Yup. you is so smart –
And you is intelligent –
You make a difference!
You is courageous –
And you is adventuresome –
You is goin’ places!
You is not perfect
But you know perfect moments,
And you make them count!
So now bee grateful
For all that you know you is –
And go change the world!
You is gonna tell
How is you gonna do that…
Tell me one thing NOW!!
Bob had a student at Hillsdale High School
Back in the 1960’s who now lives in Australia.
Pat Martin-Vegue worked at Marine World USA.
He now lives in Gold Coast, Queensland
He trains and cares for the tigers at Dreamworld Australia
This is a magnificent tiger that Pat raised in his house.
You can see more of Pat and his tigers at Pat’s FB page: https://www.facebook.com/patrick.martinvegue
Doesn’t that look like a fascinating job?
I love it that we personally know this great guy!!
Job security during the COVID-19 pandemic:
The tigers must be fed and cared for.
Not just ANYBODY can do that!
Heck, you just throw the meat in his mouth, right?
Ah, there’s more to it than that?
Uh… ya!!
It’s not a job I could handle.
How about YOU?
What’s the most fascinating job you’ve ever had?
Mine was teaching K-8
in a juvenile hall near San Francisco,
It was back in the days when
kids waiting for foster care placement
were incarcerated along with older kids
who were jailed because of violent behavior.
But that’s a fascinating story for another day.
Tell me the story of your fascinating job…
or one you know about
because a friend or family member had it.
I’d love to hear from you.
Have a Fabulous Friday.
See ya later.

Lucille is our ATV. We named our “all-terrain vehicle” after the popular 1950’s to ’70’s comedian, Lucille Ball, because she has a red head and she’s a “ball!” Look carefully at that photo and you can see Bob, TazE (our Boston Terrier), and me… ready to have a Montana springtime ball!
Just as a ship is launched to the sea,
Bob & I launched Lucille on the mountains today.
It’s not her maiden voyage; she’s a veteran for sure.
But it was her first 2020 opportunity to play.
We went with two other couples;
It’s a good thing we had them along
Because when Bob got stuck in the snow,
Rex was prepared for what went wrong
He had a long rope, and equipment galore-
So he pulled old Lucille out in a flash.
Us gals kept our 6 feet distance and watched.
We didn’t want to intrude or do something brash.
This video shows the end of the trial…
CG pulled the rope by hand at the end,
But Rex used it connected to his ATV
To pull Lucille out – way beyond the bend!
We went to the very top of the mountain
Where the sky was unbelievably blue –
And there we had lunch – a spectacular view –
Wish we could share this four-wheeling ride with you!
That snow-covered peak is gorgeous Mt. Baldy.
From here, it’s a much different sight
Than the way it looks from our house
Where it seems rounded and shines ever bright.
The weather could not have been
More perfect for this ATV outing.
Life in the Montana mountains is grand!
Keeps me from sitting home – pouting!
I’m so glad you came to JanBeek today
To join our 2020 launch of Lucille.
Now it’s time to get in the kitchen;
Bob needs a hearty dinner meal.
Bee well!
Bee safe!!
See ya tomorrow.
Holy Saturday:
The Bible says we should rest.
Some call it “Sabbath.”
Luke 23:56
“The women
who had been companions
of Jesus from Galilee
followed along.
They saw the tomb where Jesus’ body was placed.
Then, they went back
to prepare burial spices and perfumes.
They rested quietly on the Sabbath as commanded.”
And the animals
Rested with the rest of us.
Obey the command!
It’s easy for cats –
That’s what they do anyway,
But what of puppies?
We’re more like puppies:
Resting’s hard for some of us.
We are trained to GO!
We must sequester;
We must feel like we are trapped
To learn to obey.
After Good Friday,
The women went home to rest –
Returning Sunday.
And we, too, must rest
On this day before Easter.
Just stop all your work!
Find peaceful rest for your soul.
Holy Saturday
Let’s follow the Lead!
Headed off to rest.
It’s a day to do nothing!
See ya tomorrow.
Yesterday we took a little stroll through my home state, Montana, via the lenses of several very talented photographers. Today, let’s travel to Switzerland. It’s where our daughter, DeAna, lives with her husband and family. It’s our go-to place when we have saved up enough to travel… and are free to do so. Three of our grandchildren are there. Of course, it’s a wonderful place to “have to” go!!
Thanks for visiting with me for a while. Hopefully someday we will go back… and I hope you can visit Switzerland for real yourself someday, too.
Have a Super Sunday!
See ya later!
Montana is home
It’s a most beautiful state
Photographer’s Dream!
Montana’s my home
Coming here was our best move
Come and visit us!
Thanks for taking a virtual visit with me today
via all these wonderful photographers’ lenses.
I pray for you and your health and safety.
Bee well, my friends, and have a Wonderful Weekend.
Love ya,
JanBeek
So I went outside
The sky was crispy and clear
I enjoyed the walk
Fun in the kitchen
Resulted in a fresh loaf
Baked in Switzerland
Let’s let the bread cool
While we take a healthy walk
The hills are alive
There’s a lovely view
From high up in the Swiss Alps
Above Rhone Valley
Climbing a mountain
May not be in your sweet spot
How about cuddles?
You can cuddle now
With beloved furry friend
Or with a sweet child
If bread and cuddling
Are not your favorite things,
Try this healthy meal!
Not into cooking?
You can trim your dog’s toenails
Or play with your cat.
What else can you do?
Try turning on some YouTube
And dancing a while.
If the weather’s great
Go out and knock on a door
Leave some of that bread!
What to do today?
You have a lot of choices.
Which one do you choose?
Thanks for visiting.
I’m headed for a walk with TazE.
Bob’s finished with her toes.
See ya later!
Hugs to You !!
