Perhaps I'll Win Again

Doris Day sang this song and I never heard it before but I liked it.
In fact I like most of what they did in those days.
Women were true women unafraid to show it
The beauty and power of a woman should never be underestimated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick witted, I knew the score with you
You never laid your true hand out, for the show
You only showed, what you wanted them to see
You played the game, I knew you'd play with me.

I laid my cards out, without a thought of fear.
I showed my innards, to the man I loved.
Quick witted, I knew the score with you
You were entrapped and too dumb to know

And once the snare was set,
You kept on playing , thinking I'd relent
You were there to win a game
That was not there, to win

You only showed, what you wanted me to see
You played a game but it was not to be
The snare was set, before it all began
You were lost, before you played your hand.

The game, was not a game of chance
I was the winner, when I caught your glance
So discreet and yet, it was there for me to see
The true hand, you would play with me.

And so, I led you on so cool and mentally sound
I led you , to the final hunting ground
And you were fine until you were ensnared
For the true hunter, to let you loose and free .

But once composure, settled in your heart
You ventured forth, without your deck of cards,
Became the true lad, you were meant to be
The true man, for a girl like me.

The true line, I was there to hear
I love you,
Would not be written in the sand.
No wave would wash away this love.
No hidden calling Loon , to distract your heart.

Perhaps today, I'll rescue you, from your dire self
Perhaps today, is the last game you'll play
Perhaps today, you'll play your hand too well.
Perhaps today, at last, you'll take your players' hand
Perhaps today I'll lose, to win your heart
I won it once, I'll win it again.

2011 we lost a cat and a dog to old age.
Tatty was close to 18 and Nugget was 15.
Now we still have Precious who my son found down town and brought home
She stayed in the bathroom 5 days before any one noticed she was there lol
She was a tiny thing.
She grew up in Tatty's shadow and loved him so much.
If ever there was another cat near her she would scream blue murder and Tatty would come running to her rescue. He was her hero.

Well Tatty is gone and she has only herself to depend on now.
She was always a timid cat and never listened to anything anyone said to her... till today.
Now when she wants to eat she meows at the front door to be let in and meows to be let out.
When its cold she comes to the back door to scratch on it like Tatty did and then the back window.
When I wave to her to go to the front door, it took her a while but she figured it out and runs back to the front door to be let in.
Amazing.
When one has to, even old dogs can learn new tricks.

A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river.

The drunk walks into the water and bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze.

Whereupon he asks the drunk, 'Are you ready to find Jesus?'
'Yes I am' replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the river.

He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother have you found Jesus?'

The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't.'

The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and
asks again, 'Have you found Jesus, my brother?'
The drunk again answers, 'No, I have not found Jesus.'

By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30
seconds.

When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up.

The preacher asks the drunk again, ‘For the love of God, have you found Jesus?’

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,
'Are you sure this is where he fell in?’

He'll Be Commin Round the Mountain

He'll Be Comin Round
The Mountain
When he comes

ENJOY!

Game of Cards

The song was originally done by Tex Ritter in 1948. The most popular version was recorded by Wink Martindale.




Story
"The Cards" is set during World War II, where a group of Army soldiers, on a long hike during a campaign in southern Italy, had arrived and camped near a town named Cassino. While Scripture is being read, one boy who has only a deck of playing cards, pulls them out and spreads them in front of him. He is immediately spotted by a sergeant, who orders the soldier to put them away (thinking he's playing cards in church). The soldier is then arrested and taken before the Provost Marshal to be punished.

The Provost Marshal demands an explanation, to which the soldier explains the significance of each card

Ace: The one true God
Deuce: The Old Testament and New Testament in the Bible
Trey/Three: The Holy Trinity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost
Four: St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. John, evangelists and authors of the four Gospels
Five: The two groups of five virgins who trimmed their lamps for a wedding. Five were wise (by saving enough oil) and were admitted, while the other five were foolish (did not have enough oil) and were shut out.
Six: God creates the Earth in six days.
Seven: God rests on the seventh day, now known as the Sabbath.
Eight: The eight righteous people whom God saved during the Great Flood: Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives.
Nine: Of the ten lepers whom Jesus cleansed, nine of them didn't even thank him.
Ten: The Ten Commandments God handed down to Moses.
King: Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, or alternatively, God the Father.
Queen: Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Queen of Heaven.
Jack or Knaves: Satan or the Devil

Silver Rain Drop

These are two little wooden dolls from Korea and
Cards. The dolls have a satisfied look to them.:)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Silver raindrops beat at my window asking
To come in before they froze
I watched them turn into white teardrops
reflective of my soul
Memory is a priceless thing and
If I were to ask
I'd ask God if I could keep it because
It's worth so much

We walked through life together
Fearing not a soul
The days were never lonely because
We had each self to hold
The songs were always singing and
We heard them far and wide
And they are stored in memory
Along with all our love

Silver raindrops beat my window
Reflective of my soul
They turned into white tear drops
Crystallized and stored
All the hopes and dreams
Man could ever want
Are found in a memory
Of a little drop.

