Just so I remember what this year's Christmas quilt looked like. I'm sure I will need
to make another next year.
Making a dress out of a t-shirt and a huge pair of t-shirt shorts, takes planning.
It's not a dress for "good" but it will do for stay-at-home-days.
Last week Ezekiel spent the week working with my brother in his computer store.
I called it computer camp, he worked at beginning programming and getting the feel
of customer service. It also led to a possible after-school job.
He messaged me on the first day and said "well I'm the new guy, you
can tell because I only have one screen, Tony has three."
We went to Bradford to bring Ezekiel home and while there we visited Kinzua Bridge. The last time I saw that bridge, Ezekiel was about 2 and the bridge extended the whole way across the valley and you had to keep an eye on your watch. The train schedule was posted at the entrance to the bridge and you were expected to get off the bridge before the train roared across.
God allowed the weather to show man's mistakes in leaving very old bolts
in the base of the bridge when they repaired it at one point.
In 2003 half the bridge came crashing down during a tornado type storm. Thankfully no one was on the bridge and no lives were lost.
Hanging out on 300' high bridges with glass windows is OK for an occasional trip
but those little people just have no fear and would have leaned 'way over the railings if we mothers wouldn't have been watching :)
Go to Tony's blog for better pictures of the ruins.
was born in the year ours came home....so there is a difference of a months/ years depending
which of our children we are talking about. They had lots of fun playing "The Bean Game"
We ordered it the day after we came home and they are spending much time trading
"soy, stink, wax, or coffee".
We were at that bridge just a few weeks prior to the tornado.My husband dislikes heights so he opted to do the hike instead of walking back across the bridge.That game sounds interesting,I'll have to check it out.
