I ask the Lord to bless you,

His love is always with you,
His promises are true.
And when you give Him all your cares,
You know He'll see you through.

Pass this along to People you want God to Bless...

@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my garage where the trains still run and something is in the air , could be dragons-People who have stopped into Nancy’s for coffee say that she seems unusually happy. She hasn’t been this happy since she chained herself to the old oak tree, and fought with the town. They say that she is humming when they come in and has a great big smile. She has even given out some free second cups of coffee. She is not acting at all normal. She burned a batch of saffron buns and didn’t seem upset. Seeing people happy tends to bother people who aren’t so Nancy has bothered a number of people who liked her old “normal” self.
Tommy, the undertaker’s kid, feels that his substitute teacher ,Eino’s wife, had no right to show his paper “ the edge of nowhere” to Eino. Isn’t there some kind of law that protects school children’s privacy. Yes! He got an A on the paper but that is not the point. How can he be free to express himself if the teacher is going to show his paper around to others. Eino didn’t help the matter either by telling Tommy he didn’t think the paper should have been written.
Tom, the writer, took his first Sauna yesterday. Nancy told him he had to try it. He went down to Jack’s and spent an hour. He said it was a good experience but he isn’t ready to go out and roll in the snow yet. But he does feel really clean. He also spent some time gathering sauna stories from Jack. There was old Mr. Rinntila who took a sauna every week until he died. In has last years the son brought him in in a wheel chair and carried him in to the Sauna. Rinntila claimed it took away some of his arthritis pain. Then there was the time when they thought the sauna was haunted . September 3 Jack has lots of sauna stories and Tom wants to hear them all.
Eino is having a great time in New York. He called Toivo and told him that at Ellis Island he even got to see a picture of the ship that Isoisä Jupola came over on. He is bringing a picture back for Toivo. He discovered that there was another Jupola that came over at the same time and he is wondering what happened to them. Just another mystery for poor Eino whose plate is already full.
Will Eino ever find out about the other Jupola? Will he discover the secret of the stone hermit? Will he crack the case of the dragon? And what about the White Rabbit? Will he ever know who put the device in Jack’s sauna? Is Tommy really the undertaker’s kid? Do these stupid questions ever get answered?

Today's link-My Knitting Machines and Me-Don't get too excited over the socks- Remember to leave the words Dr. John in the comment. Why? For old times sake.
Soon , very soon, the JCPOINTS will be history. Check yours HERE and what they can still get HERE.
Well another dull day at the fortress. I did a little blogging in the morning. I have to find new links you know. Then we went looking for furniture with Pennie. She didn't find anything she liked. We came back and played canasta. Betty and I lost. When we finished we discovered there were four extra jokers in the deck. I hope you keep praying for Chana. You can read her comment for the day and see what a big hearted lady she is. Now I need a breathing treatment.
