The dance began without the guys, my buddy! (But, I will be honored to take it up from here.)

[jaycee]

This was terrific, Luv.

I am trying to answer a few posts this morning. Missed all of yesterday as I was sore and stiff from being on all day New Year Eve’s Day and Night, even though I didn’t make it till midnight....LOL!!!

[jaycee]

Very cute, Amy!

[jaycee]

I sure loved that music, Luv...gotta keep some of these!

[jaycee]

I sure would love to know how they did a cake like that. It looks delicious and beautiful, polly.

[jaycee]

That was beautiful, yorkie! Just what Conor and little Jeremiah were looking for!

[jaycee]

Terrific, lonestar!

[jaycee]

That is so cute, Billie! I loved that little message. I must remember that! LOL!

[jaycee]

Great post and music, fewz!

[fewz]

Thank you. If we could just get Ms Billie to make up a set of less formal, everyday avatars then any post could become the subject for a cartoon.

By-the-way, I added pictures of my dogs to the graphic for Ms Dita. She wanted me to post their pictures last June and I just got around to it.

You know what they say: “Grampa was slow but he was old”.

;o)
This is great, fewz!

[jaycee]

And so was Grandma, fewz! I didn’t notice the doggie pics until I went back and glanced this morning! Not very observant, am I? I was paying attention to the Monster Mash! LOL~~~

Hi Meg, I’m gonna lay back down for a little while. Not feeling on top this morning. Its cold and a little snow is falling. My plans are to get all the decorations down and put away today. I’m a little late but there’s a lot to do at this present time. Will see you and everyone later, I hope.

[MEG33]

I hope you get to feeling better! I put the last of the decorations away this morning..I totally wrecked the guest room/office pulling out stacks of paperwork looking for a lost tax bill..and it remains wrecked..I have so much regular house cleaning to do now..but I am NOT going to push it..Take care of yourself..Wish you had our day..It will warm up to 75.(((Hugs)))

Thank You ... and a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sorry about that - try this one - it worked for me:

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Thank you - it worked right fine!

[ConorMacNessa]

Glad to hear it - sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[little jeremiah]

No problem! Right now I’m reading a long 0bama Birth Certificate thread and listening to youtube after youtube of bagpipes - those pipes are simultaneously pacifying and soul-stirring.
