Pink Saturday - October 31, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday

and

Happy Halloween!

This week we have one hundred fifty-five (155) participants in Pink Saturday. There are three new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list. Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday. All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink. Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community. I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people. Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday. If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment. I love reading what you all have to say.

Reminder - We have a weekly challenge for you to visit the blog of at least one participant that you have never visited before. Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post. Quite a few of you have been done this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants. Thank you for sharing with us.

Puzzle Friday

A puzzle for the

fun-lovers.

Come on and play.

These puzzles are fun,

and this one is easy.

Don't be "scared" to play.

My time was 4:01.

Yesterday I introduced you to my cousin, Mike, and asked that you go meet him. I'm including this in my post again today.

I want you all to meet my cousin, Mike. Actually, Mike is my cousin by marriage. He has been married to my cousin for twenty-four years. Wow! I had to open my genealogy program to find out just how long they had been married. It seems they will be having the famous silver wedding anniversary next time around.

Anyway, it seems like I've known Mike forever. And, I definitely remember the first time I met him. You see, I am 5'2" tall, and Mike is very, very tall. (Just how tall are you, Mike?) I just kept looking up and up, and there he was. My mother's family is what some might say "on the short side", and Mike seems very tall to all of us.

Mike loves my cousin, and that is important to me. They have four children, and they are grandparents, too. Young grandparents. Wink!

This weekend I received a telephone call from Mike about starting a blog, and ... he did it.

I am asking that you all go introduce yourselves to my cousin Mike. His first post is so moving; it is about his experience taking God into his life.

So, head on over to Mike at Finding My Religion. Be sure to say hello, and tell him I sent you. (I've already told him how nice you all are.) I believe he is going to have some important things to discuss with us in the future. Let's all help Mike get started toward a great blogging experience.

Whose Memories

Yesterday I mentioned that my husband and I had gone for a drive Sunday. When we saw this old and neglected home, I just had to take a picture to share.

We have all seen deserted homes, haven't we? I always wonder who lived here. Who worked this land? Did the children play in the yard until they were old enough to work in the fields with their parents? Can you envision the little boy swinging and playing from a rope tied to a branch high up in the tree? I can almost smell the scent of freshly baked pies - baked with apples from the apple tree just outside the door. Did the family pack a picnic and walk to the nearby lake on Saturday afternoons?

Just whose memories began here?

Morning Glories

Visit Sally at Smiling Sally

for Blue Monday.

Yesterday my husband and I went on a drive to view the gorgeous Autumn colors. And, look what we found. Morning glories for Blue Monday. These morning glories are covering a mailbox. I wonder how the mail delivery person manages?

When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder

Please visit Spiritual Sunday to fill your heart with joy.

This favorite hymn was written by James Black. He was calling roll for a youth meeting at his Methodist church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1893. The name of a young girl, Bessie, was not answered, and he was crestfallen at her absence. James commented, "O God, when my own name is called up yonder, may I be there to respond!" When he returned home, he went to the piano and wrote the words and music to this hymn.
