OLD CARS-WE'VE COME A LONG WAY!

2012-02-22T16:12:33Z

I went to visit my cousin in November and her and her husband have a collection of old cars. I could not help but think how far cars designs have come. So I dug up some of the photos and since not much is happening in paradise, I thought I would share some with you.

MEET BUCK!

2012-02-21T16:02:13Z

Buck joined us on Friday from the pound. I must say that I had never been to a pound before and found it surprisingly very very clean but noisy! It was sad to see so many dogs there as you can imagine. They had just raided a house that had over 40 dogs on it, so they were getting ready to be very very busy. I also did not know that it costs about $85.00 to adopt a dog from the pound. That must offset the cost of food and Vet services as well as personnel. I thought it was a bit high.........but what do I know. Buck is a Border Collie mix and we do not know what the MIX is. So we are in for a surprise. He has shown to be a smart puppie and has already mastered the command SIT! He has slept through the night from the beginning, which is a shock to me. We are working on potty training and so far it has been good. One thing I never wanted to do is adopt another puppie, but now I accept that challange! I will let you know if I survived!

MARDI GRAS 2012-AT THE BEACH

2012-02-20T15:43:16Z

THAT EXPLAINS IT! In 1699, Mardi Gras was first mentioned in North America. A French explorer camped by the Mississippi River, fifty miles south of today's New Orleans, named Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, first brought the term to the United States. Pierre knew that in his native country, France, March 3rd was being observed as a holiday, so he named the spot he was camped on Point du Mardi Gras. By the 1700s, Mardi Gras was celebrated in both Mobile, Alabama, and in New Orleans, Louisiana. Somewhat more sedate then today's festivities, the day was celebrated with private balls. In both cities random streets played hosts to costumed citizens. The first documented procession for Mardi Gras took place in 1837, but it was very different then the parades seen there today. The first modern-styled parade didn't occur until 1857, and was arranged by a group called the Mystik Krewe of Comus. The floats were lit by torches and depicted scenes from mythology and literature. After the American Civil War ended in 1865, more krewes sprung up adding to the number of floats and balls. Today's celebrations are not that different from the ones in the 1860s. There are still parades full of floats and costumed people, and there are still balls held each year. In fact, the celebration is so famous it has become major tourist attraction for New Orleans drawing in millions of people from around the world for Fat Tuesday.

ALL IN A DAY!

I took photos of the sky throughout the day! MAGNIFICENT! This was a few days ago and before the rain and clouds set in. We still have rain and clouds till Sunday. Above the Bright Blue Sky ~Albert Midlane There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us, And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy Of that dear name He bears. There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; And everyone is happy, Nor could be happier there. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!

RAIN IS WELCOMED

2012-02-16T15:42:22Z

It has been rainy and cloudy the last few days.....today I woke up to a nice hard rain and it made me turn over and go back to sleep........really nice! Rain is nice because it makes me appreciate the sunshine. Rain The rain is raining all around, It falls on field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here, And on the ships at sea. - Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1895).

NO PHOTO TODAY, JUST A MESSAGE

2012-02-14T15:56:48Z

THIS IS TRUE LOVE, THAT GOD SENT TO EARTH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE SO THAT YOU AND I CAN BE FORGIVEN AND I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM AND DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, THEN I ASK YOU TO CONTACT ME OR JUST ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU AND TO CLEANSE YOU AND COME INTO YOUR HEART. THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY........NO BETTER DAY TO START YOUR WALK WITH JESUS!!!

SEA SHELLS BY THE SEA SHORE

2012-02-13T15:54:35Z

I love sea shells and it is another wonder for me that sea shells never end. The more I take the more the ocean gives......and they are so unique and beautiful. A Wave I sat on the beach and a beautiful wave Came tumbling right up to me. It threw some pink shells on the sand at my feet, Then hurried straight back out to sea. It ran away swiftly and leaped up in foam; It bumped other waves in its glee. I think it was hurrying to gather more shells, To bring as a present for me. Gussie Osborne
