Waking of Ned Devine






Was so delighted to find this on tv last night! If you love Ireland and the Irish you'll love this movie. A great plot and wonderful cast. You'll laugh everytime you think about it for days to come.

    Tony and I love this movie. It came out when we lived in Provo, and we must have watched it a half dozen times at the dollar theater behind our house.

Well the force isn't with me tonight! I had some wonderful footage that I can't get to load and the pictures are alittle blurry....oh, well. Jim's Aunt Delores came to visit last week for a couple days. She is one of those Aunts that is interested in what's going on in your life, she's funny, full of good stories and she loves to entertain. Until a few years ago she played in a bluegrass band and had for years. She plays the banjo, guitar, and mandolin, well. Her and my manly man played for hours,(she was very patient with him). But, all those things aside, the thing we love most is when she yodels. She's awesome! One of the grandkids kinda slid up to her and whispered "how do you do that?". We were sad to see her go, but, her finger tips were raw , so I think it was time.

This is the view from our front porch on a cold, snowy day. Lucky us we moved back in time for the coldest, snowiest winter in decades! It is beautiful but, after a month of it, it's starting to get alittle old. We are blessed to have the nicest neighbor ever. He has regularly plowed our drive after each snowfall, I don't know  what we would have done without him, and thank-you never seems like enough. Any ideas? This week the schools were all closed, it'll be late release this year. Of course we've found plenty to do inside. This has been Jim's first full week home in months and he's enjoying it to the fullest. The garage is looking great and things are being organized. I feel no compulsion to ever finish unpacking,  my cabinets and closets are full so the rest can stay in the boxes. After fighting for a month to keep the goats water filled and unfrozen, we found out about these heated buckets and rushed out to buy one. What a relie...

new babies at the starfish house

This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...
