Rhett and Link at the Grammy's '07

We had the opportunity of seeing Third Day in concert not long ago. They are my mom's favorite artists, and I enjoyed the concert alot! Their songs are uplifting and I came away from the concert wondering, what did Jesus' face look like? Anyway, our favorite funny guys, Rhett and Link, met Third Day at the Grammy's '07. You can see them in this funny video.

I fixed it!!!!

Could this be the answer? It isn't perfectly cosmetic, but I think my solution works. Check out the new center of my finally finished trampock!

The center. I took the whole thing off of the frame to tie the center knots. I needed Mo (alot!) when I was putting it back on! It was tight, but not as tight as I wanted it to be. :) Oh well, I'm not taking it out again!

Ah, so relaxing. Now if I only had a pillow.

my project looks like a spider's web! Where's Spiderman to enjoy it with us?

The braid of all the extra strings that I didn't have the heart (yet) to cut.

Ooooh that sun was bright!

This is the view looking up. Has there ever been a better napping place?!?

a picture is worth a thousand words

Today I would like to share some pictures with you! Unless otherwise noted, all the pictures I post are taken by my aspiring photographer sister, Mo.

This is me working on my tramp-ock, a hammock sort of invention I made on our old trampoline frame.

Aren't apricot blossoms beautiful! God is COOL!

Us enjoying the trampock

Me working on the center. See how it looks like a spider web?
Look at the color stripes! Now that center, not so cool. It has been very hard to decide how to do the middle, and I still am not happy with it. I think I'll take it out when I figure how to make it tight, yet lasting. Back view.

I hope you enjoyed my sister's pictures! If only it were going to be this nice out tomorrow...

I wrote a song...

Just thought I'd share the lyrics of a song I wrote recently. It is dedicated to my neighbor's young granddaughter, who wanted to eat the delicious looking candy that was actually droppings from our bunny.

Bunny poop is like candy.
Bunny poop is like candy!

It's got
an amazing crunch
So brown
munch, munch, munch!

Bunny poop is like candy!
Bunny poop is like candy.

Ok, I know it's not the kind of song you expected, but you should hear it played. You almost want to go get a plate and fork.

Strength found in friendships

Wow!

Wow. What a lovely week I've been having. I got to go visit a friend at her farm in almost-Nebraska. We had a delicious time visiting about everything from the pond we walked around to what life is like living in Africa. She has been to Uganda, and I am getting ready to go to West Africa, so we did talk about that alot. She even made me an African meal, complete with posho, and we ate it with our hands! The fellowship was the best part. There is nothing like sweet conversation while swinging on a homemade swing set!

But that was only the beginning. I got to see another good friend just a couple days after I got home. My little sister had to go to the orthodontist, and a friend I've known since I was 5 lives in the same town as her dentist, so YAY! we got to stay the night with her and her family! We even made time to ride horses in the morning before going into town. If making new friends is delightful, so is hanging out with an old one. Old friends rarely misunderstand you, and you know they will continue to love you, no matter what you do or have done. Even if they aren't coming from the same place as you, they know where you come from, and love you because of it! The best part of this visit, I think, was watching the sun rise in the cool morning air, while we walked to the edge of the pasture, visiting. If you all haven't figured it out yet: I love visiting!

God's blessings are always timed just right. Now I can dig into some of the work that is set before me with the strength found in friendships. God is so good to me!

Misery
By MillieJo

Today
I feel
Like hiding in a hole
In the ground
Like a
Badger.

Then if
I saw a
Person, I'd come out
And bite
Him.

And
I would go
Back into my hole a
Very miserable
Animal.

Reminder
