Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!


Was pleased to read your getting better


Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Happy last day of March 2006,
Hope this quick note finds you doing well and your family doing well as well. Have not heard from you recently, but I've thought of you often and wondered if you are finding warmer says in your part of the world. These days it is beautiful in Florida. This weekend one of my daughter's will participate in a Relay for Life to raise money for the American Cancer Society. They will be walking all night on Saturday night...this year they will lose an hour with the time changed, but it will be a long night all the same.
Hope to hear from you soon,

Greetings from a friend. Thinking about you and hoping that Spring brings a shining beam into your window. It is beautiful weather here...but we are having a bad allergy season. It is has been like having a cold for the last 4 to 6 weeks. It IS seasonal so we just have to deal with it until it (whatever causes the allergic reaction) dies.
Hope you can give us any update soon. Praying for you and yours.
From sunny Florida,

Hi Cassie,
Greetings my friend! As you know, my computer's been acting funky...but maybe I'll get lucky and this will go thru!
Sent you a package via "slow boat to china"...should arrive mid March. It's a gift I can "add on to" with little effort and am looking forward to all the things I can send to go with it. And it'll be fun to see if you can figure out what I'm even talking about (grin).
Please let me know when it arrives.
It's a good size box (would fill your lap)
Luv Ya Lots, kiddo.
Cool Valentine's on their way as well.
Blessings & Shalom,
Lu

Health has returned. I hope this entry finds you and yours doing well. Can you believe we are already past the first month in 2006?

Many entries ago I talked about the Florida wildlife that appears in our neighborhood. Well it has been a very long time, but the deer have returned to our yards. We noticed a little deer behind our house and my daughter took photos of it through our cage lanai (porch). Then on another day, in the middle of the morning, I saw a very long-legged dog (what I thought was a dog out in the middle of the morning) near another homes trash cans. I drove my car right up to the little deer...it was munching the grass. I quick parked my car and grabbed the camera...he allowed me one shot before he 'shot' The other evening (only around 7p) my husband and I we walking (now, let me explain that we are in a neighborhood with 30 some houses in close range) and I heard a rustling behind a bush. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a dog that might charge us. It was, in fact, 2 deers munching grass. They were about 5 feet away and just stood and looked at us. Eventually they ran when car lights scared them. There is a small patch of trees near our housing development and I guess that is where they came from. Another neighbor said she sees them throughout the day (like they are dogs who live right around the houses). The truth be told, I'd rather have a bunch of deer rather than the wild boars (pigs) that come up from the river. The boars tear up the yard...the deer just nibble the grass.

Take care,
Barbara

Talking about the weather yet again...but who wouldn't with this unseasonably warm weather! 10 years of Florida weather and I must say that I DO like it to get cold now and again. I'm from a bit colder temperatures and like the warm weather (don't miss the sleet and snow), but does it have to be SO warm in January?
Hope to hear from you soon,

Hi Cassie,
Seems like you might like cats so I thought I would share with you the following cat poem I just read. It made me smile (well, except for what happened to the mouse :)

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

'Cuz the cat had pounced on him
and tore him apart -
Ate his mousey intestines
and chewed up his heart.

Kitty thought he heard sleigh bells,
which made him take pause -
He stopped daintily licking
the blood from his claws.

"Must be Santa," thought Kitty
(that quite clever cat)
'Cuz nobody else climbs down
the chimney like that.

Indeed it was ol' Santa
so jolly and fat
With a huge load of presents
and all for the cat!

"Wow, the best Christmas ever!"
Kitty thought with a purr,
Then he coughed up a hairball
and shed some more fur.

Haven't told a Florida animal story recently: Yesterday I was working from home on a beautiful, sunny day in Tampa. My door bell rang and as soon as I opened the door I saw why someone had come to my door...my garbage (my smelly, messy kitchen garbage that was many days old) was strewn all over the road in front of my house (it also covered my driveway). The turkey vultures, while they are a great source of 'road kill' clean-up, they think that smelly garbage is a delicacy. They had opened all the trash bags that were piled outside the trash can (lesson #1: don't put out trash bags that are not contained in a trash can). They had taken the top off the trash can (lesson #2: make sure the trash can lid is securely fastened). They had opened bags with food and bags without food (lesson #3: turkey vultures just don't know when to quit). I had to take out a whole box of new trash bags, pick up the mess and re-bag it. The vultures had also taken some of the garbage down the road so I had to pick up garbage all over the place. When that was done I threw on buckets of bleach water (think smelly food and bacteria) and then hosed everything down. All the while the vultures (about 10 of them) circled over the houses. The only thing keeping them up in the air was a lawn mower running in the next yard...that is what scared them away in the first place. As for human scaring them away...hah hah! You can yell and clap your hands, but they only start to lumber away when you get right up to them. They are quite comical to watch running down the road, but I wasn't finding any humor in re-bagging my garbage. I also had to keep an eye on the garbage so we didn't have a re-attack. 'Buy another trash can' is already on the list for this weekend!

