What One Dollar Will Buy

It will buy a neat old enamel tray.  I don't know for sure where it will end up, but it was in perfect condition. It has holes at the top, so I can hang it on the wall if I feel like it.  I doubt I will feel like it though.
It will buy a little Science book.  I love fact books.  Just the facts. Just the facts.  I will use it next year for Lydia's schooling.  If you buy books like this, and you don't like what is in them, as in evolution or something like that, just tear the page out.  I do it all the time.
It will also buy a puffy kitten.  She's on the front room window sill right now.  I just couldn't leave her at the store.......even though she was among good company.

Thanks! I do enjoy thrift stores. I go to them more often than sales.....at least I know where the stores ARE and that they will be open!

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...
