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!!

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...
