hi from mo

We spent yesterday driving instead of going to the Dallas Zoo........so we went to the Dallas Zoo today. So far, we all like the Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas, best. It was a humble little zoo and had a good *kid* place. The Dallas Zoo wore us all out. It was on inclines and declines.
We took a tram ride which meant we would rather *roll than stroll*! Lydia got to ride a pony named Little Joe........and James had a bird land on his hat and nip at him.
We ate at Outback Steakhouse and then got ice cream. I don't think I'll ever eat again.
The motel we are staying at has a group of people that are on their way to a track meet and they are eating supper in the breakfast room.......and it smells like boiled chicken. ugh.
Kimberly and I are doing laundry downstairs here.....and while we were in the foyer of the motel, two dads and a daughter were passing time. One of the dads had a t-shirt that said something like........To RUN is to BE.........that same dad told his little girl to go somewhere and he told her not to run. uh.........I thought running was what it was all about. Maybe that was the hokey-pokey. Their group is called THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.
I would ask one of them if they wanted to race if I hadn't eaten so much ice cream.

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...
