At the beginning of summer, Jessica picked out a pair of new sunglasses. James and I went to her room around 10:30 PM to check on her. She was sound asleep in the dark, wearing her new shades! It was so sweet and funny! It’s a good feeling when the kids appreciate their stuff.
Dollhouse Poo!
I have very resourceful children!
My hubby has started a blog about his business and his life. I feel as though we are on this incredible journey together. I must admit it’s been very difficult at times, but I really wouldn’t change a thing about our life together. I am so proud of him. I am proud to be his wife and I’m sooooooo excited about our future! Check it out!
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both. ~James Michener
. . .the sun is always shining!
James, due to financial obligations / responsibitilty, was unable to do his annual fireworks “extravaganza”. He showed such self control that he did not purchase a single firework!
I know that the Lord blessed James this Independence Day morning. Our pastor treated James to a plane ride! Pastor is an avid pilot. He flew James all over our metropolitan area! They did three touch-n-go landings at different airports. Touch-n-go means you land, skim the runway and take off again. Pilots get licensing credit for doing this. James said it was an absolute blast! I am so pleased he had such a thrill on his favorite holiday!
I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. . . . If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. ~Henry David Thoreau
