I Believe...

That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...

That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...

That even when you think you have no more to give, if

a friend cries out to you . . . you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...

That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...

That my best friend and I can do anything,

or nothing, and have the best time.

Just a few thoughts ...there are people who are very important in my life ..they know I don't always say things right ...or maybe don't smile right ...but they take me as I am ...they don't try to mold me to what they want ...even tho most of the time I myself try to make myself be someone they might like or be the mold they want ...but I am learning ...and I am loved ...and there are people who would stand for me and by me ...

and to you all

I believe

the Lord has bless me with you all

THANK YOU

Well look who's birthday it is our sister in law Maggie ...have a great one ...love from Bare...Judy

Well one of the fish caught in the Upper Arrow Lakes ...beautiful place even with fires around ...

this smoke is from the Kelowna fire ...the other fire near by was the Galena Bay fire....

one of the bears to the entrance of Revelstoke ...they are beautiful ...

these flowers were from the flowers beds by the bears....

SO AGAIN

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
MAGGIE

we all know Bill probably spoiled you and you deserve it ....

This spot here was by Revelstoke Dam this waterfall flows into the dam ..it is called Syr Falls

now this spot so reminded me of my sister in law Barb and her man Miles...the camping spot by this falls was so a spot you two would love ...so private and fall flowing by and a view.....and free. A little bit up from this camping spot was a spot we could fit into and we spend the night ...
we did a lot of hiking ...to the falls ...long the flowers fields ...and watching the helicopters with their buckets of water fighting a fire across the lake ...
Now Neti these flowers were so beaufitul thought of you and your flower garden so girl I went on a hunt and found some seed pods for us to plant ...

and this little tree made me think how beautiful the Lord has made this earth and also of my sister in law Neti ...she will know why ...

Well I also got some neat pictures of bees hope you like the layout ....I used elements and paper
