Hi Marydon! Hate to say in regard to win or lose, but I watched the three games of football that were on my stations yesterday, with Dear Son, and ALL of them were great games!.. close, and a real fight to win, right to the end!.. Well, with the exception of some botched up plays, and a holding call that couldn't have made one player too popular in the locker room that night! Hope you had a great weekend! ((hugs)) ~tina
I don't care much for football...although the boys here are CRAZY about it! Hummingbirds have migrating paths that they take, I believe, that could be the difference from your back yard to your front yard.
That game was AMAZING!!!! Josh and I watched the whole thing at home. In the beginning Josh was like..."Man, I don't want to watch this. I don't like the Redskins anymore." By the time they scored that first touchdown he was hollering and shouting and loving every minutes of it! LOL!
Marydon, Been a while since I stopped by. I have had some personal illness and several deaths of both family members and loved ones. God is gracious, though, and had allowed me to endure. I give Him praise.
I love your recent posts. Your photos and writing is always so uplifting and so encouraging. Thank you for all the effort you put into your blog. It blesses me so.
I can hear the band playing and the crowd cheering at our local high school on Friday nights. Brings back a lot of good memories and reminds me autumn is just a week away!
I am glad your team won. Since I am a Texan I tend to pull for the Cowboys, but they sure let us down. Trust they get their act together soon. A hug and kiss is nice, mud and all.
Hi Marydon! I don't know the first thing about football...I'm a baseball fan! This is a very cute cartoon though. Thank you so much for you sweet visit today...I loved your tribute poem for 9/11. Enjoy your week, xo Paulette
Yep you sure did which has my son and grandson so sad....hahahaha Congrats on the win Goodness he must of had a long day getting home that early or late ..lol But well worth it I am sure. My grandson Bailey has to learn the Cowboys can be beat. haha Just checking on you before I turn in tonight. Thanks honey for all the prayers for me and Gary I need to do a post but can't seem to be able to Love Maggie
I love it! I love it! I love it! Marydon you have the best Love is..I am still searching for my box of old newspaper clipping ones that we have somehwere here....come see me soon. HAppy anniversary kiddos! Sweet! Anne
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend, Before they learn to fly again. On the breath of God they’ll soar, They’ll be stronger than before. Don’t look back into the past, What was fire now is ash. Let it all be dead and gone, The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien Portion of her song lyrics ~ Stronger Than Before
A fool is known by his speech; and a wise man by silence.
~ A Rose ~
Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away. (written for Marie 2/2/13 entered heaven 3/27/13)
The biggest sin one can create for their selves is deceit
A good marriage is the union of two forgivers. ~ Ruth Bell Graham
~ Poignant ~
Our mind is our garden Our thoughts are the seeds So we can grow flowers Or we can grow weeds
Where will you be sitting in eternity ... Smoking ... OR ... Non-smoking
~ Memory ~
He who is not very strong in memory, should not meddle with falsehoods
~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.
~ Unspoken ~
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
~ A Friend... ~
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises, justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, & continues a friend unchangeably.
~ Insight ~
The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children. Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....
Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey
~ Rose Kisses ~
A rose will bud, bloom & glow Beneath the heavenly skies Kissed by God To bring a smile. by Marydon
~ Life's Mirror ~
When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost

I questioned 'WHY?!', He continued to listen. I turned a deaf ear, He spoke softly. I struggled & floundered, He continued to hold me up. I closed my eyes, He touched my heart. I looked for answers, He was patient. I begged for strength to endure, He gave me love.(Written by Marydon Ford)
