The only thing Ada likes more than eating is eating outside!

Lessons Learned

 

 

Astrid and Logan finished the chicken coop.  Right now she is using it for the Corgi puppies.  She has sold all eight.  She wanted a new light under the carport.  Pop just had a receptacle with a naked light bulb.  friend told her she could install the new light.   Well, she thought she could and she did.  

Larry gave something important to his grand girls that lived across the way—his time.  Astrid spent many hours with her Poppa.  They squirrel hunted in the forest, built things, fished, shopped.  A frequent outing was buying breakfast for them at his favorite hang out—The Waffle House!   He gave all 3 Christensen girls driving lessons.  They would have to back up using the mirrors of the truck.  He took them somewhere in Johnson County where he let them drive for hours.  He said Ingie was the best at going backwards.  He held on with Sigrid.  She liked the gas pedal.  

The most important thing you can give those you love is your time.  They will grow up emulating what they have seen you do, not following  all the garage you spout with your lips.  Little eyes are always watching.

Adam Remember

 Adam Wade lost his Dad, Roscoe a few weeks ago.  He is missing home immensely.  He posted this little newspaper story and I am sharing it so I can keep the articles.  I have no advice for anyone about loss of a loved one.  With me, time hasn’t healed, but if you believe you will be aided by the great Comforter, the Holy Spirit.  He’s is still here and always ready when you call out to him.  

Ada’s Election Update

 

Ada Smiled

 

Ada was in such a good mood yesterday.  She is a loving, amiable child.  What a joy.  

BFF

I am with my best friend today.  We sang, read, danced and laughed together.  We haven’t discussed the election.  I’ll let her use her knowledge, understanding and wisdom to make choices.  We’ll still be friends no matter what she decides.   I hope you can be friends with those who may not agree with you.  It’s a foundation of our nation.

Traffic Jam

Traffic Jam.

My baby daughter is an RN and she works as an evaluator of needs.  It’s a pretty complicated job and it takes her all over northwest Arkansas.  She will often call me if she is stopped for road delay.  She sent me this today with the label—traffic jam.  I thought at first she saw it on the internet and shared  it, but,  no, she was heading down this road less taken for an interview with a client.   I’m not sure if it’s a pig or dog in front of the mule.  What do you think?  Nothing surprises Erin anymore on her travels.

Frosty Night

 Jack Frost rode through Galla Meadow last night.  He carries frost, ice, snow, sleet, winter, and freezing cold in his saddle bags slinging frosty weather, nipping the fingers and toes.  He rides about coloring the foliage in autumn, and leaving fern-like patterns on cold windows in winter.

Blue Moon

 I tried to take a picture of the blue moon on October 31.  Any time two full moons occur in one month the second one is called a "blue moon".  Generally, there is only one full moon each month.  Some years February does not even have a full moon.  That happened in 2018.  Each of the twelve moons have names.

January: Wolf Moon, Old Moon, Moon After Yule

February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, Wolf Moon

March: Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Lenten Moon

April: Grass Moon, Egg Moon, Pink Moon

May: Flower Moon, Planting Moon, Milk Moon

June: Rose Moon, Flower Moon, Strawberry Moon

July: Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon

August: Green Corn Moon, Grain Moon

September: Fruit Moon, Harvest Moon

October: Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon

November: Hunter’s Moon, Frosty Moon, Beaver Moon

December: Cold Moon, Moon Before Yule, Long Night Moon

Table delivered

 

Astrid and Logan finished the benches that go with the table they made for a wedding gift.  They will fit under the table so nice for a small space.  Talented  kids❤️❤️

They delivered their precious gift.  You can see it had to fit a small space but looks gorgeous.
