- Derby Day was this past weekend for all you horse-racing fans. Being a Kentucky girl, I still think it’s mighty strange that the rest of the world doesn’t stop for Derby Day the way that Kentucky does. What’s wrong with these people?
- I’m suddenly craving Derby Pie, aka Kentucky pie.
- Chris and I will be celebrating a ten-year wedding anniversary this month.
- He’ll tell you it’s been ten looooooooooooooooooooooong years.
- Don’t listen to him.
- In ten years, we’ve had 2 children, 4 dogs, 2 fish; lost 4 loved ones, 1 beloved dog; surrendered 2 dogs (one due to aggression, one because he needed more attention than we could provide at the time); moved 4 times; owned 3 cars; gained too many friends to count; loved lots; laughed lots; cried lots (yea, that was mostly me).
- Looking forward the next ten, and the next ten. But after that, I really hope I’m in Heaven with Jesus. I’ll be too old to enjoy myself too much here on Earth.
- But Heaven? Oh, yea, it’s going to ROCK.
- I finished The Godfather series last night – all three movies. I feel…bleh. How tragic! The first movie was a great movie. As the family saga continued, tragic…just tragic. From a Christian worldview, you can easily analyze it from the standpoint that the wages of sin are death, death of all kinds – relationships, physical, etc.
- Yes, I cried at the end. So…sad!
- But overall, just tragic. I could analyze it a hundred different ways but it would boggle my mind and this mommy-brain needs all the cells she can get.
- I’ve been reading about Compassion International‘s recent blogger’s trip to India. I’ve been a mess of tears reading each post. Unbelievable.
- I am continually impressed by this organization. Continually.
- The kids have been playing in the kiddie pool on the back deck lately. I even moved the toddler slide into the pool so they climb out of the pool climb up and slide into it. They love it!
- I also was further convinced I have kamikaze children.
- They slid into the pool and water when it was still only millimeters deep.
- The word “fear” is not in their vocabulary.
- I really need to blog more, both on this blog and on the Out of the Valley blog. I get so tired at the end of the day and my brain freezes on what to blog about!
- Do you get in blogging “funks” often?
Giggles-n-Gulps
A life of laughter, wonder and surprises!
I think funk might be my middle name. Love this post, miss ya!
The blog posts from the Compassion blog trip have been incredible. Hoping and praying lots of kids get sponsored as a result.
