.
The first thing that I wan't to do is go to the Eagle Web Cam and let it take us rirht to the nest and see how they are doing this morning, It has been very interestng the last few days to just watch them grow.

Here is a new link below that I know that you will enjoy after today the link will be found in the side panel.

.
The weather is a little warmer this morning, the tempeature at 3 A. M. is 57, and we will have some sun today, now this is getting to be what this old man can enjoy.
.
I know that we all are needing our tea and coffee on this cool morning. It will be ready in a jiffy, sit down right there and RELAX and I will pour you a cup. And wipe that frown off your face, you know that I do not like to see frowns. So lets smile as we drink our coffee or tea.
.
This book "Call Me Dad." makes a nice gift for any Dad, new or old. I am a 95+ great grand Pa and I ordered one of the books and I am enjoying it, it brings back so many sweet memories of the time when Jim and Mary were babies. to read more about the book and how to order one go over to the side panel on the right.
.
Here is my thought for today.
.
" Love is the Kingdom's Banner, Lift it against the sky. Over the fields of battle, Where the needy cry."
.
This is a line in one of our hymns, permission given me to use this from our friends R.L. Allan and Son
in Glgasgow Scotland.
...
Here below is a little more information about the way to go on a hike in the smokies, One of the pictures is of Levi my favorite. Dad.

.



. .

Here is the e-mail I received from Laura when she sent the these three pictures.

"Hi Ray,
Nice seeing you out today. Attached above are more pictures of Levi on his first llama trek to Max Patch. He is very laid back because his best buddy, Mr. Peanut is resting nearby. The other llama is Bucky, one of our retired packers on the mound of dirt they like to play on.
Laura"

Mary and I saw Laura yesterday and she tells us that they are having Treks now, this would be a good time for you to get in touch with Laura or Lucy. And make a reservation to go on one of these hikes. You can reach them by clicking on this link below. You will find all the information that you need here,

http://www.hikinginthesmokies.com/index.html..

I thought that this below is interesting. Dad..

Think of our Llamas as your hiking companions. Not only are they going to carry the load you would normally have to contend with, most llamas enjoy the hike as much as their handler. Llamas with their keen eyes, tend to notice wildlife and draw our attention to things you would normally not even see along the trail. Their intelligence, agility and calm disposition make them outstanding pack animals. Put that together with their surefootedness, ease of handling and low impact on the environment, and you can soon see why so many have come to see trekking as a great way to enjoy the outdoors.

.

There are lots more to see over in my side panel, you can see for one Tennessee Granddaddy , and he will always make you think and smile.Dad.

.

I have not told you very much about our seven guest that we had on Thursday, it was wonderful, a very helpful day, I am saving that for later. Dad.

.

It is over time for me to bring this to a close, sometimes it's hard for me to stop when I am talking about something that I enjoy, and I do love Llamas, especially Levi. Laura is a friend of ours and she and her family have been for many years.

.I hope to see you in the early morning, and if you will have a smile I will have a big cup of Starbucks coffee or tea waiting for you, but you had better bring the smile. Let.s try to be happy and content today in the place that God has given us, remember God knows what is best for us.

ENTRY # SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE

GOOD MORNING,

Here is a little poem that Mary enjoyed when she was a child. I don't know who wrote it, but want to give credit to whoever did.

"Your life lies before you,

Like fields of pure white snow,

Be careful how you tread it,

For every step will show."

This is a special tomato knife that a dear one (Martha) gave to us a few years ago. It cuts the tomatoes so nicely.

.

We are having some wonderful weather here in Tennessee. Yesterday was a wonderful day , a high of 72 and a nice breeze. And this morning seems to be getting off to another good day. Our temperature is 56 and we expect some more sun today.

.

I was so glad to get to work outside yesterday and I did get several things done. One thing was I got my two fountains cleaned and filled with water, I had them on all afternoon, it looks like spring around here.

I made a little Video of the fountains that I will show you later. It is going to be hard to keep from smiling this morning.

.

Time is so precious-do not waste it.

.

Look over to your right on the side panel there is something there that I am proud of, Its a Guest Book, please sign it for me if you have the time. DAD
