The milestone event seemed to be inevitable and two years ago it finally arrived at the White household. Little sister Mary Kate was no longer the smallest.At least in terms of height, when the then seventh-grader rose above her older sister Sara Beth, then a Dacula sophomore. "I knew it was going to happen," said Sara Beth, now a Dacula senior who teams with Mary Kate on Dacula's 17-5 volleyball team. "The doctors said since I was little that she'd be 6-4 and I'd only be 6-2. So she passed me in height and now I'm the shortest one in the house." Not that this a short house. The girls' father Chris, a former basketball player at Central Gwinnett, is 6-foot-8. Their mother Martha is 5-9. Sara Beth also is 5-9 and Mary Kate, a freshman, is closing in on 6-1, giving the Dacula volleyball team a powerful duo from the same family. The older sister gives head coach Kristy Dermid versatility but logs most of her time at outside hitter, while the tall Mary Kate starts at middle blocker. "There are ups and downs to (the height)," Mary Kate said. "I always enjoy being taller but I've always looked up to my older sister." Because of their height, the siblings gravitated to basketball, their father's sport. Sara Beth grew up obsessed with hoops, playing it religiously and following her favorite team, the North Carolina Tar Heels. She didn't discover volleyball until her freshman year, when she heard Dacula had a team. "I just decided I should get involved with volleyball, it had the same training and strengths as basketball," Sara Beth said. "Since then, I just fell in love with it. I've always wanted to play it year-round." She balanced AAU basketball and year-round volleyball with the Athens-based Georgia Juniors until last year. That's when she gave up year-round hoops, opting only to play her senior basketball season for the high school team. The dedication has turned Sara Beth into a volleyball recruit - although she still has college suitors for basketball. Her current favorite is South Carolina-Aiken, but she also is considering Rollins and Shorter, among others. Had she discovered year-round volleyball earlier or grown taller, her college volleyball recruiters might have been more from the Division I-A level. "I'm comfortable with my height," Sara Beth said. "My sister, she's so tall but I don't think I'd be comfortable being that tall. But if it were to get me a Division I scholarship, I'd definitely like to be four inches taller." At her current height, Sara Beth does plenty for the Falcons. One of the senior-laden team's leaders, she ranks first in kills with 173 for a Dacula team that has impressive wins over Kell and St. Pius. "(Sara Beth's) so diverse as a player," Dermid said. "She knows every position well because she does so many different things for her club team. She just has that full court knowledge." And all the wisdom she soaks up, she passes on to Mary Kate. It started back when Sara Beth first discovered the sport. She got a volleyball from Wal-Mart and showed Mary Kate, who had just been a spectator at her older sister's volleyball matches, the basics. The younger sister loved it so much that she tried out for the Georgia Juniors, and made it. She entered high school in August unsure of her role on the volleyball team, wondering if she would even make the varsity. Not only has she done that, but she has grown into an exceptional middle blocker who leads the Falcons in blocks. "If you look throughout Gwinnett County, you don't see many freshmen stepping onto the varsity team and doing the things she's done for us the past few months," Dermid said. "Her size, her knowledge of the game to this point and her parents, they're so educated on everything ....Mary Kate is going to be phenomenal." She's already made great strides, thanks in part to her older sister. "Sara Beth's always keeping up our spirit, always keeping our concentration on the game and making sure we're all focused and support each other," Mary Kate said. "I don't really think of her as my sister on the volleyball court. We just get along so well and both of us are doing something we love."

2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty Q&A
2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty Question: truck overheating and white smoke coming out through the tail pipe
my truck just left me on the side of the road due to overheating. it had started hesitating and blowing white smoke while on idle until it started overheating and smoking white continuously. what do you think my problem is? - adrian32
2 Answers
Answer 1
blown head gasket. Roy - mastertech6371
Answer 2
Agree with Roy most likely a blown head gasket. The most accurate way to test for a blown head gasket on a gasoline engine is to test for the presence of carbon monoxide in the cooling system. Snap-On, Matco (part # CO 2000), and Napa sell a tool to check to carry out this test. Another link to a supplier of this tool is http://www.etoolcart.com/combustion-leak-detector-lis75500.aspx. Carbon Monoxide is only present if there is a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. http://www.arrowheadradiator.com/head_gasket_or_combustion_leak_test.htm I think the napa part number 700-1006. http://www.blockchek.com/instructions.htm . Signs of a blown head gasket are coolant loss (frequently have to top up the coolant level of the engine without seeing an obvious leak), experiencing over heating or rough engine running or the presence of white sweet smelling steam from the exhaust. A badly blown head gasket may allow engine coolant and oil to mix. - patrick mannion

