One Thing I've Learned From Working All These Years

Some days you're the statue and some days you're the bird...

Doug took this at the Doha Zoo. Wonderful, don't you think?

Garden Blessings

Here are some of my favorite garden shots I have taken - enjoy!

Learning From Our Animals

Here are Lucy and Rhett, furry children of a good friend, catching a bit of a cat/dog nap. I think we could learn a lot from them:

• Sometimes it's okay to share your space.
• Sometimes it's okay to sleep and not fight.
• Love is a powerful thing.
  

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thought for Super Tuesday

Betsy's Garden

How quickly I recover from needing snow. We have now had snow, sleet, and ice and I am ready for spring! Here's Betsy's Garden from my YouTube channel to remind us of what's ahead! Enjoy!

Logan's Call to KSB Radio

Logan made this call when he was 12. He is now 13. Listen to the story - you'll be glad you did!

My YouTube Video I - Snow Jam 08

It was snowing so I grabbed my camera and did pretty much nothing else. Turn off or pause the Bach music on the right side and enjoy my backyard snow video. By the way, the music is wav files from a collection on the web that is copyright friendly. I hope the guys at YouTube agree. Watch fast while it's still up!

Celia's New Babies

Celia bacame the mother of two precious baby yorkies this morning. It was too dark to get a decent picture, so I will keep trying til I get the perfect baby shot for her. Anyway, world meet Lucy and Dezi.

New Year's Eve

As I look forward to midnight, already hearing the neighbor's fireworks, it's exciting to ponder a new year. For me, I want to be sure to make 2008 a year of gratitude and love. I have so much to be thankful for...

Happy New Year, one and all!

Thank God for Christmas!

This year Christmas has been so full of so many special gifts. Here are a few:

• Much of my family is close by and we enjoy being together - especially at Christmas - over a puzzle that's too hard for one but just right for all of us; over Christmas cookies that looked horrible last year and pretty fantastic this year;


• Health and happiness - what rich blessings!


• Mom and Dad - how special each day is with them!


• My sister who looks great in majorette boots - tassles or fringe - she wears them both well. And the new tiara that just finishes the outfit. For my brother-in-law who loves her.


• My nephews - so different and so wonderful.


• Great niece and nephew - thanks to my much older sister.


• My boy - the Yorkie - a 12 year old sweetie!
• My sweet friends - all so unique - who add so many dimensions to my life!
• And a Christmas magnolia flower on my baby magnolia tree!

In the hustle of the trips to the airport and videos from Tahoe and brunches and Christmas cookies and puzzles and 1st grade Santas, I pause and look at my Nativity and remember the real Gift of love - the greatest love story of all times. I pray I never forget it or lose sight of it.

Amen!
