KITTY CLOTHES FOR BUDDY

Look at this boy! He's all decked out in his new walking vest from Holly.

We're hoping to train him to walk on a leash outside. This vest is made very sturdily with really strong velcro and has a loop to attach a leash. I think this will be safer than a collar and more comfortable than a harness. Not to mention, very fancy!! That's our Tinkerbelle trying to figure out what's going on with Buddy. (second photo)

JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW...THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO

There is a very sweet familiar song we sing at the resthome. It's called "Jesus loves me". It is amazing to see these "little ones" join in and sing along. Such a simple song with such a wonderful truth. It doesn't matter if we're just a babe or in our elder years. We are all precious to God and He loves us so much.
Won't you join me and sing along?

"Jesus loves me this I know

for the Bible tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

We are weak, but, He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

The Bible tells me so."

As I look at this photo, I see that some of these dear ones are no longer with us. They are home now, with the Lord, and experienceing His wonderful love face to face.

P.S. If you look real close, in the center of the photo, you can see my Daddy holding Tinkerbelle. She's even wearing her official Therapy vest!

PERSONALIZED TEDDY BEAR ORNAMENT

This little
"bauble" is an ornment that I designed way back in 1984. I can write a name on the little star. The banner can also be personalized with several different sayings. This one is a sweet reminder. A simple song. A wonderful "blessing".

My brother Louie, the proud grandpa, just sent me a new photo of Tanner and Ayden.

I just had to post it. "Hi Tanner! Hi Ayden!"

What wonderfu "blessings" you are.

"BABY" AYDEN

I would like to share a very special "baby" with you. He is the newest member of our family. Baby Ayden was born to my neice Courtney and her husband Ron this past March. Isn't he a doll? He has a wonderful big brother named Tanner (seen in the photo with his beautiful Mom, Courtney, and my Daddy who just celebrated his 90th birthday) Tanner just started Kindergarted this year. We are very proud of him. My favorite brother Louie...he's my only brother (teehee) has two beautiful daughters, Courtney and Jordan, and is married to his beautiful wife, D'ann for over 30 years. They are all very special "blessings".