Shireman Memorial Lecture featuring Dr. Juan Sanchez
Portland State University, School of Social Work
Thursday, April 11, 2013 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (PDT)
Charles Shireman Memorial Lecture: featuring Dr. Juan Sanchez of Southwest Key Programs - Where's the Justice in Juvenile Justice?
Free and open to the public with RSVP.
Throughout the US, youth of color and kids who are poor are disproportionately targeted for severe punishment at the hands of the juvenile justice system and in every stage of the system, including police stops, arrest, detention, waiver to adult criminal court, and sentencing. This unjust treatment creates a grim and devastating reality: broken youth, families, and communities. These factors can result in unjust sentencing and unnecessary confinement when youth might be effectively diverted into community-based programs.
Hear from Dr. Juan Sanchez, El Presidente/CEO of Southwest Key Programs, who has 25 years of firsthand experience implementing innovative and strategic approaches for juvenile justice reform using a culturally competent model for community organizing and advocacy.
Sanchez will take a look at the broad goals of reform, reminding us that the ultimate benefit of this very difficult charge is to make alasting impact on the lives of young people in Oregon.
Portland State University's School of Social Work is ranked in the top 25% of social work programs nationally. With the only graduate social work program in the State of Oregon, two growing undergraduate programs, and a brand new online program, the School prepares the next generation of social work practitioners, leaders and researchers to design our collective response to today's critical social problems.

15 Stars: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century
They were each created five-star generals when that super-rank was authorized by Congress in December 1944. In the public mind they appeared, in turn, as glamor, integrity, and competence. Presidential talk long hovered about them. But for the twists of circumstance, all three -- rather than only one -- might have occupied the White House.
MacArthur, Marshall, and Eisenhower were each featured on the covers of Time, when that accolade, in a pre-television era, confirmed a sort of eminence.* All three would appear on postage stamps evoking their signature traits. Their immediately recognizable faces were remarkable indices of personality. MacArthur's hawklike granite gaze conveyed his headstrong, contrary tenacity. Marshall's seamed, inscrutable look suggested the austere middle America of portraits by Grant Wood. Eisenhower's ruddy, balding head and familiar grin brought to mind less the Kansas of his boyhood than the Everyman which admirers always saw in him.
Collectively they represented twentieth-century America at its crest. MacArthur was always City: Washington, Manila, Tokyo, and finally New York, where he retired to the thirty-seventh floor of the Waldorf Towers. Marshall was Suburbs, with a small-town upbringing in western Pennsylvania and an unpretentious home twenty miles from the capital in Leesburg, Virgina, where he was devoted to his vegetable garden. Eisenhower was Country, out of the rural Midwest, and ended his years on his manicured swath of model farm near Gettysburg.
Their trajectories, however upward, reflected their differences. Harry Truman's last secretary of state, Dean Acheson, once said of General Marshall,"The title fitted him as though he had been baptized with it." MacArthur, son of a general, was born and bred to be one. However ambitious, Eisenhower had his stars thrust upon him. Yet their military lives intersected for decades. MacArthur and Marshall were young officers in the newly captured Philippines, seized from declining Spain. Eisenhower emerged later, as a junior aide to MacArthur in Washington and again in Manila, until World War II erupted in Europe. The flamboyant MacArthur and the unpretentious Marshall were both colonels in France during World War I, the career of one taking flight there, to brigadier general and beyond, the career of the other plunging afterward to mere postwar captain, then agonizingly creeping back up, but seemingly never far enough. Despite MacArthur's four early stars -- at forty-nine -- when chief of staff, he would keep the future of his contemporary, who still had none in the early 1930s, in frustrating limbo.
Serving fourteen of his thirty-seven years in the army under both men, Eisenhower was an assistant to MacArthur -- invisible, and painfully aware of going nowhere -- and then deputy to Marshall, who rocketed him to responsibility and to prominence. In seven years with MacArthur, laboring in the arid peacetime vineyards, Eisenhower earned a promotion of one grade, from major to lieutenant colonel, changing the oak leaves on his collar from gold to silver. In seven months under Marshall -- under the vastly altered circumstances of global war -- he earned a constellation of stars and a major command.
Each of the three might have coordinated D-Day in Normandy, the most complex and consequential Western military operation in World War II. All three would be army chiefs of staff, Marshall and then Eisenhower becoming in turn the ostensible superior of their onetime boss, MacArthur, who brooked no bosses.
While MacArthur was sweepingly imperial in manner, the ideal viceroy for a postwar Japan where its humiliated emperor was reduced to a symbol, Eisenhower, genial and flexible, proved the exemplary commander of quarrelsome multinational forces. The self-effacing Marshall possessed such intense respect worldwide that when he entered Westminster Abbey, unannounced, to take his seat at the coronation of young Elizabeth II, the entire congregation arose.
*Marshall and Eisenhower would each be "Man of the Year" twice. MacArthur appeared on the cover of Time on December 29, 1941, in the week usually fixed for that accolade but it went the next week instead to President Roosevelt.

