Without her Helen Keller wouldv'e probably never accomplished all she did. Anne went through quite a few adversities herself as a child, overcame her sight disability and graduated from college, she too was an amazing woman. Thank you for your comment Libby. Artcraft The Things We Remember - Blog Entry17 Jan 2007 01:42 PM Sherry, I know the pain, the fun memories, the emptiness when she is gone. My friend Rachel passed away and left the biggest hole in my heart. I still miss our visits, our together time and her interesting stories. I am grateful to have had a friend like her for over 20 yrs. Enjoy your memories, I will pray for her children. Artcraft Marshmallow Sculpture - Blog Entry17 Jan 2007 01:36 PM What a great idea for a rainy day project. I look for things for my boys to do instead of "hanging out" on their XBox. They love marshmallows and I am trying to develp their crafting skills. This is a definite, doable activity. Thanks, Artcraft Adoptive Parenting Traits, Part 3 - Blog Entry17 Jan 2007 04:30 AM Good blog Ed. The behaviors that have manifested in our little ones take a long time to alleviate, if they ever go away completely! Mine still have a tendency to overdo. When we first got Randy, I would set their gummy bear vitamins out, prebrace days, and one morning he ate 12 of them before I realized it! He has a tendency to overindulge in anything he likes a lot. We constantly reinforce, it will be there tomorrow, you don't have to eat it all at once. And of course there is Daniel's hoarding. Artcraft Marily Smith: New Preparedness Blogger - Blog Entry17 Jan 2007 04:24 AM Hi Marily, I am looking forward to your blogs on this topic. I live on the Texas coast and deal with hurricane season every year. Being prepared is mandatory in this area. Artcraft A Damsel in Distress (1937) - Blog Entry16 Jan 2007 05:18 PM I love Fred Astaire. I could sit around all day and watch old movies. My mother went to school with Betty Grable. Artcraft On Having a Calling - Blog Entry16 Jan 2007 05:07 PM Like I said, God has "plans" for us. They may not necessarily be the ones we had originally made for ourselves. Sitting on a deck in Maine, hmmmm, that'll never happen. Mine is more like setting up the picnic table in the backyard. Glad you got to see former coworkers, God likes for others to see His work in action. Art Fast Transitions - Blog Entry16 Jan 2007 05:01 PM I can only imagine how scary a quick transition must be for a little one. Everything is new and strange. Art Adoptive Parenting Traits, Part 2 - Blog Entry15 Jan 2007 10:23 PM We had similiar problems with ours. They arrived on Thursday. Saturday Daniel just collapsed into tears and wails,for no apparent reason. We were shocked and unaware he was having any emotional problems, other than the obvious, his tears were wrenching and he refused to be comforted at all. Randy just stood there observing, no reaction to his little brother's plight. The next day it was Randy's turn. He flew into a rage about his mother's drug abuse. Wailing and screaming in his room It was pretty nerve racking, to say the least. They have since stopped the extreme emotional rants, thank God. It took awhile though. Art Want to Stay Healthy? Wash Those Hands - Blog Entry15 Jan 2007 08:24 AM Being in the food service industry for 34 yrs., attending certification classes with the health dept. every 2 yrs., and having a mother that reiterated daily, cleanliness is next to Godliness, I can certainly relate to the dilemma of getting kids to wash theri hands. We stress this on a regular basis. Great reminder. Artcraft 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
