* my beloved father-in-law has fought to stay "as long as she needs me" referring to his precious wife. He has overcome a tired heart many times over the past 5 years; however, it appears this time--"im not going to make it"-...he told my sister-in law yesterday morning.*

Sing God a simple song
Lauda, Laude . . .
Make it up as you go along
Lauda, Laude . . .
Sing like you like to sing
God loves all simple things
For God is the simplest of all.

I will sing the Lord a new song
To praise, to bless, to bless the Lord.
I will sing God praises while I live
All of my days.

Blessed are they who love the Lord,
Blessed are they who praise God
Lauda, Lauda, Laude . . .
And walk in God’s ways.

I will lift up my eyes
To the hills from whence comes my help
I will lift up my voice to the Lord
Singing Lauda, Laude.

For the Lord is my shade,
Is the shade upon my right hand
And the sun shall not smite me by day
Nor the moon by night . . .
Blessed are they who love the Lord,

Lauda, Lauda, Laude
And walk in God’s ways.

H A P P Y S T P A T R I C K S DAY ((( Flickr Friends}}}, originally uploaded by majamom.

A Wish for a Friend
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

some improvement from the excellent chiropractor the universe and its amazing timing led us too. (my chiro was out ill and his chiro was out of town)
I feel concerned as I have never seen Papa in this kind of pain for this prolonged period of time.
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming
love you

well its about time! so good to see you again!!, originally uploaded by majamom.

we are guessing this is one of cheeky beeks young ones. This little guy is quite brave and thinks nothing of scurrying up to the feeding area and scaring away all of the birds.
Not one humming Bird seen today. Perhaps it is just too early yet for their long stay.