Alanbrook also reveals Churchill was under pressure from FDR to commence the North African landings prior to the U.S. election of 1942--to help the Democrats. (It was necessary to postpone the landings, however, until just after the election, and the Democrats lost seats in 1942). While easy to guess FDR engaged in this questionable activity, it is important to have the Alanbrook evidence. I don't think Eisenhower or Marshall ever confirmed or denied it. Alanbrook does not allege the 1942 election was a big factor in the decision to invade North Africa in the first place, but it might well have been.
douglas w jacobson - 7/4/2007
Of these three great generals, Eisenhower stands out. It was Ike who was thrown into the breach with no previous field commands. It was Ike who had to hold together the coalition of egos (Churchill, Patton, Montgomery). It was Ike who shunned the limelight and focused on the most difficult task in the history of warfare. For an excellent look at this most remarkable of American military figures, I suggest Stephen Ambrose's THE SUPREME COMMANDER.

George Robert Gaston - 7/2/2007
William Manchester in American Caesar describes the first friction between McArthur and Truman.
Oddly, it was not over Korea, but rather about Truman's decision to provide American ships to move French forces back into Vietnam. McArthur threatened to resign as a result of the decision. Truman, facing election in 1948, dispatched Marshall to convince McArthur to stay in Japan.
Does your research verify this? Are there more details concerning Truman's reasons for supporting the French in reacquiring their Asian colonies?
I am always taken by the degree of anti-colonialism that existed in the U.S. Army during the period of American empire.
George Robert Gaston - 7/2/2007
Alanbrooke seemed to constantly complain about Marshall and Eisenhower, and their "lack of strategic vision". I'm sure Marshall had a fairly good handle on competing British and American interests.
From my reading Eisenhower did not seem to get caught up in grand strategy. His emphasis was in planning the invasion of Europe. In this planning he did not seem to pay too much attention to the tactical details of operations. He did however; pay a great deal of attention to logistics, which is the art of the possible.
There is a maxim in military circles: "Professors study strategy, Amateurs study tactics, Professionals study logistics". Eisenhower was preparing the most difficult military operation ever undertaken. The key factor to getting winning the war in Europe was to move an enormous mass of men and material onto and through Europe. Making such an operation work within a coalition framework is about as close to genius as it gets. He left strategy to his civilian boss.
Vernon Clayson - 7/2/2007
I looked him up but it appears he was basically a faceless presence in the shadow of Churchill despite having a military record of consequence. It also appears he had to work around Churchill's ego, a monumental task for any man, so didn't get the credit he deserved. Whatever their relationship and worth we need men like that today.
Lawrence Brooks Hughes - 7/2/2007
Alanbrook was at Churchill's elbow, selecting and dismissing people like Montgomery. Thanks for calling me studious!
Vernon Clayson - 7/2/2007
Alanbrook? The world heard of Montgomery's disagreements with Eisenhower and, by association, with Marshall, but only the most studious of historians would even recognize the name Alanbrook - Alanbrook's beef may have been that it didn't gain the credit he sought. Not to worry, who recalls the names of generals under Napoleon or, a bit more recent, Pershing in WWI? Alanbrook, we hardly knew ye.
Lawrence Brooks Hughes - 7/2/2007
General Alanbrook, Marshall's counterpart in the UK, shows contempt for the skills of both Eisenhower and Marshall in his recent unexpurgated diary. Most of his interesting wartime opinions were cut from the diary's first printing many years ago.

