  • Dru Being a Dog Yesterday


     

    I have so much to share... it was an eventful weekend.  This is just a beginning.  Dru is such a crack-up.  He loves to do goofy things and he doesn't mind if you video or snap him doing them... as a matter of fact he likes you to take pictures of him.  Do we have a comedian in the family????    I'll add a video in a little bit for "Dru Being a Dog Pal for Bud"

     

    HAPPY thirty-first BIRTHDAY JENNY!!!!!!!!  We are thankful to have you as a daughter-in-law!!!   Thanks for loving our son & being a great mom to you-all's five chillin!    Most recent photo upclose... holding your tongue!

  • The Garage Sale results......

    My husband bought a bunch of stuff.... I returned the camp stove he bought for one of the kids cause we both were pretty sure they already had one.   Well, actually I traded it for a coat rack.  As it turned out our daughter went to the same sale and bought the returned camp stove, not knowing that we had bought it first.  Apparently theirs was broken..... weird, huh?   

  • Neighbor's Garage Sales......

    will write more later.........

  • Uncle Tom is still at work.......

    It is 8:20 pm and Uncle Tom is still at work.  They are running trays and getting the temperature up really high.  He is getting to go right out into the shop.  This is more interesting work than former jobs when he was in his office pushing paper all day long.  But things happen and they have to let the ovens cool down..... I miss him...


    BTW - I got to have three of the Dunbar kids this morning while mom ran some erands.  It was fun... they played out back in the sand and had chicken nuggets for lunch. 

  • Out to dinner, and a nap....

        Shar & Jim for dinner last night.... they are staying up in Yakima for a couple of weeks.... looking for houses.  But yesterday they had an appointment down here so they drove down, after their appointment, they came over here for a nap, then soon as Tom got home we went out for dinner at OG's.  We enjoyed our time once again.  sorry to have to say bye, bye to them.... but it 's only for another week, plus two days. 


        Nothing else to report right now.  Blessings..........

  • Our Savior....He did what he came to do!


     


    THE Verse Of The Day for 4-17-2007   The psalmist says of The Lord:   He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.  The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.  Psalm 147:10-11

  • His name was Ben Franklin.


    On APRIL 17, 1790, the son of a poor candle-maker died.


    The 15th of 17 children, he apprenticed as a printer, and published a popular almanac.


    He retired at age 42, then taught himself five languages, invented the rocking chair, bifocal glasses, and the lighting rod, which earned him degrees from Harvard and Yale.


    He helped found the University of Pennsylvania, a hospital, America's first postal system and fire department. He became the governor of Pennsylvania, signed the Declaration of Independence and called for prayer at the Constitutional Convention.


    He was also president of America's first anti-slavery society.


    In his Poor Richard's Almanac, May 1757, Ben Franklin wrote:


    "Work as if you were to live 100 years; pray as if you were to die tomorrow."


    In a pamphlet for Europeans titled "Information to Those Who Would Remove to America," 1754, Benjamin Franklin wrote:


    "Atheism is unknown there; Infidelity rare and secret; so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting with either an Atheist or an Infidel. And the Divine Being seems...pleased to favor the whole country."  (Taken from American Minute 4-17-2007)
