Hello. Thursday afternoon. Saw a notice that Captain Celluloid is having to be away from us for a bit? Anyone know if his health is an issue? I'm concerned about him. Not much news here. Just cooking roast beef for supper, doing laundry, and playing with the kitty. Also posted a question/answer type blog for anyone who likes that sort of thing. Just a way to stir up conversation and thought. Sending love and respect. ~ Marcia

Hello. It's mid-week again. A really beautiful day. I'm still waiting on the plumbers to show up and doing a bit of clean up about the house. Nuttin' special going on other than tomorrow is my youngest son's birthday. He'll be 37...gosh. If you follow my TexasLadee design page you know I've been showcasing charismatic donkies on my theme page. That's also why you get a sweet donkey to brighten your Wednesday. Here's to all things bright and wonderful ! ~ Marcia
Monday. Early afternoon. I must confess that the snow made the entire area seem especially beautiful. Quieter and more peaceful, too. However, it cut us off from one another even more. Without fellowship, the world is colder, bleaker, and a much darker place. Just so you know...I am thrilled to spend time with you this day and to share the blessed warmth of friendship ! ~ Marcia
Hello. Sunday evening. So glad to be starting a new week. Most of you probably already know how bad this past week in Texas has been. Unprecedented low temps and wind chills. Lots of snow and ice. Also, power and water outages, pipes bursting, auto accidents, and gas and food supplies in short supply. All we could do was stay home and burrow in. I was really happy that I stocked up on provisions and gas before the storms came. When power was out, I had plenty of blankets and such. Had internet go out, phones and tv out of service and water pressure drops and loss of hot water all occuring off and on. Still needing a plumber this week despite all the precautions I took to protect my pipes. Everything was covered outside and dripping inside. Also lamps in storage areas. Still have a small leak developing. Whew ! So glad it's over. Just the same...I enjoyed watching it snow and it was an oh, so beautiful sight. When I had power and internet i spent some time updating my pages. Could focus on that in short spurts.That information is for those of you who like to browse. I do know that a new contest is starting up soon. Found that out as I was catching up on e-mails and comments. So sorry that I was not available most of the days. Hope you all had an easier time of it. I'm just happy to be back amongst you. ~ Marcia
I finished the blanket happy about that ., for awhile
made a Roast Pork and Potato's, veggie , rolls for dinner., was yummy even my son said it. but i have a butcher and get all my meat from him so he trims everything so good.
another friend from New York came by to pick up the 2 blankets i made for his twins.
were expecting snow tomorrow then changing over to rain., so a lot of street will be flooded. hope you have a good night. see you in the morning.
It is always a tragic thing when a child dies. People have
a tendency to call this a injustice on the part of God.
However, God owes us nothing. If he gives our children ten
years and then takes them away, we must be grateful for
those ten years.
Also, I know how the Lord can use such happenings to
accomplish a good purpose.

Always remember when we don't know how to pray,
when the words just won't come, God hears the
silent cries of our hearts. Carol Anne...
Beautiful letter written by a father to his son �� Must send to your children
Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster and Child Psychologist.
The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents.!
This applies to daughters too. All parents can use this in their teachings to their children.
Dear son ,
I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons
Reason 1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early.
Reason 2. I am your father, and if I don’t tell you these, no one else will.
Reason 3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches.
WHAT IS LIFE? …. Remember the following as you go through life
1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I.
To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don’t hastily regard him as a real friend.
2. No one is indispensable, nothing is in the world that you must possess.
Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don’t want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love the most.
3. Life is short.
When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.
4. Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one’s mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness.
Don’t over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don’t over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.
5.A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life.
One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags!
6.I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.
7. You honour your words, but don’t expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don’t expect people to be good to you. If you don’t understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.
8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I could never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch!
9. No matter how much time I have with you, let’s treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life.
Read it twice Ask your son and daughter to read it thrice. Worth a read.. Share with you loved ones..
Just a little fun this morning..I hope you have a good day and smile often. Soon spring and summer will be here and we can all look for new brightness..Much love to all of my dear friends at Bommer!
