I am trying to minimize and simplify.

It is tough because I want to hold onto everything. :-).

I want the freedom that comes from having less stuff!

I can do it

Being a parent is the greatest job in the world

I am copying ths quote from Kandee Johnson who writes a few blogs, this one is from 'Kandeeland'.   

She says, "I'd trade every hour of sleep, every minute of getting ready, every hot meal, every free moment to do something I want to.....to be with my babies. The greatest reward in life is not going on fancy trips with your friends, not having hours, to sleep in as late as you want, or spending as much time as you want getting ready, or going out with your friends. The moments that matter are the  each heart melting, moment I get to pour love into my little ones hearts. Even each moment when I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't get anything done, and I look at my kids, and know that they are more important than the piles of laundry, the things that need to be organized or swept.

Being a mom is the greatest, most meaningful job in the world. If you look at money, the pay isn't great, but the best things in life don't have price tags. And being a mom, a mom that is willing to sacrifice her time, sleep, life, and to give her heart to her kids...is the most amazing thing you'll ever do. You may not get an award, medal, certificate or recognition, but the greatest reward is that precious little heart that you've filled with more love.

Don't stress Thanksgiving

They don't care if the turkey turns out dry. They don't care if we'll have enough seating for everyone. They don't care if we eat off of Chinet plates. They don't care if the house is spotless.

I should relax. My guests will not care either. If I am stressed, they will feel uncomfortable. I will do my best and try to have a good time.

It's all about having a good time, right?

That's it

The air is so clear after a snowstorm.

The mountains in the distance are more visible.

It is cold, but a short walk in the neighborhood helps us have a better day.

This is the view I have when I walk on the trail.

I love a good walk!!

This inspiring message came from a sixteen year old!

Her father was reading the newspaper and apologized to his daughters for the bleak future of our society. The feeling in the room was discouraging until she came back with these faithful words.

I love her attitude!

sand puppy

I saw another bee-ant on my hike.

'Bee-ant' is the name my son gave these creatures when he was little. The name stuck. Another name I've googled is 'sand puppy'.

This one I only took a picture of. A couple of weeks ago, I brought one home in my empty dog poop bag.
Picture
This is the one I brought home to be a pet for a day. They eat apples and tuberous veggies like carrots.
Picture
I thought that the bee-ant would not be able to climb out of the container I had it in. My husband joked that he would be the one to step on it if it got out.

Well it did get out overnight. I searched everywhere in the vicinity for it. My husband was right. He found it the next evening right where he would have stepped on it getting out of bed.

That hearty bug crawled more than ten yards away! It was quite exciting!

We let it go in our yard in a place where I found another one a few summers ago.
Picture
I like bee-ants. They are so weird looking! We love to watch them. We catch at least one every summer.

I guess I love bee-ants. I love God's creatures.

They wore their Halloween costumes for about five minutes.

They stood still as if I was punishing them.

I took a few pictures and removed the costumes to give them relief from being skunks.

I like them better as dogs. :-)
