See All of My Needle-Felted Wool Dolls and Sculptures. Visit Our ETSY Shop. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Prince George: The Royal Baby is a Month Old! Elizabeth and I were hoping to get postage stamps from Great Britain, but the Royal Mail has informed us that they have no plans to issue stamps for the Royal Baby. What a shame! Guess we'll be ordering from New Zealand, right? We also found a seller on Etsy. Well, it's time to go mow the lawn, but I figured that a post on the Royal Baby would be fun! May I ...

Nut Butter Island: Christmas Prayer
http://nutbutterisland.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-prayer.html
Visit Our ETSY Store. Sunday, December 23, 2012. I have a little book titled "Hilltop Verses and Prayers: Collected Poems of Ralph Spaulding Cushman". It is a tiny book with maybe a hundred poems in it. But what a lovely little book. Each poem have a matching Bible passage and a little prayer to go with it. Some are just so lovely. So I thought I would post a couple of the Christmas ones. Here is the first. Let not our hearts be busy inns,. That have no room for Thee,. But cradles for the living Christ.

Visit Our ETSY Store. Sunday, January 6, 2013. Olivia, Our Fabulous Mama Kitty. So, the next day dawns and we prepare for the grand entrance. We didn't know the first thing about pregnant cats, so we figured we would segregate her so that the other cats (we had four at the time) would not pick on her. We drove to Lowe's. It went on all night! She was the cutest thing to watch, when she did it, because all that noise came out of her and she barely opened her little mouth! So, with many memories to keep he...

I couldn't be much happier. Written by James Denver "J.D." Gillespie (1928-1977). I went out for a walk one day. This is H...
