My Dear friends it has been way to long since I have written. and so much has happened that I can hardly believe it myselfe!!! I guess all the business started when my brother Josh (who is in the Army) called and said that he was getting married that next monday and wanted us to come. WOW that was a suprise we were expecting him to get married and he was talking about in Dec. but then he realized he wanted it sooner and since he was on leave for a short time he decided that it was a good thing to do. So dad was wondering wether we should try make it or not and with some persuasian from us children we went!!! the whole trip took 15 days, 15 hr, and 28 min. the sights were more then beautiful and the wedding was lovely. we loved the girl and she loved us!! About the only thing that damped the trip was that my memory card that had the pic's of the wedding came unformated and so to reformate it it would delete the pictures and I was the only one in the family who had a camera.That is horridable and I hope I can bring it to a camera place and see if they can get the pic's off.( if anyone has any ideas) There were 800 of them. two days after we got back we headed for WI to drop off my sister at my older sister's to help with her sewing, she is going to be a missonary in nicarogua (sp) when we got back home for three days before we took off for northern MN on a five day trip to some friend and the day after we get back I go to a twins game in the cities. WOW GO TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully then we well have time to breath but it almost dosn't sound that way.

Well it's late and I am tired so I better get myselfe to bed. and I also have a bad cold

Advice from an old TN Mountian man

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:08:26 GMT

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled.
Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It doesn't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel or unkind word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest up to God.

I thought this was a very interesting qoute that I came across.

"Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. We did not pass it to our children through our bloodstream. I must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or onr day we will be spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's childdren what it was once like in the United States where men were free!"
