I agree Jaycee! Thank you for being here...

[jaycee]

Thank you, Kitty. Those Meadowlarks are such beautiful birds. I hope some of your pics come out clear. Maybe a sunny day will show up when the Meadowlarks are seen again. I would love to see a lot of them like that around here. ((((HUGS))))

[left that other site]

Hallelujah!

[jaycee]

That one has so much pretty yellow markings. They sure are beautiful birds, aren’t they?

[jaycee]

Thank you, teenie. I guess it was a so-so day if you know what I mean! LOL!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yeah....for SURE!!! If you could’ve read her texts....

[jaycee]

Wonderful news about your friend, Debbie! Praise the Lord for His many blessings every day! I am so happy for her and for you B.G.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks, jaycee....and she doesn’t even KNOW about FR. ;) She just knows that a bunch of my online pals were praying for her...

[MEG33]

Yes they are..My daughter and son in law came for a little visit..Great to see them!

[MEG33]

Thanking God for Debbie’s good news.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, MEG...

[jaycee]

Wonderful, Meg. Nothing makes us more happy than to see the faces of our beloved children. Sleep well tonight!

[Diver Dave]

Praise The Lord for the work He did for Debbie.

[Brad’s Gramma]

We are praising Him, Dave...so much!!

Those texts from her today were out of control HAPPY!! And relieved!!! :)

[Kitty Mittens]

That is the Prettiest Pic, Meg!
I Wish One of the Pics I Snapped would Look like that; I would be Ecstatic.

(((((Thank you for the Blessing!)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

I love Hubble Pics. They have strengthened my faith, not jeopardized it at all.

Amen, I Feel the Same Way!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for the Wonderful Update, Grammie!

Glory and Praise to our Lord!

[Kitty Mittens]

Maybe a sunny day will show up when the Meadowlarks are seen again.

That would be Awesome! They were Foraging Near my Living Room Windows, so I had a Good Camera-View of them, if Only the Lighting would have been Better.
I Hope they Come Back! : )

(((((Goodnight, Dear FRiends)))))

Our Lord Grant us All a Peaceful and Restful Night.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks, Sweetie...very very much. I’ll have to copy these and email to her...

Love

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I've ever met,
You're the one I can't forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best.

Benefits Of Friendship
February 14, 2012

Cicero was one of the greatest thinkers of the Roman Empire. He was a skilled orator, lawyer, politician, linguist, and writer. Still today he is quoted for his clear prose and practical wisdom.

For instance, of having friends he wrote: “Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.” He understood the double benefits of friendship along life’s journey.

Nearly a millennium earlier, King Solomon had written about the value of friends as well. In Ecclesiastes we read, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up” (4:9-10). Certainly a life without friends makes our sojourn lonely and hard to bear.

That famous Roman and that Jewish king were right: Friends are important. Friends serve as confidants, counselors, and burden-sharers.

Think about your friends. Have you been neglecting those God has provided to share your joys and sorrows? If so, seek out one of your friends for fellowship this week. Remember, “two are better than one,” because a friend can double our joy and divide our grief.

A friend is “trust,” a friend is “warmth,”
A friend is “always there”
To add to every happiness,
To lessen every care. —Anon.

Friends are flowers in the garden of life.

Read: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. —Ecclesiastes 4:9

Bible in a year:
Numbers 31-33

Well I’m a day late, still fighting the health battles, spent most of the day on the couch being a potato. The Endo upped my Synthroid med, that will help a little. Now if only we could get one of the PAIN problems fixed! Can’t see the back doc until mid April. That leaves time for the Urologist to fix the bladder LOL.

[GailA]

[jaycee]

Great Military graphic, Gail!

I can sympathize with your pain. Upper back pain is surrounding my every moment. Have an appointment with my doc the end of February and am trying to tough it out a couple of weeks. What I do not understand is why the pain pills that keeps my hip pain under control does not touch this upper back....go figure!

Hope you will find some relief soon, Gail.

[jaycee]

So beautiful, Amy. Billie did such pretty work. I wonder if she could be sick or as I hate to say, that something has happened to her worse than being sick? I can’t help but wonder about her.

I must dig in my files for some valentines greetings very soon now!

[MEG33]

Happy Valentine's Day

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.
I haven't heard from Billie forever.
I hope she is just tired of FR and there is nothing wrong.

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day.

[MEG33]

Good Morning

Thank you for the lovely Valentine Opening, Amy
I hope Billie is well and happy.

[JustAmy]

Happy Valentine's Day, Meg.
I like that vintage valentine. It is different, thank you.

Wishing you a Lovely Day.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Mayor.
Thank you for serving coffee and Our Daily Bread again this morning.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day.

[MEG33]

Happy Happy Anniversary

Polly And Mr Wog **** My Very Best Wishes!

[JustAmy]

Happy Valentine's Day, Gail.

It is good to see you but hate to hear that your are still having so much pain.
You are still in my prayers.

Take care of yourself.

[JustAmy]

Oooooh ... how pretty. Thank you, Meg. I also hope Billie is well.

I don’t know any way to contact her except by email. I don’t think Jim can help me but I will ask him.

[MEG33]

;o)
Thank you!

Thousands of people from around the world are descending on our little town for the annual three day World Ag Expo. I usually avoid going anywhere near the event because of the snarled up traffic and crowds, but this year we have VIP tickets to the Trace Adkins concert tonight and......drum roll.......the Ag Warriors Gala Dinner Benefit tomorrow night with keynote speaker President George W. Bush! For someone who rarely goes anywhere or does anything exciting...this is pretty big deal. LOL.

I am wishing all of Amy's Place a Valentine's Day full of
sweet surprises and lots of love!

[lonestar]

Have fun!

Weinie

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Weinie! ;-)

[MEG33]

What a treat..Look forward to a report!

Darling Valentine.

BG It’s my turn to ask for prayers (if you could ping your list or send private). My youngest son, Roy (the one with the two babies), has been having stomach problems for some time. Yesterday they did an upper GI and said that he has a “thickening” in one place in his esophagus that could, worst case, be cancer, or best case ulcer. It will be 21 days before he can get to see a specialist (thanks obama), so please pray that this is just an anomaly. And pray that he has peace of mind in the meantime. Thanks to all who will pray. Nan

[WVNan]

What a treat. Have fun.

Happy Valentine's Day

"Life without thankfulness
is devoid of love and passion.
Hope without thankfulness
is lacking in fine perception.
Faith without thankfulness
lacks strength and fortitude.
Every virtue divorced from
thankfulness is maimed and
limps along the spiritual road."
-John Henry Jowett

Thanks. I hope to get some photos at both events but I am not sure what the photo policy is going to be. If cameras aren’t allowed, I may have to just see what I can surreptitiously snap with my cell phone. :-)

[jaycee]

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Nan. Love and hugs to you and yours!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh.....chocolate, roses and coffee! My favorite things. Love and hugs to you, jaycee!
