Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good morning, Pond Scum.  Sounds as if everyone is doing well today.  Welcome home, Friday.

Good morning Sour!

I want to say 2'.

Okay, just say it.

Good morning Sour!

Good morning, Oz.


Last night the group was gathered in our bedroom for the dispersal of presents - it's the biggest room in our little house, and we put up the tree there. We are chattering away, poking fun and laughing as the Princess plays 'mistress of ceremonies' handing out the presents. When a girl friend of our grand daughter (she is from California, parents divorced, semi estranged from her parents) starts gently sobbing. She had been invited to spend the holidays with my daughter's family because she did not want to go 'home'. We started comforting her, and she said, "I'm okay. You all are just showing me what a family should be like." This really touched me as both the Princess and I grew up in dysfunctional homes. Not saying that we are 'functional', but everyone here knows that they belong and are loved. Hold your loved ones close and never miss an opportunity to let them know that they matter. When they all left she hugged the Princess and me she said, "You have no idea how much this has meant to me."

Amen! You never know when, how, and to whom you may have the chance to minister to in life.

Many times during my lifetime when I was in need the proper person appeared to point me in the right direction; hence, the second of my signature lines. I do think that we helped return that favor last night.

That would be a nice kind of coop to have! You might need more then one though if they are planning on making you a big bator.

S0 true! I have some funny stories from my LE career. Once while shopping with my wife a young lady walked up to me and asked if I remembered her. Her face was familiar but I couldn't recall her name. She told me her named and then said.."you remember, you put my brother in prison!" I took two steps back and prepared myself. She then went onto thank me as the experience had turned her brother's life around. I think he was back home and doing great.

Can I get you to come arrest my step-son?
