Frozen. Help. Gurgle gurgle

Currently my laptop is frozen solid. Can`t even get the drive door open. So can`t even play a DVD. No TV. Can`t get to library computer. Nothing to do but read my Bible with a pair of reading glassses from the drugstore.
HOWEVER, GOD IS GOOD AND ALWAYS PROVIDES A WAY. Even if it comes from "Left field".
So here is a short post so you don`t worry about me and I`ll explain morewith a good story to tell  when He gets me officially back on line. I just can`t believe he`s got all you folks coming  to my blog only to shut me down.

PRAISE HIS NAME no matter what tomorrow brings and know I am doing the same.

Love ALWAYS, Laura-Lee

MONTY: "Heat Wave" my Cat's Perspective

In many ways, my cat, MONTY, has become more well known than I am, even though it's MY blog.

Does this pose look familiar?
(See top of blog page)

He's known by several aliases:

• Muffin Butt
• Lord Montague Longbody CrapPoopKin  
• Pretty Boy MONTY

For the past several days we've been enduring a heat wave. Even if it's only 26 Celcius outside, it can be well over 30 Celcius in our home.

So what follows is my attempt to become artistic. I have entitled this photographic Mont-Y-age:

Trying to survive the Heat Wave by
sleeping in the kitchen sink

Maybe sleeping upside down will help

Maybe sleeping upside down but
in a different location?

HEATWAVE Depression kicks in

Still depressed but maybe
FOOD will help

"I'll sneak out when Laura-Lee goes somewhere."

(But most purses don't have tails, MONTY)

Whatever the temperature or conditions (or silliness), 

MONTY and I wish you a wonderful weekend and a peaceful Sabbath as you put your cares and worries in the hands of Jesus and KNOW He will watch out for you.

с счастливым шабатом

Sincerely, Laura-Lee

Laura-Lee's New Video "Light of the World"

Dear Friends,

I've done what I haven't done in years. I created a NEW video. It took me most of the day, but I have just uploaded it to YouTube as my Sunday Sabbath begins. It turned out 'waaaay' better than my personal talent allows, which is always a "sign" that Jesus is involved.

I certainly hope you enjoy it. I made it specifically with my blog Friends in mind. And don't forget to leave me comments. You KNOW how much I love them.

I hope you continue to have a great long weekend if you live in Canada or America.

Love Laura-Lee

P.S. I added CC (Closed Captioning) to my new video, BUT if you don't need it the first time, maybe do without it. The video flows better without them.

Laura-Lee's Memory, William Shatner's Song, 2 Countries' Birthdays

I just wanted to wish BOTH Canada (July 1) and America (July 4) "Happy Birthday".

But especially to my own beloved country of Canada which is 150 years old today.
(YIKES! And I thought I felt old.)

Isn't it strange that a person is "old" at 65 but a country is still considered very "young" at 150?
God bless history.

Have a safe long weekend everyone.


Here's a quick, "Canadian" memory of mine:

When I was a teenager I went on a student exchange for my high school and found myself in Canada's capital city of Ottawa.
My friend and I were wandering around the grounds of our Parliament Buildings while we had some free time, but we didn't realize there was actually an official event just beginning. Before we knew it, we had ended up actually trapped behind a group of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (aka. Mounties) actually on horseback when they suddenly all came to attention (the policemen AND their horses).

We suddenly realized that we were, where we should NOT have been. But the dignitaries had already started arriving (and by carriage no less). My friend and I wanted out of there badly but we were literally trapped behind the horses and could not have escaped without some of them actually moving out of our way. We decided it was better to just quietly stand still and wait it out. 
One of the Mounties made eye contact with me and gave an almost imperceptible nod to show that he both understood our dilemma and agreed with our choice to stay put and stand still. My greatest fear was that one of the horses would get "spooked" with us behind them but they are the best trained in the world, so I need not have been concerned. 

So my friend and I stood quietly and tried to "look casual" as our brand new Governor General, (the representative of the Queen of England to Canada and the first woman to hold that position) "The Right Honorable Jeanne Sauve" arrived by her carriage, She was welcomed by our Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau and several other dignitaries just a few feet away from us.

The entire event was also televised across Canada and I remember wondering if anybody we knew was watching and recognizing us.

 "Hey. That can't be Laura-Lee and Kim standing behind those RCMP horses, could it?"
"Knowing them, ... Oh YES, it could!"

Mdme Sauve
(We were standing about 15 meters to her left)

As it turned out nobody we knew saw us. 
"Thank you, Jesus, for your 'multiplied mercies' ".

"But also, 'thank you' for allowing me to be in some of the most prestigious places in history by allowing me to just "bumble" into them in my own 'special' way".

By the way. I also learned that each of the Mountie's horses have a Maple Leaf (Canada's symbol) shaved into the hair of their butts from the "exalted" place I was standing.

Hail the "Maple Leaf Forever" 

Happy Birthday, Canada. I love you, Ol' Girl.

And also a nod to my friend, Kim, who shared the entire thing with me. What's also funny is that once the event was over and we were free to leave, I took a picture of Kim that ended up in the school yearbook. But we never told anybody the details of the situation. Only that it was "Kim at the Parliament Buildings". 

Kim

I don't have my yearbook nearby to scan the actual picture of  "Kim at the Parliament Buildings" that I took that day, but I found this photo of her on the Internet.
