I am listening to it as I type this comment. You are such a dear person, precious in His sight, and special to so many of us.<br /><br />Enjoy your day, and play with your new little house.

I would love to see that Blossom Time China. I should look it up. I can imagine it is beautiful. Thank you for your kind thoughts regarding my neighbor. Yes, I do believe she is ready to meet the Lord and Creator. I think this past year of suffering has brought her closer to the Lord. She is a wonderful neighbor and will be missed. <br />Have a lovely weekend and St. Patrick's Day! Praying still for your son.<br />Pamela M.

I guess there is a "dark side" to the beauty of the water birds...on an interesting note, my son, who works at a golf course, almost got hit in the head with a fish yesterday. An eagle and an osprey were fighting over it in the sky, and the osprey dropped the fish. It landed very near to my son. He picked it up to throw it back in the pond, but apparently it was too late for it. He could see where the talon had pierced its side. He said it was quite a big fish, and it appeared to be still trying to "breathe", but it was too late.Pamela M.

I know she will be relieved to be released from her body of pain. She's been pretty much house-bound for the past almost a year, and I know she has missed being able to enjoy her yard and the beauty around her. Yes, we all need to be ready.

You know we have a famous apple orchard in one of our maritime provinces near by and I have never been there unfortunately. Always wanted to go to Annapolis Valley, but never did. I had been to Nova Scotia many times because that is where my father grew up but I never made my way to that splendid orchard. An interesting fact about this apple orchard is that Royal Albert took an image from that beautiful orchard and produced Blossom Time china. <br />I'm sorry about your neighbour. Yes, I pray she is ready to meet the Creator of all that she loved and cared for. God bless her! <br />I too will be wearing green on Sunday because I am a wee bit Irish.
