Since Lindsay Doesn't Have A Digital Camera

She is doing this picture week with her camera phone.

And because her camera phone is far from being color & black/white compatible, she had to think outside the box.

Hence, this picture! (Does she get any points for creativity?)

Count Me In...

... on this photo week. (See Liane's blog) Sorry that I'm a day late.





Here's a corner of my house & my self portrait.

Thirty-Five Years Ago...

... two people whom I love and respect said two words that would change their lives.

"I do."

In a world where marriage is now often scorned, and commitment is something that many don't seem to comprehend, these two have weathered the storms that have come their way.

And if you ask them, it just gets better every day.

Thank you, Mom, for respecting and honoring Dad. Thank you for teaching me, by example, how to stay under authority without losing who you are as a person

Thank you, Dad, for cherishing Mom and loving her as Christ loves the church. Thank you for giving her wings to fly, and for supporting who she is.

Thank you both for showing me what a real partnership looks like - for making marriage seem like a desirable option, and not something to fear.

I love you both so much!
Happy Anniversary!

Basking in the Joy of Friendship

God has given me an incredible network of friends... and I'm grateful!
This is one of my favorite pictures of all time!

And Then There Was The Time...

... I woke up at 3:45 one Wednesday morning, and couldn't get back to sleep.

That was a good time.

Remember That I'm In The "Adult Education" Field

Each Monday I have my classes fill out goal setting forms. They are composed of four sections...

1) Last Week's Successes...

2) Last Week's Challenges...

3) My Goals for Next Week are...

4) Where I need help/support from the Trainer...

Tonight as I was going over them I read this under one participant's number four:

"Nothing yet. Just understand if I look bored and not paying attention it's not true, that's how I learn."

(This from the person who was in their email so much today, that even after I addressed it about six times this afternoon, there was no change. I resorted to my secret weapon. I sent him an email asking him to close his! He shrunk down in his seat with red ears, and practically ran from the room when I dismissed them several minutes later.)

Somehow I don't think that "Bored & Not Paying Attention" is going to make it big as the fifth adult learning style!

More Fun In Target

Cute us!!!

We were trying to strike a pose, but instead the pose struck me... as incredibly funny!!

Tiny Morsels

My new class is really smart and a lot of fun... with the exception of one dear soul.

On the second day of training (this past Tuesday) she said, "Um, could you please use smaller words, because it's the afternoon and I'm tired."

The End.

Spring Has Spru... NO It Hasn't!! This is NH!

Yesterday was so beautiful... for a few hours! I opened my door to see the sun shining and the air all Spring-ish. I walked to my car to retrieve some items and said aloud to myself, "It smells so good out here," and made very many I'm-happy-it's-almost-Spring noises.

Then, my feet found a patch of ice, and my happy chantings changed instantly to an enraged Lindsay, sprawled on all fours howling about how much I HATE Winter!

I am now sporting bruises, scrapes & bumps on BOTH KNEES & BOTH HANDS!

PS - I was telling Mom & Dad about this over the phone, hung up, and promptly shut my finger in a kitchen drawer. Good GRIEF!

RSV-less Jacksteroo!
