    That picture is hauntingly beautiful and perfect for the song you quoted.

      We sang that song in church on Sunday and that one phrase really jumped out at me. I've been humming it all week. Loved the photo...so glad I found it! I thought it was perfect, too! It had to be beautiful but not cheery. The droopy daffodils still looked cheery to me. ha.

    With a feeling that is poopy
    As in not feeling so hot
    In its plot
    Have a good friday on good friday
    That is fun to say
    But they are going all PC
    And soon good friday it won't be called anymore at your see

      Oh, I had not heard that yet
      but I wouldn't doubt it one bit.
      They don't want Christ in Christmas, you know,
      So why should it be left in Easter? So it goes!
      Can't offend the non-Christians
      so Spring Day is better by a zillion.
      Good grief. lol....
      Whoever thought of that
      should get run over like your Easter Bunny that went splat.
      hahaha.

      Glory Dear may have a fit
      She did not like it haha

      Yes, she was quite upset
      seeing him smooshed flat.
      A very realistic shot, too
      and you should use it again, it's true.
      Most readers are newer than that
      and that would knock them flat.
      haha.

      oh good for them!

      not much news. started a new treatment. kinda waiting to see what my own eyes tell me when I get there. sometimes seeing for ones self is better than hearing things second hand. hoping its not quite what my imagination tells me :(

      Thanks! I'm sure we will enjoy seeing them again! The kids are beyond excited to see cousin that are their age! For the boys the cousins around here closest to their age are quite a bit younger than they are.