There was this Spanish guy, this Korean guy and this Russian guy all working for the same construction company. At the beginning of the day the boss comes out and says to the Spanish guy, "You're in charge of the cement."

Then he said to the Russian guy, "You're in charge of the dirt."

Then he said to the Korean guy, "You're in charge of the supplies."

Then he said, "I'm gonna be back at the end of the day to check on your work. It better be good or you're fired."

So they all go off to go get their work done.

At the end of the day, the boss comes back to check on their work. He looks at the big pile of cement and goes, "Good work," to the Spanish guy. Then he looks at the big pile of dirt and says, "Good work," to the Russian guy. Then he couldn't find the Korean guy so he asks, "Where the heck is the Korean guy??"

All of a sudden, the Korean guy jumps out from behind the big pile of dirt and yells, " SUPPLIES!"

A doctor answers his phone and hears the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line.

"We need a fourth for poker," said the friend. "I'll be right over," whispered the doctor. As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?" "Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely. "In fact, there are three doctors there already!"

While visiting a country school, the chairman of the Board Of Education became provoked at the noise the unruly students were making in the next room.

Angrily, he opened the door and grabbed one of the taller boys who seemed to be doing most of the talking. He dragged the boy to the next room and stood him in the corner.

A few minutes later, a small boy stuck his head in the room and pleaded, "Please, sir, may we have our teacher back?"
===========================

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Many people were running in BC to pharmacies to get iodine but they were told that we would not be affected as most of the radiation would dissipate in the ocean before it gets here. People may ingest cesium-137 with food and water, or may inhale it as dust. It is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the body’s soft tissues. Exposure may also be external (that is, exposure to its gamma radiation from outside the body).


The effects of radiation would be vomitting, skin burns,and various cancers of the liver etc...

The Light of Life

gericault derby at epsom


I send you the light of life
Disguised as a candle
I send you a stone
Smoothed of rough edges
I give you a foundation
To build your home
I warn against deception
To further Peace.

In return,
Do not toss me to and fro
Do not throw me to the wind
Do not ambush the love, the faith
Nor the belief in me
Do not dim the light.

A Lady's Life.
The light symbolizes God and the Holy Spirit and Life
The Stone = character, chipped of rough edges
Foundation = laws to live by
Deception speaks for itself -means false prophets promoting hate and pain.


Haiku?

Sacred friendship
Ring of fire
Dented, scarred, alive.

==================

Yesterday I watched a movie where a killer tried to explain the insignificance of man.
He said if you look at an atom it is soo small you can see through it and yet it is soo powerful that if you split it it explodes with such ferocity.
In essence, man, as well as everything we see and touch including the floors, is see through and basically does not exist and yet, together with the reflection of light, we see and we can touch.
So in essence if we do not exist then self destruction is not possible and this he made as an excuse for using nuclear power against people.

It is fascinating how man can misinterpret things.
God says he gave us life to live and the 7 senses to enjoy living with.

So whether we exist per se, is irrelevant.

A miracle happened. A miracle Angels would love to share but can't and even in death, these atoms do not explode but if they are nuclear and powerful, they will continue to live
basically forever with all we know about radiation.

It is amazing that we fear radiation and yet it lives within us, a magical force both hot and cold, both powerful and at rest, peaceful and beautiful.

Something to think about.

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below says: "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."

"You must be an engineer" says the balloonist.

"I am" replies the man. "How did you know."

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of

your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

The man below says "You must be a manager."

"I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
====================================

True friends are like Diamonds... they are real and rare. False friends are like leaves... they are scattered everywhere.

====================================

A ring is round and has no end.... and that's how long I'll be your friend.
=================================================

Lets make it a day of friendships.
Enjoy.

Entranced - I Can't Sleep

I heard you call
Like an echo in the wind
I heard my name
Like a whisper on a breath
So warm and breezy
Caressing curls in my hair
I felt you

I heard you cry
So deep in sleep
I saw your dream
Our noses touched
I heard my name
I saw the tear

And you were mine
So warm, our cheeks caressed
A whisper on a breath
An echo in the wind
I heard you call
Entranced, I came running
To keep you safe
So you could sleep.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

New Years Fortune?

Lady of the Light

(click to enlarge)

This is a little piece I did in chalk, I happen to enjoy.
I love old stories and this one is about a fortune teller
who tells young people their fortunes on New Years Eve.
This woman has an air of mystery about her as she smiles with a lit candle,
surrounded by snow flakes. Look into her eyes.

Will I be happy?
Will I be rich?
Will I marry?
Will I travel?
What is my destiny?

Ask the Lady and she will disclose to you, your fortune, through either her crystal ball or cards, which never lie.

May good fortune happiness and joy come your way, as we come closer to the New Year!

:)
