Ok, good morning world wide web. Amazingly this little blog does attract readers from all over the globe… According to Google and its amazing analytics software, we have yes that’s right spanned the globe, that’s kind of exciting. This week I am taking a step down off the soap box and just giving an update and maybe a few favorites from the past month.
So to start check out this little image of our little Lou-Hoo. Sad story, we were visiting Grandma Marti in Springdale and we were playing at the elementary school on the playground. Bagiera was running around taking pictures of the kids and it came to little Lou-hoo’s turn, she was climbing up the monkey bars and right before Bagiera took the shot she wanted to pose and slipped off the bar and fell down quickly placing her bottom lip onto the bar followed by her front teeth right thru her bottom lip.
We have had a few birthdays this last week as well. Little Stinker-hoo turned 3, and my Dad turned 50. Stinker-hoo is in love with Monsters and Super Heroes. My Mom threw a surprise party for my Dad in the form of a wake at Spilsbury Mortuary with a mock funeral service and all, sounds twisted I know but, It was actually a lot of fun and everyone had a great time.
To wrap up for this week, we had a Sunday School lesson that talked about how the right path and the wrong path are getting so far apart that you can no longer walk one foot in each path (trying to avoid confrontation.) You know which path you choose and it is time to show others what path you are on even if it requires you to rock the boat a bit. I received an email that I really liked that was along these lines. Here is a summary:
At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country’s prior actions, here’s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large
group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that
we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?”Without hesitating,
the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the
Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t
have to speak German.”
P.S. If you haven’t checked this out yet you need to. It’s hilarious! Mike and Wes good move we love it!
