LEAVING ON AN AMTRAK

There he goes...to North Dakota.

I just could not resist taking more pictures of my roses.

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

I SURE DIDNT UNTIL NOW

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this.....

Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women
who mocked God:

John Lennon (Singer):

Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:

"Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."

He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
"Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends
and she said to the daughter holding her hand,
who was already seated in the car:

"My Daughter, Go With God And

May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here..... It's Already Full"

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)

Said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.

Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

OUR ROCK STAR

I took Grace in and had her haircut.

A FUNNY FUNERAL

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral.
A huge heart covered in flowers stood behindthe casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside.
The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry,
I was just thinking of my own funeral........I'm a gynecologist."
The proctologist fainted.

Little Bob and his "Hammer"

Yesterday I found the arch that we used in our wedding.

I put it together and attached my climbing roses to it.

I think it looks great.
I took more shots of our flowers and shrubs.
This is an orange/red rose.
These are the pansies that Grace planted.

We sold our blue van and Dave found this pickup at a garage sale. He is such a happy camper.

Dave's Iris bloomed today. Breathtaking.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you.

Hope this day is a blessing to remember.

Now to the best Mother of All.....

I Love you very much.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Gabby was a good helper too.
We were the only ones who could help. All our other girls had prior

commitments. It worked out well anyway.

Subject: How Big is Walmart

Interesting statistics on just how big Wal Mart actually is.
1. Have you been to a Wal Mart this week?
2. How many times do you go to your local Wal Mart?

3. How far do you live from your local Wal mart?
4. Do you like shopping at Wal Mart?
5. Did you know Wal Mart offers tax exempt purchasing to all Active Duty military members? (Tell your kid or grandchild about this)


HOW BIG IS IT:
I was blown away by these mind-boggling statistics on Wal-Mart!

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
