At the moment there are 905 issues of the RoseBouquet that was published as blog posts, as an xml file (for Feed Readers), and as an ezine emailed to my subscribers.

RoseBouquet - About and FOR Friends of
Ruthe's Secret Roses. (Ezine edition)

I'm full of questions for you this morning. Did you get my RoseBouquet emails over the last 2-3 weeks at all? I would sure appreciate your help in solving this riddle.
The last two weeks when I was mailing out this ezine I saw that the mailings, albeit very few, were taking super-long to mail. The DADA system was taking what appeared to be 4-6 minutes per email it was sending out. I sat and watched them.
Then I realized that the week before the mailings had gone out painfully slow too. But in the end I got a notice that the mailing had successfully gone out.
Then, last week I also discovered that all my websites and my clients' sites were down. Not There! My emails were all showing as "OFFline"! checked it out, over and over, going to the Support chat window at the place where the sites are all hosted. They thought all was fine. So I went to the Support Chat screen at the registrar for the domain names. Same story,
It drove me to see if I could login to the cPanel for each site. No-way! (This saga sings the same verse over and over!) By Thursday afternoon I was more desperate at both Support chat windows. (I'll avoid play-by-play reporting). But finally we were agreed at both sites about the right IP numerical address. At some places it seemed to point to an old IP address that doesn't exist anymore.
Once both services were showing the same IP address all was cleared up within 10 minutes! Hallelujah!
But now I've got to thinking.... what if the RoseBouquet didn't really get sent out the last two weeks? I usually get a short email note with a comment from one or two - sometimes 3 friends, but if none of you even received the RoseBouquet you had nothing to comment on. Right?
I can re-send those emails, as I have them on my computer. Or, I could send them from Dada Mail again. Or, if you prefer you could just go to the online version and read them there.
OOPS! I just paused to check there. No, all the issues from 2025 are missing! However, I can quickly upload them from my computer and they will be there by the time you read this.
Yes, that's another odd thing that happened. When the sites were up and the emails started to come in again, they were all from 2024, but none from 2025. So if you were emailing me last week, please try sending it again. I usually try to save emails once I have answered them to a plain text file so I can find them if I need to check out something. But the ones had not saved yet - will not be filed - so GONE!
Ouch!
When I'm finished with this issue and it is mailed I will need to write to my clients for whom I have built their websites. Two have complained from yahoo or gmail that they couldn't access their email at all. I will try to explain this techie crisis and assure them that it is over. But lost emails are about impossibly gone!
Fortunately, I keep a copy of every webpage or web site that I create on my computer, so I can replace the issues you missed - in fact all the 2025 issues! I'll just need some uploading minutes when done writing and sending this issue.

Yes, spring is here, which means I have just managed to rake the front yard and I swept the shingle path beside my house last night, and still had time to work on 2 more projects when I got in before 8 pm.
I'm hoping to clean up the garden this week enough so that the neighbour with the rotortiller can come freshen up the garden soil.
I'm still waiting for my niece and her husband to come for my sister's office suite of desks. I rather expect they'll show up this Saturday, but I've packed up the stuff from in and on the desks, and just need to remove some boxes from the ones under the front window. They should be able to waltz these pieces out to their truck in great time.
If they don't stay around long enough to bring up my old desk units from the basement, I'll have to round up some strong men friends to come bring them up. Then I'll need to start unpacking some my bins.
Oh yes! I'm still planning to check out the business and marketing ideas I learned during Easter week from those online conference videos. But I'm trying to avoid setting dates.
No point in putting on too much pressure.

It occurred to me that you may never have observed someone claiming God' promises in prayer, and you might appreciate an example.
So here are a few paragraphs from this morning's prayer time in which I claim God's precious Promises.
Thank You that YOUR LIGHT shines for me, even in darker times. Your GOOD comes to me as I live in generosity, and lend freely, and conduct my affairs with justice. So I have no fear of bad news; my heart is steadfast, trusting in YOU dear LORD! (Psa. 112:5&7)
YOU, LORD JESUS, are my Witness, Advocate & Intercessor/Friend, pleading my case before the FATHER in HEAVEN! And I have Your promise that I shall end up in Heaven too! WOW!! Thank YOU! (Job 16:19-22)
For sure-- I know that YOU can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted! (Job 42:2)
I am also grateful for how YOU have brought me to this time and place in my life, where I enjoy YOUR company all day long, but especially in these mornings, and I see that YOU are providing for me so generously and I see that YOU intend to grant me even more as I learn how to sell online in earnest. So surely, YOU will help me with my daily routines and agendas, and also to discern and use the best methods for the works YOU have planned for me to do. (Psa. 16:5-6)
Thank YOU also for the Victory YOU give me and how YOU sustain me with YOUR right hand, and stoop to make me great, and YOU broaden the path beneath my feet. Your boundaries for me have fallen into pleasant places and I rejoice in a delightful inheritance from YOU! (Psa. 18:35-36)
OH dear DEAR LORD JESUS, YOU shield me, hold me up, stoop to make me great, and broaden the path beneath me, so my ankles don't even turn or get twisted. Wonderful!
Yes, truly, YOU are the LORD my GOD who holds my hand and says to me, "Do no fear; I will help you." (Isa. 41:13)
