A rainy Friday 12-26-08 09:40am EST

It is raining here and the boys have gone to play Airsoft. I think they are crazy! They are playing at the Koen's today and there will be several there. I just dread the mess when they return home, but I know they'll have a blast rolling around in the mud! My washer is ready for them!

My creative and artistic friends are coming over today to work on bulletin boards for our friend in the nursing home. They are up from Florida visiting this week and it is great of them to take their time to do this.

I am Pleo-dumb...I just don't understand nor do I take the time to learn how to do much on here. I wonder if you might know how I can change my username. (Mrs. Malaprop sounds dumb and I'm tired of it). Is it possible to get a new name at this point?

mjintexas

Yes, you can get a new name... I think you have to ask Kennon. He's the man in charge here! :) Merry Christmas!!

 
theaunt

Or you can just set up a new account.

theaunt

If you do set up a new account, let me know!!! :)

A typical Monday following a symphony week-end 12-15-08 11:36am EST

I am doing a mountain of laundry and a ton of house cleaning for the holiday break next week today. I got very behind these past two weeks with three concerts. I'm glad I don't have anything again until February.

I wish you were here to keep me company while I work. Notice that I didn't say I wish you were here to "help" me. The best help of all is getting me going and keeping me going!

Have a good day....now, I had better get back to work!

theaunt

Maybe you could let us know how you are coming along from time to time. I'm behind as well so I shouldn't say anything!

 
theaunt

Oh how fun! I hope y'all have a great time. I'm terrible about keeping in touch! Don't blame yourself!

 
theaunt

Thanks! :) But did that bird tell you her b'day was earlier this month?

Winter post 11-18-08 06:09am EST

It snowed yesterday and the corn crop across the road isn't even harvested yet and our leaves aren't mulched yet. The kids are starting to get excited about the season ahead. Winter sure seems to be coming earlier this year than usual. I guess I do remember Thanksgivings from my childhood when we had snow on the ground.

My older son and I are setting up bird feeders for a friend in the nursing home this afternoon. She'll enjoy watching them and maybe recording what she sees in her bird book if she is able. The lady has Alzheimer's, we are told, and it is a difficult situation, but she still is able to come to services on Sunday mornings for the time being.

Nothing like snow to fuel the children's excitement. bill is just a kid at heart- I notice he has a pep in his step with the brisk weather. looks like we will be home for the holidays. We'll miss you!

plans = playing with even more dogs than usual, then Papa's and Nana's!

Way to go Ball State. At least it hasn't been a totally awful year for Arkansas. He's just hoping that some how Alabama will lose before it is all over. He's inherited my dislike for that team. Danny says I'm not for any particular team, just against certain ones. It makes Saturdays interesting! I'm sorry for Nathan's loss. Tim just lost shorts this time, but the bag was fine. I think he is part of the problem by not keeping a constant eye on this stuff. I don't think I'll mention about the shorts to pleo. Do you know that it's hard to replace shorts in November? :)

Homework gum....interesting concept.:) My guys never really chewed gum. I guess it's because I'm not a gum chewer. I do like the hot chocolate idea!

The corn across the road isn't harvested? How late is it usually gathered? It is hard for me to picture a growing season lasting this long.

 
finnbarr_galedeep

Exscuse me, but who is this?

 
finnbarr_galedeep

Is this Sarah Hersey?

Are matthew and nathan on pleonast?

Our plans are to go to our couzins house in Alabama.

 
mjintexas

Hi there! I owe you an email! :) So glad to see you on here!

 
motherinisrael

Hi! I didn't know you were on here. She did not tell me. It didn't take long for me to figure out who you were from the little clues in your posts, but those were only things that your friends and relatives would recognize. Then I saw the comments above. If you want to protect your cyber-anonymity on a public post, you should delete those comments.

 
motherinisrael

Have you figured out who I am yet? If not, think about the name association and a song recorded in Judges.

Simple trust and hope 10-08-08 08:00am EST

This Psalm helps me when I'm overwhelmed and confused. Do you have any Psalms that are particularly helful to you at such times?


Psalm 131

"O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; nor do I involve myself in great matters, or in things too difficult for me.

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.

O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forever"

theaunt

That is a good Psalm. I don't go to the Psalms like I should. It is full of comforting words. My mind usually goes to songs we sing which is good, but not inspired! :)

 
joy_hawthorne

Sometimes I go to Psalms but I also like to go to Phil 4:4-7. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Praise God for His love and mercy on us all! You and your sweet boys are often in our prayers. We miss you!

 
theaunt

Hey! Hope you are ok. Danny's gone and the boys too! I'm all alone except for my cat. It's been raining and quite nice, except for missing everyone. :)

 
joy_hawthorne

You know - a lady a church asked me the same question and I totally blew it off. Until I tried to tell her how that was impossible. And that is the very first time that I came to realize that our anniversary is the 21st. Oh. Not quite so unreasonable. Wow. Needless to say, we will not be running away for the weekend this year. It will be kind of cool to leave Kate with my folks and try to catch a $2 movie. As Ben so delicately put it, "it will be a LONG time before I will get to go see a movie in the theater after Grace arrives." It rather amazes me that we are on our 11 year anniversary already. Has he really put up with my nonsense that long already? :-)

I'm finally posting! 09-15-08 11:16am EST

It is a nice cool day and I have M home from work. He took the day off and is hosting our meeting preacher. It is pleasant to have the spiritual conversations and to have a whole day together.

The boys don't get home until 3:15 and then my life speeds up tremendously. My older son has a project due thursday at school. He needs to be driven to places to collect leaves and identify trees. He has collected 26 of 30 different varieties of leaves and has to mount them and label them before Thursday. I hope the glue will dry but the time he turns it in! Yesterday, he went out leaf collecting during the remnants of Ike. Procrastination is a very bad thing....but he comes by it honestly.

Hope you have a great week!

theaunt

I think I am "Entry"-ed out. I've been having trouble thinking of anything that is worthy of anyone reading.

Now is definitely the right time for leaf collecting. We tried to get Robert a collection for a Boy Scout Merit badge, but we never got them all identified. It's harder to do projects like that when they don't have to be turned in for school!

 
theaunt

I hope you have enjoyed your meeting.

 
summersilk

I never had to do a leaf collection . . . I don't know whether to be grateful or dissapointed.

 
summersilk

We did have a quix one day where we had to go on a scavenger hunt for trees leaves, given their scientific names. That was fun!

 
summersilk

*quiz

 
theaunt

I was wondering what a quix was! :)