Still a sunny day,
Barbara

Beautiful weekend in Tampa. Very hot and humid, but that is better sometimes than lots of rain (and way better that sleet and wet snow). Have several mosquito bites this morning as I didn't remember to come in last evening in time. So what is like in your part of the world. I hope this finds you doing well and that those closest to you are doing well also.

I usually work from home, but yesterday I went into the office. It was nice to see people...my day is usually spent with a bird (who can talk but usually just yells at me). It was nice to have lunch with someone...it usually just me, the computer (doing work) and something I shove into my mouth. The commute going in was pleasant enough, but the trip home was bumper to bumper. I'm back to working from home, doing laundry and running the dishwasher (multi-task in my middle name).

Joined a Bible study at church...my husband has joined as well. Different approach...prior approved = trying to read the Bible cover to cover...this approved = understanding the timeline from Creation forward. This study will have us read 12 stories (there are 73 total in the Bible) which will give us the history so then the other 61 books will make sense in a supporting sense. I'm excited and looking forward to getting this timeline in my mind!
Hope this finds you doing well,

Hope you had a good weekend. I got to the beach on Sunday. There was a breeze and I loved just sitting there and watching everyone. I have to put on many layers of sun block and spend most of the time under and umbrella, but it sure beats not going at all. I'm very prone to sunburn (light skin tone) so I'm happy to use the sun block and be limited by the umbrella...I did make a quick dip in the Gulf. The water was bath water warm!
Have a good week,

Do you start thinking about Christmas this time of year? Started for me about 2 weeks ago. I got to thinking about all those people who were displaced from Hurricane Katrina and, while everyone was supporting their immediate needs now, I was also thinking about what they would do for the holidays. I think many will just be getting back on their feet and will need to have 'cheer' sent to them. Yes, I'm already looking into how I can help. Things will need to be shipped out in November and shopped for in October so holiday planning is really not that far away.

I read lots of guestbooks, but I always start with yours. I say a little prayer in the morning when I open your journal...meanwhile you are an ocean a way and are well into your day. Kind of amazing how these computers on our desks allow us to go things like that. What I don't do consistently is drop a note in your journal. I always think I have to say something (long) interesting, but maybe I'll try to just say 'hi'!

No promises, but many thoughts,

Not sure what happened with my posting from last week...I'm always talking about the weather in my postings and the last posting was no different. Only it talked about the weather being a very powerful force (Hurricane Katrina) and how it impacted more than the states it actually hit. Well the 'powers that be' in computer world lost it! Oh well, the devastation and impacts (throughout the United States) continue...I'll post something for you later in the week.

Hi Cassie,
Just wanted to touch base and let you know I'm thinking of you.
I think I mentioned our bit of sad news here.... my little parakeet Misty Morning died last week. She wasn't sick or anything...just put the two of them to bed per usual, only one woke up. Poor Sunflower has been beside himself with grief. Since he's a fella, they advise against trying to remate him (females will much more easily recieve another mate or a female friend...not so with the guys...can only be another female, and if he doesn't bond, he'll hurt her)...so anyway, I got him a special food dish with a huge mirror and a motion detector. Whenever he eats, it will tweet and twitter... and that seems to be helping. Also, of course, am spending extra time with him, singing, talking and cooing.
Otherwise, we're inching along on this home front per usual.
Sending extra hugs your way.
Luv Ya lots, gal! Hope that small box gets there soon. It must have detoured via a slow boat to China...maybe visited South America first as well! It's nothing fancy, just wanted to let you know "you matter".
Blessings,
Lu

