I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

  11. Yup … I saw it at Sandee’s and at Mary’s Work of the Poet … and have it in ‘drafts’ ready to post one of these days. It’s ‘kewl’ that you were born the same year that Charlotte’s Web was published. That’s one of my all time favorite books! How strange to discover that Sandy of Momisodes was born when Jimmy Carter was President … the year Stephen King’s book, THE SHINING was published. All of a sudden I’m feeling very old. Sigh!
    Hugs and blessings,
