may the wings of peace..........dona nobis pacem

For many years now I have been involved in Blog for Peace...

It is a story that must never end...

(And read Mimi's wonderful celebration of being who she is... I need trees...)

As many of you know, the last couple of years have been emotionally rugged for me,

dealing with a very ill man...

Early this year, he slipped away from me...

So my blogging has been at best sporadic and certainly very half-hearted...

I have felt not only continuously exhausted but lost...very lost...

But now, slowly, I am finding 

some purpose

some light

some glimpses of peace...

Today is Blog 4 Peace day
Below are previous postings on this day, on this blog...part of my ongoing tradition...

There can never be
too much peace...

Pig and Whistle...

back in 2010, this is what the outdoors area looked like
at the Pig and Whistle restaurant, Main Ridge...


It was looking a little shabby, but it had potential...
See views of it now HERE...
