HAPPY SUNDAY !!
Here we are R & R day again. Yesterday was a pretty sunny winter day here in Northern Ohio. I actually turned the furnace down a notch and it was comfortable in here too! After church today I’ll be home trying to finish up some things around here before going back to work tomorrow.
I put a little dent in my ‘to do’ list and even got some ironing done yesterday, but there’s always more to do. I got some pictures from DS#1 by e-mail showing the new golf carts they got to get us around the campground this summer. I’ll put pictures of them on my journal page if you want to see.
They really camp in style so it will be quite different camping with them this summer as I’m not used to such luxurious camping. It’ll be fun though and it won’t be long til April comes and we’ll be able to spend the weekends at the campground. I do hope it is a nice spring. Those April showers can come during the week, but come the weekend I do hope the sunshines.
I also got a call from our ‘Dino” boy on Saturday evening. What a nice surprise. I don’t get to talk with DS#2’s children very often, but it’s grand when I do. The last time I got to see them was a year ago this past Christmas. That is much too long, but they live very far from here. He says he’s doing good in school and had been out to ride his bike. It was a little cold there, but he got out anyway . It’s hard to believe but he’ll be 8 years old already this April.
It seems my large family never ceases to amaze and delight me. How very blessed I am.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS…DINOSAUR LOVERS DAY
The word "dinosaur" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe "fearfully great reptiles" - and there were only three dinosaurs known at the time.Scientists have now identified more than 700 speicies in many shapes and sizes. They lived from 225 million years ago up until about 65 million years ago. But, actually they live on today as the birds.

TODAY’S SMILE
Things You Can Learn from a Dog . . .
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout . . . run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
TODAY’S WORD
nettlesome \NET-l-suhm\, adjective:
Causing irritation, vexation, or distress
Nettlesome is from the verb nettle, "to sting; to irritate or vex" (from nettle, a plant covered with minute sharp, stinging hairs) + -some
TODAY’S REFLECTION
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven…
Matthew 16:19a
Jesus was speaking to his twelve disciples, but I believe that he gave "the keys of the kingdom" to each of us, when he said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it. 'Love your neighbor as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-39)
None of us can escape the troubles that life can bring, but if we are willing to accept Christ's commandments, we have the keys to open the door to "the peace that passes all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
Don't turn a chair with one foot as the pivot. It will lead to family quarrels
25 DAYS UNTIL SPRING !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
