The art of being happy lies
in the power of extracting happiness
from common things.

                                                                ~ Henry Ward Beecher

 

 

The human spirit needs to accomplish,
to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
                                                                        ~ Ben Stein
 
 
 
 
Rotary Holiday Party
This year we had a Hawaiian theme ... with temperatures below freezing!
 
Eric insisted that I have my picture taken.
I changed it to a "watercolor" on my computer.
Up close, it really looks like a watercolor, but now
it just looks blurry.
(Why is that, Jack and John?)
 
 
Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived to listen to what the kiddies wanted.
 
 
 
A few of our Painted Toe members had a delightful
time at Lori's on Saturday!
Lori, Sharon (Lori's daughter), Jill (Jackie's daughter), Jackie.
Sharon and Jill went to college together years ago.  They are
your age, Robin.

Late on a sleepy, star-spangled night,
those angels peeled back the sky
just like you would tear open a sparkling Christmas present.
Then, with light and joy pouring out of Heaven
like water through a broken dam,
they began to shout and sing the message
that baby Jesus had been born.
The world had a Savior!
The angels called it "Good News, "
and it was.

2When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples 3and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?"
