~~*DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE A PAPER DOLLY SOMETIMES?~~*

me as paper dolls! LOL
Since I don't have my new camera set-up online yet, these will do!!! LOL These are Somerset Studio Rejects! Shame on those gals! I thought for sure these would make it! Instead of a list of things I have gotten published in, I could have a list of things on my sidebar that didn't make it!!! LOL
O well, we have more important things to worry about now if YOU ask me although I'll probably try again to get published some day but not soon! It is a thrill! I think I've been in there 2 times.
I've been busy looking at a place mom was considering moving to in the spring called "Harmony Valley" but it would be a very BIG step for them! YOU would have to downsize very, very much! The thing that turned mom off was the little refrigerator! LOL She said it didn't make ice cubes like hers instantly! She said she was spoiled! Dad doesn't walk very good now and where they live now, it is a 32 acre deal, too, too much for 80 year olds!!!(Mom is 78, Dad is 83) I've told her we should both sale our places and move into a house together.
Murders, sickness, deaths, flooding, hunger, war, Health Care reform,wild fires, EarthQuakes, Tsunamis, it becomes too much sometimes!
I've also been busy getting those dreaded winter clothes ready!!! It's turned cold here already!!! Where's Indian Summer???!!! I hope we have some more beautiful sunny days to go up in the mountains to see the trees changing colors!!! Hopefully, I'll get my camera ready in time! Mom and dad want to go up to "Cool Springs" to get some buckwheat pancakes!!! mmmmMMMMM!
I do feel like a paper doll sometimes! Don't YOU?!!!
Here's some more pretty Psalms
Psalm 104
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty: 2, Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; 3, Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
Isn't that pretty?!!! HOW ARE YOU???!!! xoxoxoxooxox

~~~~****ZAPPED***~~~~

THAT'S IT
THAT'S WHY I FEEL
SOOooOooOOoooooOO ZAPPED
I FEEL LIKE
THAT LAST BLOOM,
THAT LAST LEAF HANGING ON,
SPRING AND SUMMER
DIED
AND I HAVE TOO,
A LITTLE
CRO


PSALM 105
O Give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the people. 2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in his holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 4 Seek the Lord, and his strength; seek his face evermore.

as ZAPPED as I feel, tomorrow morning I will sing some psalms to the LORD! Will YOU join me???!!! HOPE so!!!

SWEET DREAMS SWEETIES!!! XOXOXOXOOXOOXOXOXOXOXOOOX

~~WHITE TAILS ON A SUNNY DAY IN SEPTEMBER~~

these pics were taken a day or two before Labor Day.......I LOVE to see the deer's white tails! This was taken through my sheer kitchen curtains........ I was going to show my new curtains I made last year but my camera is a goner! Now, I have to figure out my new camera my daughter, Gina got me 3 years or more ago!!! Phew
I stepped outside and they didn't seem to mind.........

another pic through the curtains


I thought they were going to fight




I kept seeing these 2 gents every 2 weeks for a while and now I haven't seen them, maybe they are getting ready to hide from all the hunters who will be hunting them soon. They have almost lost all their orange color and are turning brown soOOOOOooO GOOD LUCK Bucky and Rudy! Wish me luck on figuring out my camera and getting pics back on my pc! Until then, I'll be going thru my old pic files soOOOo I'll still be here for a while. Take care of yourselves and the ones YOU love! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
