The activities of the birds is so much as people themselves arrange their lives.<BR/><BR/>I wanted also to let you know that I recently "met" Angela and through her discovered that we are neighbors as well. I had no idea that we lived just ten minutes apart. Because of Angela, I have discovered a whole group of Hughson women (and me in my Turlock outpost). Many blessings to you.Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-43143046343943172662007-03-22T21:45:00.000-07:002007-03-22T21:45:00.000-07:00O!

And "maintence meds" really just mean that they maintain her human body so that they can keep up with her healthy, vibrant, vivacious Spirit. And I can tell with how you write that your Spirit Soars! Try not to let it get the best of you because in reality contrary to popular belief "You're NOT only human!" =)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794368151343373086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-44471892922890362312007-03-22T17:29:00.000-07:002007-03-22T17:29:00.000-07:00Darlene, My dear blog friend!

I wish I could take on your danger in my body, for your faith has been tested as well as rejoiced in, and I want it all better for you. And I want it now! Looks like I get to endure patience and I wish I could do something to help. The photos were lovely.
