Plan vacation 2005

Hurricanes and Gas, It did not come to pass (exactly) 4 years ago

We had a great vacation planned. I must confess, my husband did most of the planning but I helped. We were to go to Boston, New York City and Gettysburg, PA. I would have been a great trip. We were to leave Sept. 4.

Then Katrina hit and it just didn’t seem right to run off and have a bunch of fun and spend a lot of money. Plus, we have an RV that gets 5-10 mph, so it was going to cost us $1000 in gas BEFORE the prices soared. We decided just to go to Pennsylvania and camp. We did see some things. We went to a fort, a renaissance festival and the field were Flight 93 went down. My husband took the boys fishing and we went into Johnstown, were ironically, they’ve experienced several major floods.

Well, I have to go to the bathroom! I must go…..

Read my Bible more (read all 2 entries…)

Hallelujah!!! 4 years ago

I am always so anxious to get my e-mail but sadly not as anxious to read God’s word. SO, now I get a chapter a day in my inbox and I can’t just ignore it! It is there, I read it and I am so much the happier for it.

Shower more (read all 2 entries…)

Good-bye life of self-deprivation!!! 4 years ago

Yes, I am showering more and even shaving my legs and buffing my nails. For me that is an extreme makeover! I decided that a little time spent on myself doesn’t have to mean that I am vain and self-absorbed. It just means that I am making sure I am taking care of myself so that I can better take care of the other nine people I have to live with every day :)
