SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS

Only recently, I found out that Cerebral Palsy has at last been classified by the American Medical Association as a chronic illness. A friend asked me the question about a year or so ago, but since I wasn't sure of the answer myself, I decided to look it up. I've suspected for a long time that it... Sign in to see full entry.

SHALOM SESAME!

A good friend of mine just shared something VERY cool on fb! I can't post the exact link here, but I'm pretty sure you can also find the video on youtube. I hope that if some of you read this, you'll take a look! Even at my age, I still admire Jim Henson's vision for SESAME STREET and what the show... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR MY FRIEND KARI

SHORT AND SWEET...FOR NOW

Hi everyone... I hope you've all had a wonderful Monday so far. This is just a brief hello for now. I'm waiting for Margaret to get home from the grocery so we can make dinner and watch WHEEL OF FORTUNE. It's NBA week on the show this week, and I believe the contestants are playing for various...

PRAYERS FOR A SPECIAL LITTLE CHERUB

Hi everyone... Please may I ask you all to pray for Juliet's cousin's brand new baby daughter, Annika? She was born twenty seven days premature and weighs only four and a half stone-I don't know how many pounds this would equal-but according to the email I received from Juliet today, mother and baby...

SURVIVING LONDON

I swear, I MUST have ESP or something! As I mentioned the other day, I had emailed Juliet over the new year holiday but hadn't heard back from her as yet. Now, I'm not worried because Juliet currently doesn't have a laptop, so the only way she can send me messages is with her phone. That gets to be... Sign in to see full entry.

A SNAIL HAS CRAWLED INTO MY SHELL

Happy Saturday my friends. And a happy Groundhog Day, too! I hope you've all had a wonderful day thus far. It's cold outside here today, and I'm not moving too well. To be honest, I believe my former body has been abducted by slugs or snails....you see, I swear one or more of those critters has... Sign in to see full entry.

AND SO GOOD NIGHT

I hope you all had a wonderfully fantastic Friday dear ones. I'm getting sleepy, so it's off to bed for me. Good night and sweet dreams... Sign in to see full entry.

FRIDAY AT LAST

Hi everyone... And a happy first day of February! I can't believe winter is passing by so quickly this year. Well anyway, I'm glad that. January is gone and over with. I hope you're all looking forward to a peaceful and relaxing weekend ahead. I've gotten quite a bit accomplished today. Had a shower... Sign in to see full entry.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I got the blu-ray DVD combo player! And it only cost me roughly $54.00's because Marvin offered to help me pay for it. That also includes the two boxes of k-cup packs I bought tonight. One of them is specifically for Margaret and Tricia to share. For myself, I got a box of Paul Newman's Own organic... Sign in to see full entry.

OUT AND ABOUT

I am really excited! Recently, I thought of a great idea for a gift for Margaret for our belated Christmas celebration coming up soon. I want to buy her a blu-ray/DVD combination player. We already have two other DVD players, but there's another one upstairs that's really old, so I thought this... Sign in to see full entry.

SAD NEWS AND A PRAYER REQUEST

I'd also like to ask for prayers for my friend D., who has just had surgery and is in quite a lot of pain. Thank you all and God... Sign in to see full entry.

YET ANOTHER RE-WRITE...FOR KABU AND RUMOR

MY SECOND HOME In a well shaded, forested area of Kiev, Ukraine, there is a beautiful stone house. It is not a large house. There is a kitchen, one large and one small bedroom, and a bathroom with indoor plumbing. The stone is white, and worn smooth. I did not build it by my own hands and I do not...

GERMANY CALLING?

Hi everyone.... I have a small favour to ask, if one of you is willing and kind enough to help me out. Quite a long while ago, I wrote a short piece on a dream I had in which I visited Hadamar, Germany. When the laptop crashed about a year or so ago, most of my travel dream pieces got wiped out of...

MUM SAYS THANK YOU

Hi everyone... I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers for Mum. I spoke to her last night, and although she's uncomfortable, she asked me to let you all know she's doing fine. We thank you for your prayers. I know I haven't been around much. I'm dealing with a couple of things that are... Sign in to see full entry.

VERY SLOWLY

Hi everyone... Thank you all for your prayers for Margaret. She is feeling a little better, but I think she has a sinus infection. She's had a sinal cyst for years, and every once in a while it plays up again. She's had the flu also. She felt like some toast and a coffee earlier, so that's a good... Sign in to see full entry.

A LETTER TO SOME OLD BUT VERY DEAR FRIENDS

I started writing this out as a letter to Davy Jones, but I think the others deserve it, too. God bless you all, MONKEES. I'm not one usually to dwell on the passing of a celebrity. I strongly believe that they are no better or worse than any of the rest of us. God created us ALL in His own image,... Sign in to see full entry.

WE NOW RETURN TO OUR FEATURED STORY

That first family portrait came on a gentle evening many, many weeks later. Julia was by no means an expert on the behaviour of wildlife. Growing up, her only animal friend was a beloved dog named Jack. She can’t remember his breed. What she does know is you should never, ever try to outright... Sign in to see full entry.
