More pics from Mary's trip to the Holy Land

After leaving Spring of Harod we continued down the Jezreel Valley to the ancient city of Bet She'am. Please join me in looking at these pictures, as I walked through the remarkable restoration of the Roman ruins, that sit in the shadow of the hill where the Philistines once displayed the bodies of King Saul and his sons.Bet She'am was one of my favorite places, that I could not help but to take a lot of pictures. I find this area so hard to just pic a few pictures to show you, and I'm sure you will see why.

There is no way we could ever have ruins like that here that are preserved. We bulldoze and pave over everything we can. Its jsut amazing that all this is still there after all these years.

Great desktop images- just save to your pc

My latest desktop image that I found online- I love the colors!

This is my cousin, Michele's, oldest- Eric- who is now serving in Iraq- please keep him in your prayers.

Just look at all the cool things my friend, Rosie, brought me yesterday afternoon. I have a cold and she called earlier to take me to lunch or bring lunch to me- but I had just done lunch and was headed to take a nap- besides- its not nice to make your friends sick.

So......she went rummaging and found the coolest stuff.

The wood box is going outside and I have a few ideas for it- but not quite sure- so you'll have to stay tuned to find out what I do with it.

The waste basket is going to be turned upside down and will hold a pot of petunias.

The rest- well------they will be stashed here and there all over the house.

The wood box she got for a dollar!!!!!! Ain't she good????
