there's only TWO things.............


that I don't like about the ocean........the wind and the salty water on my hands............
Am I going to let that stop me from enjoying everything else? The sand, the sun, the fresh air, the birds, the sounds, going to Buc-ees on the way out or coming home, time with my girls, taking a walk, warm sea water on my ankles, the smell of sun-tan lotion, bottled water, pictures just waiting to be taken? We've lived here for a LONG time and I have been to the 'beach' once. We've driven down there and taken people from Kansas to see the water, but other than that, we haven't enjoyed what is really close to us........it takes less than 10 minutes to get to the water from our house if we don't stop at Buc-ees. It's a good place for us girls to have fun and I hope to start taking advantage.

Well, USE SUN SCREEN OR COVER UP YOUR BODY WITH CLOTHES.......your shoulders, your nose, your neck, the tops of your feet.......the tops of your ears.

Oh, I love everything about the beach. I like the way the salty air makes my skin feel. The smell of the ocean. The breeze that constantly blows from the water. Ahhhhh, so nice!

I think it is a sin to live that close to the beach and to not go.
You should be ashamed!

I hear that baby powder is effective at removing sand from skin.
Hope that helps in the future.
I'm sure you're one that loves the smell of baby powder. You seem like you would. :)

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
