Good Morning.
"Time is so precious-do not waste it.''
"Begin the Day with God."
" Smile "

I am really surprised this morning that I am still feeling good. We were in our bible study last night and soon after it was over I was in my bed, and I had the best nights sleep that I have had in a long time. So I am up and ready to go get'em. I can even smile this morning.
.
I hope that I can get as much done today as I did yesterday. We are removing most of the tomatoe plants from the garden because they have finished their job. We wish that they could have lasted longer. We and some of our friends did enjoy them while they lasted. Its too early to even think about next season. That is too far ahead for this old man to be making plans.

I always think about those Shelties early each morning. It brings back a lot of sweet memories to me as I watch Sara work with them. It make me think of my Sheltie " Scottie " who I enjoyed for a few years. Now come with me and we will see whats going on at Sars's house this morning. Here is the place Sara's Dog Training and she will welcome you in. DAD
The Whale
A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a Line tugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed For help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only Way to save her was to dive in and untangle her -- a very dangerous proposition.
One slap of The tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, Thanking them.
Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the Whole time, And he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so fortunate...
To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit.
