Christian Photographers Community

Hi everyone.  I was happy to see that I could get to CP this morning with only a slight delay in the page display.  It was a really hot day here yesterday so stayed in all afternoon after a busy morning.  I did finish the book I was reading before going to sleep last night.  

I am ready for church.  I don't know whether Pat is going or not as she has a very sore toe that she thinks came from wearing a pair of socks that made her shoe fit to tightly or something.  She was aching all over yesterday so sure hope she is feeling better today.  It is our plan to go to the AT&T store this afternoon and set up our telephone service as a part of our son's family plan.  I think I wrote about this before so won't go into detail.  I was reading over the PDF copy of the manual for the phone that we will likely be getting as it comes free with the 18 month contract.  I don't know what we will do for lunch today but that will be decided at the time and depending on how Pat is feeling.

Judy, of course I met to say Janet in that posting and didn't even notice that I had used the wrong name.  Hope you get your tractor fixed as know from what you said you do enjoy mowing your yard.  Our lawn people will be here tomorrow to freshen up our yard although it hasn't grown very much in these last two weeks as we haven't had much, if any, rain.  Hope John gets home today to replenish he $$$ and food supply.  I liked the piece about grandpa's hands.  We don't often think about what they mean to us and how grateful we should be that we have the use of them.  

Gord, it sounds like you had a boy's night out at the races.  I occasionally watch a part of a race on TV but don't think I have ever been to one.  I do know that many people really enjoy them.  

Ruth, I wouldn't react very well to any doctor who treated me like the chiropractor treated you and your son.  It does seem to be a never ending expense.  Hope your flowers do well.  We have no outside planting as neither Pat nor I are really able to tend them.  They have something down here called knockout roses that bloom from spring to late fall.  We would like to have a couple of them but just can't prepare the ground so we just enjoy those we see that others have planted.  They are quite lovely and very hardy.

Ruth Ann, I am going to guess that the problem you have with IE9 is that it doesn't show the menus and other appearances that you are used it.  I just checked mine (I don't use it on a daily basis) and you can get the menus to display if you click in the very upper right hand corner of the browser and there you will see a dropdown menu where you can turn the menu line on and make some other adjustments that should make the page look very much like what you may be use to.  You may not be able to see the little faded symbol that you click but it is there within the first quarter inch of that space.  If that isn't the problem feel free to call me or let me know what you are trying to do and I will be glad to try to help you.  Nice to ready that you had a good day.

Etta Sue, the Daybreak church has an interesting name.  Glad you remembered to go as sounds like you had a very nice time. 

Hope Marlyn is having a wonderful time on vacation.

Hope everyone has a very enjoyable day.

Well, we had our marriage conference entitled "It Takes Two."  It was very good, and several from our church attended.  One of the ideas they discussed was thinking of God as the Father-in-law of the wife (or husband).  Your wife belongs to Him, so you must treat her as such and as answerable to Him.

   I am also ready for church  Just waiting for my wife  and we leave.

Good morning to Larry and Al.   Al I think we had a few weeks ago part of the same seminar at our church.  How are you doing I hope that your health is doing o.k.

Larry:   We had a great time at the races and it is a small dirt track and there is at least 3 different classes of races and the stands were full as this is a ling weekend here in Canada.

Well must get ready to go.  Hope all have a wonderful day.   God Bless.    Gordon and Noreen.

I have gone on vacation and came home yesterday. It snowed the Monday night and Tuesday morning, then it rained, and hailed, we had some sun for a couple of days. On those days we rode the bikes,  After the first ride which was a long one;  well, the next day my knees were protesting the ride I took that day, but I went anyway. No more long rides after that, Keith did take a long rid on Thursday then of course yesterday we left about 8:30.

We got home and boy was Fritzy every glad to see us. Grubby  was soon at the back door asking to come in and meowing like crazy. I called Puppy Love and the dogs were ready so I went after home. They misplaced Bebe's leash and collar but by the time I got home they had called and said they found it but I am not going to pick it up until tomorrow.

Today we have to go to Walmart to pick up a few groceries, I have to shampoo my hair and bake a cake, Keith's birthday is Tuesday he will finally be 65. Tomorrow I have blood work in the morning and the Diagnostic Mammo and ultra sound int he afternoon, back to the Doctor on Wednesday.

The forum did not start at my last entry but other wise no problems.

Not really anything of interest but all this to say that we have been getting showers of rain and this is to continue all day and into tomorrow.
Keep well everyone

Hello.  Same old same old....soggy, wet, Victoria Island.  We get a couple of days of sunshine (sometimes) and then back to the rain. 

