Pope's Call


Photo: Boston - memorial 1770
I was surprised to learn of the Violent incidence that happened in Boston not recently, but, centuries ago...  Had no idea!

Why do we humans ignore
Our own history lessons
Fail to learn from our mistakes
Never to make them again?

Peace is all what we need...
Little Empathy will get us all there
Hold us together!

As Pope Francis said let's embrace the Stranger and Care for the Weak among us! Peace will Bloom...

Pope FRANCIS for Hope

Pope Francis
 Pope for Hope!

Had A Red Carpet Welcome
As he landed today in US soil
Receved in person 
By none other than Our own...

President O'bama

The Humble Pope
Humbled The President...

Who by the way...
Don't forget
Won the Nobel Prize for Peace!


Peace & Hope are GOOD change/currency for the World... 

Let's HOPE for PEACE for ALL... ACROSS THE WORLD!!!

HOT Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne Peppers are not just hot,  but Very HOT, and they are good for your health. In our vegetable garden they light up like Christmas decorations.



I did bring them inside the house during Winter months. Infact kept them in the bedroom throughout to bring in the warmth of summer and brighten with color. Aren't they cute? '

Guardian Angels

Have you ever felt there's a guardian angel who was looking out for you?

Are they for real?
In the Scripture we see Michael, Raphael and Gabriel...

In the Gospel... when Jesus was talking about Children, he mentions Guardian angels!

He says:
See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven (Matt. 18:10).

SAFARI In TN


Safari in Tennessee... I have never come across such friendly Zebras and hopeful Deers. Donkeys & the Camels are adorable. Shy as they are the anmals do not feel threatened
Watch out for Ilama; they love to spit in your face (if you are fast enough... on your car window). Really fun!

Natchez Treasures - Gordon House

Gordon House:
Preserved as a Historical Site, Gordon House is one among several treasures preserved along Natchez Trace in Middle Tennessee.

On an unusually warm 50+ weather weekend took a ride on our antique Benz for a joyride along Natchez Trace. And so were many on Harley Davidson...

Thank be to God for that great weekend that preceded one of the historically cold Wintry February...
