This may not be from our country but............

BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME)!

Since the Pledge of Allegiance And The Lord's Prayer Are not allowed in most Public

Schools anymore Because the word 'God' is mentioned.....

A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer:


Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd.



If scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now.



Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.



For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all..

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the state.



We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,

We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..



We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.



It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

some of my flowers

Sorry its been so long but Iv been so busy since Valentines day but we now have employed a new member of staff so I can now have a day off. Actually its my friend who has come to join us so knowing somebody you can trust is a real help.
We had a good Valentine day and not one complaint. Not being there before we did not know what to expect or how many people we would get through the door. The markets had fresh flowers every day so we were able to get enough to for fill all our orders.
The week after was very quite but things are getting busier week by week with some lovely comments on how nice the shop looks and the wonderful arrangements.
Just one example of a hand tie bouquet.
This is a cut orchard in wet foam and will last up to 4 weeks
This arrangement in a tea cup is very popular it will be good for Mothering Sunday on
3rd of April


A spring bouquet sold with the vase.




The first photo shows the flowers lay ed out on the bench the second is the sort of arrangement i can turn it into. The other two are variations I call them my tropical arrangements.
