Conclusion
Come Away with Me ... He calls to
us...
Sometimes I feel like a frightened child. I understand how much I NEED His
peace.
Sometimes I feel like a broken woman. I need His peace and love to the
depth of my heart and soul!
Then I remind myself of ... what??
Baby Belly Laughs
Blubber, blow,
bbbbbbbbbbbbb! I love the sweet soft smell of baby’s belly against my
face. The added reward is the deep baby-laugh of delight and the wiggles.
Ahhhhhh, life’s precious moments!
Did you have a favorite
song you sang to your children? Did
you make up any? You know that Cradle-comes-tumbling-down song is kind of
scary!
Our song was not a
lullaby; it was much too stimulating!
Baby Belly Laughs!
A Crow named Jerry
Jerry was our pet crow.
Actually, there were two of them, Tom and
Jerry. My brothers had found them pitifully peeping after their nest
was knocked from tree. (They never admitted to deliberately knocking
it from the tree, but...) They brought them home to mom to see if
they
could be returned to their mommy crow.
