"He has made everything beautiful in it's time"

Ecc 3:11

Peachy Pie~ 

was life and color..a constant companion for the last decade.

He was given to us in mid August of 2001 and yesterday this August we said our goodby's.

I'd sensed his time was drawing near, so I began to watch him closly.

Suddenly, his breathing became fast and labored by late afternoon. So I grabbed him from his perch, put him on my chest then whispered a prayer. My husband made it over just in time to kiss his head before he gently closed his eyes. We were amazed at how peaceful and quickly he'd passed.. that we could be there.

He reminded me of a little fairy who loved to interact with everyone. I didn't take him outside much..

Only he's free now~

And so too-

"Remember him--before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,

or the wheel broken at the well"

Ecc 12:6

Hey Lady

My computer and I are running just a little too slow..so I'm calling this a break but am leaving you with some humor. Maybe you've seen this already but it made me laugh again- I will try to visit when I can.

Oh, don't forget to check out the sicker on her car!

Where East Meets West, Pt 1

Drive by shot-

on the way to the Pana‘ewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens in town. 

My son called while I was wandering around in Target..he and his girlfriend suggested we head out to the Zoo to see the Corpse flower!

(Amorphophallus titanum).  

The corpse flower blooms every 9-10 yrs or so, when it infrequently emits its smell to attract carrion beetles to what they believe is rotting flesh?

(Read more here) Someone had evidently (and anonymously) donated it..but it grows wild in the Indonesian rain forest of  Sumatra.

The picture below is the only one I took and I'm ashamed to say we were even late for this!! We hadn't been to the zoo for years, so we became distracted.. too busy trying to make faces back at monkey's for crying out loud! Anyway, I missed the smell of death!

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Polish Man Finds Wife Working in Brothel Wednesday, January 09, 2008

(yes, I pulled this out of my old yahoo mail) 

WARSAW — A Polish man visiting a brothel was surprised to find his wife working there, Reuters reported.

The woman, who had told her husband she had been working at a store in town to make extra money,

"I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the Polish tabloid Super Express on Wednesday.(lol)

The couple reportedly are getting a divorce~

I couldn't help wonder who initiated the divorce?

Men marry women with the hope they will never change. “Women marry men with the hope they will change. “And they are both disappointed.”

Albert Einstein

Three True Stories~

***

'Depressed since he could not find a job, 42-year-old Romolo Ribolla sat in his kitchen near Pisa, Italy, with a gun in his hand threatening to kill himself in 1981. His wife pleaded for him not to do it, and after about an hour he burst into tears and threw the gun to the floor. It went off and killed his wife

hmm?

Just men~

A fierce gust of wind blew 45-year-old Vittorio Luise's car into a river near Naples, Italy, in 1983. He managed to break a window, climb out and swim to shore -- where a tree blew over and killed him.

A man hit by a car in New York in 1977 got up uninjured, but lay back down in front of the car when a bystander told him to pretend he was hurt so he could collect insurance money. The car rolled forward and crushed him to death.

Well I hope something you read or saw made you smile~

Starting The Generates~

Was what he used to say...

 **Hazelnut cake, coffee with a candle**

I decided to link today's post with Self Sagacity's

(Thursday 2 Questions)

We made out alright with the last power outage..was kinda cozy actually.

The power goes out now and then..but from time to time it can be half a day or more depending on the circumstances?

Do you have back up- like as in a generator? We used to be on generator years ago.. I thought you said you were too while growing up Sandra? If any of you do not have a generator, do you hunt around for candles if it happens at night? (smile) How would you make the most of it? You only have to answer 2 Q-
