Ann...A Canadian Pure blood runs arond 35-45 thousand up here. It is a very good riding horse and jumper. My daughter just bought one for her girls and it was shipped to Florida a few weeks ago. That is the average price for that breed of horse across Canada. The same animal bought in the USA can run up to $80,000. ...I think there are some funny antics in that industry.

We like the car, thank you. Prolly be the last one we buy...Next one might be a Cadillac black van, commonly called a hearst,,just rental mind you......

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Sheila, Actually the new one is for Mary. I get to retire my old truck and drive her old car.......Why do I always get the "old" things? lol

The new one is a 7-seater, so I'll get to take some of the old folks out for a drive in the countryside....Mary can drive when she finally retires in March.

Cheers,

Jim

Good morning all,

I woke up to a blessing this morning!

Our basketball and volleyball team are in MO at a tournament this week-end and I had a PM waiting for me from a BB member when I got up this morning. He was at the tournament too.

I don't think it will hurt to post it here since no one knows who it is from. I don't even know! All I know is his user name, but the PM sure lit my fire, especially since my granddaughter is the volleyball coach and my grandson is on the basketball team!

Wanted to pass on: I was at the Basketball/Volleyball tournament at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Missouri, and man, was I impressed with Park Meadows' young ladies.

You only had six young ladies, two much younger than most of the other young ladies on the other teams, and no matter how tired they were (from not being able to substitute), they kept giving it everything they had.

Not to mention, if one of them made a mistake, they all publicly encouraged that individual.

That says volumes of scripture about the character of the young ladies themselves, the coach, and your church. Y'all have much to be proud of there. Keep up the good work!

I thought it was SO nice of this gentleman to take the time to write this PM.

My daughter is at the tournament and I called her cell phone this morning. All the adults were having breakfast together and she put her phone on 'speaker' and I read the PM.

That nice gesture of one of our BB members made everyone's day start off with a blessing!

Time for coffee,

Today is pretty sad for our church family. A dear man in our congregation died this morning of lung cancer. We saw him Wednesday night and he looked pretty good for a man in his state (he was at hospice) and he died at around 9:30 this morning. I'm just so sad - but glad that he can finally breathe and run and just praise the Lord all day long. He was just 50 years old and leaves behind a wife and 2 college-aged daughters. His memorial service will be Monday - I'm sure I'll be working all Monday morning to get ready for it - Bob will do the music - including a song from Kathy Troccoli, an old friend of his, which made me cry when he just played it. **SNIFF**

The rest of my day was spent putting together the Sunday service on the computer including TRYING to find good pictures of the pastors for a fun thing we're doing for Pastor Appreciation. It took me almost 3 hours to find 9 pictures. Bleck!! But I finally got it done, came home and am now relaxing with you guys and a cup of tea - I need it! Tonight we'll go out to dinner (the yacht club - gotta use up the rest of our minimum - we pay it anyway, might as well get something out of it) and then we have cell group (our small group).

I have to say that I'm really fried. :tear:

Good morning all!

It is pretty cool here this morning - again...but at least the sun is shining.

Daughter, grandsons, granddaughter, and great grandson will be coming back from the basketball/volleyball tournament in MO sometime this morning. Other than that, and running Shawna to work, it's going to be a 'laid back' day for me. :applause:

I've got to get started baking Christmas goodies and sending them out. I usually start the 1st of October. I'm running late this year.

2 months - 58 days - 1385 hours - 83034 minutes - 4984970 seconds left to Christmas!

Time for coffee!

Good Morning Everyone!

Another busy day and this time I might not be back! Jenna has basketball evaluations, we have company coming and I have Halloween costumes and a pile of other sewing to do. I won't be back until it's all accomplished so if you don't see me for a few days, don't miss me too bad.

Ya'll have a good day.

Talk about evaluations!!!!!

 

[preacher]

Is that part of the SAT's now???

Is that part of the SAT's now???

Didn't you know that they expanded the SAT? It's to measure how well-rounded the student is. It covers basketball, music, cooking and driving. It's quite a bit harder than when WE took it!

Eeh - that's so old-school. You know, you must worry, above all else, about the children's self-esteem!! We can't have them feel like they're failures, you know! We must test them on things that they're good at -whether it will help them in life or not.

The same thing that happened to the 'hickory stick'...

Pleasant dreams all!

Is the "hickory stick" the same as sayin' --- The Paddle???!!!

 

[Oasis]

My dad had a paddle with my name on it. He kept it in the night stand drawer by his bed. He tried to wear it out on me. It must have been made of oak. It made quite an...uhmmm...er....weeeelllll....it made quite an impression on me...or at least on part of me.

Good Morning Everybody,

I'm finally starting to feel like posting again. It's been awhile.

Can't stay long though, we're visiting a new church today, and I have to get ready.

I'll try to check back in later.
