…if an oven had TWO knobs – each marked 0 to 350 degrees. With an additive effect. Therefore, if you wanted to bake at 450, any combination that added up to 450 would work (one knob at 350 and one at 100, for example). Not only would this help teach addition, but also degrees of a circle, at the same […]
Well, we painted most of the outside today. I have pictures of the updated landscaping and the house but they’re still on my mom-in-law’s computer. I tried to copy them to my webspace but they didn’t go. I’ll try again tomorrow, hopefully. Also, the current owner had a load of dirt delivered to help fill in holes in the yard. […]
that I was at some sort of school or something (I waited too long to write this) — anyway, and former President Clinton was there and I shook hands with him and I was excited – not because it was Clinton, but because it was a former President. Pretty weird LOL!
We’re back from five days of camping – in tents, with no electricity and no plumbing – by a creek in Tennessee. It was BEAUTIFUL weather! We had a great, relaxing weekend. It’s a shame we can’t ‘get away from it all’ more often!
We were moving. The house we were moving into had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a room with a pool. The back door had three ‘panels’ – the middle was the actual door and the two side ones had windows. The window panel on the right of the door was also a door that did not have a lock. We […]
So don’t worry if I don’t post for a few days 🙂
I got my bedroom mostly done! See Pictures!
I saw someone type in a chat “my messages aren’t working, it doesn’t seem”… and I hear people say, “It isn’t working, I don’t think” and things similar. I hear myself say “I don’t think…” too often. Now, really. When I’m saying something like that, I’m saying what I DO think, not what I DON’T think. It would be more […]
I dreamed we were at this Bible school thing of some kind. There was a big dormitory building that had a big multi-unit bathroom and several dorm rooms for two people each. I was in a room directly across from the bathroom.At one point, I was in the bathroom and it was flooded and the bottom of my skirt got […]
I dreamed this morning that I was in some large restaurant/advertising place, and next to me on the wall/table/divider was a bottle marked “Scrumptious Reagent” (if you don’t get the reference, see Kingdom of Loathing) and I asked the guy who worked there how much it was, and he said there were 20 servings in it, and the whole bottle […]
and had one temporary filling, one permanent filling, and one partial root canal. Ugh. After that, Robby was going to change out the oil pump on the 15-passenger van, but was unable to get to it (he’d have to drop the transmission)… so that will have to wait until we can afford to do it. Bummer.
We cleaned out our white minivan thoroughly, to take it over to Decatur to get a new engine put in. We drove both vehicles to Huntsville, where the blue 15-passenger van’s oil pump gave up. We pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot, and had a snack while waiting for my mom-in-law (on her birthday, no less!) to come up […]
I think it’s time to henna my hair again; it’s starting to have a little bit of non-red-coated root showing. We have thus far been unable to find a house in our price range that isn’t either falling down on itself or un-re-sellable. I did have the thought that – if we are forced to stay here too long – […]
So, we are not moving; we’re still looking; only God knows when/if we’ll get something larger. Meanwhile, things are going along as normal. We’re planning a big camping trip, which should be fun. Not much to say this morning. Maybe later.
We spent all day long driving around town (5 hours), looking for houses for sale. We have asked, but not yet received… sought, but not yet found… knocked, but the door has not yet been opened unto us. Sigh.
The little house I mentioned last night was a For Sale By Owner. This morning she called and said she changed her mind about selling. I cannot describe the relief I felt at that statement! Sometimes, I like things being taken out of my hands, as it were… so we are still looking. Robby remembered this morning about someone who […]
I can’t help but wonder why? Why did God allow us to look at – and fall in love with – a dwellingplace that appeared to be perfect for us… one that had things arranged in a way that we liked and would enjoy… and then YANK it out from under us? Was it to teach us to be content […]
Nobody will do an appraisal, so we can’t get a 100% loan, and we can’t afford a downpayment. Such is life.
when Nate thought I was sleeping, he laid down next to me and said,“Dear God, Please help my toe feel better, and…” some other things I can’t remember now, and “help us get that new house. In Jesus Name, Amen.”It was so sweet! I had a dentist appointment yesterday morning. I was hoping for a filling but ended up with […]
