Dedicated to Sammy

I would like to dedicate this posting to my friend, Sammy Adams.
This beautiful macaw belongs to Wess and Susan Adams and has been used in telling Bible stories to children. He can recite several Bible verses and was just learning how to sing "Jesus Loves Me" when he disappeared some weeks ago.
This has been quite a loss to his parents, Wess and Susan.
With the help of his mother, he had been in the midst of writing a childrens' book about Creation.
If you would like to see more pictures of him you can find Wess and Susan at Wessadams.com
While you are there check out the cd that Wess has just made with Allison Durham Speer[daughter in law of Brock and Faye Speer].
I listened to it for the first time this evening and it was so beautiful. On it is one of my favorite hymns.."How About Your Heart?"
Just lovely Wess and Susan and I am anxiously waiting for the order that I put in!!

Autumn Glory

This Saturday as I left palace, I thought it best that I should take some pictures of the grounds, fearing that the weather would finally take away the splendor of the autumn leaves before my return on Tuesday evening.

These are some of the pictures that I took.
As I said, "some".
It was really hard to choose which ones to post as the whole land was just ablaze with the richest and warmest tints that God has at His disposal to use..
I think these pictures will show a little of how lovely the palace grounds looked this week.

Will it be the LAST weekend of Fall?
We shall see!
