More Postcard Fun!

Yesterday I received a special postcard. My co workers parents sent me a beautiful card of the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Since they are Japanese they wrote the card in their language and Koko interpreted for me. But at the end her parents signed Best Regards in English with their signatures. I was so tickled. Then I received a sweet Missouri card for Kim at the Patch and a Kentucky card from Linda at A La Carte. My BIL who is trying to move to back to Alaska sent me a postcard a week from Alaska. I think Alaska is going to beat California and Texas now! Sweet Beryl in Alabama noticed one of my favorite books is "To Kill A Mockingbird" so she is going to try to send a card or two from the museum courthouse. Harper Lee's hometown is 20 minutes from Beryl. My friend Lyn has a bunch of postcards for me and I have been trying to get together with her. Perhaps once my sinus crude goes far away from me I can sit down and chat with her over lunch and collect my postcards. She has some very generous friends. Thanks for everyone who is so generous with their time and cards. I do appreciate all of you. Now let's get busy and find New Hampshire, Kansas, Montana and Illinois along with Idaho! These postcard images are courtesy of the internet.

I have added some goodies to my Colorado giveaway box! C'mon. Someone out there wants to win! I will be showing off my pretty collection soon so let's wind this giveaway/exchange down before the first frost!

Thank you again to every single person who contributed a card or two! You are entered in giveaway and some one has to win!

INDIGO COLORS

I am glad to welcome you to tonight's Indigo post for Rainbow Summer School, an edition to Mrs. Matlock's Alphabe Thursday! I was at a loss for what to do and decided to show you some internet images of the color indigo so here goes:

My sinus infection has turned into a cold in my shoulder and left side. I am truly miserable so my creative genius is not working tonight. I think I need some ultra sound treatments so I will see my chiropractor next Wedesday. Dr. Freuden has been a real gem for my hubby and I for the past 27 years! He was the only doctor that trusted my instincts and sent me to other medical doctors when I was suffering pre shunt 26 years ago! He is a classic guy and really gives special care to his patients. I had hoped to see him this Friday as I am off but he is booked solid until late afternoon and Nick has a cross country meet so I can not miss that! I will see the good doctor a week from today. Wish me well!

Now hop over to Mrs. Matlock's at http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/ and then check out all the other Indigo posts today.

Brandi Carlile - The Story

Prairie Dog Days

Welcome to Tuesday's Show and Tail! It will be Wedesday for some of you by the time I post this! I need to get better organizational skills. The ones i had before I had kids! Smile!

Visit Angela and find her button for Show and Tail on my right sidebar.

I love prairie dogs. I know they are a menace to farmers and ranchers. I know they carry the plague. In fact in Boulder, Colorado this week a woman saw several of these little critters dead around her property. She called the authorities and they found the plague! Yikes!

But these furry little critters are very sweet and cute and they are getting snuffed out. There is no where for them to go and they are such intricate little builders. They live in underground cities and they are interesting little furry animals.

When my middle daughter and her old beau worked for the non defunct Sonic at Grant and 104th Avenue  they use to toss old tater tots to the little fellas after work at night! They looked so happy because they are vegetarians you know! But they are wary creatures and they keep their cities safe from the enemy, humans!

I just had to talk about them tonight. I love the little prairie dog critters!

When our oldest daughter was in the 3rd grade she attended a school who's mascot was a gopher! We all had the school t shirt which was light yellow with a blue gopher on the front! One night my hubby picked me up from my 4 to midnight shift at the hospital emergency room and a drunk hassled him calling him a kook cause of that shirt! I remember my hubby said "Its a mascot buddy for my daughters school!" Nonetheless I have a soft spot for those furry friends, and am sharing a few internet images here for you. Goodnight!

LOVE IS....

I am late for an important date! I meant to post my Love is...last night and here it is today! Blame it on my super strength anti-biotic and pressure filed sinus headache! Yet the hubby still loves me and is always there to care for me!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Today is the date of my parents wedding anniversary. They were married this date in 1935. My mothers brother Louie and her younger sister Ann were their attendants. My mother had an eighteen inch waist! Look at those lovely calla lily flowers in her bouquet. I had wonderful parents. This picture is framed and hangs in our bedroom with a collage of phamily wedding photos. I am sorry the quality does not shine but it is framed and I would not take that photo apart for anything! I miss my folks as they were wonderful examples of true Christian love. But I do store lots of memories here.

My oldest daughter had wanted to be married on this date and the hall she rented was already taken so she moved her wedding to August 27th. She wanted my mom in attendance and her grandma Rita too so she chose to move her wedding to Pueblo. The Marriott Hotel and Convention Center has 163 rooms and for my daughters wedding we rented 73 rooms and they were all filled with phamily and friends. It was a beautiful wedding and that was ten years ago on Aug. 27th. I am very proud of Noelle and Roger. They have really managed to stay happy and enjoy their phamily. They went to dinner at a Hawaiian steak house on Friday night. If anyone can find a unique eatery it is my girl! She has had a love of good food since she was a small child. So happy  anniversary to my loved ones today.

MY PRAYER

Dear Lord I am praying today for the hurting in this world. Many do not know how to reach out to you. Please give them the tools to come to you and allow the Holy Spirit to touch their hearts and their minds in Christ Jesus name Amen.
