Good morning everyone!

     A big happy birthday to Gord and Julia!

It took me about a week, but I am finally feeling better.  Still a bit of asthma, but the pollen count is through the roof here and obviously it's a pollen that I'm allergic to. 

The oldest of my baby girls is fixing to graduate a week from this Saturday.  You're all invited!   Here's the link to the invitation...http://idahohomeschoolgraduation.org/  I can't believe it is here already.  Seems I was just holding her in my arms as a baby and then teaching her to hold a pair of scissors and pronounce words.  She's taking part in the Idaho Homeschool Graduation that's being held at a college in our area.  Her father and I are so proud!  If you haven't seen her film site, you should go there sometime.  She begins filming her latest full length movie with original script and music in July.  It has a Christian message.  Read more about "On My Own" on the site.  http://www.freewebs.com/akbproductions/index.htm

For anyone interested, I've posted the images of the first two days of our anniversary trip in my Travel Blog on my website, along with a bonus!  My commentary-free of charge!  http://www.shekinahphotography.com/travelblog

I must get going now, just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you know about the graduation and trip photos and that I'm feeling better.  You all have a fantastic spring day, okay?

Blessings, Kathleen

Jeanne ~ Thank you for the advise.  I got the pictures all on the digital photo frame.  The guy on Iyogi formatted the card but I think what really worked was he moved the folder with 212 pics to the SD card instead of opening the folder and highlighting the 212 pictures.  He tried that and it still came up with the same error number I was getting.  But when he moved the folder (35.5mb) containing the pics, it worked!  What was weird it would only load 26mb of pics on the SD card AND on my Flash drive AND on the laptop AND on the desktop, too!  I think it is a problem with Windows and not my laptop or my desktop or the SD card or the Flash drive!  It moved one item (the folder) okay but only 175 of the 212 items the other way.  My opinion!

Anyway, I got it to work and checked out the photo frame and all 212 pictures show.  Ivalou is pleased.

Today Kitty called and I met her and Jean Agnew, a Guild member, at Pizza King for lunch.  So much fun.  Now I am going to put the membership on Excel for Kitty.  Ruth Ann, I may be calling you for help!! 

It has turned out to be a nice day after all.  All morning it looked like rain any minute but now it is bright and sunny! 

Great news, Etta Sue. It may be that I can help you get the file set up, since we already know we both have Office 2007.

Home school high school graduation! What an accomplishment, not only for your student but also for you as teacher! Congratulations to you both!

Y'all have a great rest of the day.

Thanks, Ruth Ann!     I guess I'm just so proud of her, I haven't really thought too much about my part in it.  Hmmm.  It has just been such a natural thing, knowing it was God's will for our family to homeschool.  I shall reflect on that and also thank my hard working husband who has allowed me to stay home and homeschool and thank the Lord for the freedom to do so.  I don't know that it will always be that way, in America.

Correction:  Graduation is two weeks from Saturday. 

Thanks be to God for the abilities He's given you and your "students!"

I second that!  The glory is the Lord's.

Hi, friends,

I have a prayer request. A dear saint in our church, whom I love deeply, will be entering a nursing home situation in the next 2-3 days. Of course, this will be such a difficult change for her. Please pray for her. God knows her true name, but I'll call her Beatrice to protect her identity here on the net.

Ruth Ann ~ I got the Excel done and I am printing as I type.  I have Excel 2007 on the laptop where I generated the file.  But I saved it to the Excel '97-'03 Workbook version so I could put it on the desktop and print.  THAT'S where I got into problems.  It was all too small...figured out to highlight all and change the font size.  Then I couldn't get the page breaks right...finally got that.  It was a breeze creating it but when I got on the desktop, it was hectic.  But I persevered and just got done printing 35 copies front and back.  (Thanks for the help.  I knew you were only a phone call away) I just sent you an email with the Excel attached.

What a morning.  I goof too much.

Tonight they are showing 'Facing the Giants' at church for a donation to Ben Fair who is going to Kenya for 3 months.  That should be fun!

Hey, everybody!  I'm popping in to tell you I wish you all a great weekend!  We will be leaving here in about an hour, and I need to finish getting stuff into the car.  I haven't even wrapped Mark's gift yet!

Anyway, we will be home Sunday night, probably late, as will stay in Hugoton for Abby's dance recital before coming on home......and I have to work Monday 6-10!  Yawn.....

See you next week!

Janet:  Yes, praying for this nation to open their eyes! 

Pat:  I dont know where I lost my post and dont have time to look right now.  It is alright. 

Happy
Birthday ^{Gord & Julia} 

Listening to g-son on his trumpet.  He is hitting the high notes now.  We picked up old friends (neighbors) and drove them to our house for a while & then they wanted to take us out to Mimi's for lunch.  All of this took quite some time as he can barely walk with a cane.  Rushed back & g-son had a trumpet lesson.  I think I fell asleep for a few minutes.  Tortilla soup for dinner tonight - we had clam chowder & salad for lunch and Don had French Onion Soup & salad.  Wonderful day. 

Larry:  I am glad that your car is doing so well.  Nice that Pat & Stacey had a freebie day. 

Ruth Ann:  You sure are taking your break-in in stride.  It is nice that you have such a great background in computers and be of help to so many in that regard.  Take care. 

