dad's memorial slideshow

This is the video that Matt did for my Dad's service...can't believe it's been two years...really thankful to have this.

POISON

it's just not an interesting day until you get carbon monoxide poisoning! by the way, we're all okay...got out of the house for awhile and located the source, no thanks to our realty company(don't get me started), but a nice atmos energy guy...have to get the oven replaced..thankfully matt and i were the only ones who experienced any symptoms and they seem to be wearing off, so i think we're all good...but, just to warn everyone...from now on, when i say something stupid or run into a wall...i'm just going to blame it on the poison! ;)

once upon a time...

to the makers of the v-reader:

i'm all for technology, especially if it has an educational value...nothing against what i'm sure is a good product...but, as for your commercial...it DRIVES ME CRAZY!

the opening line is...'once upon a time, there were books'

WHAAAAAT??!!!?!!? seriously, every time the commercial comes on, i cringe. like i said, i embrace technology in many ways...even read occasionally on the iPad...but, if it's all the same to you...i'm going to hold onto my books and teach my children to do the same

for my friend Sunday

what a beautiful service it was yesterday, to celebrate your beautiful life, my sweet friend...you looked dapper of course...we already miss you so but, as the pastor said, 'to be absent in body is to be present with the Lord'...you have left such a beautiful legacy and all the death in the world couldn't take that away...hope you approved of my outfit...save a seat for me at the party...we will treasure all you have given us...until we meet again...

Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell

And they shall cheer and comfort me.

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.
