Just me, Myra: Good and not so good.........and back to good....no tears!

I wish I could fix how the typing goes when I post with pictures. I used to be able to type beside the picture, now I can't and I haven't figured it out yet how to get back to being able to do that, so it will just have to be this way for now. I have the picture of the Easter Bunny on here because it is getting closer to Easter. As it does, I want to remember why we have Easter-- it isn't for the bunny or the candy either. Easter is a dual time in many ways. It is a time when the Greatest Man who ever lived was violently killed. But that death was part of a plan. That plan makes it also a joyous time because of His death, He rose again and provides salvation for us if we want it.

And this picture is just to remind us that spring is only 10 days or so away........it feels like it is already here. Just remember, a few years ago we had days like this and then ice storms and the power was out for days.......

And this little lady is Miss Livvy. She was here today showing off. She "talks" all the time. Dada is about all you can understand for the most part. She is 10 months old now. Can't believe it! She is pulling up and has turned loose a couple of times. I think she might be the earliest walker of all the grandbabies. We will see. And compare the pictures below. Who do you think that is? I will tell you at the end of the blog. Looks a lot like Livvy to me.....but it isn't. And no, it isn't me either.

Now, the picture below is my niece. She lives in Ohio. Today my cell rang. It was Britty. She and a friend of hers had made a trip here from Ohio. It was unexpected and very good to see her. She has grown up. She is engaged to be married. Right now the plan is to wait until she is finished with school. We will see. She is planning to be a nurse. I wonder why. (Her mom is a nurse too).

Now for the not-so-good. I don't know who the thief is around here, but if we catch that person whoever it is, it will not be good. I don't know if the thief knows it or not, but their latest escapade can be considered grand theft since the combination of what was taken was over $1000.00. Now missing is both Rick's tillers which I hope whoever has those their hands burn off, my pressure washer, some car equipment.......One day when you enter my garage mr. thief, you will meet someone you didn't want to meet. You had better stop taking what I have worked for and get yourself a job. Either you are too lazy to work or too much into drugs to work but whatever the reason, you had better stop bothering me. Just because my husband died doesn't give you the reason to take what you didn't work for. I worked for that along with Rick and Nick. God knows who you are. You will have to answer for your crimes (and stealing is certainly a crime) just as we all will one of these days. You may get away with it here, but there is coming a day when you won't get away with it any longer. Stay off my property. Stay out of my garage and my home. I would almost bet I know you.......or who you are anyway. You never know when I may invest in a deer camera to catch you. And you won't even know you are caught until the police come knocking at your door. And the camera(s) will be well hidden. You won't even know it is there. How do you think they catch where deer are? Deer never know their photo has been taken. Beware! Know that if you needed and asked, I would give you what I have if I could. But steal from my family and me and I will do whatever I can to find you, I love you but I think you need to be punished for what you have done.

Mark 16

¹And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
²And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
³And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
⁴And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
⁵And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
⁶And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
⁷But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
⁸And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
⁹Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
¹⁰And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
¹¹And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
¹²After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
¹³And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
¹⁴Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
¹⁵And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
¹⁶He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