Well, I haven't written in a bit so I'll catch you up. Working, sleeping, eating...being an employee, a Mom, a wife, a daughter, a friend...was in FL, VA, MD and DC recently. Pretty DRY text huh? Let's try my normal dialog:
The great news is that my family and I were able to take a vacation to Washington, DC recently. First, I'm still blown away that you can be in Tampa, Florida (FL) and 2 little hours later you are in Baltimore, Maryland (MD)...the flight was uneventful (perfect)! We stayed in VA (Virginia) not far from the Metro (that is DC's version of the subway...clean, fast and safe). Each morning we had breakfast at the hotel (part of our room charge...it was a nice little buffet that was just what we needed to start our day) and then we drove a short distance to our Metro stop. We had the whole DC area to explore so some days we went right into DC and other days we went to MD and still others we picked another point in VA. Most days we went into DC and saw the various Smithsonian Museums or the memorials. The weather was very hot and humid so as much AIR CONDITIONING we could get we took advantage of. Sometimes we spent a whole day in one place and didn't return to the Metro until the end of the day. On other days we hopped the Metro several times to get to different locations. I wouldn't do anything without a PLAN, but this time I didn't plan out the whole week we were there. Each day we had an plan of those things that were in the same area (the same Metro stop). Then at the end of the day I asked what they wanted to do the next day. You can't get to everything you want in DC (and the surrounding area) in a week so you might as well do the things that everyone wants to do first. We lived in DC about 10 years ago (for 10 years) but our daughters were only 5 and 7 at the time. They really don't remember too much so this was a new experience with them (well lots have changed in 10 years so it was new for everyone). Can't say enough about how flexible our daughters were. Most mornings we got up early so we could eat and get out the door before the worst of the heat. Teenagers LOVE to sleep in so it was great that they were SO flexible...really no complaints. The other side of it was that we didn't have any really late nights so once we had dinner then we headed back to the hotel, showered and crashed (in our beds). They liked having a TV in their bedroom (we only have one TV in our Tampa home and it is in the Family Room) and choosing what they wanted to watch. I took lots of photos and although we lost one of our cameras we have many photos to fill many scrap books. The very best part was that we spent time as a family! I love my vacation time from work, but I love it even more when we can leave home as a family and play in a new area! The surprise at the end of the week was that one of my sisters and her family met us in Baltimore. My girls had no idea and we planned a day/time that our family would be arriving at the aquarium and just walk right past where my sister and her family were waiting. My sister was taking a photo and my girls initially didn't recognize her (and tried to side step and get out of the photo). They were so surprised to see their Aunt, Uncle and 2 cousins (they live about 2 hours away from Baltimore but made the trip so we could spend the last day of our vacation together)!

Getting dark in the middle of the day here in Tampa...more rains on the way,

Building an ark in Tampa, Florida (USA). The rain we have been getting in the afternoons has been nothing less than a 'show'. For a long time we just had rain, rain and more rain every afternoon. Now we have rain, thunder, rain, lightening, rain, more thunder and lightening...well, this continued into the evening! Sure glad I don't have an outside job as I'd be drenched every day. You know, there are people who don't mind walking around in wet clothes and there are others that can't stand it. Several years ago we went to an amusement park where there are water rides. When you went on the ride you got VERY wet. Some people can get off those ride and walk around in wet clothes all day...that is my one daughter and my husband. On the other hand, there is my other daughter and me. We like the water rides very much but then we have 2 choices: go on the ride with protective clothing (like a large, plastic poncho) OR change into dry clothes right after the ride. It is not a point of vanity, rather it is how uncomfortable the clothes feel when they are wet (and cling to the body...I'll leave it there). I'm also an old girl scout and can't stand anything but DRY SHOES!

So, you watching rain out your window or do we have all the rain in Tampa?

Take care,
Barbara

Lots of rain in Tampa, but lots of sunshine around it! Yesterday I got caught in a really big downpour. Would have loved to ride it out in my car, but I had to get to a building...I was DRIPPING wet when I got to the door of the building. My daughters thought it great fun to laugh and laugh at their mother. This morning I went to a discount department store and bought 7 umbrellas. There will be one IN each of the cars, one IN my purse, several to grab when we head out for a walk (I also got these ones that fold up REAL SMALL for my daughters to take in their purses or backpacks). Now, I'm not a witch (like in the Wizard of Oz) so the (rain) water didn't MELT me, but I had somewhere else to go and I had to go home first and put on dry clothes. Rain is a fact of life, but if I can put a $3.00 umbrella between the worst of it and me then I have a chance! I'd rather have rain than snow and sleet ANY DAY!

Hope this finds you dry and happy with your family,

Hi Cassie! Hi John and Janet!
Happy Day my friends! Smiles and hugs to you 3 (group hug-grin).
Thought you'd like to rejoice with me: I finished all my ceramic Pillar/vase Angels I've been making for my conference! Hip, hip, Hooray! It was really a fun and exciting process. Some look serene, some rather impish, others sweet/cute. Definitly had some Divine Inspiration!Should have my cards finished by weeks end. (WOW: It's all really happening, falling into place, health holding out...yipee!) I'm also writing a story to tell in the coffee shop one evening...if it turns out good, I'll send you a copy.
I'll take you with me in spirit...and definitly include you with my annual "Deer date" at 2 am. I provide the apples, and the deer gift me with their presence. The first year a Stag visited...thought I was in the movie "Bambi"...awesome siloett. The doe and fawn have eaten out of my hand...but most often prefer to stay about 5 feet away...breathtaking.
Well dear friends, my fingers are going every which way, so I better close for now.
Much love and support to you all.
Until next time,

Cassie,
Another week and those sunny skies have returned to Tampa, Florida. It did rain LOTS last weekend, but we avoided it and only had to watch the great downpour from inside where ever we were at. This weekend it is going to be hot and humid.

