Mixed Bag. Tuesday

1955

My cousin Diana, the dark headed of the older two girls, requested some memories of her mother for the celebration of Nita's 80th birthday last July. I just pulled out the photo albums and cruised around till I found something and took a photo to go in the memories. Then I emailed a photo of the photo. Pretty slick, eh?

This was taken at Granny and G'pa Swift's farm, I think about the time Nita's husband George was coming home from serving in the army in Korea. Nita's sure dressed up for a chigger infested hot day in the yard! Shirley holding cousin Kelly (now a grandfather himself) is dressed for the day and time. I'm the chubbette of the very blonde hair, the oldest grandchild. I think at that point that may have been all the cousins of that generation. Now there are 3, 2, 4, 2, 5... at least 16 cousins in my generation. My parent's generation did their part in the "be fruitful and multiply" thing.

Proverbs 5: 6 - 10

She has missed the path that leads to life and doesn't even know it.
My son, listen to me and do everything I say.
Stay away from a bad woman! Don't even go near the door of her house.
You will lose your self-respect and end up in debt to some cruel person for the rest of your life.
Strangers will get your money and everything else you have worked for.

Guess I'll let that stand on its own. It's done fine without my comments for all these thousands of years. Solomon wants to warn against the strange woman, but if I recall he was not prone to spending lonely nights.

I've been absolutely swamped with school duties, hosting a writer's group, and babysitting grands. There is no relief in sight, but I'll just try to do what needs doing for a while and not worry about my "ME" time. This is it.. blogging a whine.

Are you a news junkie? I tried this 10 point quiz. I got 6 right. See how you do. BillOreily's Quiz If you try it, let me know in the comments. Ten questions on current events. How tough can it be? Brag in the comments.

Quieter day tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually do some quilting? Robert and Ann's is just short the label. I stitched on the one for the guild's show in October on Monday. Round Robin has a plan, but the execution is languishing.
