Do We Know How To Sew?

So, your asking if we know how to sew eh? Well, I don’t, I can tell you that much, however my friend Michael, and mother seem to be quite the experts at it.
Today I had my friend Michael over,
it was super fun. First we went and
delivered soup over to some dear friends who have a cold and on the way back, I was able to take some really great pictures of trees, the catholic church, and some other pretty pictures that were taken from my new camera. He found some really good deals on some super nice pants. So I told him if he came over that we would help him hem his pants, (mainly mom, because I don’t sew.)
So we put the plan into action. When he got here he surprised me and mom by informing me that he, knew how to sew. He was very good and patient at counting legs and pants, measuring, and cutting, and even a little bit of sewing to boot. All of this while singing and dancing to the homemade jukebox. It was informed to me that my pictures might be a little on the annoying side and that the adventurous day wasn’t to increase my blogging ability, but I didn’t care, I figured that,
that was my contribution.
Halfway through the late afternoon we had a terrible wind storm at 45 miles an hour of wind gusts. Then the notice on the TV came on telling that we have no more satellite, and that it was suggested that we call the technician. Ironically we happened to have a technician in our presence but he was busy hemming pants!!!!!!!!!!!
If any of you are wondering, yes, in the crazy weather, our friend, sewer, and technician did, in fact make it home safely. I’d have to say it was a great afternoon. Thanks for all the fun.
So here you go guys this is it. Glad you could be apart of our adventure.
Here are some random pictures of today’s adventure.

Christmas Day

I am sorry I haven't been able to write, it has been a terribly long time since I have taken time to write, what with my computer missing in action and all. You guys have missed out on a lot, but we'll jump over to Christmas hows that?
Christmas was a great day, I got all I ever could have asked for and more. It was the most wonderful Christmas. I got a new camera, some pots and pans, an Alaskan Teddy bear, and other way cool stuff, but the most important part of Christmas is that I got to see and hear the sparkle and light in others life’s as they enjoyed their Christmas gift. It truly was a great Christmas. Then mom, and I had company for Christmas dinner. It went really well for just being us girls, then my good friend came over and helped save the day as he helped cook Christmas dinner. Here are a few pictures of the tree from our house, and lights around town. By the way, our decorators of the tree did a wonderful job Its absolutely beautiful. Thanks to all of those who helped make this Christmas a wonderful, cherished memory.

Lets Get To Know Music Better:

So as I haven't come up with anything to write lately I came across an idea that might be kind of fun. Its hard to appreciate words to songs some days because for one, we all learn differently, and 2 sometimes the background music has a tendancy to make someone not like it. Some of us are best by reading it, some are best by reading and listening, and some are best at all of the above. Anyways, I thought that since music is just a sense of poetry that it would be fun to get to know and understand certain songs. So I'll try throughout the next while to pick songs, write the lyrics down, put them on my playlist, and share what I think they mean and how well I like the song. I think this could be fun. So join in and throw a comment in or two on how well you like the song or what you think it means. Heck, I might even throw in a song that I don't even have a clue to know the meaning, and just completely ask for your guy's opinion. Hope we can all have some fun with this, and for those who don't like the songs, maybe they can at least develop a greater appreciation for the message of the song of what the artist was trying to get at. Happy Days to everyone.

100 Years:

First song I'd like to bring to everybody's attention is by Five For Fighting's song, called, "100 Years"
I Think this song is amazing in my opinion it talks about life and how life itself is a great wish and gift because when time keeps escaping us and we only have 100 years to live so its totaly worth it to live each moment and not let it pass you by, otherwise it may seem like your chasing the years away. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this song an 9, Just love the meaning and the feel it has to it.

100 Years:
Five For Fighting

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
