Good Day "33"

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a good day wherever you may be

Sweet, sweet story Shirley, hope the sunshine stayed with you!

Are you all holding on to your hats in jolly old England?  I do hope there isn't going to be a mass of damage and flooding!

Wishing you all a super weekend! 

Thank you for that uplifting story Shirley.  Do take care of yourself .....as they say here in Devon "Good people are scarce".

Hi Ron,

I am currently on the Isle of Wight.

I shall be heading your way next Thursday and would like to pop in on my way to Yorkshire.

The weather here clear-ish but windy. I nearly got blown away once of twice but now the evening has come its not so bad.

We leave here tomorrow night night and head back to Kent then Monday I'm off to Somerset via Horsham. On THursday I shall head north to Yorkshire via Oxford and then back to London on Friday. The following week Thursday I head back to Africa. (Groan)

I hope no everyone survives the weather. Cheers from Sandhill on IOW

Sounds as though you are having quite a hectic tour around!  Sure you have masses of photographs for us to see as well!

Enjoy the rest of your visit.  If it's any consolation we have had strong cold winds all day and it looked very like we would get rain, but so far it hasn't fallen! 

Cathy I expect SA to be cold now but I came here for some warmth. It has let me down because I have only been warm the 1st 2 days I spent in London when it was 31 degrees. Maybe it will get warm again.

IOW is a great place and I could live here were it not so windy.

What does IOW stand for?

Crazy afternoon here...at 4 pm...last of this hurricane looking weather front came in...8 strikes of lightening...one hits an person walking on the Wildwood Trail in West Portland's Forrest Park...he got taken to the hospital by abulance...by 4;15 pm...it's all over the news...by 4:30 THEY ARE ASKING HIGH SCHOOLS with kids granduating tonight to please hold services inside,,,even if they don't have enough room...at 4:30 pm...129 lightening strikes north to south headed toward my house...I take an look and simply asked "God" to move it all northward...and don't hurt anyone in the process...he does so...but hubby comes through the door....followed by the first guy looking to replace our rain gutters out front from them falling the other night. It turned very dark outside though as it headed north and the storm cells are clearing...as everyone is talking about number two...the Grand Floral Rose Parade starts at 10 am tomarrow morning and as you all know..this in nationally aired every year in an televised program...though shown at different times....internationally also.... as we have 7 sister cities in it this year also.  So we are hoping the bad weather clears overnight and it stays nice for the parade....while they rescue an baby seal off the coast.... that was wound up in netting...and it was as cute as could be skipping off the beach and back in the water...hope it's mommie is out there as of yet...it's to young to be left alone. Anyway..it's not been "dull" since about 3 pm around here and things are just getting started good. We still have to talk to my daughter in-law on this family dinner thing for her graduating daughter,(my grandaughter) unless she's got so much going on that she is going to cave in and forget it all right now.We still have my birthday mid-next week you know...not to mention July 4th coming up also. Anyway...one thing at an time and cross your fingers everyone!

Syd...I have an whole little genealogy book on the Isle of Wright and the family lines of Myles Standish...piigrim to Massachestts. Hubby's maternal..side grandfather ... is an Miles.

I also have considerably about Devon also...though this was before datewise of seeing some hoof prints over there said to been the Devil's....someone posted it around Howlloween one year. Prank maybe? Hope so.

Anyway, this is summer here...would be nice if the weather isn't taking up so much of our conversations. Talk later on...

Marjorie....that's what is the matter in the world...good people are

indeed these days scarace....we need to work on that one.  All of

us.

You see, I am so upset over what I read tonight in an news report that here I am going to air it because it needs to be known....I speak of course the recent women's demonstration held in Cario, Egypt...that went amuck...and men started groping, tearing the garrments off women, and the males that came along to circle around them and help them ran into choas also...it was reported that they tore one woman's top off her until her blue bra was all she had left, they then proceeded to grope her.  walk on her chest and finally pull her down the street, dragging her by her arms..another gal fainted from the sexual harrasment they were doing to her. People should know this because they need to stay out of the area....for one's own protection.The men supposedly raped an female news reporter also....she left and swears she's never coming back....she could care less what in the world happens to Egypt now.

I guess it is they want these women to go home and stay...and the women want to join other women in the world...with personal rights and privledges...Both sides should think things over...(1) women do you really want to HAVE to support yourself in today's world...I doubt it....ask any divorced woman around raising her own kids how hard an life women have trying to be provider for the household...it's not easy going it alone....but then (2)...Men...why can you not understand that women sometimes are forced in this world of today to have to take care of themselves...and they need the rights and the privledges to do just that...rather then marriage to someone they might be forced into marrying.... out of necessity.

I am an "healer" and an lightworker...I use my hands. Because the healing energy of God comes through my hands. To use my hands in disrespect...is wrong doing. I have often said...even amoung the little kids...keep your hands to yourself....just that. Sticks and stones may break my bones...but words will never hurt me...you have to use your hands for violent acts...keep your hands to yourself. Stop defiling them, and yourself.. through what you use them for.

Now last Christmas, I had an young lady come to my house...and her boyfriend...an cousin to my grandkids came because I had asked him...he has helped me many times...and never asked to be paid for it...so I gave him his own Pillow...with survival things stuffed inside it...from matches to light an fire, to instant oatmeal to eat, to warm gloves and an hat, and small rain poncho, and small wraparound blanket, clean socks, knife, silverware, metal cup, plastic baggies for things...just all kinds of things, and some of it was humorus also...such as an little tiny stufffed teddy bear to sleep with...and candles.  He brought his pretty little girlfreind with him. She delighted in all the things I had stuffed into the pillow.Her name was "Cairo"...she reminded me an lot of Neffertiti...or pictures I had seen of her. We were talking about craft work, when he said, I bet your good at it...you have anything for us both?....so I looked around...thinking of Egypt at the time...and I found an candle decorated with pearls...gold pearls on white...and so it was I put it on an base of rocks....and on the rocks I had some golden words I had bought for another craft project...the words were Love, peace, and happiness....and I put them randomly on the small rocks and placed them on top of some evergreen firs and with the candle in the center. I told "Cairo" to light the candle and think of me and my wish for her to have these things daily in her life...and she said she would remember that...and seemed so pleased to receive such an simple and elegant gift. You see...it' s how you use your hands that makes all the difference in the world. Use them wisely and kindly or keep them to yourself. People applauded Egypt for being able to make an world change without revolution...now they have shamed themselves by their actions. They have caused "fear" amoung women...not respect. I guess enough has been said...these women can not hide out in the world as most of us can't these days...it's gotten to small from all the world issues we deal with daily...talk, yes, but stop hurting your own mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives...with improperly used authority. I go now and try to get what i read out of my mind.
