A Stick



This is our *stick*.
Does your house have a stick?

We used it a lot when the kids were all here.
More things evidently rolled under furniture, had to be un-poked out of corners, 
jabbed, reached, knocked down, 
smacked, whacked and retrieved.....
when there were 8 of us.

If your house doesn't have stick,
then how do you get cats out of the recessed lighting?
tennis balls from under the couch?
cobwebs in the garage?
Christmas tree parts out of the vacuum hose?
little people that fall behind the freezer?
fabric from your TALLEST shelf?



If I had a dime for every time somebody yelled:
*WHERE is the STICK?*
I could probably buy 
a new broom.

This post made me laugh out loud!! I have what I call arms. I say I need an arm and one of the kids or my husband comes to reach anything for me. But when I need things -as I can only reach the first shelf in any room in the house I resort to my daughters old broom that adds enough for me to scootch the item forward so it will fall to my catching arms!!

Oh and in the kitchen I use the grill tongs...they reach high and grab!

Thanks once again for giving me a smile!!

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...
