Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
True dreams should never be forgotten, not really.....
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPJJKVt5-Y - Forgotten Dreams - Leroy Anderson - gorgeous video!
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy_Anderson:
...In 2006, one of his piano works, "Forgotten Dreams", written in 1954, became the background for a British TV advertisement for mobile phone company '3'. Previously, Los Angeles station KABC-TV used the song as its sign-off theme at the end of broadcast days in the 1980s, and Mantovani's recording of the song had been the closing theme for WABC-TV's "Eyewitness News" for much of the 1970s...
HEALTH UPDATE:
From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 01/02/16:
| Update: Yesterday I made
big improvements, so much so that I will graduate to the step down ICU
this afternoon. I am grateful for all the love, prayers and support from
all my friends and my family. Truly the Lord has been mindful of the
prayers and pleas in my behalf. I believe He has heard them all.
They started me on a new medication today and if all goes well I hope to be able to go home in a couple more days. Thank you all so much! These words have played in my mind this morning, "I feel my Savior's Love, in all the world around me. His Spirit warms my soul..." |
Thank you, Susan!
So glad you're feeling better!

THIS DAY IN WWII:
|
January 03, 1944 - Top Ace Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington was shot down in his Corsair by Captain Masajiro Kawato flying a Zero.January 03, 1945 - U.S. General Douglas MacArthur was placed in command of all U.S. ground forces and U.S. Admiral Chester W Nimitz was placed in command of all U.S. Naval forces in preparation for planned assaults against Iwo Jima and Okinawa in Japan. This event effectively ended the concept of unified commands. |
THIS DAY IN 1966:
| Monday, January 03, 1966 - Apparently, nothing at all happened anywhere in the world today..... |

This has been around before but the message should be reviewed and
remembered. We will not know until we meet our Creator how much we
helped others and how much more we could have helped others by simply
doing what is right when called upon to do so. John Just Stay A nurse took the tired, anxious uniformed serviceman to the bedside. "Your son is here," she said to the old man. She had to repeat her words several times before the patient's eyes opened. Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, the old man dimly saw the Marine standing outside of his oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lit room, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. After a couple hours, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile. He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the room, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - - the clanking of moving equipment, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the occasional cries and moans of the other patients. Now and then the nurse heard him say a few gentle words. The old man said nothing, just held tightly to his son's hand all through the night. At dawn the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to the the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited. Finally she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her. "Who was that man?", he asked. The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered. "No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life." "Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?" "I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son and his son just wasn't there. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed his son, I stayed." "I came here last night to find a Mr. William Grey. His son was killed in Iraq two days ago, and I was sent to notify him." "What was the gentleman's name who just passed away?" The nurse, with tears in her eyes, answered, "William Gray." ================================================================================= We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

BONUS CROCHET PATTERNS (To warm your grandchildren in January):
|
Kinga Erdem's
Tiptoe Slippers - "These little booties are the perfect slippers
for toddler feet. Soft and comfy, these Tiptoe Slippers feature
three colors. The combination on the example (white, green, and
pink) looks adorable, but they could be worked up in any colors.
They would be charming in holiday hues or in three shades of the
same color. If you plan on having your little one run around the
house in these, add some grip to the bottom with puffy paint or dots
of hot glue. Yarn can be super slippery." Kinga Erdem's Gumdrop Kids Hat - "Just because the winter months mean grey and dreary weather doesn't mean we can't add a splash of color to the world. This Gumdrop Kids Hat looks amazing with a medley of bright colors, especially pinks and yellows. Any little girl or boy would be thrilled to show this hat off on the playground at school. Although this free crochet pattern is a little more involved than other crochet hat patterns, it is well worth the extra work. Tight stitches make for a thicker, warmer hat. Plus, the comfy ear flaps protect little ears from the wind.": Stacey Lynn's Pancake Scarf - "Are you a breakfast person, and don't care who knows it? Then this Pancake Scarf pattern is perfect for you! Made with honey brown yarn, this silly scarf works up quickly, and will make an amazing conversation piece. The yellow butter circles added to every other pancake really make the scarf, transforming it from a brown scarf to a pancake lanyard. This free crochet pattern can be worked up to any length; just keep crocheting pancakes until you hit the desired length. This scarf makes a really unique gift. Consider giving it with a brunch gift certificate or pancake mix." |
