A Tribute to All Veterans, Troops Still Serving & Their Families...:
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
A Little Bit of History....
The lyrics to this beautiful song were written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929) an instructor at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, after an inspiring trip to the top of Pikes Peak, Colorado, in 1893. Her poem, America the Beautiful first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, on July 4, 1895. Ms. Bates revised the lyrics in 1904 and again in 1913. In addition to those changes in the words, it is notable that the poem was not always sung to the tune presented on this website ("Materna," composed by Samuel A. Ward in 1882, nearly a decade before the poem was written). In fact, for two years after it was written it was sung to just about any popular or folk tune that would fit with the lyrics, with "Auld Lang Syne" being the most notable of those. The words were not published together with "Materna" until 1910, and even after that time, the tune to be used was challenged to some degree. For example, in 1926 the National Federation of Music Clubs held a contest to put the poem to new, reportedly "less somber," music, but no other entry was determined to be more acceptable. Before her death in 1929, Ms. Bates never indicated publicly which music she liked best, but it now appears likely that America the Beautiful will forever be associated with "Materna."
...We Love You All!

Mommy found this quote while visiting another site:

WE REMEMBER THEM
In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
We remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them;
In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them;
In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of autumn,
We remember them;
In the beginning of the year, and when it ends,
We remember them;
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are a part of us as
We remember them.

OMWhiskers!
Mommy saw an elderly lady pull up across the street earlier to chat with some other ladies whom lived there. The lady whom pulle dup was holding a tiny kittien in her arms, that looked like me!
Well, mommy came back into the house, and to her surprise , she heard a kitten MEOWing it`s little head off. She looked out the window, and there was the little kitten, all by itself! The lady had driven off & LEFT it there!!!!
Now our road we live on is quite busy for a side street, and not too many people there are allowed to have pets. So dad told mom to go get it! they were gonna try to find a home for it, but no one wants it...
it is so lovable! they fed it, groomed it (bathed ALL of us, including the kitten)...it was full of fleas.
it is playful too!
freddie & the kitten growled & hissed at each other. Spitty was too humiliated from his bath to come look at it. ME? It looks like me when i was a baby! I LIKE IT! til it shook water off onto me, mol...
TO BE CONTINUED, as the kitten has no name yet.....

In case you notice any changes to my page in the next week, it`s because mom is working on a CSS for a furriend of mine, Little Emma.
So, just as we did with our good furriend Pumpkin & his mom, we are using my page as a preview, so Emma`s mom & she can see the changes taking place, and guide us with what she wants done, etc, you all know the drill, mol.
Thank you for your patience,...love, Purrscilla & mommy
