WAITING AT HOME FOR US BINGO WAS QUIET.
I HAD CLIPPED HIS HAIR, HIS NAILS, AND GIVEN HIM
A BATH.    

I SPENT MUCH TIME IN THE WEEKS BEFORE WE 
WENT ON THIS TRIP TO TALK TO BINGO, BECAUSE
I WAS PREPARING TO "TAKE HIM" TO MY MOTHER
AND IF THAT DID NOT WORK OUT, TO TRUST HE WOULD 
FIND A GOOD HOME.

COMING HOME FROM VANCOUVER, 
A SHOT OF THE CASCADE LOCKS 
AND MT HOOD   
interesting.    Three days before we left on Monday a.m.
August 10, I bought a little "bed" for Bingo to sleep in while 
he traveled with us down to CALIFORNIA.  After we got back from
Vancouver, WA,  I put it at the foot 
of the bed, on a stool.   He stood looking at me, then
barked ONCE - very unlike him -  
and then twirled around and lay down in it.
I believe HE KNEW HE WAS HEADED FOR A TRIP.

My Little Scalawag was going to have a BIG JOURNEY.

GOD HAS A PATH LAID OUT FOR YOU

GOD HAS A PATH LAID OUT FOR ME AND FOR YOU.            We need to let Him guide us.           Psalm 16.11  Thou will shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.           Here in this Primary School, my grandmother Lillias May Brewer taught for three years.   She was 26 when she married Forrest. He was about the same age.   She had a love for learning. This was the York Beach home that everyone loved and cherished.   I believe it is Lillias and Forrest on the porch here.   The story is that when Forrest's best friend asked him to be in his wedding at York Beach Maine, that when Forrest came, he KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bride's sister Lillias was a winner !  It was 1914 when Forrest married Lillias. My mother was born in 1915.  Here are photos o...

BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE

BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE In 2009 I decided to go out on January 12 about 11 in the morning to feed the birds.   You can see the bird feeder here in this photo.  It is a post with a platform on it, and I usually, in good weather, would simply reach up with a gadget someone made for me to put seed up on that platform.  It was a pcp pipe with a little 3 cup plastic container on it.   So it usually was no problem. That morning I remember, Henry had said, "let me feed the birds, June.  It is a bit icy." In that morning as I washed the dishes from my kitchen sink, I could see the blue sky above.  The day beckoned to me.   And, to my regret, I did not listen to what Henry said.  I went outside with seed for the birds in that little gadget, and I was ready to go.  Hmmm. There was snow on the grass.  I could see green grass showing.  It was just about 58 degrees outside so nothing was melting.   I should have known bett...

Along Life's Road - here by the Sea

Image
BY THE SEA,  I NOW LIVE  by June E Cash               There is something about a Lighthouse that always helps me  to remember my childhood.   I knew that my grandmother Lillias loved the sea, and that she had grown up knowing what it was to swim in the sea.   I dearly loved my grandmother.   She gave me many photos of her life, and I know she followed the love of her life into the Berkshires, my grandfather being a farmer, she lived lovingly and nurtured my life. A lighthouse was meant to help seaman at sea who were trying to make the harbor and land safely in the haven of rest.    Then they would all leave to find their homes until the next Journey. We are on a Journey here.    Our Lighthouse is the Lord Jesus Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us that as He died and was buried and rose  again, He might give us Life because He lives.    John 14.19 ...