My oldest daughter (17) flew back from her trip to Spain. She has already left for work. One of her pieces of luggage is still on the trip. Hopefully today they will find it and all of her dirty clothes can be washed!

My other daughter (15) has been doing her Summer homework and will return to volunteering next week...then my husband leaves town on business...everyone is in motion!

Anyhow, take care and know that I'm always thinking of you and your family,

Hello, from not-so-sunny Tampa, Florida. Usually I'm telling you about the bright sunny skies we have...well today (most of this week) we've seen rain, rain and more rain. Today's rain has a name: Arlene. Yes, Tropical Storm Arlene (the first in the hurricane season) won't hit Tampa, but we WILL receive lots of rain. It is to rain through the weekend. Let's put it in perspective: it isn't Hurricane Arlene! We'll get out this weekend and take cover if we have to, but we'll make the most of it. You HAVE to its the WEEKEND!
Thinking of you as I watch the rain cascade off the garage roof right outside my window,

Thinking about you…hoping the sun in coming through your window and finding you smiling. My daughters have big smiles on their faces because next week is the last week of the school year. They have final exams to contend with, but then 9th and 11th grade will be sweet memories. I know the first thing they will enjoy is not getting up at 5:30am each morning…I won’t miss the alarm at that time either. The sun will be up in the sky by the time they awake for their summer routines…that will be strange!

Know the I pray for you and your family every day. Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care,

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Just about one more month of school then we start our 'Summer Schedule'. My daughters are away a bit longer during the day, but they have more 'play' than studying. Also, I get to start planning for our vacation. We've decided to travel to Washington, DC for a week. We lived near there for 10 years before moving to Tampa, Florida about 10 years ago. Our girls were both born and lived there, but since we moved when they were 5 and 7 they don't remember all the places we went to. It is a place with lots to see and I know they will enjoy it. I also am looking forward to re-discovering places and hitting a few new places (now that the girls are older).
Warm breezes here, how about where you are?

Hi Cassie! (Hi Janet and John, too)
Just wanted to touch base and let you know you're in my thoughts tonight. Was out of stamps, so that's why there's been a bit of a lull... they arrive tomorrow and your mail is waiting!
Someone gave Pandy a new squeeky toy and does she ever love the power and control she gains by making it sqawk... I, on the other hand, forsee myself hiding it on occassion (grin. I think it's one of those toys that has limited mommy-nerve time. She absolutly loves it thou, prancing around the house carrying it around. She's even invited me to squeek it a time or two by tapping it gently against my leg. So, I join in with a squeek and then throw it. (we've done this 5 times as I've written this) So, a new game has been invented! Got an arm I can borrow? I forsee her wearing mine out, SOON (laugh). The birds are churbling their evening song happily as I type.
That's it for around here. Sending lots of love and support.

Hello, hello Casablanca! :D

Wow, it's been so long - too long - since I've been to your guest book! I miss you! I'm just so busy, I really don't have much spare time at all. Especially these past two months. I've been on turbo hyper over drive! Lol! But pretty soon things will calm down a little bit (I hope!) - at least to the point where I have more than one night a week free without any social activity.

Anyhoo, what's goin' on at the Johnson house? Over here, we're getting ready for Spring Break - which begins in two days! :D :D :D Mom and I are leaving for Flagstaff and Phoenix, Arizona, on Good Friday and we'll return the Friday after that. I promise I'll send you a post card (maybe a few! Lol! we've many destinations), and I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

But I've got to tell you about last night 'cause I know you'll love it. :) I was beheaded. Yes. :D I was inducted into the Social Studies Honor Scoiety, and they put on a little skit about the French Revolution. In order to get in, they had to cut off our heads. But the thing is, I was the first one to go up to do it, and of course the guillotine (sp?), which was made of heavy wood, broke, so instead of stopping at the bar where it was supposed to, it fell off and hit me on the shoulder! It really hurt! Then after that, we had to go over and stand behind a board they painted with poles on it, so it looked like our heads were on the poles. I go to such a humane school! Lol!

