Rabbit Trails

.......she taught that women were not just doing chores, they were creating--creating a home, a place of security, warmth, contenement, and affection.  A place where even the everyday things in our lives were held sacred and should therefore be cared for and treated in a special and orderly way.  "Imagine if you lost every single one of your possessions for a month.  why, even a drinnking glass would be meaningful to you at such a point!  consider how appreciative and happy you would be if everything was then returned to you, just as it had been.  Give it some thought," she wrote. It should be a relief to come home at the end of the day, close the door behind you, and find things as they should be (and always have been). Proverbs 31:10  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

guys just don't get it.................

Live Laugh Love There is something about that little 'phrase' you see everywhere that rubs me the wrong way. Not that it's wrong to live, laugh or love......I just guess if you are laughing, you're probably living. Now, I'm a great lover of quotes and ditties....but some of them are not very deep....and you must not practice them or say them over and over in your mind until you *believe* they are good and true. Catchy rhymes and cute sayings are not always true. It is much better to say things over and over in your mind that are true. That are good. That are from the Bible. There are so many things we should be thinking and doing, we shouldn't have time to do the other worldy things and repeat worldly thoughts and plaster them all over the things we own. Guilty. How about these? Put these on your walls. On your vases. In a picture. On a necklace..... ponder-consider-heed preach-warn-admonish plant-build-work comfort-edify-refresh stand-abide-prove watch-con...

......for thinking the best possible of the doings of others. Proverbs 6:18 (one of the six things the Lord doth hate) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, ........for forgiving those who have wronged you. Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother for their trespasses. (plural) ......for giving money to mission work. Matthew 28:19 Go .....for being prompt in keeping your promises. Proverbs 25:19 Confidence in an unfaithful manin time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. ......for being patient with stubborn playmates. Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ......for thinking before speaking. Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. ......for honouring your parents. Ephesians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. ......

Now is the time of the illuminated woods...when every leaf glows like a tiny lamp. J. Burroughs

I think these are considered mules. They are in the category of 'duck' shoes to me. They are some of my most favorite type of shoe. This particular kind of shoe is what I was looking at on e-bay the other night.....and wishing I had $30 so I could get a pair. Well. Honk Honk I went to a thrift store today and they had a pair for 99cents. My size. My style. I was pretty tickled. Now I have Clark's, Born, and a Cherokee. Paid less than $5 for ALL three of them. And I will wear all three of them out.

I don't buy every bunny I see. It has to be whimsical, sweet, interesting and I have to love it. This one met every point. What shall I name her? Violet? Polly? Frieda?
