Sir Winston Churchill took three years getting through eighth grade because he had trouble learning English. It seems ironic that years later Oxford University asked him to address its commencement exercises.
He arrived with his usual props. A cigar, a cane and a top hat accompanied Churchill wherever he went. As Churchill approached the podium, the crowd rose in appreciative applause. With unmatched dignity, he settled the crowd and stood confident before his admirers. Removing the cigar and carefully placing the top hat on the podium, Churchill gazed at his waiting audience. Authority rang in Churchill’s voice as he shouted, “Never give up!”
Several seconds passed before he rose to his toes and repeated: “Never give up!” His words thundered in their ears. There was a deafening silence as Churchill reached for his hat and cigar, steadied himself with his cane and left the platform. His commencement address was finished.
Love and Blessing Friend and remember "Never Give Up!" Hugs
Saturday is upon us and so is the heat wave. Now let's find something exciting to do.
Loud music and lots of dancing should be on the agenda for every weekend.
Well, not everyone is full of energy today, I see. I hope you have something fun planned.
Even reading a book or watching a movie can be exciting. I finished another book last night and then watched a Hallmark movie.
There aren't many things more fun than just getting in the car and driving. Turn down a road you have never been on that leads you to someplace you have never been. Woo Hoo! Let's Go!!!
Then at the end of the day, "Thank the Lord" for a wonderful day of adventures, through travel, books or music or wherever He has taken you!
Where did the week go? The month is almost over too. Are you ready for the weekend?
The only thing I know for sure is that it is time to start the day and to celebrate with coffee!
Our kids came yesterday and Wayne wanted to drive the zero turn mower! He drove it so fast I couldn't even get a video of him on it. Both the granddaughters drove it and were experts with it. They also both drove in Houston traffic recently. They have been taught well by their Dad.
They even brought dinner for us to enjoy with them. It is always fun when they come.
We had a meal provided for us, got the grass mowed and had lots of fun sharing plants and visiting yesterday.
When they left, Nicole hung her doodle drawing on the refrigerator too. She loves to draw and is very creative. We may not see them often but they are a blessing to us when they come visit.

Good Thursday Morning to you! Thank you for sharing your heart with me.
Guard your heart for out of it springs the issues of life.
I thought these would be fun to make for Valentine or an Anniversary.
I hope you share your heart with everyone you meet. Share God's love with them too!
My strawberry plants are still making beautiful strawberries, but my precious neighbors, 9 year old Bennett and 3 year old Livvy, come to visit just often enough to eat them all.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart for He gives us what we don't ask for or want, but what we need. Blessings & Hugs!
