Happy New Year Crystal!

Happy Birthday Crystal!

Five Little Pumpkin Sitting On A Gate

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"I see witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
Then whoosh went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Happy Halloween!

Autumn Serenity

The touch of color scattered into the trees coupled with the early morning chill signal the end of another season.

As I look high up into the sky the birds are making their way southward early this year and I wonder at the reason.

The moth is full and wooly which they say will show that the winter will be harsh and the snow will swirl around us too soon it may seem.

But for now I enjoy the cool breath of the wind upon my cheek that brushes my hair softly across my eyes as I enjoy the remaining green.

Soon enough the brilliant colors of autumn will fill the land as the leaves give us their annual beauty pageant competing with the falling sun.

The sunlight as it slowly slides below the horizon seems to catch the leaves full of fire as though they together are one.

My friends in the far north tell me of the beauty of the Aurora as it dances through the sky in a symphony of light each night.

I have not seen that symphony but I have seen the one that surrounds us with brilliant light as the leaves dance on the wind and it is a beautiful sight.

The falling leaves fill the ground with their colors which quickly fade so they must be enjoyed at the moment as you see them fall from the tree.

Catching them at the moment where they fall in the wind and fill the air with beauty takes my breath away and my heart feels so free.

Each season has its own special beauty but Autumn has always captured my heart in its own special way because it seems to fulfill the destiny of the land.

The brilliant colors are singing their symphony to show us that they have beauty as they fall before they turn dull and gray and fade away as only they can.



Love Always, AJE enjoy your last day of summer for 2007.

Hi Crys just passing in your direction! We're having some rain up in my area but I think the plants are a little thirsty. Take Care Dear Friend!

May all beings be peaceful.

May all beings be happy.

May all beings be safe.

May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.

May all beings be free.

Many Blessings on this Easter Crys!

Jesus Is Risen



"Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia! "

Charles Wesley







It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.



But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body.



While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."



And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.



Luke 23:54-56, 24:1-9

A Single Rose



A Single rose I give to thee

On this a special day

To help you keep within your heart

The things I want to say

Your friendship gives me so much joy

I cannot say enough

The warmth that comes from every one

Just fills me with such love

The world depends on unity

When we all pull together

Our struggles seem to disappear

Become light as a feather

The sun comes out to shine again

A smile forms on my face

My heart feels just like dancing

In this very special place

When friends like you come gather

Just to share and spend some time

It's the perfect time to give to you



THIS ONE ROSE VALENTINE!

DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!



Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to

go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under

the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a cheque ."



"Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike. He won't bother you. But,

whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I

REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"



When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he

discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just

as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman

go about his work.



The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant

yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain

himself any longer and yelled,



"Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"



To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

Thanksgiving: a holiday that always falls on a Thursday because the pilgrims came here in search of a four-day weekend.