We will be home tomorrow night.  Feeling really tired - it must be all the stairs. 

Al:  Welcome to the fast lane! 

    I would like to thank you all for my birthday wishes from so many.    I have had an extended birthday and my daughter and son-in-law and grandon are here tonight and we are having a birthday supper.  Then next week my other kids will celebrate it with me at there place so it has been fun.

Today was not so much fun as I had to be at the hospital to have a Colonocopy done so yesterday I had to fast and that was no fun but we got through it but one problem was that I had taken my meds and I should not have because of the blood thinner so now Ihave to go back and have a few polips removed.

Larry:  You are a  bit older than me I hope that you and Pat are looking after your selves.

Well it sounds like you are all keeping very busy and I looked over most all of the postings and very interesting.May the Lord be with you all and again please continue to pray for my wife and that we will soon get a hearing with the government.  God Bless.  Gord.

Thanks Carol - yes, it really IS the "fast lane!"  I keep getting amazed every day at the speed with which the websites come in.

Isn't it wonderful?

Jesus is Coming Soon!!

Hi, friends,

I love to help folks with computer questions - if I have the sense to figure out how they've used their software! 

Y'all have a wonderful evening with our Lord.

Ruth Ann

Would you beliece it , our weather forecast is calling for snow flurries!!!!!

We are having a birthday party for Elizabeth today at 4:00 at Doug's.  That is not as far for folks to come.  She has one girlfriend coming and then family.

I am making a potato salad and we are having burgers hotdogs and sausages.  Our surrogate grandparents are bringing a coleslaw.  We should have a good time with the folks that are there.

Got to run, I want to xhexk out the rest of my "unread" posts.

Today will be another busy day in Indiana.  This morning is a Mother/Daughter Tea for Ivalou and I.  We are going to her DIL's church at 10am. 

Then at 1pm, I am to be at my church and work with the Worship Leader is setting up the overhead program for Mother's Day tomorrow. 

Then if it hasn't rained or isn't raining, I need to mow my dandelions!  I wish there was money in them...I would be rich!! 

And then I will have to shower again!

Busy day! 

Thank you so much for helping me, Ruth Ann, and great talking with you last evening!!

We're having quite a "rain stormy day" here in Guelph.  I had a better sleep last night after not sleeping the night before.

Judy, I thought Doug was in Ancaster?

He moved back north last March.  Better for both of them.  Better rent and family closeby.  Her Mom takes the boys quite often.

Hi everyone.  We just now got back from meeting our son and daughter-in-law in the little town of Madison, Georgia.  It is about equal distance between where we live and where they do.  We had lunch at Cracker Barrel as it is right off the exit from Interstate 20.  The food was good and a reasonable price for the food served.  We had a nice visit over the dinner and then sat on the porch in the rocking chairs they have out front for a little while.  However, it was pretty warm and humid outside so didn't terry too long.  It is about an hour trip for us and a little over that for them.  We really enjoyed it and had a nice trip.

Tomorrow we will be going down to Atlanta to have lunch with our daughter and attend a chapel service at the Shepard Spinal Center, which is right across the street from where she lives.  She can easily get over there in her power chair and we hope the cafeteria will be open and if not there is a food court next door in the hospital. 

I am all ready for church.  Happy Mother's Day!!

I am taking my camera.  The worship leader wants some more photos for the Church directory. 

Then there will be a few of us ladies that will go out for lunch somewhere. 

I have to fix something for a cookout at g-niece's home for this evening.  I will find something! 

That's all, folks!

Hey I never thought about this till now, here's a big bunch of flowers I specially ordered for mothers day, so happy mothers day to all you mums out there, Michael.

To All Our Friends at Christian Photographers:  Mr. Barbarian says you have been asking after me and wonder why I do not post much.  Please don't be offended.  I do use Mr.Barbarian to keep me up to date with all of you.  The reason that I don't  post much is that I still work full time in the billing unit in the Department of Psychiatry at UT Southwestern, the state medical school, in Dallas, Texas.  I commute to work because we live in a metropolitan area and we do not prefer to live in the middle of Dallas.  Anyway, I work on a computer all day long--which happens to be more than an 8 hour day always, and by the time I get home, sitting down at a computer again is the last thing I want to do.  I like to take pictures and I like sharing this with Mr. Barbarian.  I really like the community of Christian Photographers and hope you understand if I let my husband do the technical stuff with posting.  He shows me all of your good pictures and tells me all about your conversations.  It is so good that this is a group that is positive and supportive.  There are too many  people ready to criticize and jump on others when someone shows their vulnerable side.  And showing your pictures to others can really be a risk taking experience!  I am still shy about that but Mr. Barbarian is building up my courage.


P.S.  I just posted my first picture with Mr. Barbarian's help.

Marilyn - just so you know - that last post of yours consisted only of the infamous question mark.

What a gorgeous photo, Mrs. Barbarian!

It was so nice to see your posting.  And I understand "busy-ness" so I'm just happy that your dear husband is willing to help you.  I'm sure that you'll find some time sometime to post yourself and when you do, we'll all be so happy!

Thanks!

Well, it's that time again--time to shut the door on this topic and open a new one!
