A gift to you . . .



When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe

I always say - tie a knot and hang on!

Hey Sandie!

I wish I could sing like Sandi Patty! I love this song and a few others of hers.

I miss Bugs Bunny and my old cartoons I grew up watching. Wish they would show them every once in a while.

Hope you are having a Great Day! It is 101 degrees out side on my front porch right now and it is almost 6 o'clock! I can't stand this type of heat!
