ENTRY # EIGHTEEN HUNDRED & NINE

Good Morning.

[ Dad would like to say Hi on this Sunday morning. I hope to see you in the morning. DAD]

Picture above taken by Mary. 8/07/09. I am enjoying the birds and all wildlife that come to my house, even the squirrels. DAD.


"Time is so precious-do not waste it."

" Begin the Day with God."

I think that this is Saturday morning and I am happy that it is. This past week has been a little hard on me. It seems that everything has been done in a rush and I would like to settle down to a little slower life for a while.

And you remember how we handle the tea and coffee on Saturday. You do not have to be in any hurry this morning I will be home all day and I will have plenty of both ready, so stop in anytime. Maybe we can have a little more time to visit. DAD.

Here is something that Dad recommends.

http://www.americanprofile.com/


I have a niece who lives in the western part of Tennessee. She writes a blog that I like very much and I think that you will like it also. Click on this link BrushStrokes and you will be at her house and I know that you will receive a welcome,


Here below is what Karen says about her Art.


'' My watercolor experiences as I grow as an artist – through new techniques, painting successes and happy mistakes...sharing a tip or two, paintings, and enjoyment along the way. So, grab your paintbrush and let’s begin! '' Karen.

( I wonder if she would take me as a student, she may have an age bracket but I am only 96, I hope that she will see this and let me know. DAD )

Here is the weather report, sounds very good to me. This is from AOL.

Today 8/08/09.
Partly cloudy. High 92F. Winds light and variable.

I always check on Oreo and Misty each morning. They may not work on Saturday but we can stop in any way and say Hi and tell them how much that we love them. You will always find them right here Sara's Dog Training Thanks Sara for letting us see them. DAD.

Here is my thought for this day. Sunday 8/08/09.

" Oh for the peace of a perfect trust. My loving God in Thee. Unwavering faith that never doubts. Thy choice is best for me."

" And e'en tho dissappointments come they too are best for me. To wean me from this changing world. And lead me nearer Thee. "

This thought is from one of my favorite hymns. R. L. Allan and son of Glasgow Scotland gave me permission to use this.

Since this is Saturday I am going to leave you wih my side panel and stop, but I will be back Monday morning if all goes well..

Mary and I have just about the same plans that we have every weekend. Our Sunday morning meeting is the most important thing to us. We have been invited to have lunch with two of our friends, Don & Martha and we have accepted that.

Smile & be kind untill I see you early Monday morning.

BYE BYE DAD.

Good Morning Dad,
Everything looks lovely at your house. I feel as though I have been run ragged this week also. I don't know when we might be able to come up with Colt back in school & working full time also. I will let you know if something changes though.

love you both

Hello Dad!
I think you would make an excellent art student. You know Grandma Moses started really late in life and look how famous she is! I love your wildlife habitat...Even though I live in the city, I have opossums and raccoons that wander up and eat the cat food I leave for the strays!
Take care and enjoy your weekend, especially the Sunday happenings.
With love,
Vicki in Birmingham

Hi Uncle Ray,
If you took my watercolor classes, you would be the "Teacher's Pet!" I could teach you how to paint a tomato too - not just grow them! I finished today's watercolor classes about half and hour ago and had a great time sharing watercolor tips! So, come on anytime to class and bring a cup of that good coffee with you.

Thanks for sharing info about my blog with all of your readers.

Lots of love your your niece in West Tennessee!
Karen

Hi Dad, hope your weekend is nice and peaceful. That's what weekends are for. You sure do have a pretty house and yard, and congratulations on being a Wildlife Refuge... I love that.

Hugs for you and Mary.

Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:

I hope you've enjoyed lunch with your friends, and are having some evening coffee right about now (or tea...). How exciting it is to see your beautiful sign! and know you are saving precious lives. Bless you both!

I LOVE your Thought For The Day -- it's a great one to sit with and think on, and one I cherish.

Your link to American Profile is great -- did you happen to read the story about Library Cats? I really enjoyed it and thought you might, as well. ;)

Have a lovely weekend! Love to you both from Jamaka and family
