How can you control that? Like you and LeAnn, I believe we are getting down to the latter of the latter days. Jesus can't come soon enough for me! Ohh, that book sounds good. I will have to look for it. Todd would love it! I love all that you share on your blog also. Love you and big hugs! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-77312226948452162332018-02-20T08:41:31.614+00:002018-02-20T08:41:31.614+00:00Thanks so much LeAnn!

I think it is too late to get rid of all the guns, and they do have their uses, example being protection, but I don't think anyone needs an automatic weapon. That is just scary!

I love it when I post a comment right a...Hi Marie!<br /><br />I love it when I post a comment right after my sweet little sister, LeAnn...it makes me smile! <br /><br />You really do have some wonderful people (that includes Mitzie, because they really are like people) in your life. I love that Mitzie sleeps by your bed, that's adorable. Bob and I have seriously thought about getting two twins because he likes a very firm bed and me, not so much. It's a wonderful idea. <br /><br />Marie, you are so creative!! I love that little bear, it's just adorable! And the tea cozy is so colorful and pretty. I love needle work, it keeps my fingers limber. I have arthritis and I find that if I don't do things like crochet or needle work, my fingers get very stiff. <br /><br />Your mom is so cute. It's hard watching them go downhill, and I love that Heavenly Father has blessed them with being able to remember, "the good ol' days". <br /><br />I will definitely keep your sister in my prayers. <br /><br />Today, we took two of my grands to lunch, and while we were there I saw a cousin, who I haven't seen for a while. It was a wonderful reunion! She told me that another cousin, who is not much older than me, has dementia, and is home bound. It made me so sad! I need to make sure to go see her. <br /><br />Blackbirds are my favorite bird, I just love their song...I also love the Beatles, just sayin'. This winter, the canal company cut down a big willow tree that was along our ditch. I'm afraid that we won't have as many birds singing because of it.<br /><br />The days are getting longer - I love it when that happens. But, in the fall, I love it when they get shorter. I love all of the green in your photos, it's so dull and blah here, I can hardly wait for something to start blooming.<br /><br />We are a gun loving family, but, I agree that automatic weapons should not be sold to the public. They are weapons of war. My family disagrees with me, but I am firm in that belief. We have a lot of guns, and my husband always packs a gun with him. I think there needs to be very strict background checks and lots of caution when selling a gun to anyone. The world is a scary place indeed, and I agree with LeAnn, the last days are very near. I wish I knew the answer to all the wickedness in the world.<br /><br />I'm reading a book called, Here is Brigham, about Brigham Young's early years with the Prophet, Joseph Smith. He talks about going to Chester when he was in England. It does sound beautiful, and has so much history. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! <br /><br />Wonderful Book of Mormon thought today - I love that part of your post!! <br /><br />Love you and Todd!! Have a wonderful Wednesday!!<br /><br />Hugs and Love,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-61265341086266399282018-02-20T04:49:01.407+00:002018-02-20T04:49:01.407+00:00This was such a wonderful post of your small and w...This was such a wonderful post of your small and wonderful things. I feel that love for my dearest ones; my Roger and Sammy just like you. Our Sammy is right with us most of the time. I have loved my husband being retired. <br />Your bed idea is a good one; no blanket hogging; especially. <br />I loved the photo of the bears you made and all of the creative things you do. <br />You are a multi talented girl. <br />This year I am going to have a bird feeder; I do love birds an would like to attract more to our back yard. <br />I too love the old musicals and Camelot was a wonderful one. I haven't seen it for years so I need to. <br />I most of all love your moments with your Mom. I wish I could hear my Mom's voice. I love that you can get her to talk about the past. Does she have a history. My Mom kept a journal history so I completed it for her. It is such a treasure. <br />I love that you have a sister; I would have love one. I do have some friends that are like a sister. <br />Pizza, now that is a favorite of mine too. I happy you can have it when out or at home. <br />I admire you for being able to do the no chocolate thing. After I was sick I couldn't eat it for a while; but I'm back doing it again. I'm addicted. <br />We thought spring was coming and some trees were budding. However, last night we ended up with 5 inches of snow. We do need the mositure; we are near drought conditions. <br />I do love the changing seasons and the hours of light. <br />I'm not sure about the gun issue. Throughout history there has been times when weapons were need to protect homes and etc. as found in The Book of Mormon, early church history and through out US history. I don't know what the answer is. I just know the last days are here and the Savior's coming is not that far away. Our Nation is messed up and I don't know what will happen as the time continues to near. <br />Chester does look like a lovely place to live. <br />I always love your thoughts on The Book of Mormon, these were good ones today. Sending prayers for your sister's eye surgery to go well. <br />Blessings, love and hugs for you all!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-5920562832581312482018-02-20T00:27:23.283+00:002018-02-20T00:27:23.283+00:00Love Chester.

We made pizza for our Valetine treat and caught up with watching Call the Midwife--such a good evening! WOW--you have camelia's in bud--now??!! I'm with you on guns...and how TV, films, games, etc. depicting violent affect children. I don't think anyone should have access to guns, and especially not the automatic weapons. The police here aren't armed either. There is debate now about allowing police guns at airport border controls, but who knows... We have the "twin bed system" here too, and it saves our sleep and sanity! TJ's a flopper and turns a lot in the night. We could not share a duvet or blanket--I'd be short changed of it constantly... LOL! Your tomato rice soup looks sooo good...mmm... Wishing you all there a wonderful new week! :))) LOVE YOU LOTS!
