Yea!---Blessed...again!

 

Blessings! Thank You!

 

 

Our Lovely Lady Candice Leah successfully underwent

total hip replacement at Barnes Hospital today in St. Louis.

The procedure was scheduled for two hours, but Miss Candy

was in the Recovery Room in an hour and twenty minutes. Yea!

 

Her recovery is near spectacular; she looks really good, an

indication of relief from her intense pain; she has taken two

"walks" already and showed a hearty appetite at dinner.

 

She will rest tonight at Barnes and be home tomorrow by noon.

 

Thank you! To all for prayers and concern. She is well-loved.

 

Our family is greatly relieved and happy over her condition.

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Once---again!

 

Amen!

Lovely Lady Candice Leah!

 

Today's fiat: Candy's day! 

 

 

Lovely Lady Candice Leah undergoes surgery

for replacement of her right hip. Good luck!

 

We'll be right there, at your side, with you.

 

If it was within my power, I'd take it all for you.

 

So, we have an early day---we're...ready.

 

Bon chance! Mon Amie! Mon Amour!

 

We love you! Dear Lady!

We'll be there when you wake up, fully repaired---

you will be...just perfect; like always!

 

I love you! Dear Lady!

 

Amen!  

NOT a Carl Schuler creation---Borrowed from Uncle Dennis of Cleveland, OH

As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that:

Whether we wear a $300 or $30 watch - - -

they both tell the same time.

 

Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - - -

the amount of money inside is the same.

 

Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $30 or $3 wine - - -

the hangover is the same.

 

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3,000 or 30,000 sq. ft. - - -

the loneliness is the same.  And we realize our true inner happiness

does not come from the material things of this world.

 

Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - - -

we go down with it.

Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane reaches its destination - - -

everyone arrives at the same time.

 

Therefore . . . we should realize that when we have mates, buddies and

old friends, brothers and sisters, with whom we can chat, laugh, talk, sing,

talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth -- that is true happiness!

 

Six Undeniable Facts of Life

1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will

    know the value of things, not the price.

2. Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."

3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up,

    he or she will find one reason to hold on.

4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human.

    Only a few folks really understand that.

5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die.

    In between, you have to manage!

6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together!

 

Six Best Doctors in the World
1. Sunlight
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self Confidence
6. Friends

And, finally:
The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts,
the safest place to be is in someone's prayers,
and the very best place to be is.....
...in the hands of God.

Random thoughts of---yesterday...

Perfect Day for Horses

 

Plans: Mass at 9 am at the "log church";

Avalon horse show beginning at 10.

 

The girls "trotted" out their talents o Mr. "G",

that "Zorro"-swashbuckler and "king" Leo.

 

Displaying their wares on prancing "noble" beasts,

they jumped soared the steeds  to 3' 3" heights.

In the end, they triumphed some ribbons, each

of our equestrian contestants gaining experience.

Athletes and "humble" performers. A delightful day;

Z. Tyler joined the family after a golf outing. Perfect!

 

These Silver Springs Pony Club gals displayed grace and talent; all 

these young ladies could ride a wild wind---if...someone saddled it!

 

A fine late August summer day with warm sunshine,

large, puffy white "September"-type clouds, gentle winds.

All of nature's finest enhanced with myriad spectators! Great!

 

And, the bonus, on top of perfection: I met a "quick-wit"!

 

"Wit" is one sign of intelligence; "Quick" is a blessing.

 

Miss Jill took my gentle "agitating in stride, shot back

with barbs of her own design; we hit it off---immediately.

 

She introduced her sister "Sharon" (same name as my

sibling) and her daughter "Rachel", an accomplished

equestrian in her own right sharing our daughter's name.

 

Unashamedly, I told her of this blog and my books on

Amazon for Kindle; she showed interest in both. Thanks!

 

All-in-all---one...great day!

 

You just never know where the "trace" might lead;

just forge ahead, hang on, laugh  and "Enjjoy"!

Amen!

Yeah! I dare believe in "Rainbows" and "Unicorns"---and...Love!

“Magic”-carpet Ride

 

Four days I’ve been patiently waiting for the silk-suit

Meteorologist guru’s prognostication to come true with

those daily fiats of precious ‘rain” to finally fall---but…No!

 

Sure! True! I could have shlepped out the old stand-by for

water, the ever-faithful and trusty water hose; that’s work!

 

Garden’s dry, even the pesky squirrel vagrants won’t eat what’s

left of the shriveled veggies, grass’s dormant, trees droop. Wow!

