They are the priceless things in life for which no one can pay, And the giver finds rich recompense In giving them away. ~Helen Steiner

Dear Louise-Ruth,

     What a lovely poem.  I think I'll add that one to my collection.  Thank you very much!

     I just added a new YouTube video to my lds.net page.  Have you ever seen the Kings Firecrackers perform?  Well, they're absolutely wonderful.  For some very "high energy" entertainment, take a look!

Dear Louise-Ruth,

     Thank you so much for sharing the link about Wartburg.  I very much enjoyed the virtual tour of the castle.  The architecture is most beautiful and uplifting.

     Again, thank you for sharing that!  Have a wonderful Sabboth.

Even as a child it was my dream to visit the Wartburg, where Martin Luther translated the Bible . We live in West Germany and East Germany, the DDR was a dictatorship, not a free country in which they could travel easily Tourist as Tourist . Only those who had relatives living there, traveled there in DDR times paid admission to DM 5 per day have to pay if you wanted to go there. Now this is all past . Well this year it was possible and we have spent weeks there, beautiful in Eisenach. The castle, It had presented to me just as I thought old and the room where Martin Luther supposedly lived and worked a castle room. Still, it was fascinating to be there one can feel the breath of history. http://www.wartburg-eisenach.de/frame_sts.htm So we were back in time to participate in our city in the vaccination of the state government. My husband and I be vaccinated against swine flu on Wednesday. We are in good shape, we have no side effects, hope it stays that way. We have not worked up till now , because we were not supposed to work and now I will begin to get rid of our carpet of leaves from the lawn it's all wonderfull in the most beautiful gold color tones look very nice, but gotta go. I have looked at your website and beautiful flowers, you make wonderful things I wish I could that do too. Many greetings and stay healthy Louise Ruth

Dear Louise-Ruth,

     Hello!  Wonderful to hear from you.  I'm so glad you enjoyed your vacation.  And to be able to visit such a historical and spiritual (in my opinion) site.  That must have been so nice.

     Things here have been ablaze with color also, but I think the rain today will probably take down most of the leaves from the trees.  We've had a lot of rain this past month.  We don't always get much rain in October.  The skies are usually very clear and blue.  We've had a few days like that, but the rest have been surprisingly overcast.

     About you lds.net page.....If your children have computers, perhaps they can help you to post a background picture on your page.  I don't have certain computer accessories either - I have to use my father's scanner in order to put pictures on my background so I know what you mean about how it can be hard sometimes trying to figure out how to do certain things.  But I'm glad you enjoyed my page.  Mums are so colorful when they bloom in the Fall.  It seemed like the perfect picture to represent all the beautiful things that Fall can be.

     Well, the Sabboth has come again.  I like Sunday.  I wish we had more days like it in the week.  It just doesn't seem like enough time to have only one day of rest in a week, but I'm grateful for what the Lord has provided for us.  LOL

     Have a wonderful day!

Dear Louise-Ruth,

     How are you this evening (actually morning for you)?  Hopefully all is well for you.

     Things have been quite calm for me today.  That's been good.  I've been using Facebook to try to locate a few old friends and relatives.  I think I found a relative down in Florida.  He would actually be a 4th cousin, once removed from me.  LOL  Still, I think it's fun to get to know all these people if they're willing to do so.  I've already gotten in touch with a 6th cousin, once removed who lives out in the Salt Lake area.

     I took a few minutes to re-decorate my page as well.  I now have bright orange and yellow mums displayed as my background picture.  It's very cheerful looking.

     Take care and have a wonderful evening!

Hi there Louise-Ruth!

     This is a lovely picture.  I went to the gallery website, too.  Very nice!

     So, how are you today?  We've been quite well.  We had a very nice day at church yesterday.  The talks were about service - both the service we give and the service we receive.  It's very true that Heavenly Father does many good things for us every day.

     Today I must get lots of work done so I can't tinker on the computer too much.  But I'm very happy that I was able to get a new computer over the weekend.  My other computer has died.  I'm not complaining because it was 13 years old.  LOL  It definately gave good service and has been reliable for a long time, but not it's just worn out.

     Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hi Louise-Ruth,

     How are you this evening?  Here, of course, it's 6 o'clock in the morning.  Our little dog, Bear, is looking for his breakfast. 

     We're enjoying some slightly cooler weather right now.  Perhaps it will stay this way for the County Fair.  It's coming up in just a few more days.

     We hope all is well for you and yours.  Take care.  We hope to hear back from you soon.
