FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL - by Ginny Bryant

FOR  SOMEONE  SPECIAL by  Ginny Bryant Days may come and days may go They never seem the same Some are bright and sunny And some are filled with rain. Whenever life seems unfair And time you'd like to stop That's when you need to think a bit Be thankful for what you've got. You are so very fortunate You have loving family and friends That lift your spirits when needed As each new day begins So when your life seems shadowed Lift your eyes to Heaven and pray For help in whatever need you have Let Him touch your heart today. This is a special greeting Full of love and prayers too Because you are a special friend And because I do love you. God Bless You !

HELP YOURSELF TO HAPPINESS - by Helen Steiner Rice

HELP  YOURSELF  TO  HAPPINESS by Helen Steiner Rice Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true, But finding it and keeping it seem difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found Only in the places where wealth and fame abound. And so we go on searching in palaces of pleasure Seeking recognition and monetary treasure, Unaware that happiness is just a state of mind Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind. For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away returns to shine on you.

MY CITY - by Heather June Gibbons

MY  CITY by Heather June Gibbons It’s drippy here, and the crows are mean. They zero in on loose threads, snatch babies right out of mothers’ hands. Swoop and snatch, just like that. People here are falling badly in the streets. They don’t understand that falling is an art you can never get better at. They turn inside-out, though none are reversible. Me, I’d rather hold a fish to my brow for a little relief and do a proper fall that bruises the sky’s knees or switch the lights on in the glass room and yell Dance, dance, dance! Instead, the mayor tells people to just hold tight and most of them do. In this city, only the really bad ones glow in the dark.

SUMMER - by James G.

SUMMER by James  G. Summer is warm and full of life The birds are singing The butterflies are dancing The flowers are talking The wind is gently blowing The skies are blue People are playing The smell of honeysuckles is in the air Boats are floating Fish are jumping Kids are splashing Bees are buzzing for nectarines The days are longer The nights are shorter Summer it is full of life!

THE ABANDONED SCOTTISH VILLAGE OF GARENIN: A PLACE WHERE TOURISTS CAN EXPERIENCE LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Garenin  is a crofting township found on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Garenin is in the Carloway municipality and has a population of about 80 people. Garenin is also within the parish of Uig. Today the village is most famous for the "blackhouse village", which consists of nine restored traditional thatched cottages. The village is found at the end of the Garenin road beside the village bay. These houses were lived in till 1974 and were the last group of blackhouses to be inhabited in the Western Isles.

In 1989, Urras nan Geàrrannan (The Garenin Trust) was established to restore the houses. Over a decade later the project was complete and the restored blackhouse village was opened by Princess Anne.

The blackhouse village is managed by Gearrannan Village Ltd. There was a Youth Hostel (managed by The Gatliff Trust) but this closed in May 2011. There are four self-catering cottages, a museum (a blackhouse set in 1955) and a resource centre; a café and a small gift shop are open in summer.