Writers' Trust Fiction Prize a second chance for Ohlin

Montreal-born, Pennsylvania-based novelist Alix Ohlin makes her second appearance in this year's CanLit awards season as a contender for the $25,000 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, to be announced Wednesday night at the Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto.
Ohlin's sophomore novel, Inside, an exploration of the hidden dangers in human relationships, was also shortlisted for last week's $50,000 Scotiabank Giller Prize, which was awarded to Calgary novelist Will Ferguson for his Nigerian Internet-scam thriller, 419.
The Writers' Trust Fiction Prize is the second in the annual triple stakes honouring Canadian fiction, which will conclude Nov. 13 with the Governor General's Literary Awards. Ohlin is not a contender in the GGLAs.
But 2 other Writers' Trust contenders are running in both remaining races — American-born, Toronto-based author Linda Spalding, with The Purchase, and B.C.-born, Waterloo, Ont.-based writer Tama Dobozy, with a collection of short stories, Siege 13.
Neither Spalding nor Dobozy was nominated for the Giller.
Also shortlisted for this year's Writers' Trust Fiction Prize are Edmonton-based Tim Bowling's American Civil War-era novel, The Tinsmith, and Beirut-born, Montreal-based Rawi Hage's Carnival (for a review go to thestar.com/books), a chronicle of the adventures of an over-caffeinated, sleep deprived cabbie.
Runners up in the Writers' Trust Prize receive $2,500.
The Writers' Trust of Canada was founded in 1976 by Canadian authors Margaret Atwood, the late Pierre Berton, Graeme Gibson, the late Margaret Laurence, and David Young, to encourage a flourishing writing community in this country. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the Fiction Prize.
This year's finalists were selected by a three-member jury comprising authors Lynn Coady, Drew Hayden Taylor and last year's Giller winner and Writers' Trust nominee, Esi Edugyan (Half-Blood Blues).

After the Middletown Independence Day Parade, which the Warriors' Watch Riders will be participating in, we will visit the nursing home where some of the residents will be outside watching the parade.
Added by Lenny from WWR:
" We have a little added twist to our part in the parade this year.
At the end of the parade route is a nursing home that my mother-in-law has resided at for 10 years.
There are seven or eight (now the number has now grown!) veterans that are living there now. When we get to the nursing home most of the residents will be outside to watch the parade. We will stop and surprise the veterans with our magic coin.
Please come out to join WWR on Independence Day.
We will be done by 9:45 am."
Contact Brenda or Maria for destination address:
Parking may be at a premium due to the parade so give yourself some extra time.

"We have been asked by the son (Dan) of a WW2 Vet if we could stop by and say hello to his 93 year old father (Anthony) who is on hospice care."
Warriors' Watch assured him that we have a soft spot for our Vets from the Greatest Generation and that we would love to stop by and shake his hand.
Dan is a good friend of Scott Childs of Centurions MC , who will be joining us in this mission.

The Delaware Chapter of AHW recently visited the "Home of the Brave / Women's Facility" to say" Hello" and spend some time with these wonderful women Veterans. Three women are now staying in the shelter, one with her young son. One woman, in her 40s, served in the Army National Guard; another, in her 50s, was discharged from the Marines; the third, in her 60s, served in the Air Force. The shelter has room for a total of eight women and children at a time. Any honorably discharged veteran is …eligible to apply.
About one in 20 homeless vets is a woman, according to federal statistics on homelessness, and Delaware officials estimate there are about 30 women veterans without stable places to live statewide.
Thank you AHW DE! Great job..

Here is a view of the SBMC helping Vets at a SBMC Veteran's Stand Down
What's a "Stand Down"? It's an opportunity for our local disadvantaged Veterans to get a wellness check, new clothing, cool weather gear, toiletries and other necessities – including bed rolls, blankets and more – all free of charge to Vets. Vets: just bring your VA ID card or your DD214…we'll get you squared away! (Don't have one? We can help.) Wanna help out? Great – be at Reading's City Park in Veterans' Grove at 9am for a great day of helping our nation's heroes – Veterans!
Warriors' Watch Riders have received a request from the family of SSG. Rondon for one of our world famous M&H's at a party the family is throwing for our hero. Here is a little about SSG. Rondon.
He has been active duty for 10 years in the Infantry (Army). He has 3 beautiful daughters and a soon to be step-daughter (Evelyn, Dawn, Aaliyah and Khaleesi). Othoniel is originally from a small town in Puerto Rico. He has done 2 tours in Iraq and this tour in Afghanistan.
For this deployment he left in the middle of January 2014 and did not return until the end of August 2014. In this past tour he missed his beautiful daughter Khaleesi's birth, who is now about to be 6 months old on Oct 8.
The family could not be there for his welcome home ceremony in El Paso, TX. It was very heart breaking for everyone.
He is very proud of being a Soldier and thinks of the Army very highly and loves what he does, even with all the heart ache and problems it has caused for him physically and mentally.
Othoniel hasn't seen his daughters, Evelyn and Dawn, for 3 years as they live in the Philippines, it has been really hard on him.
Rally Point: 130 West Main St. Collegeville, PA. 19426
Rally Time: 16:00 (4:00 PM)
Summer is over and things are going to get busy with the holidays coming up.. this also means the troops will be coming home more frequently to see family and friends.
I'd like to put together "Welcome Home Teams" to cover periods of time (creating a schedule) and to cover areas of PA and NJ where the welcomes would take place. I'm hoping this will make more efficient use of everyone's time and resources. (Ideas are welcome)
Please contact me if you'd like to be a part of a "team' where you live. If there is a welcome home close to you, you would present the certificate and be a part of the planning for that particular welcome. Similar to the Ride Captain for our sister group, the Warriors' Watch Riders. It's very exciting to know YOU put the welcome home together, very rewarding to see the family and our HERO be reunited!
Please think about it… and thank you for your continued support!
For the Troops,
Maria Hyland

