Good Morning, Ripplemakers

Rainbow Bridge Gang - Yellow Sun
By
Bill Walker

We was setting around the camp fire talking, well we had some cookies, and burgers to chomp on.   When up the lane came this big guy.  The Goldens all woofed him over.  Another one of them guys.  Well we got room for one and all,  remember we all one big happy family.  Some are little guys, while some is the big fellows, and then the in between.

Anyways we found out this guy is Yellow Sam, from Alaska, Homer that is.  The Goldens said they believe he is the first Golden from Alaska,  we got to crank up the computer to see if their right.  But first we got to tell you about this wonderful fellow.

Sam told us he lived his life with a most wonderful human family.  Why he had the run of the place,  well from the size of him, why not??  And voice, he can talk, it going to be a while before we can think about getting a word in edgewise.

He told us about running, and playing in the water, the snows,  Well Poo and I liked rolling one another in the snows of our back yard too.  Don't know nothing about playing in water.

He told us about watching the Northern Lights.  We, well none of us knows nothing about Northern Lights,  He told us that was just something grand to watch with his family. Said you poor people that never seen such, well you just missed out on a great sight.  It only happens at a special time of the year, and he got to see 10 of  those years.

He said his family, always shared the tent with him on the camp outs, and the good times.  They always wondered what strange friend he might pick up next on the camp outs, and hikes into the back country. He liked watching the grand Eagles that was on sky guard duty. And he talked to the Moose on the trails.

Sam said he had a special friend, a half wolf mushy Malamute dog,  Sam said you think I am big,  you got to wait till he gets here.  He going to need two bunks side by side.

We got Sam all set up with his bunk, blankets, and bowls,  well the Angels did that you know.  Sam is just like all the rest, got his own special Dollie Angel.

So for all that he went off and left there,  Sam is going to do quite well here.  He is sad at leaving, but he will wait, and watch the lane for you slow pokes.  When he sees you coming home, he will run and greet you.  Happy days are here again.

What's the movie tonight??   Why what else?  Yellow Sam comes home.   We got cookies, more snacks to munch on, and watch the life and times of a beautiful dog name of Yellow Sam.  Sam has a front row seat, all the Goldens going to make sure of that,  what a mob.

 We still can't figure the name, Yellow Sam??  When we get to know this guy better,  maybe we will get it figured out.

Re: Woman Against Machines, by Clara Wersterfer

This one is funny.  Just the other day, there was an article in our local newspaper that said the post office is objecting to any legislation to block junk mail - kind of similar to the do not call lists for junk phone calls.

The reason they gave for their objections was that if it weren't for junk mail, they might just go out of business.

Re: Fear Not, by Joseph Walker

Wonderful story from Joseph Walker. He really knows how to make you a part of his thoughts. Great writer. Thanks for quality reading.

Re:  Drop In, Drop Out, by Bill Walker

Just read this and realized I am one of those come and goes.  I just in the last 2 or 3 weeks started getting your messages again.  It's probably been a couple of years since I received your messages. 

Times do change--I get older--will celebrate my 79th birthday in a couple of months (Lord willing).  It will soon be 5 years since my husband of 56 years went home to be with the Lord.  A few months after that I agreed to trying a new job.  My pastor needed a secretary.  I had all the excuses why it shouldn't be me.  But one morning after praying about it the night before and having a miserable night arguing with God about it, I consented to trying it.  I had a lot to learn!  But a very patient boss kept trying to

teach 'an old dog new tricks'.   When I said that to some one he (my boss)

said it is 'called continuing edu-cation'.  It has been nearly 5 years now and I dearly love my job.  It makes me feel needed.  Serving God is the most rewarding of all labor.

I don't spend nearly as much time on the computer as I did a while back.  Mostly one day a week.

Growing old is not a job for sissy's.  It takes more work and twice as much time to get half of the things done I used to do.  Some things just have to wait and then sometimes they never get done.  But that is OK.
