  • Mars vs Venus

    So. We are in this really serious business meeting discussing our 'investment horizon,,' future educational trusts, special needs trusts... serious. And the gentleman, Marc, leading the discussion decides to tell a tale on a mutual friend of ours. Seems they were out golfing one day when "Dan" swings a bit too hard with his wooden golf club and
    sends it into a nearby pond.

    So it's floating in the pond.... and Marc encourages him to go after the club. So, Dan takes off his socks and shoes, rolls up his pants legs and wades into the water. About 5 feet into the pond, Marc whistles. Dan looks back and sees his friend 'relieving' himself into the pond.
    The other three males in the meeting think this 'tale' is hilarious and die laughing. I'm looking at him like... This is funny? 
    Naw. This is GROSS.

    Do you think the 'male' and 'female' sense of humor is the same?
    I think not.

  • So I went to the mall today. I need camp clothes. Yes, I've officially lost my mind. Next week I'm headed to SC with a bunch of hoodlums... third to sixth grade boys and girls.

    Since I'll be living in a college dorm room (oh joy) and basically sweating it out with a bunch of youngun's in various camp activities (like chasing each other with water balloons) I decided to update the wardrobe. Thank goodness the sales are outrageous this time of year. I racked up some serious threads with very little cash. It was sweet. Anyway, I found this little green top and decided to wear it this afternoon.

    When I walked up to Rebecca at church, she gave me a blank look. Then she started laughing and said, "I had no idea who you were... you look twenty-ish. I was like... 'who IS THIS chick talking to me.'"



    Yeah. I need to consider giving the girl an allowance.

    I'm headed back to the store in the morning to buy the same shirt in every color it comes in... 'You Betcha.'

    Keep the Faith,

  • Eyes of Love

    wedding

    One afternoon in a rare moment of 'aloneness' with my husband, I glanced in the visor mirror to check my makeup. The stark sunlight revealed every bit of my age and then some. I sighed and he asked what was wrong.
    "Getting older.... it's such a mean trick," I replied. "Inside I feel the same way I did when I was just a girl. Then... I look in the mirror and I see an old woman."
    Reaching over to grab my hand he said, " And when I look at you, I see the sixteen year old girl I fell in love with."

    As he is not one for giving compliments, it made his words all the more special to me. I don't remember where we were going or why but.... I will never forget what he said. Truth was in his voice. And it occurred to me that he was right. When I looked at him, I saw the seventeen year old boy that I fell in love with nearly three decades ago. Time does change most things, but not the eyes of love.

    Keep the Faith,

  • Burning Question

    Okay. So Older daughter #3 has been invited to two proms. One on Friday night..the other on Saturday...different dates.

    So the big question is this... "Does she need two prom dresses?" What say you?




  • Flood


    They closed the schools today. My children want to know if they get the day off from homeschooling. Their dad told them that the only way they could have a 'flood' day was if there was a river of water flooding the house. There are some disadvantages to homeschooling.
    Let's hope they don't decide to plug up the tub and let the water flow.

    Last year we were in a ten year drought. I guess God is storing up the water for this summer. Meanwhile, the house is mildewing outside, the garden is a muddy river and the driveway is a 'slip-n-slide.' On one main highway, next to a pond, I dodged five turtles trying to cross the road...all at the same time.

    Other than the fact we are considering building an ark, it's life as usual on the farm.
    Keep the Faith ~ Amy