We're getting a new dog! We haven't gotten her yet, 'cause Mom didn't want to have to leave her for a week (for vacation) after we got her. I'm sure we'll go looking the weekend after we get back from Arizona. Mom's been wanting another dog for over a month, but I wouldn't let her get one until a little while ago when I finally gave in. I don't know what kind we'll get, since we're going to get her from the Humane Society, or how old she will be, but Mom wants a puppy. I do NOT. She's already decided what she'll name her though (unless of course she's to old to change her name) - Chili. She chose that because she got saved in Chili's the restaraunt. Real sentimental, Mom. Lol!

Anyway, the whole point of this was to say thank you for your Easter card. It's so pretty! Did you make it yourself? I like it a lot. And the magnet is awesome too. I think things that look very simple, without gaudy (sp?) decorations, have a special beauty that's incomparable.

I've been listening to my favorite song called A Little More by the band Skillet and I keep thinking of you. It has this one line that says, "Faith will find a way to the impossible." I love hearing that, not only because it's so true as I've seen in my own life, but it just gives me this awesome joy from God because I know that you will be healed too. You will walk again. It wouldn't even surprise me if you got back into swimming again. You have so much in store for your future. I just can't wait to see how God will continue to change your life. Dare to dream! The future has no limits with God. Your life will be amazing. I'm so excited about your life! Lol! Isn't that carzy? I don't know what's in store, but I know that if you're faithful in doing all that God asks of you in His Word, then He will surely work miracles in your life and others. You can change lives.

Well I've got to go. I need to vacuum, clean the kitchen, work out, and pack for our trip. Ahh, what fun. I'm going to try to get on here more often. I'll see you later. God bless you.

Mini giftie on it's way. I need to know what size you are... have something I'd like to order and have sent to you... if that's ok with you.
I bathed Pandy and blow dried her fur. She looks like a fluff ball and smells like shampoo and cream rinse. Tomorrow the birds get a shower! Then Mommy (that's me) gets Monday off!!!

Thanks for the update! Wonderful celebrations...what would we be without our Mom and Dad?

I know you must be excited about your new 'friend'. You've been very open and wonderful to the people on this website so I'm sure you'll hit it off with this new person. Be sure to say 'hi' from the guestbook people.

Warmer day in Tampa. It was sweater weather for several weeks (and a light coat needed here and there). Today the breeze is warmer (not warm, but not cold).

Congratulations on the sit-up! Well here in the states we can an exercise where you 'sit up' a 'sit-up' (from a lying position...you do it over and over). Sounds like you're doing that in England. It is a great exercise!

Take care,

Hi Cassie,
Glad to hear you are doing a little better. That's exciting news to hear that your sister got married. And the little party at home for you, and them, sounded like fun!
Have a real good week.

Cassie,
So very happy to hear from you...concern had turned into worry, but that was quickly dissolved this morning when I read your entry.

Congratulations to Jesamine and Ewen! Can you post a photo or 2 from the wedding party at home? I wish her many years of happiness. I've been married for over 20 years and just love it! Since I've been married for more than the 21 years Jes is old...I'd best not comment about her getting old.

Both of my parents had cataract surgery. It went well for them and was very successful. Sorry to hear she had problems. I hope her eyes are better soon.

I hope the bug you had (in November) has found another home...far, far away! I like hearing from you even if it is a short entry.

I love to do crafts. Let us know how the embossed cards are coming.

You have tough decisions to make on your meds. I've sure you don't want to add any new (bad) reactions. I have to tell you, as I have in the past, I'm inspired how families with all these big decisions to make rise up to the task! Some of us plot along with simple decisions (well simple decisions compared to the ones you need to make) and we are humbled by the decisions you are faced with. I hope you won't have to spend lots of time in the hospital...I like the comforts of my own home.

Take care and know that I'm thinking about you,
Barbara

Hooray Cassie: A new update and picture (even if it is older)! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for using some of your precious energy to check in and let us know a bit of how you and your family are. Congrats to your sis! Hope your Mom's eye heals pronto! Hope you and your Doctors are able to think clearly and choose wisely whatever is best for you. You definatly have support from GA, whatever you all decide together. You are an amazing gal! Thanks again, as I have a bit of a clue about energy and choices... doing one thing means something else doesn't get done. Hope whatever got bumped doesn't create too much of a void for you. Again: Hooray! I feel like you turned a light on for those of us out here. Doing a mini dance of delight in appreciation for you and your life.
Keep hanging in there my friend! Folks here will be thrilled to know you've touched base.
Blessings and Shalom,

