Such a Privilege...

As part of Black History Month my college celebrates Harmony Week. During this time we have guest speakers, wonderful celebrations, and interesting displays. I had the privilege of meeting and hearing a wonderful gentleman today. I will have to say he was one of the most inspirational speakers I have ever met. Rev. Samuel "Billy" Kyles was an eyewitness to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and is the only person still living to have spent the last hour with Dr. King. The Reverend Keyes spoke at the Logan Campus today and he filled my heart with joy and my eyes with tears. I cried over the injustices that he and his family had suffered and cheered for the message of hope he embraced. It was a wonderful day...

This makes me yearn for Summer...

Our Favorite Valentines

St. Valentine's Day

I had a wonderful St. Valentine's Day today! I received some beautiful flowers from my wonderful husband. He sent 3 red roses, 3 yellow roses tipped in red, and 2 snow white roses. All the people at the florist were intriqued by the special message he wrote on the back of the card. They could not figure out what it meant...See if you can read the back of the card below and decipher his special message...

If you could not read his hand writing on the above card it said:

3 red roses for our first fruits we had so early,

3 yellow roses for the next generation with bright eyes and warm smiles,

2 white for our love everlasting....

Any guesses to its meaning??

Also we went to an antique store and he bought me the lovely picture below to hang in the middle bedroom. Who do you think the picture reminded us of?

Biscuit Eater

My daughter-in-law Wendy believes in the hands on approach to learning. She is teaching all of her children to cook. She sat Wils up on the table and turned him loose. I only hope they turn out to be half the cook their mother is. She is a culinary master!

Amazing Verse...

I came across this amazing verse and I found it so uplifting...

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9