 

Roses seem to thrive on drought conditions; Love! Triumphs!

 

Sitting in the yellow porch swing, an expectant eye on the cerulean

sky, hoping for a cloud, an errant wish, life slipped into my images.

 

Knew a neighbor once who had served his country well, daily

flew the red, white and blue in his manicured emerald yard,

loved his family, practiced his faith, talked a fiery-freedom brand.

And---hated…Oh! Dear Lord! “Hated”---with passion!

 

The “stupid” Red Chinese commies! Europe’s “frogs”, “limeys”, “krauts”,

all eastern Europeans, Mid-East people, Aussies, Africans---all the rest!

 

How there was any room for Love! in that demon-caldron? I’ll never know.

 

I might, indeed, find this holy Spirit of Love! and generous-Peace! presently

trapped in a “human-physical” realm of searching desperation for---What?

Fame? Fortune? Celebrity? Material? Wealth? Friends? Peace? Love?

 

I intend to purpose-choose and live the latter two of the lamented-litany.

 

Ah! Clouds on the horizon portended by the delicious sound of thunder.

 

I thank Thee! Lord! As does our dear Mother Nature.

 

Nature’s rain waters the flora and fauna blends with my single tear/

 

Too much Good! for “evil” to stand---in “The end”…Revelation reigns!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom!

Happy Sunday!---everyday!

 

Amen!

A fallow-up to yesterday's post

 

Baby! Oh! Baby!

 

 

Innocence elicits a smile! Offers Hope! Beckons Happiness!

 

Even any “macho”-man or pernicious-hearted woman cannot

obfuscate tender Love in the pleasant presence of an Innocent.

A warm-loving tender-babe melts any icicle heart, permeates a

cold, vacant soul with infinite caring Love, soars a dead spirit.

It is an empty, evil spirit, indeed, which refuses to embrace with

abandoned emotion offered loving sound and touch of Innocence!

 

Hope! Comfort! Inspiration! Personnified! Infants are!

Independent! Yet---totally…dependent. Love! In a tiny

Package, all wrapped up in pink or blue. Secure---yet…

most demanding. Soft and warm and sweet; God’s best

gift. Mankind’s survival-strategy! Mother Nature’s hope!

 

Heaven cherubs impassion pleasant “Worthy” life-time.

 

Baby!---Hopes! Smiles! Happiness! Love!

 

It is God’s intention; they serve Him well!

 

Indeed! Blessed are the children, for they shall see God…

 

Amen!



Baby! Oh! Baby!

 

“Innocence”! Born-Stolen-Cherished

 

Automatic, natural-instinct Love for a baby---Perfect!

 

Bright-eyed! Smiling! Soft as angel wings! Completely…Innocent!

 

All too quickly, the innocent learns the “Game-of-Life”.

 

Hungry? Just whimper---food!

Uncomfortable? Cry…attention!

Loving?---Simply…smile!

 

Everybody loves a baby---well…nearly!

 

The Good of life; perhaps---better…the very best!

 

In that new beginning lays our Hope! Comfort! Inspiration!

 

Very soon, “rules” will conspire to upset a pleasant heaven.

By five, the child will learn to “deny”---survival instinct…perverted.

By seven, that proverbial Yogi-“fork” enters---choose…carefully.

Like they say in sales: Some will! Some won’t! So what? Next!?

 

All too soon, some future will become the now

and each will stand naked-alone in Judgment

to answer for the then of his time through space.

 

So? Why contemplate the “un”-acceptable?

“Be happy! Don’t worry!” The lyrics advise.

 

Just for “fun” (my ultimate life-goal) among the

myriad trouble-trial-travails of time-space, allow

this rebel, rascal, rogue to offer humor, cause lighthearted

smiles, perhaps, with luck, and grace-blessing, spread Love!

 

If one should so desire to walk upon the narrow trace

to avoid any necessity of confession for embarrassing

transgression violating the fine line between Good and

evil, then never commit the sinful thought, word, or deed.

 

And, in that end, stand proud and tall in Judgment swift and pure.

 

If humble Simple-I might be redeemed to claim salvation one day?

Let my epitaph fiat proclaim: Live! Love! Laugh! In child-Innocence!

 

Amen!



"Qua;ity"

 

From "Good" to "Better" to "Best"!

 

 

"Good" is only adequate service to the responsibility---

 

"Better" is a considered effort toward superior success...

 

"Best" becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy of...excellence!

 

 

So? How do we get from here---to...there?

 

Easy! Focused effort based on practiced efficiency!

