Good Morning!
Today’s header photo is from me.
Some of the photos I received will not load properly into the header. Something to do with pixel count. I’m too much of an amateur to figure it out properly. But they are lovely none the less. And I have figured out how to load them correctly on the page though. 🙂
This one makes me think of Spring, when all is new again. 🙂 It’s from Phos/Roscuro
On this day in 1807 former Vice President Aaron Burr was arrested in Alabama. He was later tried and acquitted on charges of treason.
In 1846 the formal transfer of government between Texas and the United States took place.
In 1878 Thomas Alva Edison patented a music player (the phonograph).
In 1942 President Roosevelt signed an executive order giving the military the authority to relocate and intern Japanese-Americans.
In 1942 the New York Yankees announced that they would admit 5,000 uniformed servicemen free to each of their home ball games during the coming season.
In 1945, during World War II, about 30,000 U.S. Marines landed on Iwo Jima.
And in 2003, in West Warwick, RI, 99 people were killed when fire destroyed the nightclub The Station. The fire started with sparks from a pyrotechnic display being used by Great White. Ty Longley, guitarist for Great White, was one of the victims in the fire.

I awakened at 5:00, after going to bed at midnight. But, I’m in the middle of a good book and have been enjoying the quiet calm of a sleeping family. Becca came down a few minutes ago, but is now happily playing with her American Girl Dolls in her room. She made parallel bars for her dolls out of PVC pipe last weekend (thanks to a video on YouTube) and has been playing with them ever since. On the AG website, the bars cost $120.00. She spent $5.00 on the pipe and had fun making them–much better!!! I like AG dolls, but their prices are exorbitant. We’ve found lots of accessories for AG dolls on EBay, for much better prices.
Nothing on the calendar today, other than school, which is nice for a change.

I used to call American Girl once a month for their specials. My Baby Girl had several outfits that matched her Bitty Baby or her other American Girl Doll. We still have Bitty Baby and another baby doll===Olivia. The other dolls we gave away. It was so much fun.
Yesterday ex-sister-in-law did my hair. We were talking about Baby Girl and how neat and organized she keeps her drawers. SIL laughed and said her father was like that right down to how the socks had to be rolled together to make a smiley face. Isn’t it funny the little things we inherit from our family that we don’t even realize?

Interesting conversation on “turning the other cheek”. In a society that promoted being right handed, to slap someone on the right cheek would have been more of an insult becasue it is how you would have slapped a slave–back handed. By Jesus telling the people to “turn the other cheek” He was having them say, “OK, if you are going to slap me you are going to do it as an equal”. Thoughts?

The Real, it may be something to do with the camera – the family camera isn’t the highest tech and the pixel count is pretty low.
I took that picture a few years ago to send to my grandmother. My father brought clippings of the rose bush from his family homestead in Nova Scotia. This particular bush grows in the flower garden in front of my parent’s house. The roses bloom throughout the summer and they have the sweetest smell. One summer, a salesman with a strong European accent came to the house. He was selling frozen fish, but when he saw the roses, he forgot about selling anything and begged for one to take with him. So, we didn’t get any fish but he got a rose.

Both photos are beautiful. The snowy one looks more familiar. But our snow is starting to melt! With 50 degrees predicted tomorrow we may lose a fair amount. (But we have a robin hanging out in our yard! I’ve seen her three times today, including twice in a small tree that has berries in it, which she apparently finds tasty.) We’re above 40 for the first time in more than a month, though (we were yesterday as well), and I’m very happy about that.

What a winter wonderland, Aj. But I wouldn’t want to drive in it. I can imagine walking there and how quiet and peaceful it would be.
We have had a strong wind yesterday and today. Makes me wonder what is happening weather wise somewhere to produce this kind of wind. Very rare here.

So…because I am still recovering from whatever daughter gave me, I was sitting in the van outside of church while a couple of the older ones were inside helping with Bible Club. I noticed the robins had returned, hundreds of them and blackbirds and starlings. I thought to myself that it must be cold for them as it was snowing. Then I looked in the rearview mirror and four of them were bathing in a mud puddle and having a good time. They stayed quite a while so I decided it must not be too cold for them.

Oh, the last vestiges of the January snows are melting away. 40s today, thunderstorms tonight. Messy with all the water everywhere. I had to reroute my way to work since a semi jack-knifed on ice this morning. All the melting snow of yesterday froze on the road at a tight curve leading to an ancient, narrow underpass (dangerous even in warm dry weather).
Pretty picture, AJ. Warm weather is heading your way.
