Blue Skies- for 5 minutes!!!

I've been trying for one hour to upload a picture- it's not working, so I'll publish anyway, and try again later.
Okay, I just got it up by going to Picasa2!!!

I saw blue in the sky today, rushed for my camera before it disappeared- it did- would you say those were cumulus clouds? Still don't get the fascination-
Mikki's been on my mind all day, after reading her post, and I couldn't help but think of the parallels with a story that Michael's mother in law shared with me when we were in Australia, talking about loss and pain- Her story was similar to Mikki's- Deanne and her first husband were childhood sweethearts, shared a deep love and two daughters-When Rebecca was 13, her father died of cancer- His illness had resulted in a spiritual quest, and after investigating several faiths, he became a Baha'i-Although his wife did not then share his beliefs, she honoured his wish to take their daughters to children's classes- and stayed with them to hear what they were being taught- Consequently, she met her now husband, Ross-a single parent for years, raising his son alone- She told me of a vivid dream she had of her first husband- pushing a baby carriage along the beach, smiling, and happy- didn't make a lot of sense until she found out she was pregnant- and feels strongly that her beautiful little girl, Ellie, was a special gift, from 'God and with the blessing of her first husband- In fact, she believes he lead her to find Ross---- Hope I haven't upset anyone by telling that story- then all the spinoffs- Rebecca goes to BC to do a year of service and who does she meet- My Michael- Now there are Amons on another continent!!! I just imagine us all sitting down in the next world, talking or blogging, about all the connections and how the ones who went before us were instrumental in shaping events in our lives- Hope there are computers in heaven!!!!
Today was Frank's day off- how does he spend a day of rest? The alarm goes off at 7:00am so he can get one of our 2 Toyota leased vehicles in for regular maintenance- then he rushes around town making payments to several of our creditors- finally paid off Citi Financial before the year was up- they hate that, because their interest rates are 28% HaHa- they were hoping we'd forget!!! He then spent the rest of the afternoon mowing lawns, picked up Austin at 4:00, took him out to eat , bought him a Dora computer game which they played until his mom came to pick him up--- Finally, he has a chance to watch the space channel while I blog away-Why is it just when you decide to have a moratorium on big ticket item spending, concentrate on paying bills off- your refrigerator rebels!!! It's groaning, grinding, screeching, squealing- get the idea??? Back to Rogers and another Citi Financial bill - no payments, no interest for one year- Frank thinks it 's the fan, and just maybe he can fix it- hope so, it's very dangerous walking into Rogers- all those sofas, lamp, appliances crying "Buy me!! You Know you need me" I would like to have a new stove with one of those microwaves that also acts as a range hood- would give me more counter space, for all the baking and cooking i don't do!!! Ok- I'll quit- you've got better things to do than read this drivel---- talk to you tomorrow-