 

 

 

When? "Best" to begin---right...now!

 

Commitment---to...success!

Through concerted positive effort.

 

Amen!

Class act!

 

All the Family!

 

 

Lovely Lady Candice Leah enjoys the delightful

privilege of a loving "Class act" close-family.

 

That one "angelic" personality-character

be so exceedingly blessed is appropriate.

 

Surrounded by handsome young men and

gorgeous lovely young ladies, this saint

finds "helping hands" at every turn.

Suffering the loss of her mother this

past week brought out the very best

in "Christian" love and attitude from

her progeny; each generously "saintly".

 

A heartfelt "Thank you!" to one and all!

 

We could not manage absent your selfless

generosity expressed in loving kindness.

 

Your "Nanny" is most proud of each of you;

she did a great job imaging you after herself.

 

Blessed be "humble simple-I" for you---and...her!

 

 

Amen! 



Tribute to Dorothy (Rest in Peace)

 

(Note: Candy's mother passed Wednesday---91 years)

 

 

 

Red! White! And---Blue!

 

 

Imagine “the King” croons America the Beautiful! In your mind

Embrace full-measure loving treasure for Peace to humble find

 

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Pennant-display on gonfalon of gold

Proud story of a humble life complete-lived be now tender-told

 

For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain…

 

But---for…Faith! No understanding reason for Love! All meaningless

Cherish---yonder! Live---now! Expect---best! Eschew all senselessness

 

America! America! God shed His grace on thee…

 

Absent value- Family! What worthy-thought proclaim a selfless Love!

For any I received I generous returned more to praise the Deity above

 

And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea…

 

Freedom! Born of liberty: the natural sacred Trinity complete

And, in some end---among Seraphim and Cherubim a golden seat

 

“Fear not!” And “Follow Me!” Essence of His “Word”-holy

One chance! No dress rehearsal! Advice to individual “souly”

 

For I have oft’ tasted honey-sweet the sugar-treat life-candy stick

Child-like dared challenge-innocent adult-tradition pleasure-lick

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!

Vigilant be! Not one future be ever---late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

Just one more thing---a more perfect life because of thee…I knew

Thank You! Lord! For blessings unfurled on Red! White! Blue!

 

Tendered with an intentional-purpose---to express…Love!

 

Amen!

Scheduling---Big time and...always accurate!

 

Mother Nature

 

 

Good ole Mother nature plants her seeds each

year between August 15 and September 20.

 

During that five week period, she always provides

two or three good, soaking rains encouraging sprouts.

 

Gardeners can count on the phenomenon, unerringly.

 

Slight variations in timing exist for some plantings,

but, for the "hobby" horticulturalist, it's a safe bet

especially for homeowners planting grass seed. Fall,

generally, is a "good" time to fertilize, plant trees,

mulching, garden tilling for coming spring planting.

 

September's warm days and cool nights are ideal.

 

"You can't fool Mother Nature!" Don't try! Cooperate!

 

Amen!

Yeah! That's our boy---Umm! Hmm!

 

Class Act! 

 

 

29 years---young! Wow! And...One Class Act!

 

When I reached that tender age so many years ago, now,

I don't think I even knew "straight-up"---Z. Tyler...my "hero"!

 

Our grandson wrote a Face book entry today lamenting the

sad loss of Candy's mother yesterday morning; she is our

grand-children's great-grandmother, but they all call her

"Grandma" as Candy is their "Nanny". They all four suffered

a devastating tragedy with her loss. Z, expressed their feelings

in tender-testimony melting his Nanny's heart. Thank you! 

 

In response to his Facebook post---56 condolences arrived.

 

The respondees: Young ladies, friends, and, big, tough hockey boys!

 

I personally believe this "Younger generation" is "on-track"!

 

I conclude, my fellow citizens, our future is in good hands;

we are, and will be, well-served by these Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

Yeah! I appreciate a "Class Act"; age really is---irrelevant!

 

Good show! Z. Tyler---and...your "classy" friends.

 

I love you! Son! With justified reason! As always!

 

With devoted love and appreciation, Bapa

 

Thank you! God bless! Bon chance! Mon Amie! 

 

Amen!

Hope! Comfort! Inspiration! For---All!

 

"He" is with thee---always...

 

 

One week ago I wrote about values and virtues;

the "important" reality of sacred life time-space.

 

In the "façade" of contemplated focus on "self"

in a vacant pursuit of "false celebrity" affirmed

by money, material, power, the Love-reality of

the essence value-virtue of life can be missed.

