Picture Tag

Well, what do you know? 2 posts in one day!

I got tagged by Pikes Pickles to do this. It seems simple enough.

The object of the picture tag is to:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder

3) Explain the picture

4) Tag 4 people to do the same

NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)

I had a problem though, I have an extra folder in my picture file that doesn't actually have pics in it in the #2 spot, so I wasn't sure which folder was technically #4.

Solution: I am posting pics from both of the possible #4 folders.

This is my dog Samantha waiting by the back door to go out. This is not the best picture of her because when the pic is clearer and her ears are up she is a beautiful dog.

I am not sure there is an explanation for this pic.

I took this picture less than half a mile from my house.

I call it Redneck Mailbox.

I tag the 4 coolest people who read my blog. (You know who you are).

More Wisdom

Some of these may sound familiar.

Enjoy them anyway.

.

01. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

.

02. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

.

03. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

.

04. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

.

05. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

.

07. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

08. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

.

09. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

21. Never miss a good chance to shut up

22. Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Our missionaries

We recently sent one of our sister missionaries home and another one to Richmond.

I have been late in posting the pictures, so I will post them now.

Since sending those sisters on, we have been blessed with 2 more. So here are pictures of them as well.

Me and Sister Haws who went home to Provo, Utah. Sister Bangerter, who has been in Virginia Beach as long as we have, finally got moved to near Richmond. Sister Bangerter makes scripture covers out of duct tape. This set is covered with camoflage duct tape. Good luck finding it when it's lost!

Sisters Hopoate and Abbott are our new sisters.

I have already been able to hang out with them as well as have them over for dinner.

We will definitely miss Sister Bangerter and Sister Haws. I really got to love them.

But I am glad now for the chance to know sister Hopoate and Sister Abbott.

All of these sisters carry the spirit with them and have such a great love for the people they teach.

I am so grateful I get to know them.

Hooray Jordan

My blog buddy Jordan (the Goddess of Sewing) has just announced that she is expecting a baby! Hooray for her and congratulations!

In her honor I am going to steal a couple of quotes from her blog.

-

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Some people are like slinkys. Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs!

Our missionaries/ New use for duct tape

This picture is of our missionaries. At least they are our missionaries as of this moment. Their transfers are taking place this morning and we don't know yet who is staying and going.

Except we do know that Sister Chesney (far right) is going home. (Hooray for her!)

I will miss her because she has been around for a few months and I have become rather fond of her. But I am pretty sure I will get to keep Sister Bangerter for a few more months.

On the left are our Elders Ord (far left) and Taylor (taller than Ord). We have enjoyed both of them. Hopefully we will get to keep at least one of them for a little while longer.

Sister Bangerter has come up with a new use for duct tape that I have not seen before.

She made a cover for her scriptures. Notice the bright green of her quad. No, they are not being sold in that color now. And no, her scriptures were not falling apart. She made a removeable cover for them out of green duct tape. Very inventive. She has even gotten requests from ward members to make covers for them.

I am pretty sure nothing would keep her scriptures safer than duct tape. At least no earthly intervention anyway.

Sister Chesney, (or Kimberly as we can soon call you): Good luck in the real world. We will miss you here in VA.

Redneck mailbox

Jeff Foxworthy says that the word redneck means "a glorious absence of sofistication".

Do you think this qualifies?

The extra funny thing about this is that I did not get this picture in an e-mail and I did not find it somewhere on the internet. I actually took this picture less than a mile away from my house.

No kidding.

Hey, Jim. Here's another use for duct tape.

So my question is, how are they cooking dinner?