Hi Cassie!
I take it from your picture, that you like red (wonder what gave me a clue??? the walls? rug? sheets? quilt?-Laugh of delight). Do you STILL like red? What other colors do you like? What else do you like (?Butterflies?Dolphins?Eagles?... that kind of thing... need some clues here to send better/tailored just for you snail mail cards and such). Thanks for having your Dad write and say you'd begun recieving the deluge of Valentines. Glad you liked them. You are dearly loved my friend. Any chance you could have someone update your page with how you're doing these days, what's new, what isn't? What your latest challenges and interests are? You've got a wealth of folks out here rooting for you and cheering you on!
Much love and support from one of your many friends,

A 3 day weekend for some people. My daughters have a dozen plans and I'll be lucky to see a car in the garage (for my use) the whole weekend. I've got food and water so I'll be fine...I can also pedal my bike as far as I want! Hope the winter is not to harsh for you!

Cassie,
It is truly amazing the connections CaringBridge can make...get your map out for this: My whole connection to CaringBridge came from a little girl in our church who had cancer. Taylor Johnson was a little angel on area (she has since become an angel in heaven). In reading Taylor's website (Tampa, Florida) I found a little girl in Winnipeg, Canada named Julianna (Banana). Julianna made a connection with someone in Pflugerville, Texas...if you look on her website you'll see they even made her an 'official' citizen of their town. Last week a young boy in Pflugerville earned his angel wings (his name is Garrett). So the connect was from Tampa, Florida to Winnipeg, Canada to Pflugerville, Texas. Well yesterday I was talking to someone I work with who is in Austin, Texas. He tells me about taking his wife out to dinner in Pflugerville...well, I mention that a little boy from there had just gone to heaven. My colleague in Austin tells me that another one of our colleague's son was best friends with Garrett. It sure is a small world! I've since communicated with that second colleague and his wife and they didn't know that their son's friend had a website on CaringBridge...I sent them the link and told them how I'd make these connections. It is really something!

So how are things in your part of the world? Hope this finds you doing well.
You are thought of often,
Take care,
Barbara

Hi Cassie,
Just came by to share a bit of hot tea on this chilly night, and to sing a prayer~song with you.
Some friends joined me in a mini flood of Valentine's to you... imagine you've begun to get them by now. Would have been more, but didn't want to overwhelm you.
You are loved and thought fondly of by many, many folks. Sending good wishes your way.

Thinking of you from Tampa: Oh, I so live for the weekends! I wonder, when this career is over, if I'll look back and miss it? Will I long for something constructive to fill my days or will I replace it with other 'constructive' things? I know myself: if there isn't a list, a plan and a calendar then I am not fulfilled. Even during my ‘non-work’ hours I have to have things planned. I get paid for ‘planning’ for my company…will I be happy to plan just for me, myself and I? Well, I will have my husband and my daughters and grandchildren…guess I’ll be busy all just the same! Now that I’ve babbled on and on, how are you and yours today? Sure like to hear how things are going…drop us all a line!
Take care,

Hi Cassie,
Just thought we'd sit together in the quiet for a bit, share a cup of hot chocolate (I've got a zillion mugs to choose from...grin, any preferences?) and start the day together.
Hope you have a song in your heart to carry you through the roughest places...it's one of the things that helps me thru MS exhaustion and pain.
Sending loving support your way... picturing you surrounded in healing golden and purple light.
Hang in there. You matter! You are loved. Blessings!

While many are hit hard with the snow of winter, in Tampa, Florida it is sunny and bright. I can see it from my window (I work from home). It was foggy this morning but that has burned off. Now just to convince the hurricane to bypass Florida...

Hey Cassandra,
Guess what?? I am also 18 years old and I also have M.E! I have only been sick though for about 2 1/2 years. I find your story amazing. I had never got so sick to have to stop going to school and geting a education I almost did. The school allowed me to go part time for 2 or 3 classes. I hope you are doing well. If you want to get in touch with me just to chat that would be great. I am currently going to a University so I might take a few days to get back to you. oh yeah and check out my page sometime if you get the chance.

Can't beat the weather in Florida this time of year. Hurricanes seem to be behind us as is the very hot weather. It gets dark a whole lot earlier but then we just 'changed the clocks'. Got to watch the sun (sunburn if you get tricked into thinking the breeze will cover you).

Hola chica! :D

What's up? Not too much around here - tonight, at least! ;) School wasn't too bad today, in fact it was pretty fun! (That hardly happens! Lol! But it is nice to actually be there, unlike last year - praise God!)

And speaking of school, I'm so excited about next week! :) First of all, we get Thursday and Friday off, and on top of that I get half of Wednesday off to take the PSAT. Woo-hoo!

