♣HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY♣

Aly honors Princess Fiona for "Pinch Me Day"

On this day of clovers, may a rainbow run beside you, in a sky that's always blue and may happiness fill your heart each day... your whole life through! May Irish hills caress you, may her lakes and rivers bless you, may the luck of the Irish enfold you and may the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you! However, I've seen the OTHER side of the rainbow and already found my pot of gold... His name is Jesus Christ... the very Maker of the rainbows, blue skies filled with sunshine, the Irish hills and lakes, happy hearts, the gold 'in the pot' AND The Promise!!!

Special Note: We are happy to report that Uncle Ron was released from the Hospital on March 10th and his recovery is moving along perfectly! There is sure to be a long road ahead, but we are thanking God for His answers to prayer! The latest news is that he received a great report on Tuesday, the 15th, from his surgeon and of course, God continues to work in the entire situation... what a MIGHTY God we serve! Too many details to print here, but we are praising the Lord. Please continue to pray with us that God will receive all the glory!? Thank you!

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST...

"Difficult to know what words to write ~ my heart is hurting. Asking for all of you to believe in the power of prayer with us, and to pray for someone very special to me. My dear Dad has recently been diagnosed with a type of sarcoma in his leg. Praying for healing, wisdom and strength. (He goes in for another surgery on Tuesday, March 2nd.) God's peace and presence have been amazing. We greatly appreciate all of the love and prayers that we have been feeling this week. Thank you from our hearts! Please KEEP us in your prayers." A special note from my cousin, Ronda (Kennedy) England.
This news has hit our entire family, pretty much right out of the blue and we are asking the prayers from saints around the world!
The color YELLOW brings Sarcoma awareness so, please wear something yellow (even if it's just a ribbon), on Tuesday (the 2nd) and remember my Uncle Ron in prayer throughout the day! WE HAVE NO DOUBT THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL AND WE'RE TRUSTING HIM FOR A MIRACLE! Thank you in advance for your prayers!!!
Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord! Psalm 31: 24.....

A FEW VALENTINE 2011

MEMORIES TO KEEP

♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay.......
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

Scenes of Christmas 2010

WINTER 2010

(MORE PHOTOS BELOW)

I wish that I could wrap up all the love and Holiday cheer that comes along with Christmas and with New Year's every year, pack it in a pretty box and put it on my shelf and pull it down again each year and give it to myself.

I wish that I could tie up all my favorite carols with twine, wind around some ribbon, too, and for twelve months call them mine until the next Yuletide came when the sounds again could be unfurled and untie every single one then give them to the world.

Each year though wiser and older am I, still thoughts of Santa cause such excitement... and a simple reading of the Christmas Story brings such tears of joy to my eyes. So, like many Christmas's before, you see there really is no difference, it's just "your height in the door" and in the innocence of a child, I take this moment, to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! {Adapted}

Christmas Time Feelings Are in The Air

WINTER 2010

WOW! After many months, we are blogging once again, with the hopes of doing better in the coming months! Trust all of our Penn Palz are doing well this fine December and pray you will each have a beautiful Christmas Season... filled with all the love you can hold!

We enjoyed a busy end to our Summer and a very nice Autumn, as well! This Winter looks to be just a little hectic, but that's what the Holidays are all about, right? Shopping, food, company, fun, parties, fellowship, etc.

Let us remember, the person or persons who has not Christmas in their heart, will never find it under a tree and the very best... of all the gifts, around any Christmas tree, is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other! ENJOY!!! Merry Christmas from our home........
