For Aunt Gladys


This is an Aunt Gladys pitcher. Everytime I see one, I think of Aunt Gladys.........she always had dishes like this. She also crochets doilies. She also had a little kid chair with the same 'formica?' as these things are on. It looked like a table, then you pushed on the middle, and there was a chair to plunk a little kid into. I'm sure it would be outlawed now cause it would pinch fingers and hand kids from their elbows. If you ever need somebody to play Scrabble with you, my Aunt Gladys will!!! She is the best sport I know. I won two games in a row one time (when they lived in Seward) and she just grinned. Didn't even flinch or try to throw something at me. I'm sorry for all of you that did not have an Aunt Gladys. She was the one that said YOU'RE GOING TO NICKLE AND DIME ME TO DEATH. I would stay a week with them in the summer and have a glorious time. I love you Aunt Gladys.

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...
