I'm really getting into this computer thing. I enjoy it very much....enjoy the friends I've made on the computer...friends from all over the world. Enjoy my family who are scattered all over. We talk and share and play games together. Share our pets, and the seasons...right now the falling leaves and the end of summer. I've found some wonderful recipes to cook some playful meals.

Some musings I have this a.m.: Although we purchase twice what we did in the 50's can I honestly say I am happier for it? Do I sense that my neighbors, friends, and family are more at peace, joyful, at ease? Do I feel in them a palpable sense of well-being and delight? If not, why not? My car runs faster, telephone reaches farther, computers are everywhere, dishwasher more efficient, armies better equipped, our police have more weaponry, medicines are more powerful, the interstate highways are bigger and reach farther, buildings are safer, more modern, and temperature controlled. I have, in short, everything I ever wanted or dreamed of. Or do I? Do I take the time to enjoy and thank God for all these blessings?
It is my pleasure, today, to consider all these things and taste the sweetness of peace, serenity, well-being, and delight.....take each moment of each day as it comes and enjoy and be happy, trusting my father in heaven. The truth must be told: With all the money in the world, and no time or gratitude in my heart, I really have nothing at all.

7 a.m. The sun just came up in a beautiful sky. Life is good today. I'm reading and studying at the moment, looking out the window and wondering what to do today to have a great day.

Just wondering a little......How many times do we scream silently?
How many times do we scream loudly? Which is better?
Does it do more good to suffer silently or loudly? Hum m m

Remodeled the bathroom a little yesterday - painted the floor white and now wondering what color carpets to put down.
Named our place here in Oregon, "Little Creek Farm", as we found out the name of the creek that runs thru the back field is called, "Little Creek"..... very fitting as it isn't very big. It rained pretty hard for 2 days so now it is a little bigger. Virg came in and announced that some water was running into the pond and out into the creek. In the winter when it rains nearly all the time it floods and looks like the Mississippi River.
