to be nearer family and I have retired.

So I will be getting back to posting some photos and

look forward to visiting with old friends...

With the birth of my Great-grandaughter,

Mazie Monroe Collicott, last Thursday,

I am rededicating my life and work to be

something of value for her to learn from and hopefully

remember me by...

to quote St. Francis:

Lord make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred let me so love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light; and

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much

seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi

Finally! Got my new camera -

Canon PowerShot S 5 IS - I get to play with a digital now!!!

I am sooooo excited!

When I started on Flickr all I had were disposable cameras - I tried to capture my love of gardening and the beauty in my life with that -

A Flickr friend reminded me yesterday

that while I am Christian, .

I also Try to live by this quote:

My Religion is simple.

My religion is kindness

The Dalai Lama

I expect to pass through life but once.

If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show,

Or any good thing I can do to any fellow being,

Let me do it now, as I shall not pass this way again.

I firmly believe that if more people in the world lived by

this simple philosophy, we would not be in the horrible

messes we are in all over the world!!!
