During the time
that I surfed the web I found a number of sites that I like
very much. Perhaps there are some among them that you may like
too and this thought made me decide to share a few with you.
Although this page
is open for "business on a daily basis", it will probably
never be really finished. Since you already know about my hobbies
(see my Hobbies
page) you will understand that my window shopping quest results
in a never ending source of material for this page.
The
Callaway Gardens
is a place very dear to me. Callaway Gardens is located in Pine
Mountain, Georgia, 60 minutes southwest of Atlanta and 30 minutes
north of Columbus and is famous, amongst other things, for the
Day
Butterfly Center and the Sibley
Horticultural Center. The pictures below show the Ida
Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel.
The chapel was built
to honor Cason Callaway's mother, Ida Cason Callaway, whose
life had been that of an exemplary Christian, and who was, he
felt, "the greatest influence for good and truth in his
own life."
Did you ever hear of the Rainbow Bridge in connection with where
our pets go when they die? I really believe there is a special
place for our beloved pets where they will be waiting for us.
Living creatures connected by love will never be separated!
According to an ancient Indian legend: If a wish is to come
true, you must first whisper your wish to a butterfly. Because
the butterfly is silent, it will tell no one. Release the butterfly
and your wish will be delivered to the Great Spirit in Heaven.
When you are as interested in butterflies as I am, you may want
to take a look at the Amazing
Butterflies web site. They offer butterflies for special
occasions!
Another butterfly site that caught my attention is A
Butterfly Affair.
Do you believe in the powers of a pyramid? What are the powers
of a pyramid? How old is the Sphinx? If you are looking for
answers Egyptian
Mysteries may be the place for you!
The cat story on this page touched me deeply and I know it will
touch you too... Read the heartbreaking story about Skeesix
Corazon Moore
Can
you believe this swan?
These figures are so cute. I love window shopping at the Precious
Moments Chapel and looking at their sweet faces.
Were you ever in need of an inspirational story that shows us
in the most beautiful way that we are not alone in this world?
Go to Footprints
in the Sand and read about this simple truth.
There is always Someone watching over us, even when we feel
sad, alone and forgotten:
I
could think of a thousand reasons why the song "Wish
upon a Star" is so important to me. The song holds the
promise of love and happiness for everybody. All we have to
do is have faith and believe in ourselves.
"Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees
you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true"
I never would have thought that my dream would come true, but
it did!
The "Wish
Upon A Star" site I picked for you, has many sweet
and caring stories and is well worth your visit!
Some time ago I heard the most wonderful and touching version
of "Over the Rainbow". The performing artist was Eva
Cassidy. Her rendition stopped me cold in my tracks! I just
had to have that CD. As I learned later Eva Cassidy sadly passed
away in 1996...
Eva
Cassidy still has a home page were you can find out about her
life and her music. In remembrance of a special human being
and a wonderful singer: Eva
Cassidy
As long as we are in the world of music I have another nice
link for you: "The
Rose" by Bette Midler
Bette has a lot of beautiful titles in her repertoire, however
this song has a special meaning to me. Maybe because I like
roses so much?
If
you like a different kind of music, music that soothes your
soul and makes you feel peaceful, than visiting the site of
Aeoliah may be a good choice.
This is what it says on the site:
The
finest of Classic Contemporary Music for Love, Healing, Relaxation,
Meditation, Enjoyment & Transformation
Peace and quiet are just one click
away!
Seems
like we have a small music corner here! Anyway, I always admired
Dolly Parton and the songs that she sings. Her beautiful voice
and the lyrics touch me every time I listen to her.
A song I didn't know is "Eagle
when she Flies".
It was brought to my attention by someone very dear, who thinks
it is about me. Of course I don't know if he is right, but
I love this song...
You
already know that I love roses! Red ones, pink ones, yellow
ones, white ones: I like them all. If you like roses too,
you will find this site a wonderful place to spend some time:
Rose's
Pictures Of Roses.
It is a very extended site with stories, pictures, song lyrics,
links etc.
Another organization with a very worthy cause is the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation.
The link takes you to the page where all the different chapters
of America are listed.
Show that you care and help a child's wish to come true!
Local chapters are always looking for volunteers, so if you
are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities
in your community, contact your local chapter.
You

for your interest and check in again soon!
