You should see my landscape from two weeks ago,,,three badly burnt azleas...one crisp brown, dogwood tree...about 20 feet high, hanging with leaves burnt on the edges...Hydreanga...burnt leaves, flowers looking droopy in my pots..losing some of them also..they were in the shade all day pretty much. Neighobr's hydrangeas she had to cut down for beiing burnt...she just bought them also..she's hoping they survive...other neighbor lost three small evergreen bushes.  This stupid high temperatures..to cold can stop and stabilize any day now...I don't live in the middle-east and I don't live in Alaska either. So I know how the other parts of the world feel about the weather.

I never know what I'm going to run into, but last night was an goodie.Coasttocoastam.com can fill you in on the entire story on their home page about this North Carolina lady that found  a couple of pyramid complexs using "goggle earth" Scientist's scoffed at her story and then found out it might be true...and there's more to the story you can read over there. An couple over in Egypt that collects old maps and historical documents have more then 34 maps showing what this lady claims in being buried "pyramids."  One of their documents was"Al-Sharif Alldrissa's" map of the earth drawn for King Roger II of Sicily in 1154....here's some additional information I've found out about what's been said by others...

Remember our ancient sea shell story on the blue/purple dye colors in the Bible I wrote sometime back..."Even the rocks used in Pyramids contained up to 40 per cent Seashells"..in reference to these pyramids in the past being attempted in excavation..without success by others..so they left them untouched basically...the sand mounted up around them an obscured them for the most part.

Roger II  of Scily legacy included lands given to him by Godfrey Bullion...ruler of Jersusalem at one time and the beginner of the "Templar Knight's" and first leader of the Crusades. He was the second son of Eustace II, Counto f Boulogne-sur-mur in FRance and Oda of Lorraine(dau. of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Loraine and his wife "Doda"

Up until now I was thinking perhaps our Rev. Doedate Lawson, son of Rev. Thomas Lawson..whom helped to build Caterbury Cathederal in England..was named after St. Dororthea...perhaps not. Also remember our Giles Rogers as you read about all these people.  I say that because in the first Crusade, Raymond IV of Toulouse, also sometimes called Raymond  of St. Giles was another key leader along with Godfrey Bullion  His second wife was the daughter of Roger I of Sicily..his thired wife was the illigetimate daughter of KingAlfonso of Castile, the Sapnish King who campaigned furiously against the Moors.  Remember King Edward of England married Eleanor of Castile..who took her Moors with her into England.. These all are by the way...Wikipedia on-line histories. The role of Godfrey's in the Crusades connects to the ledgend of the "knight of the Swan" or that of King authur's :Longrein knight...which I wrote about before in reference to the blue dye and Hyrim Abbiff and the Templar Knights.perviously. This King Roger of Scily and the Hauteville family and the Lords of Bullion..have an ancestor named "Tancred"..and ties him into the Viking conquest of Normany by "Rollo" kin to William the Conquorer. So far I have these people in GErmany, France, Belgium, Flanders, England, and jersualem beside Sciliy. Count Roger of Calabria and Sciliy with his borther Robert Guiscard...could he have been the beginnings of the "Gist" kinship later on..also an Templar knight...for that matter of fact, could Northcumbia been named after these people and the Rogers whom married an  George Lawson there.I'..possibly brother to Sir John Lawson. I've been trying to find out for some time now who his Rogers family in-law's were..so far about the only thing I've found out was that they too had been an female Lawson line that married into the Rogers family prior. The best I've been able to find out aboutthese pyramids is that they may of been an " tin" metal ironworks at one time. They have detected tunnels underground headed northward toward the city of Alexandria.  Could the tin been used in the Crusader's protective outter wear? Wearing all pure  Iron would of been kind of heavy. Nor is it such an precious mental...such as Gold, it would be on the battlefield easily left behind perhaps. Right now, I know little about the wearing of an Knight's battle armor...I'll have to look that one up yet. So this man I gave you the history about accused of slaughtering little kids...was most likely an "torture" confession so they could kill him or I should say..like most Templars...burned at the stake.

I bought another refrigerator last night, but we have to go and pick it up tonight...so I have some things to do today concerning that..so talk to you later on. Jumping from article to article...I am wondering what they will find out on these Pyramids...they could be still intact from thousands of years ago.

I'm reading about Princess Kate...today was their supposedly second possible due date and everyone is asking...When?...I think when God gets done paying back the media for picking on Kate earlier by..making them sit out in your warm weather over there. I knew it....she should of done the thermometer thing on this baby..it's an better method on the conception time they claim. Of course Kate and William most likely would of thought it as " kinky sex" of some kind.It reminds me of when my dog was Preggie... when the neighbors dog was preggie...her dog's name then was "pete"...and I said...what you gonna name the dog now..she said "petie"..and smiled slightly..but because she was in training to be an Registed Nurse...she practice the thermometer thing on her pooch...I felt so sorry for the doggie. It was an Cocker Spaniel. Mine was an scotch terrier/poodle mix. Shewas the best dog I ever had...most loving, true and kind and well trained, and a mother dog herself. Her hubby was an pure-bred poodle of whom all puppies were royal yuppies in our kiddie neighborhood back then. My dad took one puppy, we kept the other one. Third one was sill born. I look at my cat, he needs to go on an diet...along with me.

We got our new refridgerator, I can't really get into the new and out of the old until the garabage man comes tomarrow. Plus I have two huge coolers downstairs..one in the tub, the other on the floor full of things from the other refrigerator that went out on us. I'm getting behind you know..and don' t care. I had such an terrific dream last night...been discussing that in earthboppin.net. I'm very scared of heights, and found myself struggling and hanging on an cliff with an bunch of guys..I made it Indianna Jones style..hanging on..but when they were congrandulating me and trying to tell me it really wasn't all that bad, I rolled up my fist and punched the ever looping smitherings out of the guy...and then woke up. So I was explaining that the experience to me comes from an past life experience of being shot to death by Hilter's forces and falling into an "pit' of half death. stench smelling bodies of others..some not yet dead and clamoring for air. My life ended when they bull-dozed dirt over all of us. It left me with deep emotional scars of the soul into this lifetime. We carry on from one lifetime to the next working these things out...so it was..shot in the stomach to fall into an deep pit that time...this time...Gall stones and three small incesions near my stomach..looked like gun shot holes. I don' t know the purpose to last night's dream exactly..other then I woke up from the dream..or else assended into death of the past life...maybe I punched the guy out...cause its what I would of done to the Nazi's had I been able to do so. They seem to think that is what it was all about..closing an issue from the past..my  moment of acension perhaps?...new age" stuff.

Anyway...the Queen is leaving for Scotland on Holiday here soon and hopes the baby arrives before she leaves on vacation. Baby's come when they want to just so we are so double glad it's all over with you know.  Blessing Kate....Blessing William..take care of your  new  little wee one...blessings to the baby also. .

Morning everyone, another scorching hot one. It's our last day away today, home tomorrow after 3 weeks and 2 days, can't wait, it's been a lovely holiday but it will be nice to be home. I dread to think what the flowers in the garden are going to look like.

Have a good day everyone - try to keep cool Smile