 

Death immediately settles a wild exaggeration of

ego to the essence-meaning of Christian-Love!

 

"He is with thee---always..." rings true-comfort.

 

That "ultimate" end affirms our oft' denied mortality.

Cold! Stark! Relentless! The Pale-rider cometh!--To...all!

Once a first breath is drawn, a final one shall come.

There will be "NO" hall passes---Judgment...awaits!

 

Those stacks of "shekels", intended goodnesses,

planned "somedays", good wishes? Too late!

 

An infinite exposure to death's reality dawns.

 

To contemplate Love! is good!

To intend Love! is much better!

To live Love! is the very best!

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!

Vigilant be! No one's future be ever late!

 

Simple! Humble! Honest! Innocent-Love fiat proclaims:

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be...His!

 

Save Hope! Live Comfort! Allow Inspiration!

 

Fear not! Follow Me!--- 

I am forever with thee...

May thy myriad blessings be heaven-sent---
May thy forgivings be evident as a smile...!

In the perfect end---Love! conquers...all!
 

I pray thee Peace! in thy tribulation---

He offers thee Love! as His comfort...

 

Amen! And---again...Amen!



A Grandson's wisdom---and...humor!

 

Sand traps

 

 

"Mondays" are the sand traps

in the fairways of life!

 

(Offered by Z. Tyler Evans---

thanks for the proper...humorous insight!)

What might you be a "slave" to?

 

Perceptions!? Yuck!

 

So? Just what is really important? Really?

 

Money? Hmm!? "How much" is finally enough?

 

Popularity? Wow! What other people think

of me---is...none of my business!> Really?

 

"Straight-A" report card for my kids?

 

The "right" zip code? At any premium-price?

 

That best automobile hood ornament?

 

The right clothes, jewelry, make-up, perfume, etc.?

 

Is it all just perception? Fluff!?

 

To what end? Please! To any end? Really! For what?

 

The worthy purpose of life---is intent toward Happiness!

Through Praise! Honor! Glory!

Truth! Justice! The American Way!

From liberty which fosters sacred Freedom!

To:  Live! Laugh! Love!

Faith! Family! Freedom!

 

All does not turn, and, never will, on the tarnish of "gold"!

 

Holy Luster emanates through character forged---only...in Love!

 

When "all" has "been" and "is" and "gone"---

what price then...be the honest quality-of-virtue?

 

"What" thee brought into the world shall thy also take with!

And, to draw a first breath---determines a final one...too soon! 

 

Honor-of-truth initiates the key to the kingdom!

 

Choose thy "proof" for celebrity---very, very...carefully!

Time through space-of-life is closely defined...for each!

 

Amen!



Yeah!---I really can...fly!

 

Silver “Angel” Wings

 

White fluffies kissing blue traverse sky yonder

Surveilling splendor I wonder why I wander

 

Time surely will pass through space to mark the day

Serious! Must I get, industrious; not all fun and play

 

Make a mental note to contemplate a ’morrow goal

Success! Applauded by masses; demanded aspiring toll

 

Let me see? Count worthy life’s important accomplishments

None! Pray tell! Save party-time savoring all nourishments

 

Once!? Okay? Maybe? I saved, then stashed a sacred five bucks

Hoarded that “fever” with a coupon: Half-off! Hmm! Just luck!

 

Another time, I freed a fledgling quail stuck in roadside oil

Paid for a young boy’s cost not wanting his ice cream to spoil

 

Made an ancient neighbor lady smile with one yellow rose

Caused comfort-hope for some compared to me, I suppose

 

Even let a batter hit one far ’cause some laughed at his shoes

Yeah! “Little” things that nobody ever noticed as worthy news

 

Smelled deeply of the roses in the garden I did joyful-loving tend

Oft’ spirit flew among Silver Angel Wings for dreaming to spend

 

Played “White Stallion” in the pool with sweetness little girls

Taught them pleasant-ride the ponies like wild whirlwind swirls

 

Failed terrible to “adult”-be of irreverent intent to life-event show-up

A-purpose never feared to Liberty-Freedom leave just to “grow-up”

 

Yeah! I confess transgress to please what others for me desire

Emulate them? No chance with such could humble-I conspire

 

So? I choose walk alone where I am free and air is clear to breathe

Like Yogi’s “fork”; I take it! No material encumbrance do I seize

 

For I have tasted sweet of love and licked the honey-sugar candy-stick

And, wild-soared at will white fluffies as a friend the angels ready pick

 

Amen!
