I've created today's tapes to tickle the fancy of my dear Sister-In-Law, Judy who is going through a lot right now. She and my brother have made a decision to downsize their life, selling their home of many, many years and moving into a big RV - a radical change in their life and lifestyle. They still have a young'un at home, my sweet niece Melissa - and this is really a big step for her. May God Bless you all during this time! I'm excited to hear the adventures God has planned for you, and how He may use your new lifestyle as a ministry! (Now get out there FISHING, Girl!)

I LOVE THIS TAPE...

Today's entry is another short one as I'm working diligently on a project (Yes, A. I'm cracking the creative whip over myself yesterday and today!) Shirley Shanley - I plan on publishing your layout tomorrow.

Thanks for sending me your lightening stories. I KNOW I've missed one or two - please forgive me. Dawn shared her lightening story with us:

"Not nearly as interesting as your friend's lightning stories (although I had a modem fried by lightning through the phone line. Weird because it went through Dh's puter first and didn't effect his but fried mine.): A couple weeks ago, we were getting a bit of a storm. At the exact same moment, we saw the lightning and heard the thunder (making my DD and myself jump & look at each other). My 17yo DS came downstairs to tell us he just saw the coolest thing: When the lightning hit, it apparently hit a pole across the street from us. No damage, fire, etc. but he said it was the "hugest" ball of fire he'd ever seen...and it was totally random that he happened to be looking out his window at that exact moment."

PRETTY CARNATION

I'm reading a good book right now, it's called Tree - A life Story by David Suzuki (illustrated by Robert Bateman) and it's just fascinating. I learned a neat fact about the Pink Lady Slipper flower from it:

Lady Slippers tempt bees into landing on it's big, overhanging lower lip of it's pink flower, whereupon the upper lip closes and traps the bee inside. The bee struggles to get out and as it does it bumps into the flowers anther stem, picking up a headful of pollen, which, after the bee gets away, may deposit it onto another flower. Pretty cool, hey?

I THINK THIS IS THE FLOWER