Al, I had both eyes done, one in March and one in April.  The medication for a month each time, left me quite ill and not really better yet.  That is not something that happens to most, so not to worry.  The surgery is not anything to worry about and does not hurt.  My vision is much better now, but the eye exam left me ordering expensive glasses as I cannot see well enough to read without a magnifying glass and eyes get very sore just walking around.  Again, that does not happen with most.  I have glaucoma (?)and other problems.  Most people I know do not need glasses and not bothered by medication drops.  What can I say....just lucky that way.....

Interesting reading about everyone's daily journey on this bumpy old road of life.  My days are very quiet and boring at best.  Especially lately.  Wondering what will become of all those Christians who got caught in the web of that minister and his false teaching.  Next comes the 2012 end of world....Better we remember to try our best each day and trust God to decide when enough is enough....Guess people need to understand the Bible for that to happen tho'

I am still feeding the neighbors cat, who now seems to be our cat, plus a starving Racoon that has been living for years in another neighbors yard.  It comes right up to the door and drinks and eats Billy's food.  Misty seems to have an understanding with it as she sits nearby and watches.  Makes me very nervous and I don't like this one bit....No place for the wild animals to go as all the forest is being cut down to make room for more houses.  I personally prefer the animals!

The kids are leaving on a 3 week holiday in a few days and Amanda and I are going to have to keep things afloat.  Not a good time to be travelling to Europe and my daughter is not well.  Does life ever go smoothly?  This old world is a puzzle....and so it goes....

God Bless,

Liz

Yes, I agree, Liz, life sometimes is a puzzle.

Larry, I'll fire up that new laptop and see if I can locate that little symbol. Yes, That's the problem; I am lost without my familiar menus!

Well, must close. I need to eat a bite before deciding about the remainder of this Lord's day.

May our blessed Lord bless and keep us all till we meet again!

I couldn't get on to CP yesterday nor this morning.  But this time, I did, so I'm here.  Ha ha.

I did have a good day scrapbooking yesterday.  I finished Abby's Dance album, at least I filled all the pages it has; need to buy additional pages.  She is really upset because her dance teacher is moving to Lawrence, Ks.  She loves dancing, especially ballet.  Her mom has promised to try to find a class in Liberal that Abby can attend at least once a week, and her teacher says they have week-long clinics in Lawrence, and she can stay with them; so it will all work out.  She has a recital this week, Thursday, I believe.

I got my book all reformatted and resubmitted!!!!   I am supposed to hear in four days if it is in usable form now.  I worked and worked and WORKED on it, and think I have it as clean and near perfect as I can get it, so hope they don't find too many things I need to change/correct.  After tweaking it just a little more early yesterday morning (I prayed and God  told me a couple more things to do) I felt at peace with it.   Now the ball is in their court! 

It was so nice when I did get on here, to see lots of new posts!  Good for all of you!  I won't attempt to comment on each one tonight, but just know you are all family to me and I love each one of you!

I spent quite a long time with Beth on Friday, and plan to start reading her the book Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic.  He is the guy who was born without limbs; you probably have seen him on TV.  Amazing what can be accomplished when you ask God for help, and give life your all.  I think it will encourage Beth.  (Not that she is discouraged!)   

Darrel and I went to a coin auction this afternoon.  He wanted to see how they were selling; as he has been collecting coins his whole life.  There were only 18 bidders there, and it was quite an extensive lot of coins.  Of course, he couldn't resist buying some.  I was really surprised to see some coins sell below face value; but the gold and silver ones went high.  They had one gold Kruggerand which  sold for $1000.   Wish I had a wheelbarrow full of those! 

I am going to get into my pajamas and read for a while.  It is strange, but I feel sort of at loose ends since finishing the book.  I told Darrel maybe I should start writing another one, and he agreed.  Hmmmmm....

Good night!

Hi, friends, what a treat to be able to be here with you this late Sabbath Day night.

It was a peaceful, quiet day. One interesting happening is that a friend who had made me feel pretty miserable a few weeks ago called and then apologized. That certainly made life in general be better.

Then, I needed to reach my daughter (she communicates better by text message than with a phone call), and she IMMEDIATELY answered back, and the last thing she said was "We love you!" Of course, that added to be good feelings for today.

Now, I'm waiting to hear from my sister in law. She's quite ill with several different manifestations of cancer. There was some hesitancy on my part about supporting her, but our Lord has cleared those feelings. Now, it's good to be able to share old memories with her.

So, all told, it's been a good day with our Lord completely in charge. Praise His holy name.

Time to lock the door and move to our new week!
