Beautful Day Home from NC

Well

hello to all

...

I'm home

from a wonderful tour

of

North Carolina

where they serve you

ICED TEA

in a

Mason Jar

and

have the greatest of steaks

lined up on the menu

right beside of choices

like

"pimento cheese sandwhich"

and

I just cannot imagine

ordering

a

"pimento cheese sandwhich"!!!

...

oh did I meet some fantastic

folks along the journey

through

the City that is growing like a wild fire

in

Charlotte

to

the wonderful folks in

Winston Salem

and

ending with some folks

who tickled me good

in

Raleigh!

North Carolina has some fine

Professional Caregivers there

and

all are working hard to provide care

in hard times of our economy

in times

when folks need the best doing so much for so many.

It was a great honor to spend time with them.

I believe it was in Charlotte

that I was able to meet a young woman

named

Shanna

who worked in the restaurant

Shanna

was a delightful young woman

friendly, and she had a great story to share!

Shanna is the

granddaughter of

Mr Bernard Wylie

of

Charlotte NC

and

Mr Bernard

"invented Pecan PIE"

><

Now how bout that?

I was sitting right there talking to the granddaughter of the man who invented a slice of heaven!

and

what is truly funny?

Shanna does NOT like pecan pie!!!

Oh the wonder of

spiders' web

each thread one touches affects the other

and the web affects the whole of

Creation!

thank you

Mr Wylie

for your magnificnet invention!

In the hotels were

trees

Christmas trees

Christmas music

oh the season to be jolly

the moods

to be

Merry

the season is all around us

(well except for the hustle and bustle of the airports)

and

the highways

and

byways!

I heard while on the tour via a blog of our warrior

EE

that she was so very ill

my heart sank

and

I was very worried.

It seemed that she contracted

Staph

from the heart procedure and then ate some

food that gave her weakened system food poisoning

or

and

the flu on top of it.

She is now recovering,

but with a fragile system it has taken its toll

and now she struggles to find her way to strength again

in order to get the needed strength of soon a trip of 3 hours to

Denver

for a surgery to remove this life threatening tumor on her kidneys (2)

and

we all will surround her with thoughts/prayers

and

if that link is up

and

you have something to send

it would be used for gas/for hotels for her son

to have a nearby place to rest his head while she is in the hosptial.

>>><<<

Yes

even in the magical and most sacred times of the year

really rotten things happen

to really lovely people in our world

on this page

and

in our communities.

We talked about that this week

how caring so deeply for so many over time

can erode your resiliency

can make you question your faith at times

and make you weak in the knees

when you care so deeply

and

see such things so closely.

It is during times of great stress and heart rendering situations and times

that we must dig deeply to faith

to

hope

to cherish all that we are

to help us stand tall

and

to hold to each other

and

to that which is greater than any one of us

or that which is within us

and

know

that together we are much more

than we will ever be alone.

We are never stronger than when we reach out and ask for help

and

it does not matter how many come forward

or who

but that someone somewhere is caring

and

if possible someone hears.

THAT IS ALL WE NEED

is the knowledge

we are never alone.

STOMP

With each new day

comes new strength new HOPE new possibilites

and

NEW hands to reach to another

Just think,

i met the granddaughter of the man

who invented

Pecan Pie...

talk about hands reaching and meeting and

WOW

Walk in Beauty,
