Jonathan Edwards quote, part 1

"I claim no right to myself, no right to this understanding, this will, these affections that are in me. Neither do I have any right to this body or its members, no right to this tongue, to these hands, feet, ears or eyes. I have given myself clear away and not retained anything of my own. I have been to God this morning and told Him I have given myself wholly to Him, I have given every power so that for the future I claim no right to myself in any respect. I have expressly promised Him, for by His grace I will not fail. I take Him as my whole portion and felicity, looking upon nothing else as any part of my happiness..."

It's still a wonderful life

Well, despite making it to the top 3 for the part of "Tommy Bailey" in a local production of "It's a Wonderful Life", Cosmic Boy didn't land the role. Well, we of course thought he was well suited for the part, but since we originally had him audition for role "just for the experience", we have to look at the positive and be thankful he made as far as he did! He's got the auditioning experience under his belt and there are some lessons learned. Good job Cosmic Boy, mom and dad are very proud of you!

Yeah, dogs are definitely smarter than cats...

This is why some of you don't have cats...

...but com'on...really...haven't you had one of those days?

Walllllll-eeeeeee....

Take it down, put it up. Hard to tell from the picture, but had to build a new wall about 12 inches closer to the exterior wall to make room for the new bathtub. I'm tired...if it were only done I'd take a lilac bubble bath...well, maybe not. But I'm sure Wonder Woman would.

Lucky us

It just so happened that "Camping World" was doing a cover story on RV'ing, so, even though we didn't have a camera, they snapped a pic and emailed it to us. You all can check your next issue when it arrives to see if we make the editor's cut. Our RV was just behind the photographer, you can see the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus river behind us, where we caught the huge fish.

Forgot the camera...

Well, not really...we had the camera for our recent camping/fishing trip...just not a memory card (oops). So, I had to go the archives and pull out some fish pictures from some past camping trips. I shouldn't have to even say it, but the fish I caught this time were HUGE...you can see the picture here of some of my past fishing experience..I am used to catching BIG fish.

Well, the whole hall of justice got some on this trip, but Wonder Woman got the biggest. You'll just have to take my word on it. They were big. Wonder Woman says she doesn't want any more rainbow trout for quite some time.
