Enjoy Your Victoria Day Long Weekend

In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on Monday, prior to May 25th

It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Elizabeth ll.

Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West (now Ontario) in 1845, and

became a national holiday in 1901.

Before Victoria Day became a national Holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day,

beginning in the 1890's as Victoria approached her Diamond jubilee in 1897.

Victoria, queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and empress

of India was born on 24th May 1819.

She assended the throne after the death of her uncle George IV in 1837 when she

was only 18.

She ruled until her death in 1901 when her son Edward the VII became King of England.

Have a great weekend everyone.

In Memory Of A Dear Space Friend

It is with great sadness that I have just learned of the sudden passing

of an old space friend Sweet Dee

This is so sudden that I simply cannot come up with the proper words

right now. I am in disbelief.

Dee was one of the sweetest and loving space friends that I have ever known

and she will be sadly missed by many.

My deepest sympathy goes out to her husband and family.

Rest In Peace Sweet Dee.

UPDATE ON SWEET DEE FROM SHANNON (BLUE)

THANKS SHANNON FOR LETTING US KNOW.

Bob called me today after the funeral.

He asked me to tell you all this.....

He said that Dee passed away at her computer.

He thought she was asleep because she did that quite often.

He was cooking steaks on the grill and came in to let her know dinner was ready.

He could not get her to respond to him.

He then called 911.

I had talked to her a few hours before that on the phone and she sounded great.

He agreed with me saying that the medicine she was taking was helping her speech.

I even told her that she was sounding so good. She was happy and laughing.

I told him about the messages you all left on her space and he said he would check

it out as soon as he had the chance to rest.

I wuv you all....

Shannon

(BoBo) as Sweet Dee would call me.

Risk

To laugh, is to risk playing the fool.

To weep, is to appear being sentimental.

To reach out to another, is to risk involvement

To expose feelings, is to risk exposing our true selves.

To put your ideas, dreams, before the crowd is to risk loss.

To love, is to risk not being loved in return.

To live, is to risk dying.

To hope is to risk despair.

To try at all is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken,

Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply cannot learn,

change, feel, grow, love, live...

Chained by their attitudes they are slaves.

ONLY THE PERSON WHO RISKS IS FREE.

"To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams,

to have goals in life and a drive to suceed

and to surround yourself with the things

and the people that make you happy-

This is Success!"

"Do You Know" Poem written by my friend Pauline

Do you know...

There is no time to give up...

Only courage to keep going on...

Hope for better tomorrows...

Do you know...

When it's time to move on...

Listen to your heart, it knows...

It will never fail you.

Do you know...

How to tell when somethings over...

When the special thread is broken...

And you feel such emptiness...

Do you know when wonderful things are coming...

It's when your heart starts to sing...

And you keep smiling...

Do you know that some will lie to get their way...

Don't let them crush your spirit...

Just forgive and look away...

Do you know...

when you feel so much despair...

Angels are there

To lift you up, when you think nobody cares...

Do you know...

When you think your cross...

Feels too heavy to carry...

God sends help to ease the weight...

Do you know...

That real love never dies...

It follows you...

far after life into eternity...

Do you know...

You were born to be happy...

And its never too far away...

Just reach out and it's yours to keep.

Unconditional Love

A treasure to be cherished,

A gift from God above;

is the beauty of a friendship,

Touched by unconditional Love.

A Love that asks no questions,

Believes in all the best;

Never doubting, ever trusting,

Withstanding any test.

A Love that weathers any storm,

And yet that love still stands;

Through the very darkest hour.

It still reaches out a hand.

There in that hand the sweetest gift,

That you can give a friend;

A heart that cares, a Love that shares,

That will be there till the end.

A treasure to be cherished,

A gift from God above;

Is what I share with you my friend,

An unconditional Love.

and your hand over my mouth!!"

Hi Carol:

Hope all is well with you and you are all settled into your new house and you are able to take some time for yourself. Yesterday it was sunny and nice but today it is raining. Yesterday I made my first rhubarb pie with the rhubarb from my garden and it was yummy. Your space is looking lovely as always. That poem by your friend Pauline is lovely. Some people are so talented.

Take care and have a good day....................Rusty ((HUGS))
