible how much it costs to heat a home!!! 

Ivalou called and she has to go to the drug store in Lapel so I am going with her for lunch.  Then to Dollar General for OJ and milk. 

Tonight is Photo Guild.  That is always a fun time seeing all the wonderful photos from all the wonderful photographers! 

Thanks for the comments on the devotions.  Thank God for Jesus....our way to salvation!

Hi everyone I'm back from Oregon. Checking  in here and I have read all the postings since I was last here.

Pat I'm waiting to hear from you.

We got home about an hour ago.  The wind was terrible!  Gusting to 65 mph, really tried to blow us off the highway.  So we are very thankful to be safely home again.

Okay, about that url.....I am looking at the paper the lady gave me.  And I think I may have typed photography, and it says photographic!  So let's try it again........SouthwestKansasPhotographic.com   You will need to type it into your browser, I guess.  Then click on Home, then on Client List (move your curser down the list to make the names dark enough to read!)  click on Beth and John....put in your emaill and password is beth.  I just did all that and there they are! 

Etta Sue, thanks for the lovely devotional.  I am behind, so will keep this short and come back tomorrow.  Thanks.

Janet those are such wonderful photos of John and Beth, she looks so happy. I am so glad that John came to visit her again and spent so much time with her. I am still praying for her.

Great devotional Etta Sue, Jesus is the ONLY way. You hear so much about  there being other ways to God. But there is only one way.

I think a cold might be trying to get me. But I am not accepting any old cold or sickness whatsoever.

Tomorrow I have to weigh in at Curves for a contest we are having. The other members of my team have already weighed in today. We are in a contest to see which team can lose the most weight in 6 weeks.

Today has not been a good day from start to end.  I am praying tomorrow is better.

Etta sue  great devotional.

I am heading to bed shortly.  Have a good noght folks.

Thanks for a nice devotional, Etta Sue.  I hope that you will enjoy 'Dewey'.

I saw the pictures of Beth and John.  Nice and they look happy.

We have a lot of fog today.  Not rain tho', so that is good.  Lots of places are having terrible flooding.  The snow is still here, tho' looks grey and awful in the shopping malls and along the roads.

I went to Duncan, finally, to have a perm and get my hair cut.  After weeks of trying, got there and found out my hair stylist had to leave as her son became ill at school.  So must wait another week.  Came back and trimmed some of my hair myself.....   That darn elf is still working overtime!

Did something rare for me these days...bought something for ME.  My back hurts so much, decided to get a computer chair with arms and better support.  Got in on sale at Staples.  SIL put it together for me and it is surely going to make life more pleasant.   I will use the armless one at my desk and it will also make things better.  Can get closer to my work.

Is your dog okay, Marilyn?  You didn't mention and so will ask again.

I have been learning bridge on the internet.  Slow work, interesting and think I will take some lessons in March.  Good for keeping the mind working.....or so they say. 

Watched your president give a speech today and was quite impressed with what he had to say.  Wish people would stop picking on him and give some credit where it is due. 

Time to go....I am tired.   Also not much to say at the moment, except that I think January is the worst month of the year!  Bah!!

Pleasant Evening/Day and God Bless.

Liz

Hi everyone.  It is 32 degrees here in Georgia this morning but the house is warm.  I just hope it is warm where we have coffee.  Not too much on the schedule today other than coffee, a meeting at 11 am and then one of the ladies that does a lot of work on the Golden Games will be here.  She has purchased the supplies we will need for this year's games and I will print out mailing labels for her from the list of participants from last year.  That won't take very long with the laser printer.  Then I will have a quiet rest of the day.

Janet, thanks for clearing up the URL for the pictures.  What a treasure to cherish by all concerned.  As has been said you could see the joy in the faces of both of them.  I know each of those days was special and the pictures certainly will help the memories.

Liz, you are having sometime getting your hair cut.  Maybe you are suppose to have long hair.  Glad you were able to get out and getting the desk chair with arms was a wise move.  We had a lady speak to our computer club who is an ergonomics specialist and she said one of the most important things we can do when working on the computer is to support our arms as this reduces a lot of stress.  Also being at the right distance from the monitor, approximately arms length.  It is also important that the keyboard be a the right height.  Of course, with an adjustable chair you can raise yourself to the height that is right for the positioning of the keyboard.

Judy, I can't imagine living in Canada and experiencing those very, very cold temps.  I have a good friend here who is flying to Minneapolis, MN this morning and I saw it was -6 degrees there.  However, both he and his wife are natives of Minnesota, having grown up close to the Canadian border, but have lived in the south for a long time.  Glad you made it to school and work.

Bonesy, good to see you posting and hope you will post frequently and share your stories from the road with us.

