thought from a famous guy

Read this in Life & Style at lunch today.

"The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: If the door's shut, don't come a-knockin' . . . but if it's open and you're walkin' by, feel free to say hello."

-- Matthew McConaughey

Hear ye! Hear ye! Please be aware that anytime I use any terminology that might be considered even remotely cool or trendy, it originated (in my life anyway) from my sister, Sarah-Ruby (which isn't her real name, long crazy story).

There, now she has credit.

Is that better, HOME SKILLET?

Quick peek

Just got my CO shots back and there are some great ones! No time now so here is just a quick peek of what lies ahead. I love this one, thanks Friar for humoring me and my desire to take a sidetrip.
More tomorrow!

KENNETH

Kenneth is a small town and we all loved it! These signs are hanging are in the community center, which used to be the old grocery store. This is where we gathered for all of the meals and games. I had to take a shot of the town sign (note that they do not include population size) for my dad, who is named Kenneth. The third shot is of Jeff with the only surviving triplet calf that was born on the farm. And I had to show you my athletic prowess as I (pretend) to snowboard. I purposely chose not to include the one of me on my belly trying to sled down the hill. Not pretty.

Small town joys

Awhile back, several friends and I journeyed southwest to Kenneth, MN. Yup. It's a one-horse town and we had a blast! The first picture is the Wayside Chapel, it's the best! (remember that it was frigid and windy) The second shot is of Marty's folks dairy barn followed by the boys up in the quarry. Finally is the shot of the infamous Pamida store. It's like Alco or Duckwalls - so old, old school fun. I bought candy.

fun!

OK, completely different from the previous post is this one.

I just love it! I got to work this mornign and found this beautiful speciman of an ink pen. It really works! You pull the top off to find the tweezers. Now the heart and bread don't come out on mine but the other pieces do and it buzzes and the nose lights up if you get it wrong! LOVE IT!

It all started with a mass campaign to my RN's to get my pens back. I would order pens and they'd be gone in a week (3 dozen). That's insane! It's also not good on the budget. Soooo, I harassed and harassed and harassed and started getting really fun pens. I also currently posses a capt. hook on with red and black feathers, a connect four game pen, a purple heart on a spring pen and OOOOOO, a sponge gun pen. So much fun! That doesn't count the ones that rude people have walked off with. The RNs still have to use boring ones, but I get the good ones and I know if you have tried to steal mine.

HANDS OFF or I'll have to operate!

Home church

OK, I'm aware of home school these days and am aware of the home church scene around the world, just didn't know it was so prevelant in the States. Not sure if I think this is a good idea or not, really. Small groups that enhance the church, absolutely! But I believe that there is a need for accountability. No one is infallible and I believe that we need trained ministers to help us understand and keep us accountable. Do I think that there are people filled with the Holy Spirit and preaching the Word without being educated? yes.

Randome thoughts and prayers from my mind, I guess.
