Prayer request:

My dear friends,

I ask for the prayer of all of my friends tonight........All of you know my dad has cancer in his bones... He was going to an appointment today and while driving the car,yes he is very much alert and can drive, his right arm broke in half........They will determine tomorrow what the next step will be......He is fast declining and he needs your prayers so very desperately.... Please please pray for him and that whatever the will of God is that we can all see this and be at peace but for him more than us...........Please........

Hi to Carol and All!

When President of the Lewiston (NY) - Queenston (Canada) Rotary Club, I believe the only such international club, with meetings, events and projects in both countries, I always referred to U.S. members as "U.S." -- because we are ALL Americans!

During years of job-searching, Carol, LOL, I am now totally focused because of "home orders" to find one, although I am also going May 30 to do early application for U.S. soc. sec. as a good move!

However, the helping of others can cause other matters to wait.
A local fruit (peach) farmer in Town of Lewiston near Niagara Falls and right across Niagara River from Ontario, has lost his Canadian Processor! (Closed?)

Without a processor, 40 tons of great peaches will rot in his fields!
With a processor, he could truck peaches to processor, and both could do some business!
Carol, please get word out to all in Canada, especial Ontario, about this need and possibility!
Anyone interested may just contact me via e-mail and provide phone # where they can be reached by "Butch", a real farm veteran.

Thank you (will write soon).
Vance

http://greenhorse.com/join_now.ghc?r=177952857
 
tell them it would help support the newsletter and they can earn money from it. They need to sign up and install it but they don't need to do anything else. They just do what they normally would anyways on the net and they earn money while it’s on. In other words they just keep it running while they are online. It’s small doesn't take up much system resources and they can earn more if they advertise their own link and get people under them as well. Let them know some people make 5-10$ a day on it and its been open since 2002. 

Don’t forget to order your copy of Angels Watching Over Me, the story of an ordinary woman facing less than ordinary challenges.  Angels Watching Over Me is a story of family love, sacrifices, poverty and an undying faith that makes heroes out of all of us.

 Quirks
Bill Walker
missourisage@yahoo.com

I have this list of Dollies, I think every one knows about. Sure
learn a lot from the Dollie Grape Vine. I know the fact that some of the
Dollies know the others, and I know Dollies do tell one another things
about that crazy guy in Nebraska. In fact once in a while one lets
something slip, and I learn something, maybe I wasn't to have
learned. Now I hope I don't make any upset with what I say here,
as I am getting a laugh also.

I understand I have my quirks. This is the way I look at something
and in writing about it. Well it is true, I got quirks. I never
will master this art of proper, and fancy writing. If I did it
wouldn't be me telling the story. I know I give any editor a fit when
it comes to proper. Just ask a certain Dollie in Dallas, by the name
of Miss.T.
I was looking at a story I wrote, which made Starfish. I was reading
along, and all at once I saw one of my goof ups. I know any English
teacher would have red checked it. But it is just me and my poor
grade of speaking, or writing. It is just me, and if I changed it people
would say, old Bill never wrote this. Heck from day one on this
writing stuff, I have enjoyed giving the cotton picking nit pickers
something to do. That takes them off of some real writers back. And I
know every once in a while even the best of writers, or story tellers,
gets a goof up  proper.

We all have our quirks, take the quirks away, and you lose the color of
the person, action, and words. It is like the person that stands and
talks to you, that has to wave the hands. Take the hand waving away,
and something gets lost in telling the story.

So Dollie, I hope you don't get upset, that I found out I got
quirks. I know I got quirks, and I am right proud of my quirks.
I am too old now to change my quirks.

Remember I am just an old misplaced Missouri boy living in Nebraska,
with that old Missouri twang talk. There is a saying. You can take
the Missouri boy out of Missouri, but you're never going to take the
Missouri out of the boy. That is one of my many quirks.

   Integrity

Conrad S. Cardinal

Integrity, to have a moral and ethical
Character,  honest.
For many this is not what they do
best.

Most of our sources of information
mislead us.
We sit back and accept this without
making a fuss.

We don't even try to find out the truth.
A poor example for our youth.

When we become liberal, we are easily
deceived.
The lies we hear, readily believed.

I believe integrity is the fabric of our

nation.
The lack of which brings about degradation.

I feel we must support the one who’s
life and work reveals this trait.
One who loves America and talks straight.

Conrad
