I know the above is good advice, after living almost 98 years. Those years have passed like a dream, I have so many regrets for not putting more in those years like " Living for others and not so much for myself.

FRIDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED NINTY ONE

Steve you will have to tell us what this bird is, I don't really know. Steve writes Shooting My Universe and Steve I want to tell you that you do a wonderful job. Dad.

Below is what Steve sent.

"Good morning, Dad,This is a Purple Sandpiper. It is a species spend most of its life in the North Atlantic. In the winter, they come as far south as Massachusetts along the coast. They flock together and cling to the rocks of the shores here in Gloucester and on our breakwater. Hardy, plump little birds, they tough out the winter here and fly back north to bread in March and April. Steve."

This picture of a beautiful sunrise was sent to me from Ted, my next door neighbor. he is enjoying the Florida sun. Dad.

And what a difference, while Ted was enjoying Florida sun this a picture by Mary, heavy snow falling in our back yard. We had to cancel our bible study the roads were not safe Dad.

"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 even though disappointments come they too are best for me, to lead me from this changing world and lead me nearer Thee "
.
This above is another thought that came to me
during the night, I have not had very many disappointments lately, a few of course, so many good things have happen that makes me smile. Some of my friends are making changes that makes me smile. I am so glad for our Heavenly Father up above who is looking down on us, He sees and knows all things, good and bad not any thing is hid from his eyes.

This below is good,sent to me by a friend. Drema.
.
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back. And. just in case I'm gone tomorrow:
I LOVE YA!!!
Live today because tomorrow is not promised.

.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.

I need to ask how are you feeling ? I hope that you are feeling as good as I am. I had a real good night and I am now having my second cup of Sumatra x bold Starbuck coffee, why should I feel bad ?

Bait your hook an' keep a-tryin'-Keep a-goin'!

When the weather kills your crop,

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

Here below is a link that I always give my readers when they have a question for me. You will miss something if you don't read all the way to the end of page
..
.Dad's Tomato Garden Web Page
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.
