Something to ponder

St. John of the Cross

"Wisdom enters through love, silence and mortification. It is great wisdom to know how to be silent, and to look at niether the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others."

I read this quote today and it perfectly expresses why I got off of FB for Lent. While I don't think FB is a bad thing, I knew that for me it was something that was not helping me become a better wife, mother, or Catholic Christian. I can always use more help on those.

I had a heart attack at the grocery store this morning

and freaked out the kids

when I saw

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kidding--Quisp is back!! These are the kinds of things I think about;

like, "I wonder why they quit making Quisp? I wonder if they'll ever make it again?"

I tastes just like I remember it

(which is to say, it tastes just like Captain Crunch, in saucer form).

Of course, the next thing I started thinking about was , "I wonder if they'll bring back Quake, too?" and the biggest question,

"Maybe they'll bring back --Freakies--with the little freak toys inside."

A Valentine song

To be sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday to you"

Happy Valentine's to Liz, Happy Valentine's to Liz,

Happy Valentine's to Liiiiiiiiz,

Happy Valentine's to Liz.

(hint, hint)

The Timmy Edition

What's this I hear about snow?

Oooooh....is this snow?

Gimme, gimme, gimme!


I think this might be fun, after all!


But it's good to be back inside where it's warm, too.

Found on the camera recently....

Someone was clowning around for the camera!
(Isn't he handsome?)

Sarah is showing her report on Ben Franklin.

She did a fabulous job!

Amy's report was about Amelia Earhart--very fascinating stuff! Did you know Amelia was inspired to fly after seeing her first airplane at

the Iowa State Fair?

Here they are together (in front of the newly tuned, much-better- sounding, piano).

This bird (a type of hawk??) was seen out the kitchen window. He stayed there quite a while.