Sometime next week will be my interview for this thing I'm hoping to do through school. It's a leadership seminar for tons of sophmores all throughout Ohio. It sounds like it will be pretty fun - assuming I get to go! Only one sophmore from each participating school is chosen, so hopefully it will be me. :)

But also next week, on my time off, I'm going to get to go over to my grandparent's house, which is awesome since I almost never get to go there anymore. (I make a great deal of my money there, so it will be nice to not be broke - for a while! I already have plans to spend it on either Christmas gifts or on a Christmas trip I'm going to pay for so a bunch of the teens at my church can go swimming over our Christmas break.)

Well, I gotta go for now. I hope you are well! :) God bless.

Hola chica! ~

My email had been pretty messed up lately, so I just got your ecard. Lol! Thx! I can honestly say I was short one of those! Lol! ;)

There's been so much going on lately. Two Mondays ago we didn't have school, so I was free to go to a teen advisor training session. As a teen advisor I'll get to go to all schools in our district and teach about drug prevention and other drug related stuff. It sounds like something I'll like, but I didn't even go to the original meeting that told all about it, so I'm not exactlly sure! I think the only major problem will be working it into my busy schedule.

I'm going to be discipled starting next Tues. I'm really stoked about that. :D Can't wait! My mentor is the senior pastor's wife, Wanda. She is an awesome lady, and I'm sure I can learn a lot from her.

We (Mom & I) have our second Bible study tomorrow. The topic is on the fruit of the Spirit. So I need to finish my homework and read Galatians before the morning!

Tomorrow is also Mom's dicipleship mentor's wedding. I'm really excited about that since I haven't been to a wedding in eight years! It should be fun.

Last Friday Mom and I went down town to a place called Better Way Ministries. We served food to the homeless. I really liked it. It's such a reminder how much God has blessed us. We're going to start going regularly every fourth Friday of the month, as that is the night our church supplies most of the volunteers.

Guess what?!! I got to go to a tennis game two Mondays ago! I was SOOOO happy!!! :D :D :D It was a lot of fun. You could tell I had been out of the game for quite a while, because it seemed to me that everyone on our team was doing very well, but for being so late in the season, I guess I was wrong! My friends won, but they said that everyone was doing pretty bad. ... I miss my sport! I want to play it so bad! I totally would, if I only had the time. Right now that's not possible. Maybe in the winter things will slow down a little. Hopefully.

Last Saturday ws homecoming and guess what? I didn't go! I couldn't believe I decided not to, but we had a packed day, as usual, so I would have had to have gotten up at 6:15 that day, not gotten to bed until at the very earliest after midnight and then get up the next day at 6:30. To me, with a great lack of sleep already (because of so many things going on) it wasn't worth it. Plus I've never heard ANYONE ever say that it was fun. A lot of people show up drunk, so that's not really my atmosphere. i still would like to make it to at least ONE though, so there's always next year.

Another guess what? I'm not elligable (sp?) to take any college classes this year! I was so mad! I worked very hard to become elligable just to find out that because our class is the first one to take a new test and not have to take the old one, that I would no longer be elligible until the colleges change their pollicies(sp?). So this year it's out, but I don't know what I'll do next year. Senior year, though, I'm seriously considering going to Mount Vernon Nazarene University and living on campus all year anf just taking all my classes there. That would be nice.

Today I ordered my class ring. The tennis pictures were all really ugly, so I decided juat to go with a cross and 2007 logo. It's white gold with a blue (is that called a saphire?) stone, which is September's birthstone. The stone is india cut (like you know what that means!) and on the inside instead of putting my signiture, I wrote Tbird! :D

I'm going to take the PSAT. I don't know if you take SATs in England or not, but here it's a pretty big thing. It's a test that colleges look at when considering if you're good enough to get into their school. The one I'm taking this year is the PreSAT. (Although I don't know why I can't just take the SAT because in seventh grade the school let us take a test run of the real thing.) It'll be nice to get some more practice. In seventh grade I scored in math higher than somewhere around 14-17% higher than graduating seniors and in English I scored about 43% higher than the same people. So I've got to make a little improvement! But I've learned a lot - especially not to guess on questions you don't know the answer to if it won't count against you if you ommit them! Lol!

Today we got our interums(sp?). I need some work in History because I got a B. But 90 of the 130 points of that grade is from a single test, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I got a B on it. But I have four more weeks to bring it up.

We also got our pictures today. *groans* They were terrible. I look REALLY bad. I have to get retakes. The only problem is the damage is already done as far as the yearbook is conserned - that's the one that will be in it. :(

Other than that, school isn't so bad yet. Today on the test in math class my teacher was a nerd and made fun of me. I didn't mind too much though.

