Nut Butter Island: Christmas Prayer
http://nutbutterisland.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-prayer.html
Visit Our ETSY Store. Sunday, December 23, 2012. I have a little book titled "Hilltop Verses and Prayers: Collected Poems of Ralph Spaulding Cushman". It is a tiny book with maybe a hundred poems in it. But what a lovely little book. Each poem have a matching Bible passage and a little prayer to go with it. Some are just so lovely. So I thought I would post a couple of the Christmas ones. Here is the first. Let not our hearts be busy inns,. That have no room for Thee,. But cradles for the living Christ.

Visit Our ETSY Store. Sunday, January 6, 2013. Olivia, Our Fabulous Mama Kitty. So, the next day dawns and we prepare for the grand entrance. We didn't know the first thing about pregnant cats, so we figured we would segregate her so that the other cats (we had four at the time) would not pick on her. We drove to Lowe's. It went on all night! She was the cutest thing to watch, when she did it, because all that noise came out of her and she barely opened her little mouth! So, with many memories to keep he...

Visit Our ETSY Store. Sunday, December 30, 2012. Remembering Uncle J.D. Usually I would do a Christmas blog entry, but I woke up with a beastly cold yesterday, and am not feeling tip-top today.

I couldn't be much happier. Written by James Denver "J.D." Gillespie (1928-1977). I went out for a walk one day. This is H...

Visit Our ETSY Store. Saturday, December 4, 2010. A Grateful "Thank You" to Deanna Durbin, Who Turns 89 Today. Singer Deanna Durbin celebrates her 89th birthday today!

Which costars Charles Laughton. It was hilarious and even Dad liked it, although she actually doesn't sing much. The second was First Love. From The Barber of Seville.
