Before I Die...

Today I realized just how many old picture albums I have...you know, the kind on the wrong kind of paper! My sister is an awesome scrapbook artist (emphasis on ARTIST), and someday I'd like to get all of my photos organized. Any suggestions, anybody? Where do I start? I mean, I have lots of years--I won't even tell how many--and five kids! Comments please!!!!

Tigres Rule!!!!!!



I've always been a sports fan--good grief, I'm related to Judy Queen, aren't I?--but I've never had a Venezuelan team. Well, now I'm a Tigres de Aragua fan!!! They demolished the Magallanes last night in an awesome comeback. They were down in the 9th 10-3 and they came back and beat the Navegantes 11-10. Wow! We were excited around here!!! Go Venezuela in La Serie del Caribe!

Long Time no Blog

I guess it's true...I'm only 35% addicted to blogging. Sorry I haven't written a blog in so long--I'm sure you've all been holding your breath! Things are busy here in Maracay, Venezuela. Actually, we spent the weekend in my favorite place--Caracas! I know, I know, there are those who just don't get that, but hey, I grew up in a city. Hexahead or no, I'm a city girl. City for me, traffic, noise, etc. My parents got back from the U.S. and we went to pick them up. For all of those praying for the work in La Victoria, we should be signing on a local later this week. Praise the Lord! We are so excited. Our first church service should be Feb. 25. You're all invited! God bless...

I'm Blue...

You Are Indigo

Expressing yourself and taking a leap of faith has always been easy for you.

What to Do when Your Daughter is an Animal person and You Aren't!

I'm not an animal person. I thought I was, but I really am not. I mean, I remember having 3 or 4 dogs, a cat, and a toucan when I was a kid. I loved them all, but we have just had bad luck with pets ever since the Sanders family was established. We had turtles. They lasted quite a well. ALL turtles do, don't they? I mean, can you kill a turtle? We also had hamsters--TWO in the same cage once. They were brothers, or sisters, or brother and sister, I don't know. I thought that since they were kin, surely they would love each other. NOT. Sammy ate or something Hammy's head off. It was disgusting. Separate cages from now on... Hammy 2 lasted for quite a while. Sammy went into shock--just found him kind of stretched out on the floor of his cage one day. Interesting, anyway. He was taken to the vet, saved, and I'll let Mark Etherington tell the rest of the story... (it's a short--too short, sad story). Now we have two hamsters, Mr. Tumnus and Tubby. They are fine and even cute IN THEIR CAGES. We've also had 3 dogs (2 while living in an apartment and 1 in a house with a very small yard). I say all this so that you will understand that I have honestly TRIED...all for Morgan. Morgan loves and takes care of Mr. Tumnus, but now she wants a CAT. I tell her that when she grows up, she can have--yeah, rather, I will even buy her 80 cats if she wants them--IN HER OWN HOUSE. From my recollection, cats have claws and they must use them...on something. These "somethings" are not usually those cute little fluffy balls that you buy at the pet store. They prefer...FURNITURE. Now, my furniture doesn't look so great, but cat claws would finish it off. Morgan's dad is a little softer on this issue than I am, but I can just picture all kinds of disasters, starting with the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Tumnus and Tubby ... What do all of you bloggers think? Most of you lived in the jungle, so what's a pet iguana or monkey or two?! Help me out here!

Sorry, not much of a blogger ...

Ok, guys. I'm figuring out that what I really am is nosy. I'd MUCH rather read everybody else's blogs than write on mine. Either don't have much to say or I am doing so many things that I don't have time to write about them. Go figure... We've been a busy family this week. We had a fun family day on Thursday. Friday I spent preparing like a maniac for Matt and Joe's birthday party on Saturday. Happy Birthday to Them! I made WAY too much food--oh well, learned something new, I guess. Didn't have too big of a party~only about 30. Made food for a couple hundred, it seems. Now, you know, I don't know how to put pics on here either, or I would... Guess I'll ask a kid!
