Here is a beautiful page that was made for me by one of the Mighty Girls in our online group for my December 2005 Birthday.  I wanted to share it with you.  After you have visited this cute page which was made by Mayflower, you might like to see the gifts that others did for my very special 2005 Birthday at this link.

There are almost always new pages through out this site.  Seems like I add something new every few weeks.  More backgrounds, more original writing, new family memories.  I highly recommend the following pages.  There is a little something for everyone.... Carol   

 

I LOVE TO CAMP!  Hints on cooking in camp - from a designated "camp cook".  As chores go in camp, cooking Isn't the worst --- BY FAR!  Here are some tips for making it a fun part of the trip.  And you will have a captive and grateful constituency.  Camping is a hunger making pastime.

 

 

Fairies and elves have invaded the Abbott house.  And that's a really good thing!  Come visit the Fairy pages at my place.  There are FREE Background graphics, a game, an original poem and some beautiful Fairy images for you to enjoy.  Plus a few good links to finding out more about Fairies on the Web.

A Prayer for the United States and for the World -  The world will long remember September 11, 2001.   The only way to make sense of this tragedy is to turn to God and Pray.  This prayer is from the National Shrine of our Lady of Snows.  God Bless America and please God, watch over our world and keep us safe during these trying times. 

And a Plea for World Peace has paraphrased a popular Christian Prayer, The Prayer of St. Francis, to make it a personal mantra of Peace for loving people everywhere.

  One of my favorite pages is the "Angels All Around Us" Page.

*** Also, there is a Background Page with some different shades of the border background on the Angel page.

A favorite topic -  For All the Saints, a section devoted to info on Church Saints.   Little bits and pieces that interest me.

    The Bear Affair.

My Personal Journey of Faith is explored.   Unlike so much of my writing, this subject is difficult for me to open-up about.   I consider myself to be a rather private person, one who finds it hard to share inner-most feelings with others.  However, I realize that each of us is here on this Earth for only a finite time.  Because my Christian Faith is so fundamental in my life, I am compelled to share it with others.  Please, do not be offended by this.   If you (the reader) choose to listen, then listen with an open heart and mind.   If your beliefs lie elsewhere, then go in Peace to follow your own path.  Just do so with tolerance and true felt love and compassion for others who may be very different from you.  We all should long for Peace and Justice for all the Earth's creatures.  It is necessary for the survival of our world.....'Pray thee listen, Do not treat life with little regard'.

New and ImprovedI have reworked and expanded the pages of

You are invited to see the changes.  Let me know if you like what you see.