Marilyn, glad you are home once again and hope your contest at Curves goes well.  Sometimes competition is a helpful reminder to stay on course.  Hope you team wins.

Etta Sue, I know it is expensive to heat but as I once told my Dad when he complained about the cost of a special mattress that we had purchased to make him more comfortable, he couldn't get any comfort from laying on his dollar bills and we wanted to do all we could to make his days as pleasant as possible. 

Time to leave for coffee and get this day started.

Good morning!  I'm so glad you got to see the photos of Beth and John.  That is the happiest I have seen her look in years, and it's good to have photos of that, for sure.  Sorry I messed up on the url the first time. 

Liz, sorry about your weather; not much we can do about that, is there?  Hope you make the connection soon so you can get your hair the way you want it.  Good for you, keeping your mind busy and learning new things, also glad you got the new computer chair.

Larry, you will never grow old because you also keep yourself occupied doing things, learning things and helping people.  Good for you!

Judy and John, good to see you are both now posting again.  Looking forward to John's "stories from the road" and hope you have a great day today, Judy.  I guess those occasional down days help us appreciate the others and make us more determined to make each day a good day.

Marilyn, thanks for your prayers for Beth.

I have a chiropractic appointment in a little while, he wants to make sure I am back to normal; then Darrel and I have to go to Garden City.  I hope to get some photos printed at Walmart.

I wish you all a very pleasant and profitable day!

Wow the weather is terrible here today.  Somewhere between 10 and 25am of snow, this afternoon the temperature is to drop to -38 with winds of up to 50km/h (about 30mph). and these temperatures are to stay with us till after the weekend.  OUCH!  At this point I cannot see the road in front of the house.

It is a better day today, the girls off to school on time, the bus didn't drive by them either.  (That has been a bit of a problem for the driver because they are not on the bus every day.  I am having a relaxing day which is sure nice.

Janet i didn't see the pictures of Beth and John, on dial-up it takes so long for files like that to load.  Perhaps if I am able to get into work early tomorrow I will be able to do that.

Must go and build a pair of pants for a lady.  A difficult job because of an unusual frame.

Till later
JudyB

Good Morning; Didn't have to weigh in this morning, they need one more person to sing up for the contest to make 4 four person teams. So we will all weigh in on Wednesday. Over the last year I have gained back almost all the weigh I had lost. this time last year I weighed 163 I am up 10lbs now. I also have to have a blood draw for my cholesterol sometime this month. I dread that one because of the changes in my diet in the last year.

When I got home yesterday I found out that my next door neighbor to the west had fallen and broken her tibia in 2 places. she has to stay completely off that leg for four month. Being a diabetic it will take longer to heal and her bones are more brittle. Please Pray for Cora Cox.

Today I have to catch up on laundry and  household chores, so I better get busy and get off the computer.

Janet ~ What a happy looking couple.  I just don't know how anyone will choose which pictures they want to print and keep!!  What great memories for both of them as well as their families. 

Marilyn ~ Glad you are back.  Did you lose weight to help your team? 

Judy ~ I think God gives us problem days so we appreciate our good days more...similar to rainy, dreary, dull days...when they are thrown in once in a while, it sure makes us appreciate bright, sunny days all the more! 

Liz ~ I finished my book last night.  'Dewey' is next.  Looking forward to it!  My hair dresser is Ivalou.  I will mention that I hope my hair dresser has time to cut my hair this week and a couple of weeks later, she cuts my hair.  I don't like to TELL her to cut my hair....I like to SUGGEST I want it cut but she doesn't take the hint.  She is a procrastinator also so I understand.  About the only time I insist is before a vacation like Florida.

Larry ~ I know.  Everyone here complains about their heat bill.  It is just that the cost per gallon has only went down 25 cents from last year.  AND I don't have a clue as to what to do to lower the usage of bottle gas to heat!  Maybe spend my winter at Ivalou's house?  Do you think that would work?

Guild was great last night.  So much talent in our members.  Next month I am to take my laptop and show these PhotoShop users how I make my frames on PaintShop Pro Paint X2.  They always comment on my frames and want to see how I do them.  Was busy during the night composing my hour of tutorials!  I had to count my blessings from God and finally fell asleep!  It worked.

Did I mention that I am on my church's church council for this year?  Something like a Member at Large.  Not a deacon or elder, treasurer or trustee but a person from the congregation with voting rights.  They had a meeting last night but I had to miss the first meeting.  Normally they are the first Monday night of the month so I will go next month.

Today would have been my parents anniversary..happy day..but it is also the anniversary of my parents auto accident when Dad was killed and Mom was in the hospital for two months...sad day.  But like Mom used to say, 'All those happy days outweighed the one sad day so let's celebrate January 13th and all Friday the 13ths'.  We do! 

