Good morning everyone.

Good morning to all of you new people.

Right now, there are 13 of us.

Christmas Ornament Exchange.

Things don't always work out as you plan.

I wrote this on Thursday, but didn't get it posted.

Around 11:15 a.m. yesterday, we decided to find the bunk beds and put them up and take the full bed down so the boys and DS would all have their own beds in the same room, as there is a trundle bed with the set of bunks we have had for 38 years. We took them down about 20 years ago, or more and stored them, but not all in the same place.

I too hope things will go well.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning,

Hi again, Cookie, I just have to ask when your Birthday is and also, if you would please post it in the 'Birthday' thread here on the Sunporch.

I did a search and here is one site that I thought might be of interest to at least Becca.

Good morning everyone.

Here is one we use to sing when I was very young.

Red Wing

First Verse

There once lived an Indian maid,

A shy little prairie maid,

Who sang a lay; a love song gay,

As on the plain she'd while away the day.

She loved a warrior bold,

this shy little maid of old,

But brave and gay, he rode oneday

to battle fara way.

Chorus

Now, the moon shines tonight' on pretty RED WING,

the breeze is sighing,the night bird's crying,

For a-far 'neath his star her brave is sleeping

While Red Wing's weeping her heart away.

Second Verse

She watched for him day and night,

She kept all the campfires bright,

And under the sky, each night she would lie,

And dream about his coming by and by;

But when all the braves re-turned,

the heart of Red Wing yearned,

For far, far away, her warrior gay,

fell bravely in the fray.

Chorus

Now, the moon shines tonight' on pretty RED WING

the breeze is sighing,the night bird's crying,

For a-far 'neath his star her brave is sleeping

While Red Wing's weeping her heart away.

I got this from the internet.

One of our loved ones has gone home to be with God.

Francis (King) Gatch was born on March 12, 1944. Went to be with our Lord on Thursday September 16. 2004.

Francis had spent time in Alaska as well as Florida and her last home was located in Chattanooga, TN. She loved her home in TN. I know she did not want to move back to FL. as there were to many memories there and she just loved her home and the people where she lived last.

Fran loved her daughter and son-in-law, and was looking forward to the day she would be a grandmother. This did not happen for her though.

Fran loved people, she loved working with genealogy, she loved her cats and she loved watching the birds out on her patio. Fran tried many types of craft things. Fran loved life, even though she had had a very rough life. .

Fran, at one time wrote a family news paper. She was a moderator on both Mrs. Survival and Our Country Haven, Fran will be missed by so many people on line, more than just on these two sites.

I have known Fran since 1999 when I met her on Mrs. S. We met in the Health forum and we were made a team for helping each other stay on our diets. Which of course, we didn't stay on the diets, but we have been very very close every since. We have spent many hours on Yahoo messenger talking and also many many more hours on the phone talking. She was like a long distant sister to me. We talked about everything and anything. We talked about our families, and our likes and dislikes, when we were feeling blue, we could talk to each other and feel better. We told each other things that we would not tell others, or post on line.

Fran has suffered different problems these past few years. With her osteoporosis, she has had broken bones which were hard to heal. Now May of 2004 she had a heart valve replacement done she had a hard time with the side affects of this surgery. Then Fran had a stoke which left her paralyzed on her left side, as well as unable to speak. She was left handed, therefore unable to do much writing.

Fran, if there had been any way at all that I could have been with you at the hospital, you know I would have been there for you.

Fran, I know you are not in pain any more. I love you and will see you again one day. God bless you. Thank you for all you have done for so many people.

There will be a memorial service at 2:00 P.M. Eastern time, Tuesday September 21, if you would like, please take a moment to think about Fran. To remember her and who she was and is.

Love and Hugs,

Victory in Jesus

I HEARD AN OLD,

OLD STORY

HOW A SAVIOUR CAME

FROM GLORY

HOW HE GAVE HIS LIFE

ON CALVARY

TO SAVE SOMEONE LIKE ME

I HEARD ABOUT

HIS GROANING,

OF HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD'S

ATONING

THEN I REPENTED

OF MY SIN

AND WON THE VICTORY

OH, VICTORY IN JESUS,

MY SAVIOUR FOREVER

HE SOUGHT ME

AND HE BOUGHT ME

WITH HIS REDEEMING BLOOD

HE LOVED ME

ERE I KNEW HIM

AND ALL MY LOVE

IS DUE HIM

HE PLUNGED ME TO VICTORY

BENEATH THE

CLEANSING FLOOD

I HEARD ABOUT HIS

HEALING,

OF HIS CLEANSING POW'R

REVEALING

HOW HE MADE THE LAME

TO WALK AGAIN

AND CAUSED THE

BLIND TO SEE

AND THEN I CRIED

"DEAR JESUS,

COME AND HEAL

MY BROKEN SPIRIT"

AND SOMEHOW JESUS

CAME AND BROUGHT

TO ME THE VICTORY

OH, VICTORY IN JESUS,

MY SAVIOUR FOREVER

Ok, so I like the rain.

Ok so I didn't post last week about the miles.

Hi Susa. I so agree with you about the goats.

Sounds interesting, Pansy.

Oh, Westie, this is so good.
