Rabbit Trails

This is such a sweet little book.  If you see it at a thrift store, get it.  If it looks worn out, it's because it is.  I love the little animals and the plot. It was all gray.  Just old drippy weather. Foggy. The book tells us how each little animal was dealing with it.............or not! Then the dew began to drip off the tree........the sun was coming out. The little animals started to get tickled...........and to forget about their gray and drippy day. They even danced. Then they said...........WHAT FOG? Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Too bad they wasted a whole morning. Don't waste a morning, afternoon, weekend, holiday, night................letting a broken spirit dry your bones. 

I have no idea why Kimberly colored a car picture.  We were very stereotyped when it came to color books......... We loved Dover coloring books!!  They were the high-light of each new school year. There are so many to choose from.......each kid had to pretty much narrow it down to ONE each year. I think I first saw Dover coloring books at a museum store.........our oldest daughter collected their nice paper doll sets. I chose a couple books for myself once in a while........ Sometimes we would buy the coloring books at the actual place in their gift store. Now that was fun. The pictures to color are so neat and the paper they use is high-quality and very nice to color on.  Pencils OR crayons. If I had a dime for every horse coloring book............. Some of my favorite were the bird books.............the front inside covers showed you what colors the birds were supposed to be. This wasn't my favorite.......but Lydia sure liked it. sigh. I...

We made a mixture of fresh strawberries and summpin else.  They froze nicely and were enjoyed by all who got one.  A few got two.

So, Rachael Michele got married on August 25th.  It was a beautiful wedding.  The room was decorated with a very tasteful country theme. I had not met Kyle before this day...........he seems like a nice guy.  I'm so happy for both of them. Hannah was all dressed up in pink. Kimberly and I. PaPa and the happy couple. This is my favorite picture. Lovely cupcakes. Lovely decorations. Lovely surroundings.  It was just like a picture.  Picture perfect. Rest stop in Colorado County.  Note to self.........if you need to stop somewhere, do it here.

Plain old walls.  Tired old walls. I took all the wind chimes down and cleaned them...........too bad it's not windy in this little room once in a while! Still don't know who added the board between the cabinets, or why? I painted it.  Now it's a painted board with an unknown purpose. I love to tape.  It's my favorite part.  I learned about buying cheap painting tape in the hallway.............I'll never do it again. I painted in the wrong order, or used the wrong brush and roller at the wrong time.  I painted in the corners first with a paintbrush, then used a roller.  Should have used a roller first because it covered my spaces than I thought it could.  Painting with a brush is slow business. I love the color.  It's not really *me*, but the room looks really good. I painted the room in one day and didn't get ONE drop of paint on my clothes or hair.  I had just a little bit on my finger..............I took my careful time...
