Rabbit Trails

I've been a pastor's wife for 22 years.  There are lots of things that come with being a pastor's wife.  Mostly good things.  There have been troubles and pain, but I've not starved or been shipwrecked.   If there have been sad times, good things were just around the corner.  There are always those that brighten the corner where they are and it spreads to others. Anything is what you make it.  You can be a happy camper or a grouchy one. Being the pastor's family means that we are the ones that feed and sometimes house missionaries and visiting preacher/pastors.  I can't say I was always as hospitable as I should have been every single time someone came through town to eat or stay with us.  Sometimes it was a week with 7 children, sometimes it was one simple meal on a Wednesday night.    I wish I had kept a book and had everybody that came through, sign it and date it.  It would be wonderful to have a record of everybunny that ha...

So, it worked out.  We got to go skating.  And watching.  For $10 you can skate and watch for two full hours.  But first, you need donuts. The rink is kept at freezing...........I'd love to go sometime in July.......it doesn't feel so great when it's cold outside, too.  At home, you're all warm and you don't really bring the things you should.  Live and Learn. The kids have a great time.  The rink is never full.......so they're not a real threat to many people. This is the thrift store I bought a par of leather duck shoes for almost $8......and a couple weeks later they fall to pieces.  Live and Learn.  I will be more careful about used shoes in the future. This was pretty funny.  A SOLID camo car.  I figure if we hit it, all we would have to say is:  WE DID NOT SEE IT. Toys R Us.........NOT.  Not one single Frisbee in this store.  What kind of a toy store is this anyway? We always end the day at ...

I've decided I like manual things better than things you plug in.  Not everybunny knows what manual means though.  I guess the word isn't used much anymore.  I like roll down by hand windows.  I like hand held put in the drawer when you're done can openers.  I like clothes lines instead of dryers.  I'd rather wash dishes by hand than put them in a dishwasher. I'm very thankful for the things in my life that make it easier, like washing machines and toasters.  But things break.  If you plug it in, there's a bigger chance it will go on the blink, blow a fuse, snap, fizzle, get a short or ruin a part that cannot be replaced.  Like a laptop.  Like my laptop.  There's no substitute for them like a hand held beater instead of an electric mixer.  A piano instead of a cd player.  You can't make something else take the place of your computer, unless maybe you have internet on your phone, and you haven't dropped it in the ocean lat...
