vacation

Lydia or somebody said we were heading home today........but we're really not. We're heading for the zoos........when we're done with the zoos, we will head home.
The zoo in Wichita, Kansas was GREAT. It was just fun.........it was dry, hot but dry. Then we walked into a place called the JUNGLE......it was humid on purpose in there. Kind of like the doorway of our house. Humid on purpose. Kansans are crazy. They think that 47 is high for humidity. My lips are cracking...........but I am glad I traded wind for humidity.......I'm quite happy in Texas.
We have been drinking pop, eating cookies, looking at pretty clouds, feeling the dry wind, listening to cottonwood trees, listening to my dad........, looking for Starbuck's, going to thrift stores, watching Lucille Ball on tv, doing laundry at motels.........we've been having just a pretty good time. I hardly even miss the van. The car is getting 29 mpg. Yay.
So here we are........at a motel in Oklahoma City. We are going to the zoo tomorrow here in town.............after we eat a great big breakfast here at the motel. I think I need to go to bed........as my dad would say, I need my beauty sleep.

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...
