Happy Birthday Jana Hope its a Great one Love you Honey !!!!

                    In memory Of   9/11

        

             911

What a sad day .. We walk through life not knowing what that day will bring .You wake up in your every day routine .. For many people the 11 th day of September terror would come on a wing.. So much sorrow to them it would bring . As everyone went on their way it seemed just like another part of our routine ..When our peace was disturbed to our dismay.. It wouldn't be just another day … As fear was struck in us all .We never knew the towers would fall ..As they scrambled in fear to get away .. They never knew that morning it would be their last day..Their thoughts went out to their families and friends.Not knowing that they would never see them again .We all watched as our families were slain. We might not have known of anyone that was taken way .. but we will always cherish the lives that were lost that day .. For all the dreams and lives that came to an end .. We add all the ones that were lost to our list. loved ones and friends that no longer exist. We will love you all my anonymous friends.. We are so sorry it had to come to such an end ….

She will Be pretty excited to see the blog !!

 Camila made a video she would like for everyone to hear ..

OK Let me setup a Scenario ... Ok a bus load of all your Friends are Unfortunately  Hit by a Train and everyone of them Die ... Ok this bus is Filled with past and present Friends .. You are given a list of your friends that Parished in the Crash... As you go down the list you look at the names and remember the last thing you had said to that person.... Was the last thing you said to them  i love you or was it something that was said out of anger .. If this happened to you would you have any regrets in your friendships ...Could you Say with a clear conscience we were close and loved eachother to the end ...  This could also apply to family members .. I think sometimes we are too quick to right someone off in our life not knowing how much it will hurt us when they are gone ..  I know this sounds Pretty Morbid but i think it makes us stop and think ...  

I had an awesome time today with some friends at the Zoo ...  Until i lost them at the Dinosaur ride... SO i took off on my own.. Taking pics and watching People ...I dont know which was more unique the Animals behind the bars or the ones outside of them.. Most of my Pics are of ther ones inside the cages .You will have to go to the Zoo and People watch on your own... 

Heres some clickable thuimbnails and I'll add the rest inside the blog ...

 

watch this video and tell the truth would you have bolted ..   ????

Ok i was sitting on my Front porch with my Camera waiting to get some shots of Humming birds on my Feeeder ... But that didn't happen so i got bored and started taking pics of myself .. This is just a glimpse of me being bored .. and i neeed to brush my teeth ewwwwww .. There was a Facial Expression feature on my camera but it didnt help .. Mom was laughing her butt off of me ... :P

 

I was doing a litttle Grilling this afternoon and the birds were flying all over ..We have a nest of Doves underneath or Patio ... I wqs trying to take some quick Pics as i was grilling .. Here are some pics of some House Wrens ,House Sparrows and some Hairy woodpeckers ... I am so glad the warm weather is here .. Cleaned off the back patio Ready for a party !!!!    ha ha ....

 

I made these Clickable thumbnails Because i know jeanette loves them   :-)~~   ha ha

I took some pics of an old house ...  Check them out   .. Click on thumbnails   ......

 

 

 

There is this Old house in Shelby county mo. Just a few miles from my Farm.. The old house has been abandoned for a Few years ... It was once a beautiful old building .. It is in bad disrepair at the moment .. We would travel the old back roads looking at deer and other wildlife in the evening Hours ... I have always had an eerie feeling passing by this old house like someone was watching me .I decide to take a picture of the old house one evening .. I never really thought anything about what i might have captured.. I downloaded the pic from my Camera to my computer.. I loked at the front door and i thought i saw something there .. SO i used my computer to zoom into the Front Door and it gave me Chills .. It looks like an elderly Gentleman Standing on the front door Holding a small Child ... I have showed the picture to several people and they say they see the same thing i do without me telling them what i see.. So hopefully you can see it too ....

 

 

Some people say its a glare off of the window but i can assure you there is no window in the door.There was no sun shning that day ...   So do you see what i see or what so many of my friends have seen that i have Shared the Picture with?  ...  What do you think do you beleive in Ghosts ...

 

 

 

What a difference a sad event in
someone's life makes.

GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.


We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.


   I thought George made some good points ...

A bad hair day

 

A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush

 

A bolt out of the blue

 

A chain is as strong as its weakest link

 

A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but once

 

A day late and a dollar short

 

A dead ringer

 

A diamond in the rough

 

A diamond is forever

 

A dish fit for the gods

 

A drop in the bucket

 

A face only a mother could love

 

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living

 

 

A man of few words

 

A man passes for what he is worth

 

A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client

 

A man's got to do what a man's got to do

 

A man's home is his castle

 

A man's word is as good as his bond

 

A new broom sweeps clean

 

A penny for your thoughts

 

A penny saved is a penny earned

 

A picture is worth a thousand words

 

A place for everything and everything in its place

 

A play on words

 

A poor excuse is better than none at all

 

A poor man's memories could be a rich mans Goal

 

A right start in life is a career half made

 

A rolling stone gathers no moss

 

A she devil

 

A stitch in time saves nine

 

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

 

A time for all seasons

 

A time to live and a time to die

 

A tree is know best by it's fruit

 

A watched pot never boils

 

A wise man listens to his own conscience

 

A word to the wise is sufficient

 

A-1

 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

 

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

 

Ace in the hole

 

Ace up his sleeve

 

Achilles Heel

 

Acid test

 

Across the board

 

Act in haste, repent in leisure

 

Actions speak louder than words

 

Adam's apple

Add insult to injury

 

After all is said and done, usually more is said than done

 

After the feast comes the reckoning

 

Against the grain

 

Age before beauty

 

Ain't just waltzing around with you

 

Ain't no fool like an old fool

 

Albatross around the neck

 

Alive and kicking

 

All good things come to those who wait

 

All is fair in love and war

 

All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them

 

All roads lead to Rome

 

All that glitters is not gold

 

All things being equal

 

All Thumbs

 

All wet

 

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

 

All's over but the shouting

 

All's well that ends well

 

Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest

 

Heres a bunch of old saying i Found see what you Can come up with ..

Its Funny how old saying start .. My grandfather walk in to a local restaurant and asked if anyone had a Screen door they would like to trade for and Overcoat ... I thought that was pretty witty for a man of 80... Ive never heard that ..

DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT WILL DROP WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING TO COME AND HELP YOU ? DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT WILL CRY WITH YOU LAUGH WITH YOU AND JUST BE THERE WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK . SOMETIMES I THINK THAT WE GET SO BUSY WE FORGET TO THANK ALL OF OUR FRIENDS ..THE FRIENDS THAT ARE TRUE THE FRIENDS THAT LOVE YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN. THEY SAY BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER .. BUT IT REALLY TAKES A GOOD PERSON TO PUT UP WITH YOU WHEN THERE IS NO BLOOD TIES THERE AT ALL  LOL  ..  I  WANT TO THANK MY FRIENDS FOR BEING TRUE AND GENUINE . IF YOU THINK I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY FRIENDS I HAVE NOT ... THEY ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND AND IN MY PRAYERS ....
