… to be the web-eStamp "1"
because by using the WWW and E-MAILS (electronic mail):

• We "SAVE TREES" and "natural resources."
• It is an excellent means of communication: a way to express and create!
• We use it to transmit and share with others, exchanging interests, appreciations and concerns.
• It keeps us informed and connected as a human race thus helping to keep WORLD PEACE.

Babe…

This small budding flower with it’s soft petals and waving statens,
is like a baby reaching it’s arms to be loved.
A wonderful topic: “BABY” for this week, from Illustration Friday!

A “new baby” is like the beginning of all things, hopes and a dream of possibilities. Eda J. Le Shan

Memorial Day…

May 26, 2008 · 2 Comments

…originally called Decoration Day,
is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service.
National Moment of Remembrance
Encouraging individual Americans everywhere, to pause for one minute
at 3:00 p.m.
(local time) on Memorial Day, to remember and reflect on
the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all.

The wearing of the “red poppy” to keep faith began when an American, Miss
Moira Michael, read the poem “In Flanders Field” and was so greatly
impressed that she decided always to wear a red poppy to keep the faith. She wrote a reply  to this poem in
November 1918 entitled :
 “We Shall Keep the Faith”

Today, enjoy a “Day of Peace” with family, friends and strangers!

This little “flock of chippers” tweets you with a cheerful greeting today!

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there except those that sang best. Henry Van Dyke

Tomorrow a bit about gardening…
