lot of freedom

Ready, Set, Go ... Blog-A-Licious Blog Tour 4

And we're off on another Blog-A-Licious Blog Tour a fantastic blog hop that brings together bloggers of all genres, backgrounds and locations. Do stop by and say hello to the participating bloggers. I'm pretty certain some of us are even having giveaways and contests. Enjoy!

Tour Date - 2 July

Theme - What Does Freedom Mean To You?

Freedom is there such a place?

Is it a kingdom?

What is freedom?

Can you buy it?

What does it look like?

Where do you find it?

Freedom is a hand-me-down.

It is your inheritance.

You were born with it.

It is the second most sought after thing of value in the world only, love is worth more.

For the blind it is to see their face.

To the deaf it is to hear their voice.

For the weak it is to lift their fork.

For the lame it is to walk on their own legs.

To the oppressed it is to live in peace.

For the abused it is to live without fear.

You cannot buy freedom or sell it.

It is the life you were given.

It is the choice you make.

What Does Freedom Mean To You?

To me it is all the above and all you have read to get here, the world and the love I have for you my enemy, my friends.

Thank you and GOD bless you all!

If you have not search these for freedom.

Ocean shore or at the beach

image power by Google image

Standing here looking out at the abyss of time,

Hearing the dyeing rasp of moments pasted

Looking out at hues of blue a ribbon twine

Sands of time chasseing rainbows via waves that splash

The future and the pasted the moment linger here

White top cream of dreams comes by the sevens

 My soul rides the foaming firth to find a way to heavens

But touching earth I linger here my foot print disappear

The dreams restrained washed at my feet

Pushing back yet pulling forth

Have I taking root my toes have found a seat

Foaming cream of dreams a tingling broth

Twilight on Ocean shore stars twinkle amongst slumbers snore

Wakening fracture of dreams as do pass

The loom of the moon sews dancing sprites along the shore

Precious thoughts wane and soar of dreams love valor and more

Here is the list of participating blogs.

lot of don't

 lot of don’t

"Don’t let someone else's problems become yours” would you run into a burning house to save a person? People have all kinds of problem, some a simple as a thorn in their pinkie. One of the hardest things for me to do is to stand by and do nothing. Some years ago I watched as some people burn to death in a car accident. There was little I could do.  I was just a bystander not a fireman or a police officer. Had I been the officer at the scene I would have shot the people to stop their pain and suffering.  There were six people that I don’t know that live with me today, two adults and four children. The truck and camper over turned and burst in to flames. The fire department was on scene in less then a minute they were just across the street. Their problem became mine. There are problems that we can do nothing about, and there are the ones we have the answer to. I have been trained to be a search and rescue first responder. There is an old saying “when you save a life their life is yours”; any firefighter or police officer can tell you this is true.

Taking on someone’s problems can be saving someone’s life maybe yours. There have been many times I have help someone with a problem and found the answer to my own. It is out of love that we help others and love is the heart of our soul.

Just found a problem that was solved, we bought a new bottle of maple syrup, where they had addressed the drip problem. 

We had pancakes for breakfast. This was a wonderful solution to the drip problem.  I am still laughing best pancake breakfast I had in a long time. Here is the solution.

howdy have a nice day


thank you ha ha lol god bless

lot of string

This is one of those things that our ancestor the cavemen came up with and has not change mush since they first made it. They made fire, the club, the wheel, and the string.

Now string can be made of many different materials, from leather to wood fiber.  Just where would we be today without string? We could not keep our shoes on, and your clothing would fall off.  

A string can be a thread or a rope, and are very useful, now you might not want to try up your boat with a thread but a rope is good to catch a horse.

You can make a ball out of string and hit with a club, they call that a bat and they call that baseball. 

Now then I had a string of fish that was good eating and you catch them with a string. Our live can get unstrung, something or body untied the knot.  We do a lot with strings, make music, make a net or lace; they call that macramé all from tying string. You can tie up a package with string. I bet you can find a lot of thing to do with string.

Here are some kind of strings; there guitar strings, violin strings, apron strings, shoe strings, and kite string.  Now that’s one string I like yep, the kite string. You know it pulls back and so does a fishing string once in a while, and that a fun way to play with a string. There is also the game of cat’s cradle another fun way to play with string.

Now I have been told many times not to pull on strings but it fun you see. Down at the beach there is a lot of string that would fun to pull but I will leave that pulling up to Charlie, he can run faster than me.

So what are you going to do with your strings today?

The answer to yesterdays question is a fence.

Thank you for stopping by and have a fun day come back real soon God bless

lot another poem

This is a poem of a poem

You should never be without a poem

A poem maybe of home

Or some place you Rome

How do you hone a poem?

You use a shaping stone

Maybe a grinding wheel

If it is was made of steel

Poem of poem a riming riddle

Cooked on a griddle

With some fruit in the middle

Or maybe cheese a dream if you please

This fellar in Nome

Would never leave home

The freezing air

Has him stuck up there all a lone

Riddle on the griddle

Something in the middle

You may be prone to put butter

Maple or honey it’s just never known

What is it?

Leave your guess in the comments

Thank you and god bless

Lot of House

Lot of House

Normally this is a Friday's moment post and I normally try to have a spiritual post on Sunday. However yesterday was my granddaughter’ forth birth day. Her parents my son and daughter- in-law built her this play house. It was made from recycled material.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I cannot find one word or a thousand to tell this story, so I will let the pictures tell the story.

thank you and god bless
