Staci's Challenge!
Staci challenged everyone to post a picture of them with their sisters doing something silly. Well, at the moment this is the only pic I can find. So here we are: Diane, Renee and myself!
My two little buddies are mad at me!
I just put Harriett in the sink to take a bath and I clipped her wings and she is not a happy camper right now.
Auzzie loves to take a bath, but since I made Harriett mad, he is also mad at me. They are so cute and funny!! Auzzie is in the top picture and Harriett in the bottom.

BODY ODOR! N-A-S-T-Y!!!!!!!!!!
There is just about nothing that is worse than having to smell somebodies nasty stinking body odor. People. PLEASE!! Soap and water is C-H-E-A-P!! Take a bath and be sure and use soap and water. DAILY!!! Use deodorant also. Bath your children as well. When bathing babies, be sure and raise up their little chins and get into those little wrinkles, there is dirt and dried milk, lint trapped in those little places. Spread out their little toes and fingers because things get trapped into those places. Make sure all their little body parts are free from hairs and strings from clothing. This can and will cause infections if not properly taken care of.
You will feel better and so will they. The people around you will also feel better because you won't stink!!
If there is anyone out there that reads this and you can't afford a bar of soap, please let me know and I'll be more than glad to make sure you receive a bar of soap. If you can't bath your babies, bring them to me and I'll bath them..
When I had my home daycare, I bathed more than my share of babies because they would come to me dirty and I would bath them and wash their clothes and they went home clean.
There is absolutely NO excuse not to be clean and please don't say, "I don't have enough time"!

I collect Teapots, Aunt Jemima, Mice and Cherries!
Crystal bought me this beautiful teapot. It is my favorite. An old friend bought the little mouse for me at 'The Mole Hole'. She is so tiny. I keep her in my Curio so she won't get lost.
This Aunt Jemima teapot was my Grand-mother's. It is older than me and I'm 54. She had lost her lid years before I inherited her.
Crystal bought me this teapot as well. It is a bank. It is my second favorite.
These little mice in the teacup was a Christmas gift from my niece, Amber, several years ago. I proudly keep them displayed in my Curio as well. 
This is the book I choose to read first. It is so good. Easy read and hard to put down.
Crystal and I went to the library together the other day and we both checked out a pile of books. I checked out 11 of them and couldn't wait to get home to get started. I love to read, but I only love to read Novels, other than the Bible!! I love mystery, suspense, drama. I don't like to read romance.

----- CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones , no p ersonal computers, no Internet or! Intern et chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were nolawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on! the do or or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TODEAL WITH IT ALL!
And YOU are one of them!CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

Here are some of the things Auzzie is saying in the video. See if you can hear them. Watch it first, then play it again and listen to it with your eyes shut and you can hear what he is saying better.
Auzzie be sweet boy.
Where's Kissel (Crystal)
Hoochie Koochie
Auzzie sweet
Look at Harriett

Birthday Boy
Hey Harriett
Daniel
On the phone

AUZZIE!!!
"Auzzie on left and Harriett on the right"Tonight I have been trying to finish up some sewing and Auzzie does not like for me to sew. Whenever the machine starts running he starts his CHIP-CHIP, very loudly and won't hush till the machine does. GGGRRR!!! I finally had to move him to another room to make him hush. Well, Harriett does not like it when Auzzie is out of the room, so she starts fussing at me. I move her into the living room with Auzzie. They were very happy even though when he tries to give her kisses thru the cage she tries to bite him. I guess men would say, 'That sounds just like a woman!"
High-speed Internet!!
The Charter man came out Monday to set me up with High-Speed Internet! LOVIN' IT!! For the time being I will keep AOL as well as Charter. I need to get everything moved over and it takes me a while to figure it all out. There's also things about AOL that I'm not ready to give up yet.
I've been dealing with aol dial-up so long that I can't get over how fast I can search now. AMAZING. I only got the 3 mg and they have 5 mg and they say that they will soon be getting 10. WOW!! But each one cost more too. I think I'll stay with the 3 for a while.

I borrowed this from another blog!
"When a person has an attitude problem, what they really have is an arrogance problem. . . When we are most full of ourselves, we are most likely to make fools of ourselves. And when we are full of ourselves we leave no room for God . . . Pride fills up the space where integrity needs to reside.
A person of integrity is a person of TRUTH. Yet truth itself is not what forms integrity; rather, it's what informs integrity. Only the teachable heart will embrace whatever truth is needed for the moment. If we are not teachable, there will be no transformation. If we are unwilling to listen, we are incapable of learning. That is why Jesus calls us to be disciples and to make disciples. It is the student of life who will learn how to live. . . Integrity is formed in the heart of the humble." Erwin Raphael McManus
