Get Your Girls Checked

Remember to check yourself once a month, and if you're getting there, schedule your mammogram. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but really, shouldn't it be every month? I remind you because I care about you.

Why God Made Little Boys

Why God Made Little Boys

God made a world out of His dreams,

of magic mountains, oceans and streams,

Prairies and plains and wooded land.

Then paused and thought

I need someone to stand, on top of the mountains,

to conquer the seas, explore the plains

and climb the trees.

Someone to start out small and grow,

sturdy and strong like a tree and so

He created boys, full of spirit and fun

To explore and conquer, to romp and run

With dirty faces, and banged up chins

With courageous hearts and boyish grins.

And when He had completed the task He'd begun,

He surely said, "That's a job well done."

An Apple a Day

An apple is a simple thing really. A small round red fruit that many say keeps the doctor away, but boy it draws kids. There are many days after school that Jacob heads out to the back yard to grab an apple off of the tree to eat. If friends are over, it's such a popular thing to eat for those who think that going out to the yard to get something to eat off a tree is an unusual event. It tastes different depending on how you cut it. I'm just glad the kids are finally eating the peel! I like them baked in the microwave with cream on them. Or in the oven with cinnamons and carmels in the middle. You can hit them with a bat, or just watch the squirrels try to drag them up a tree, pretty funny. It's funny though how everyone disappears to help Dad pick them up when it's time to mow the lawn. Thank you God for the entertaining and delicious apple.
