Holocaust Days Of Remembrance-April 21-26

On Saturday night I got to go see a wonderful play at West Craven High School. The boy who played Otto Frank attends our church. The first picture is a copy of the program.

And below is the cast of characters. Remember some of these names. I feel sure some of them are destined for fame. These talented young people did a wonderful job!


"The Diary of Ann Frank" is one of my favorite books. I would advise everyone to read up on some Jewish History and remember the Holocaust.

Saturday Photo Hunt = Protect(ion)

The first is a borrowed picture. An example of GOD's protection.


In days gone by we would have exposed ourselves to the sun, now we use all the protection we can find to keep the rays of the sun off us.

I get to .....

I went to get my hair cut today. Donna, who cuts my hair, gave me something to think about.

I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to say "I've got to... get up... I've got to...take out the trash... I've got to.. wash the clothes... etc." as if everything is a burden.

She suggested we look at things differently and say..."I get to...get up.... I get to... take out the trash... I get to ... wash the clothes...etc... then we can realize how blessed we are that we still can do all those things...

I probably didn't explain that well, but I intend to start talking and thinking about things differently... Maybe I can break a bad habit.

More Irises are blooming

How Long Do You....

How long do you keep things? Everything becomes sentimental to me. Especially if my grandchildren made it. I have all kinds of things tucked here and there that are so old, but I'm "saving" them.

The wooden "thing" next to the bird house is an example. What do you think it is?

It's a horse. My oldest grandson made it twenty years ago. It is made from old scraps of wood he found in my husband's barn. He painted it too, but the paint has washed off over these years. Our neighbor across the road came over to look at it and nailed it to this light pole. My grandson was about four years old when he made it.

One day my husband was cleaning up and he decided that thing would be thrown away. When I found out, I threw a royal "hissy fit". He went back and nailed it again to the light pole. Its still there today.