Well, sorry so short (*winks*), but I gotta go read for the Bible study. See you later!

I hope you are well. God bless. :)

Things are pretty busy this week, even moreso than usual. Today is actually my only "free" day. **Sigh** It's fun though! :D I couldn't be happier. (Well, not unless my best friend came home from boot camp and decided not to go into the navy. :( Oh well. It's not my place to make that choice.)

I hope you are doing okay. I'm praying for you. :) God bless.

Hola chica! ;)

How have you been, missy? I'm pretty good here, aside from a cold. :/

School is going okay. I'm so happy because I don't think I've had a complete week of school yet! (Well, maybe 1, but I'm not sure. Can't remember!) This week I get 3 classes off tomorrow because of an orthodontist appointment. I'm not too thrilled about the appointment, but it's better than having to be at school since I'll have time to tan tomorrow! Woo-hoo! I haven't been able to do that in quite a while - which kind of sucks since Homecoming is very soon. (So excited! :D)

The rock climbing @ school I told you about went down last week. It was fun. Not my favorite, but anything to get me out of class for a while! Lol! ;)

Well I gotta go. I need to send you a card soon to ask you about something, but I'm not sure when I'm gonna have time. Hopefully soon, though.

I hope you're well. :) God bless.

Well the hurricane (Frances) missed a direct hit to Tampa. But unlike Hurricane Charley that missed several weeks ago, the rain and wind with Frances were bad. The whole state of Florida was 'hit' with Frances. We had rain and wind non-stop Saturday and Sunday. To think it was just the outer band of the hurricane and then only a Tropical Storm. So very happy that we are only left with flooding (several roads in the area).
Hope this finds you with sunny skies,

Waiting for big rains (well a hurricane) again in Florida. The schools are closed. In our case it is because they are used as emergency shelters, so people evacuating from other parts of Florida (other counties) can come here for safety. Things are sunny in Tampa right now (it is Friday morning) and my daughters are taking advantage of 'no school' and sleeping in.

Thinking of you and hoping that we can hear something. Each day I visit your site and enjoying your lovely smile.

Take care and stay dry,

To all of my friends
where ever you may be
some are close by
and others far away across the ocean
we may not speak the same langauge
but in our hearts we understand
We fight the same fight
for this precious treasure called life
We are determined to be brave
even in the face of dire circumstances
We are there for each other
holding each other close
even if only in our hearts
the love and the strength we give
is stronger then any
We are bound by these ties
of circumstance
of fate
I pray that your days be filled
with remembering the simply things
a sunrise
the way the wind blows across your skin
a smile, a hug, a simple word of comfort
I cannot make it go away
but I pray that for that moment
it fades
and a rainbow peeks through
to let you know
You are prayed for, thought about, and loved much today

This past weekend we painted and redecorated the girls rooms. Gone is the off-white walls and welcome are bright rooms with new linens. Lots more to do, but we'll give the sore muscles a rest.

Another week (this one a 'work week' as opposed to a 'vacation week' like last week) and I'm so looking forward to the weekend. Busy time packing all our bedrooms as the flooring in all of them are being replaced early next week. I'm a 'saver' (I call them my 'collections') so I'm going to have a very busy weekend!

School starts next week in Tampa. Both my daughters will be in High School (9th and 11th grades). They have been busy this summer volunteering and will have a couple of days off before...up at 5:30a and out the door by 6:30a! Guess I shift my work schedule to match it!

Hi Cassie!

Stopping by to say "hello" for the first time through your guest book. While I was looking through previous visitors' entries, I was marveling at the beauty of all the pics that Keara has been sending your way. Keara, I know I've told you before, but you do find some of the most beautiful pictures to send out!

Cassie, it sounds like you have some concerned friends and cyberpals with big hearts who are very interested in finding out how you're doing. If you don't feel up to typing up a report yourself, maybe you could dictate to someone else who could type in a journal entry for you.

Prayers and hugs of support to you and your family,

If I Could....

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue
If I could I’d build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could I’d take your troubles
I would toss them into the sea
But all these things I’m finding are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there.



Praying for you today and always,

Hope the sun is shining where you are...it is bright in Tampa! Rains a bit each day (sometimes a little shower and sometimes an intense downpour), but we never complain about the rain! (You remember when it doesn't rain!)
My prayers are with you and your family,

CASSIE: Wish you lived close to us as two doors up our friends have a wreath by their front door. Robins built a nest in the wreath & yesterday 4 hatched ...... they are so cute to watch!! Plus we have a baby bunny that comes about 6 each evening to munch on our grass. I'm sure you'd love watching all this :O)
