“My baby ‘chick’ is hiding…”
It is TIME to FEED…my baby ‘chicks’ – – and they run and hide – -how can I get this dish of food to this baby ‘chick’?
This was the week to surprise the boys with a few baby chicks… and little Lee Aldrich – – just felt like this job of feeding the chicks was the one job that he could do.
Every day that little Lee…would get some of the special chicken feed in his small dish – – he would have more problems – – just getting one of the four chicks – – to let him watch them eat.
So… after watching this major activity every day – – just thought that I would have to take a few PHOTOS – – just as a reminder of the struggles… a small child has…when he is determined to do something – – important to him – – even though the baby chick wants to be very careful – – that he does not end up on the dinner table for he FAMILIES’ supper.
Today is the first day of SPRING – and also PALM SUNDAY – – – and last night the – – NEWS forecast ed “SNOW” – – so during the night I got up from bed to take a look outside – – just to see if they knew what would happen – – and sure enough – – you should have seen the “SNOW” coming down – so beautiful – you would have thought it is CHRISTMAS tomorrow – – instead of PALM SUNDAY???
It looked just like a wonderful “WINTER LAND” scene – – that should be framed and saved forever – – but in the morning .. .. gradually…. it just was not cold enough.. .and by twelve o’clock high noon – – – it was all gone! When our CREATOR sends us special little surprises – – not all of us are awake to see… –

“Is SHE or isn’t SHE only…”
“No way that baby “JAIME” is only five (5) months old!”
When you go to work – – and there is a NEW BABY in the FAMILY… everyone wants to see PHOTOS! So… I just had to bring my favorite PHOTOS of my “GRAND-CHILDREN” – – only because I knew – – that – – they are the best looking “GRAND-CHILDREN” – – and I was so proud to have some of the best PHOTOS… for “SHOW and TELL!”
The above PHOTO – – of “BABY JAIME” received more comments – everyone ask me … half a dozen times or more… “ARE you for SURE” that she is only five (5) months old??? “YES!” “Look at the back of the PHOTO…Jill her MOTHER surely knows how old her BABY is!” “Jill in her own hand-writing …has everything written on the back of her PHOTOS!”
The next major question was… “BABY JAIME” has so much hair…was she born with so much hair?” To tell the truth … “JAIME” had even more dark brown hair – -than what you see!” “SHE was just LUCKY” to have so much hair and so dark and beautiful!”
In addition to all of the questions – – half of my fellow employees could hardly believe that “JAIME” was sitting up so nice and straight – – as some of the women had said that – – their babies had to be propped up for picture taking at that same age. I just felt so good …that my GRAND-CHILDREN were getting such high reviews…and I could tell that some of the women were wondering – – how in the world … could an old GRANDMA – come up with such beautiful GRAND-CHILDREN?
My answer to questions like I was receiving …was that we all must PRAY – – just as often as possible and then – – never ever forget to give THANKS to our wonderful CREATOR!

“I’m WORKING OUT – just like YOU!”
“Do you think that I’m WORKING OUT – just like YOU…MOM?” I am learning to keep track of the number of times – – that I’m going up and down – and the best part of this exercising is the special music – – – that you have playing…just for me…too!
It sure is good – – that I am as strong… as I think…that I am…or will soon be – – because there are… only so many of these ups and downs …. that some little one … like me…can really do…
This is little Alyssa at 21 months of age.

“FOR THOSE WHO WEAR – GREEN!”
There is an old song…”I’m Looking over a FOUR-LEAF CLOVER – that I ‘over looked’ before…” and if you just say that little bit of the song – you just may be able to come up with the rest of the song.
BUT…with just that small bit of the song – – I’m wishing you all… a very “HAPPY ST. PATRICK’s DAY” – – – when looking over the FOUR LEAF CLOVER – – there are four very nice wishes below… and the one that you like the BEST… is my very special WISH – – just for you…”DEAR” – – and the best part of this… is wishing you lots of extra special BLESSINGS… from our CREATOR – – just for you and your special needs!
If you wear BLUE and WHITE…that’s okay. too – – those are the colors for IRELAND…

“1st Flowers in my Back-yard!”
Each year these beautiful “Daffodils” just decide to surprise me … each year – – no matter what the weather is dishing out – – these sweet and tender “Daffodils” know that my favorite color is “Yellow” and that … when I see them – – I feel like a million – – that our Creator wants me to share in all the joy and happiness – – that only these little “yellow” faces … can bring to those who take time to appreciate the extra special beauty of our world!
“In a NUTSHELL” – – it is so amazing that our Creator… is the one and only – – to make such a wonderful thing as the flower – – with more beauty than even “Solomon” in all his royal glory – – – as described in the Bible – – I am just letting my eyes enjoy these beautiful gifts … for the weeks that they have to dance around in my backyard – – – – FOR ALL THE PEOPLE TO VIEW…ON THEIR WAY INTO “SUNSET PARK” – – – only uplifting and inspiring – FREE – gifts from the Almighty!”
