GOD'S ROBIN CREATURES AND ANNOUNCEMENT

My Mom use to say that if you saw a robin that ment Spring was just around the corner.  Well, I hope our spring is finally here.  These are some of the pictures I took of the robins on Easter morning.  I am still trying to get that Blue Jay.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have decided that I am going to take Sunday off.  All of us work on New York State of Mind sometimes seven days a week.  Sunday is the Lord's Day.  The Lord's Day of rest.

Now on Sunday's like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, and alike , I will have a post on, but on most of the rest of the Sunday's, I will rest.  Also, it gives us time if something comes and someone can't put on a post, to get someone else.  Mostly thought, it is the Lord's Day.

I hope you all understand.  It takes time to get everything on.  Although I enjoy, I do think we all need a day to rest.  Hope you understand.

Also, if anyone has any pictures, or recipes or a post they would like to put on that they think would interest others, let me know.  We use to have something on every once in a while that you folks out there would send, but I haven't had anything in a while.  Sometimes I would get a picture of the finished recipe someone had made of Jean's.  I haven't gotten any of those, either.  If you don't want your name on it - that's okay.  If anyone has anything contact me at: lincolnlady1121@yahoo.com  I am always looking for thing to put on.

Also, I didn't know if i should mention this or not.  I am not doing it for a pat on the back. But, just to give you a thought.  Mother's Day and Father's Day are coming up.  This year my Mom will be gone 20 years and my Dad 17 years.  I use to feel so bad that I didn't have a Mom or Dad to celebrate it with.  Then I came up with the idea to give another Mom or Dad  a gift on Mother's Day and Father's Day.  I found out there are a lot of people in this world whose children have passed away or live out of state or just ignore them - especially in nursing homes.  Most of the people I give to I don't even know.

I paid the breakfast bill for a lady in a restaurant.  We were sitting next to each other, both alone, and she told me her son had passed away and this was her first Mother's Day without him.  As I left before she did, I paid her bill.  The next time I came in, the waitress said the lady was thrilled.

A lady in the apartments I live in lost her son just a few weeks before Mother's Day.  I got her a gift and had the manager deliver it and not tell who it came from.  When I can't find someone, I go to a nursing home and ask if they could tell me someone who might not receive a gift on Mother's Day of Father's Day.  I have never not been given a person.  I get a gift, give it to the manager and they give it to the person.  I never want my name given.

I never buy anything expensive or fancy.  One nursing home lady wanted a stuffed animal.  Another time I sent someone a plant.  Something small that they know someone cares.  If they like candy, I get them a small box.  Just something small to let them know someone cares.

Just  thought, if you have a little extra money.  As I said, unfortunately, there are a lot of parents that don't get anything for Mother's Day or Father's Day.  It makes me feel good and I hope they enjoy whatever I give.  Just thought I would give you that idea.

Well I guess that's all I have to say in this post.
