"How I met my husband" part 2

As I said in the other entry, I met my husband while he was hitchhiking. He looked like a friendly sort of guy, holding that big yellow thumb, and he had a big smile on his face. I picked him up. When we arrived at our destination, I tried to get him a place to stay, but could not find anyone who wanted to take a chance on a hitchhiker. So, I called my mom and told her the situation. She trusted my judgement. I drove the 12 miles out on the country roads to my parents home. Greg had an Ovation... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing at the library

This a.m. I kept pushing the snooze on the alarm. My husband left about 8 to check out a job he might get. I got up, told him goodbye then Clementina and I hurried so she wouldn't be late for her Homeschool PE class. While she was in her class I rode on the excercise bike and started the book, "Sinner", by Ted Dekker. After that I shot baskets for about 1/2 hour. It is frustrating typing at the library, because I learned the Dvorak keyboard and forgot the qwerty one. I'll add another post and... Sign in to see full entry.

1 minute to write

I'm on my way to work. This time Greg is coming with me, so he can glue a piece of wood that I broke on a cabinet door.:( All is well here. God is good. Random question: What creepy crawly thing is worse than a scorpion? My answer - a 6 inch centipede. Sign in to see full entry.

Family home again

Everyone got home last night while I was at work. I finished very quickly, as I wanted to see everyone. Their were stories to tell and crafts to show. Today I tried to get on the internet a few times, but it wasn't working very well. Last night I had made some homemade bread, the first time in over a year. It turned out amazingly. I was surprised because I kept getting distracted and had to punch it down a few times. The children are getting back into their school routine. We homeschool, and... Sign in to see full entry.

How I met my husband

Sometimes people ask me - "How did you meet your husband?" Finally I tell them, "I met him while he was hitchhiking." I was driving my blue VW bug to Portland, OR with my cousin who was staying with me. As we were on the way back to Eastern, OR, we saw a hitchhiker on the side of the freeway. He had on a Stetson, was holding up a large cardboard yellow thumb with his guitar and pack on the side. I asked Lisa, "Does he look safe?" She said, "Yeah, I guess." So, I backed up. I had a PTL sticker on... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