What does the
plunging stock market mean for you? As the financial crisis bites hard, Patrick
Collinson picks the winners and losers among top fund managers
The London
stock market has had its worst three months since the dotcom bubble burst 10
years ago. More than pounds 200bn has been wiped off the value of the UK's
biggest companies since July - which translates into a 15% cut in the value of
many people's pension pots and investment Isas.
Yet despite the
gloom, some funds have avoided the slump. Neil Woodford of Invesco Perpetual,
who manages more money on behalf of small investors than anyone else in the UK,
has had a good crisis; so has Terry Smith, whose asset management company,
Fundsmith, is still up since its launch a year ago, when almost everything else
is down. Meanwhile, Anthony Bolton at Fidelity, long regarded as Britain's top
investment guru, has seen his China Special Situations investment trust lose
36% of its value in the past 12 weeks alone. As panic grips markets across the
globe, Guardian Money went in search of the winners and losers.
Anthony Bolton,
In November
2009, Bolton, regularly cited as the most successful investor of his
generation, hailed China as "the investment opportunity of the next
decade". His new venture, Fidelity China Special Situations, hauled in
pounds 465m from small investors hopeful that he would repeat the success of
his UK Special Situations trust, which over the previous 28 years had turned a
pounds 1,000 investment into pounds 148,000. At first, Bolton's magic seemed to
be working. The China-focused trust, launched at a share price of 100p in April
2010, rose to a peak of 128.7p on 9 November 2010. But since then it has fallen
in value by nearly half, trading this week at just above 70p. In other words,
someone who put pounds 10,000 into the fund at launch now has just pounds 7,000
left. One of his biggest holdings is the giant Ping An Insurance, which since
last November has fallen in price from around 65 renminbi (RMB) a share to
Bolton says:
"The last week or two has seen price volatility, particularly, as high as
I've ever experienced. Some days I've had a number of holdings down 10-15%, to
be followed by days when the reverse happens. Markets are currently focused on
a very gloomy interpretation of the outlook for Europe and the world economies.
However . . . I still believe the general outlook for consumption and services
in China is good and, in an uncertain world, all growth investors should have
some exposure to this area."
Hold on for a
recovery, says Mark Dampier, investment adviser at Hargreaves Lansdown. "I
get fed up with people saying Bolton's gone from hero to the pits," he
says. "Yes, he's been having a tough time, but this is China and it was
always going to yo-yo. I remember how in the early 1990s his UK fund was
terrible after a few quarters of bad returns. Nobody worried about that a few
years later."
Neil Woodford,
Invesco Perpetual
Six months ago,
Woodford's judgment was under attack. His pounds 18.4bn Income and (near-identical)
High Income funds are Britain's biggest, but they were lagging in the
performance tables as he shunned fashionable mining stocks in favour of
"unbelievably low"-priced pharmaceutical companies such as
But his
strategy paid off. In the past three months, his funds have slipped by only
1-2%, compared with the typical 12% fall at rival income funds. Glaxo is now
trading at around pounds 13.50 a share, against pounds 11.50 earlier this year.
McDermott of Chelsea Financial Services says: "Neil Woodford has been
saying for a long time that there would be a banking crisis. He also correctly
spotted that the market recovery (particularly of 2009) in which he
underperformed was a false recovery and only really funded by QE [quantitative
easing]. He continues to believe that the banks are not yet out of the woods.
This is a reminder that good managers will have years when they underperform
but generally do well over the longer term."
However, all is
not well in the Invesco Perpetual stable. Its pounds 5.3bn Corporate Bond fund
has taken a battering in recent months, with investments in banks such as
Santander, Barclays and Lloyds making it one of the worst-performers in the
bond sector.
"Over the
past year it has lost 6.5%, or 10% behind the M&G Corporate Bond fund, up
3% over the same period," says Brian Dennehy of advisers Dennehy Weller.
Terry Smith,
A year ago, the
maverick multimillionaire launched a new fund, Fundsmith Equity, promising
low-cost investing for all - and put in pounds 25m of his own money. The
boxing-mad son of an east London bus driver promised to give the "fat and
complacent" fund management industry a bloody nose - and round one has
gone in his favour. Over the past six months, when the average globally
invested fund has lost 16.6%, Fundsmith is down just 1.8%. The fund is now
worth pounds 170m, with nearly half the money in consumer stocks such as
Colgate-Palmolive, Dr Pepper and Procter & Gamble, whose growing sales in
emerging markets and resilience in domestic markets has protected them from
stock market falls.
formula is to invest in a very small number of very high-quality companies, and
to do so at fair or cheap prices relative to their intrinsic value," says
Smith. "Then we try to do nothing - to allow the wonderful cash returns
those companies generate to shine through in growing value and share prices.
The average company in our portfolio was founded in 1887. They have survived
two world wars and the Great Depression, so they are likely to survive the
current difficulties."
Jayesh Manek,
Manek Investment
Jayesh Manek
was a high street chemist who, between dispensing cold-sore creams and
haemorrhoid ointment, beat the investment experts at their own game. He entered
a Sunday Times fantasy fund manager competition in 1995 and turned a notional
pounds 10m into pounds 502m. Backed by big financiers, he ditched the pharmacy
for the trading floor, opening up a fund for others to share in his success. More
than pounds 50m flowed in from small investors.
His performance
since then has been stomach-churning. Over the past three years the fund is
ranked rock-bottom out of the 303 funds in the UK All Companies sector. It is
now worth only pounds 33m as investors have fled.
But in a
remarkable turnaround, Manek's fund has now shot to the top of the tables,
gaining 9% over the past four weeks, when the typical fund in his sector has
lost more than a tenth of its value. Maybe he has found a new wonder drug . . .
The Sunday
Times investment fantasy league winner has proved a loser for small investors
who backed his fund. It's lying 303rd out of 303 funds in his sector - but it
has enjoyed a remarkable upturn during the recent turmoil.
Having a bad
crisis. His new pounds 450m China fund, sold as the "investment
opportunity of the next decade" has lost one-third of its value since
launch and is down nearly half from its peak a year ago
biggest fund manager is having a good crisis. His flagship Income funds are
down just 1-2% over the past three months, compared to the 12% fall in the
average UK equity income fund
The maverick
City multi-millionaire launched a retail fund a year ago, and it has largely
defied the downturn in markets. Holdings in global consumer stocks such as
Colgate Palmolive have helped him ride the storm.

