Good Day "39"

Then there's 60 minutes and Micheal Jackson, who is now worth more since he died then he was when he was alive. He has made in the last three years 400 million dollars with an new Las Vegas show opening this week. She was saying that it seems people have forgiven him his sins in his life. His manager of his money..says...he had talent...they loved his music...that's what they want to remember. Kind of like Elvis Presely also perhaps...or any other star favorite of his day. 

I have taken down as many glass knick knacks as I could, but I have not duct taped things shut as of yet. This does not include mirrors, lamps, nor TV sets so far either. So I hope we don't have an earthquake this week...my son leaves tonight and isn't back until next weekend. Things are rolling right along for school to finish here soon with the grandkids also. My prescriptions should be coming in here soon also...they were already mailed out. I will be watching for any signs of unusal things...like my neighbors just now sending over an plate of cookies because their dog got loose...and I took it in and gave it some cooked chicken breast and milk and had just gotten it out of having an bath when they came over knocking on my door...to get thier dog back. naturally wet...he left telling me "Thank you". But as I've said...kids to critters....I've tried to help them in need i fI could. So they just left me with an plate of peanut butter cookies. Which is what I did to the neighbor boy one year for helping me string up Christmas lights in our yard one year. carry in the groceries for an dinner also. That use to be the way the kids earned an few extra dollars growing up...but many of them make more money then I ever did at times...these days. I am still in the UK history....an George Plangenet. Still things I don't know..for instance...how old were theywhen they could be "knighted" by the queen? George I am looking for was "knighted" in 1398. The George Plantagent I have information on has an date of 1449 to 1478...to old to been knighted in 1398...or teh same person. The one I have an legacy on says he fled to France, during the War of Roses...and was already in hiding  by way of an church...and good freinds. I am also looking for an Thomas...I believe was an preacher or had something to do with "Lewes Priory"...the above older was somehow into that family...andI am wondering if the guy I'm looking for is hiding under the name of Thomas Brotheron, Earl of Norfolk maybe. What I am looking for also is someone of ths name that was an protestant...and an templar knight...with connections to Scoltland/Ireland...that later intorduced the family here state side to the Baptist faith...so they HAD to been Rogers family assoicated. There is an Brotherton Castle in Scotland, county Kincairdineshire...but it is now an school. There were no pictures of it as yet for me to look at. Cluny Abbey, in FRance was tied to Lewes Priory in it's building....but the place in France is whom founded the Bendictine order" and later given to the Pope to take care of. The "Pope" persecuted the "Templars" around 1300 or so. In both my family's I've looked into so far...there is mention of the Mowbray family and an Mortimere family.The above George waswas said born in Dublin Castle..1449...he was the third son of Richard Planagent and brother to Edward IV and Richard III. His entire family was more or less put to death by the crown at sometime or another.Mostly in the Tower of London. I know this family had an Thomas...and an younger Thomas....the older one very little information given on him...he might be the Thomas Brotherton atsometime...adopting the name as an clergyman. There was also an few episodes mention at Lewes Priory in chasing away suspected "witchcraft" also in thier history. I suppose all in good time...but it much figures into Giles Rogers family also in ways....and the fellaI mentioned here an bit back..Gilles de Rais (Montemorecy-laval) of Jargeau, France. "Monte" in France is an title given to one's postion of an landowner over there. Are they saying he had ties or was an another " De Molay" family...that took the name of Maury...Murray in Scotland?. It would make much sense to me right now. Also his torture and black magic the church made him confest to for  his execution. More to this family...but will leave it for now. My guessis also he may of been arabic/muslim at sometime also..if so..could he have been part of Queen Eleanor's "Moors" of that relgious groupfrom Castille, Spain more so then France. Such an mystery!

Good morning to all--another nice day in prospect enjoy it.

Hows your back Peggy??

Hi there everyone!  Hope you all have a good week!

Gorgeous shots of that heather filled countryside Peggy!! 

I love Heather !!!

Hope this finds you all well and all..

Where's your latest pictures Peggy....you have an enormous amount of them...have you ever thought of doing an "sister city" snapshot series?...... Between England and other countries. I know of upteen towns in New England that got their name from England...two of them would be Reading and Ipswitch, Massachusetts. There are though many many more.

I am geared up for anything to happen....though it appears I need an different area rug at the moment...and some duct tape.

Good morning Richard....so you like Heather...so do I...she has my middle name. An gift from her mom for babysitting her sister and brother while she was in the hospital delivering Heather....we were at one time neigbors to each other growing up.

I watched the Billboards music show...and I think Prince is indeed an Icon of his making...but the gals...my gosh since when did the gals start rubbing up their croutches in an "come get me, I'm ready for yamove"...there was one that displayed an move making her look likeshe was having sex on air also...I don't really like it...shocking as it is...somethings need to stay in the bedroom...privately. An sadday when girls have to act as prostestutes rather then musical artists. My dad use to say that the guys with the pants (crouches) down to their knees looked like babies with an diaper full of "doo-doo" also. Have not the times changed...and I can remember when "Madonna" was considered "outrageous".

An little 3 year old girl was bitten yesterday over in Vancouver by an Pit Bull....it lodged straight in her face, biting into both sides of her cheeks. The guy came to their rescue, said the mother was covered in blood as well as the child...she under went surgery most of yesterday and is in good condition...but her mother said in pain and crying and wondering what she did wrong. Mother wants the dog put down. It an dthe little girl should of been watched an bit better to have prevented this happening in the first place. I have an "Prayer circle"going right now to assist her complete healing as the mother said she may be scarred for life last night...we hope she makes an complete recovery from the ordeal..both physically and mentally. As to the dog...maybe it should at the very least be given to someone that knows how to handle it...but once biting someone...maybe it would be better "put down" also. I pray for it's life in making an mistake. Bad tornadoes through mid-west...they are out picking up the pieces now. One dead..6 injured. I think I'd be building somein-ground tornado shelters in that area....and maybe in ground housing also from the looks of things. Have an good day everyone...new week starts again! Finals to DWTS tonight.
