.tricky t-day~ Misty's workout 2
Posted: 03 Jan 2011 09:00 PM PST

Thanks to Ricky for giving us the idea to wedge our peanut ball in between the coffee table and couch. I think it is giving Misty a sense of security, and some independence getting on the ball. I still have to lift her back legs onto the ball, but she puts her fronts on quite enthusiastically.Thanks to Marie & Kathy for suggesting the disc. Both my dogs love it. Misty needs to use the nubby side for some extra traction, and I make it harder for Oreo, by giving him the smooth side. They literally fight over who gets to go first, pushing each other off the thing. Misty wins. She didn't earn the nickname "tank" for nothing.After my scary Misty post (sorry, I didn't realize so many of you would react so deeply to my first paragraph, I should have started with a disclaimer!), I thought Misty's fan club would enjoy seeing Misty active, sparkly, and hungry.

Since we are right here watching Misty why don't we go by Sara's house and see what all of them are up to this morning Here is where we need to go Sara's Dog Training blog and we will receive some smiles that we will remember all day. Dad.

If you strike a thorn or rose, Keep a-goin'!
If it hails of if it snows,Keep a-goin'!
'Taint no use to sit an'whine
When the fish ain't on your line;
Bait your hook an' keep a-tryin'-Keep a-goin'!

When the weather kills your crop,
Keep a-goin'!Though 'tis work to reach the top,Keep a-goin'!
S'pose you're out o' ev'ry dime,
Gittin' broke ain't any crime;
Tell the world you're feelin' prime -Keep a-goin'!

When it looks like all is up, Keep a-goin'!
Drain the sweetness from the cup,Keep a-goin'!
See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like sighin', sing -Keep a-goin'!

Good Morning.

Are you Happy and Smiling in this New Year 2011 that we are living in now ? Well I am, I am excited about it and I feel that there will be many opportunities for us this year to produce a lot of SMILES and TOMATOES, and to live for others. I hope that my health will be good so that I can do some of the things that I love to do, And I wish the same thing for all of you. I am so glad to be back, I enjoy the two days that I have off, but I miss my visits each morning with you, and my Sumatra x bold Starbucks coffee.

Oreo and I reached a milestone today! At our morning CPE trial, Oreo had two runs over 4 yards per second. Broke our record of 3.9, which was on a jumps only course. These runs included tunnels.I can't tell you how many people came up to me to say, "He's gotten so much better," and "beautiful runs."Oreo dealt with things like men in ring crew chairs, and having to take a jump right toward the crowd and steps away from the timer & scribe. I thought for sure he would go around that jump. He flew over it like we were all by ourselves.My strategy today, ignore all Oreo's usual stressors, pretend Oreo has no stressors, and simply run my butt off, encouraging Oreo verbally the entire time.The two runs were like a dream. I only got our first run videoed. Too bad, because I think our second run was our best.Now I have to stop cheering for Oreo when he's going over the last jump, because he dropped that last bar. Second time I've caused him to drop a bar with my hootin' and hollerin'. I have a hard time controlling my excitement when he surprises me with such a good run. Sara.
.
While we are here why don't we just click Sara's Dog Training blog and see what Sara, Misty and Oreo are doing in this new year. I have enjoyed them the past year and I am sure that I will get a lot of smiles this new year

This link alone will answer most of the questions that you could have about producing Tomatoes, Dad,

The Psalm of Life
..
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
..
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, - act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
.
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Bear with us, our tripod is making a noise when we turn it left to right. We will have it fixed soon.



.
I am going to stop for a little while, it may take me the most of the day to complete this, But before I go I want to leave you my thought for today.
.
" He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. A men, Even so come Lord Jesus."
.
Revelations chapter 22 verse 20

I am feeling good , I am content , I am not going to worry today about things that I Can not change, I will be back in the morning if my life is spared.

This is the last day of 2010, tomorrow we will be living in 2011, what are your thoughts about the year ? I must say that the years are passing, and some of us are beginning to show the effect that time is having on us. When I am with my friends I see a lot of grey hair and wrinkles showing up, but I still Love every one of them, one of our hymns reads like this --
'
"Change and decay in all around I see, Oh Thou who changes not abide with me "

THURSDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE

" Time is so precious, please do not waste it.".
.
Good Morning.
.
It is hard to realize that a new year is almost here, 2011. I wonder what it will be like. We are so glad that God in his mercy hides the future from our eyes. What miserable creatures we would be if we knew today what was going to happen to us tomorrow, now we leave that in God's hand. And we know that he will do what is good and best for us. It is so good to have a Father that plans the best for us.
. .
. We are going to show you a Video that we used a few days ago, we hope to give you anew one sometime today. Dad,
..
On this one it says to only hit replay instead of the back button. Dad

.
We need to go to Sara's Dog Training blog and see how Sara, Misty and Oreo are doing this morning, They mean a lot to me and I can drink my coffee better when I know they are OK. Dad .
.
Tomato season will be here soon in my zone and many of you are already getting them in the ground, and others may be producing ripe tomatoes, so you see this is a year round business. You will be hearing a lot about tomatoes in the coming weeks.

.Good Morning.

How are you doing this morning, I hope that all is well in your part of this wide world, I thought that I was in good shape, but now I wonder. When I am going to have a Video to show I always get it in here the night before, that is what I done last night, but when I began to work this morning it was gone. So I will have to make anothher one this morning, later in the morning. As it is said " If I did not have bad luck, I would not have any luck at all" DAD.


Here above is my video, I was late in getting this in today so I will show ir again on thursay. Dad
..
THE WINTER OF OUR LIVES.
..
It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.
I know that I lived them all...
And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is..the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well...seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like... But, here it is...some of my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant... but, like me, age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be....or close to it anyhow. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore...it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will..I just fall asleep where I sit! And so, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over...its over....Yes , I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done ,,,,,things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime....So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!!Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for good today and
say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...
and hope that they
appreciate and love you
for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!'Life is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after.
.
I do not know the author of this above. DAD

It is just about time for my Sumatra x bold coffee, and I always try to check on Sara, Misty and Oreo while I am enjoying my coffee, so here I am at Sara's Dog Training blog, Now you Sara bring me up to date. DAD.

About Me

Ray White
I started this Journal on August 28, 2003 for the main purpose of helping others produce a good home grown tomato. That is still my desire. And I have added another thing producing Smiles. Smiles are about as important to me as tomatoes I will be glad for any comments or criticism. I appreciate all of my readers who have stayed with me through these years. Dad.
.
Really 21 degree tempeature is not much of a time to talk about tomato gardening, but we better start now because spring will be here before we are ready for it, one good thing about Smiles you can produce them in zero weather, never gets to cold for them. Dad.
.
I need to ask how are you this morning ? I know that it is a good morning to stay in that warm bed, 21 degrees here at the tomato garden. We better crawl out and get on the job, we need the money.
.
Before we go we will have a cup of that Sumatra x bold coffee, and our usual peep at our friends Sara, Misty and Oreo, I can just see them in Jeff and Sara's warm house looking out from under a warm blanket, lucky Shelties.Sara's Dog Training blog is going to tell what is going on at their house this morning. DAD .

.
Since I began talking to you about an hour ago the tempeature has droped to 1X8 degrees. 16.

I don't know if I am done or not, when I began here I did not have even one thing to tell you, only that it was cold 21 degree, so let's make a deal if any of you from any country of the world have anything that would bring a SMILE send it to me this morning, we need smiles on this cold morning.
