Delightedly Surprised!!!

Imagine my surprise when I saw a comment to moderate for this blog. That in it's self was a surprise, since I didn't think anyone read my blog! LOL I just do it for fun for myself. My surprise was then increased when I realized that the commenter had left me an award for how great they thought my blog was!
This totally made my day and brought a huge smile to my face! Thanks

NUMMY!!!

We had SO much fun!!! There were tons of kids who wouldn't even walk in front of the house, let alone come up to the door! Usually the bigger kids crossed the street so they wouldn't have to walk by the house! My great parents started this tradition when I was a kids and this was the first time we have been able to do it at my house. The kids got in some pretty good scares. We all loved it and are already making bigger and spookier plans for next year!

This is how it's done, New Mexico style!

Look closely at the right front tire area!

This is what a sudden fierce rain storm looks like in the dry land of New Mexico! The first picture of the stream is not a stream at all. It's a dry wash just for times like these. I pulled over to watch this awe inspiring force of nature.
I took these pictures a little less than 5 minutes after it had started raining!!!
There was so much water on the road that the cars coming around the corner in front of us were sliding all over the place. It was very scary to see a pick up truck and camper hydroplaning right towards you! With some luck and a lot of prayers all vehicles managed to stay on the road and no one was hurt.

I gave in and just gave the glum one a swift kick in the pants and now he's havin fun!!!

It is getting increasingly difficult to live with one that is so glum. Especially when the glum one, knows not, how to have any fun!

Meet Minion

Where they go...I will follow

Why in life, do I often have the sensation that I am on one big Ferris wheel ride? Always spinning round and round, repeating many of the same actions daily, even hourly. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, fighting, working, sleeping, even loving. Is this ride spinning me down to some deep, dark abysmal place, where actions and feelings tend to become monotonous and verbose? I pray not! I pray to my Lord that I am on his continual ride of learning. I may never step off of this ride, but I might from time to time, forget why I am on it. The one great thing about the Ferris wheel is that it forms a circle, one that can always rotate, bringing me home to my Savior at any time.
