I know it was here...

My neighbor who lives in back of us, on the corner, has a camper which fits into the back of a pickup truck. It has sat in the same spot for over two years. This camper has a air vent on top which must have been open, for two small dark colored birds have called it home for at least two years.

This morning I watch the owner and a friend load the camper onto a truck, and drive away. A little latter I saw one of the birds come home. He would fly from the top of a small tree near by, to the top of a screened in trampoline, which was opposite of where the camper was. He even hovered over the area were the top of the camper would have been. I could almost read his thoughts, "I know it was here when I left! Where is it???"

He stayed for a while searching for his home, quite confused.
It is bitter cold outside today, I hope they finds shelter near by.

Are you saying goodby...

I think one of the hardest experiences of life, is to watch someone on the edge of this life, and moving toward the next. A young father trying desperately to keep his family together, as his wife lay in a hospital bed, edging toward the end of this life. Laying in a Coma, with the Dr. saying that there is much brain damage.

I see the tender love he has for her, and the love in the faces of the children for their parents. He is trying to stay strong for his children's sake, but inside is a different story.

Many prays are lifting unto heaven in their behalf, with hopes and prayers of all who surrounds them...

We don't understand how fragile our marvelous human bodies are, and how easily they can be damaged, or how short the time we have here, really is...

Maybe we should consider what is really important to us...

Spring is here...

Besides the Calendar stating that it is really Spring.....I saw 2 Robins this morning, and my tulip and daffodils leaves are poking up in the flowerbeds.

It is alot warmer outside today, not even needing a coat. I have opened the doors to let in a cool breeze. I saw a group of seagulls flying in circles high in the sky.

It has been a long winter, and lots of snow, which I think is beautiful....(I love the change of seasons,) but I am sooooooo ready for a change.

Hello...

This photo was taken on the back porch of a neighbor's daughter, who lives in Santiquin Utah. During the time we had heavy snow, in February 2008

Special Delivery...

Sometime ago I had made a Mary Kay order with my daughter Jodie, who lives in Arizona. It had been sometime since she had received it, and had not sent it to me. In talking with her last week, she said it was being sent in a big box, with a surprise in it for me, because I had been so patient in receiving it. It was schedule to be delivered on Saturday.

So Saturday came, I watch for the UPS truck....it goes by, I watch for the Fed-ex truck...I see it on the road behind us, but it never comes here. Hum... maybe she ment regular mail, but the postman had come and gone....no box. Tom said it was to be in SLC on Saturday, we live about a hour away by freeway, so maybe it will come on Monday. Then I hear Jodie over the phone, in the background, it will be delivered on Sat.

About 12:30 am, after much door knocking, and doorbell ringing, which I did not hear. And a phone call,... My Mary Kay order arrived. In a big box, a truck, with a big surprise in it, Jodie and Tom :) :) :) ......That was a Surprise...

Everybody seemed to know about the surprise, except for Lynn and I...
