RAINBOWS FOR YOU!

Good Morning! The response to the "Over the Rainbow" performance by Eva Cassidy for "Friday Movie Suggestion Night" has been very heartening for me and it really restores my faith in humanity. Admittedly, it is a strange phenomenon to check my counter and see (as I go to press here) 1,140 "lurkers", since I first featured Eva this week! Since roughly 70% of my Bloggers listed on my Blogroll were not with me from the time that I began blogging in 2004, it would be helpful to offer this explanation. The term "lurkers" refers to people who stop by and visit a Blogsite, and for whatever reason they take leave without commenting. All of which is fine with me, because that tells me that I have, indeed, reached many more people than I could have possibly imagined! Hopefully I was reaching hearts and not just heads--as they say--with what I wrote and I am eternally grateful.

Speaking of Rainbows, my friends GUNNER GILLESPIE and TREVOR TREDAWAY are responding favorably to their cancer treatments! If you are new to my site, I've posted about Gunner, age 7 (on May 12th and June 13th), and Trevor, age 3 (on May 29th and June 21st) along with their photos. Please go back and have a look! I can report to you that these boys are blessed with the most wonderful parents you could imagine. And I have been privileged to welcome each of them and their daughters as my new friends out here in Arizona. It is just remarkable to meet them in-person and connect a face with the name. This has really made my summer so memorable already!

Have a nice weekend and thanks to each of you who have reached out with your financial support, thoughts and prayers for these families. I know first-hand how much they are sincerely moved by your Love and Tender Mercies!

See ya!