A poem about the angels, whether friends or family members, who never allow us to fall.
Graphics by:
© Angel Reflections
An angel crossed my life one dayWhen I was least awareThat I would need someone to stayAnd offer loving careHer halo beamed of purest goldHer eyes were crystal gemsHer smile was a sight to beholdWhen days became quite dim.
The angel seemed just like the restHer spirit, sweet and kindYet, this cherub had been quite blessedBesides her selfless mindShe held a special gift, indeed The kind that Heaven bringsShe lived her life for those in needBound by her pearl wings.
Never before had wings of pearlBeen viewed by those on earth And when their beauty was unfurledThe wings confirmed their worthYet, while the wings were rare and quaintTheir pure glory was foundWithin the heart, so frail and faintThis angel would astound.
An angel crossed my life one dayWhen I was unawareThat I would need someone to stayAnd offer loving careHer halo shone in golden shadeHer hair formed brilliant ringsAnd never did I feel afraidWithin her pearl wings.
I wish that all could find the blissUncovered that spring mornWhen I realized that life existsFar from the paths weve wornThanks to an angel, kind and sweetWho showed what life can bringWhen we choose to reject defeatAnd find our pearl wings.

The sturdy, high-quality leatherette case neatly stores a deck of plastic coated playing cards and a folding cribbage board inside. The wooden cribbage board measures 7.25" x 2" when unfolded, and stores 4 cribbage pegs on the underside of the board.