Etta Sue We haven't started the contest yet, so No I haven't lost the weight yet.

You Photo Guild club sounds like a lot of fun and a great educational source. So many pros to learn from, and you are becoming quite the pro yourself.

Liz I haven't had my hair cut in a year and it is almost to my waist now, I do need to get a very little trimmed of the ends to even it up before I move. I don't trust new hairdressers who don't know that I only want no more than ½ inch off at any time. Even when I tell them they still take off more.

Whoa!! Judy your temperatures at way to cold for me.

Larry when I plug into  the Router and start using Verizon do I have to  go to their website and give them my information and tell them I am on someone else's router and modem?

Marilyn too cold for me too.

Janet i didn't see the pictures of Beth and John, on dial-up it takes so long for files like that to load. 

That's my problem complaint  situation, too.      and I don't have a computer "at work" to substitute.  I tried several times, and got to 86% loaded, heard the music, but never any further.   I'll just have to take everyone's word for it that John and Beth are a very happy looking couple!   

Judy, I can't even imagine cold like that!  I have been feeling cold here for a long time.  I think maybe it's something lacking, physically.  Last week, for the third time, I couldn't donate blood because of a low iron count.  This time there wasn't even a number on the little gadget that measures it .... just L L L    The nurse said that it needs to be at least 10.5 to register, so I was below that.  I remember when we used to have commercials about "iron poor blood"  guess that's me, y'think?

I know there are a lot of prayer needs here, and I have been praying.  I may not post all that often, but I do read -- several times a day -- and pray as I read. 

Y'all take care, and I'll be watching.    

OH Jane that must be why you are cold!  Are you tired as well?  Any idea of the cause?  I think you had better get this checked into.  You may have an infection brewing or something.

Thank you for praying. We all need it and I know there are many unspoken and unwritten needs here.  God knows them.  Folks know that I am praying with Jane......Know the verse "where two or three....."  we are praying.

KAssie spent an enormous time on the puter preparing a slide show for geography over the weekend and finalizing it last night.  Today I got an email that the program she used is not compatible with the school computer.  She is so upset and the rest of the team is upset with her.  Unfortunately I can't "fix" it like I would like to.  I resent the files to her they took 2 hours to go, thanks to dial up.

For those of you who don't know I call my wood burningfurnace a shark.  There are days one load just seems to sit and heat all day.  Today I can't stay on top of the cold.  GRRRRR Pat can I come and join you in VA?  It is still snowing and I am watching for the wind to set up.

Well I have to get going
Talk later
JudyB

Oh BRRRRR, Judy!  I do hope the snow stops and it warms way up for you soon!

Sorry, Jane and Judy, that you can't see the photos.  They are the proofs, maybe someone who can see them could post one in here; I sure don't know how! 

We didn't get home from Garden until after six this evening.  I'm about ready to stay home for a day!  We thought we'd go to their new A & W and get a root beer, so we drove in, ordered and waited...and waited...and waited.  After 25 minutes, we drove off.  That is ridiculous.  I do hope they hire some better help, I would hate to see it close right away!

Liz, thank you for your comments about our president.  I know he has made some serious mistakes, but he has also kept us safe since 9-11, and he is a genuinely good man.  I cannot say the same for those who are trying to crucify him, nor for a lot of the incoming people. 

My doctor says I can wait for two weeks this time, he has gotten all my kinks straightened out, I guess. 

I'm tired, so will say good night now.  GOOD NIGHT NOW!

Yes, I am tired as well.     Actually, it's more sleepy than tired.  I have to keep moving or I will nod off!  Whenever I sit down to watch TV I can count on taking a nap instead.   

Jane Well get into the Doctor and get it checked out we don't need you sick here, I would not be able to nurse you better!

The temperature has dropped.  Not sure how low, I will let you know in the morning.

Heading to bed
Night all

 

Janet, I saw the pictures of John and Beth. As everyone has said, she looks radiant.  You can tell how happy he makes her.

Jane, I agree with Judy. See your doctor and see if he knows why your iron is so low.

I'm coming down with a cold again.  Little Maycie has had a cold for over a week, so she's passing it on to the rest of us.   I feel cold all the time too, but I think my iron is ok.   I can't seem to stay warm.  I sure love my heater.  I can't imagine the cold where you are, Judy.  Right now our weather is 50, and I feel cold.

I have to help grandson with his homework then we're going to try to find something on tv to watch together.  He's staying tonight while his mom is out of town.  Night, all.

Hello everyone...

I apologize for my absence during the past several days.  But I'm here now!

And it's cold here in Virginia!   But I'm happy I'm not up in Ontario.  I've been getting the weather alerts and it's very cold there and colder to come.
